I Others Present JoeBettendorf,EDA Director Chad Carlson, SarahCoburn, Tom Cruikshank, Ed Abrams, Scott Mareck, Dick Taufen, Linda Sniezek, Steve SymanietzandArt Reber. . , 2. Approve Agenda. Schmidt stated that there are two additions to the agenda. First, Linda Sniezekwill be pres~nt to discuss the letter that was included in your packet about making an exception to the Rental Housing Moratorium. Also, the Council should have received a separate packet concerning the request to make an exception to the Developers Agreement not allowing anyone lto front Northland. Drive. Loso made a motion to approve the changes to the agenda, seconded byEhlert. The motion passed unanimously. I 3. MTC Presentation + Ed Abrams and Tom Cruikshank were present to address the Council. Tom Cruikshank gave a brief history of this project and how we reached this point today. A feasibility study wasjdone in 1991 for the City of St.Joseph and it was determined that no action should be taken at thattime. The demographics have changed dramatically. A year , ago, MNDOT asked ¡them to take alookat this again and are actually paying for 80% of this study. Ed Abrams i~ the consultant that was hired for this study; Ed Abrams addressed the .. Council.. He stated that he had been incontactwith Professor Steve Frank who expressed some concern over the validity of the survey that was done. Of the 104 people that were I, . .~. surveyed, 67 were r~sidents and 37 were students. . When asked what they think about bus service in St. Josep~, 54 residents said it was a. good idea, 2 said it was bad and 11 had no opinion. Twenty-eight of the. stud~nts said it was a good idea,2 said it was bad and 7 had no opinion. When ask~d if a memberoftheir household would use the service, 30 residents saipyes, 28 said nojand9 were unsure. Twenty-six students said yes, ttsaid nO,and 0 were. unsure. When: asked ifthey favor property tax dollars going to pay for the service, .30 residents said they favored it, 23 said no and 14 were unsure. Twenty three students said they favored it, one~aid no and 13 were unsure. When asked what specific places they would like to take the service, the majority of the people asked indicated Crossroads CenterIShopping.. .[ ¡ Abrams. stated· that as. a.resLJlt of the survey and the walk in· interviews, he came up with· three different alternative& for service. . Alternative One is Limited Paratransit Service inSt.Joseph. This would limit serVice to three days a week and would only be two types of service: local service in St.Josep~ followed by fixed route service to Waite Park/Crossroads center and curb to curbpickup.¡ This alternative would involve one vehicle and 1.1 hours per day, 33 hours per week and[1,716 hours per year. I Alternative. II would be Full Paratransit Service.. This would .beseven day/weekservice with the same service as. in Alternative I. . This would involve one vehicle, .11 hours per day/66 hours per week plus nine hours on Sunday, 3,900 hours per year. I . . .. .. . .. .. .. . I Alternative III would] be Route Deviation Service. Service could deviate up to :y.. mile from the route.. Service would begin at 7:15 am and proceed to the fixed route in St. Joseph. The service with deviation feature would require a 60 minute round trip running time. Tenfull . round tripswould oçcur between 8:00 AM and 5:00PM. One vehicle and 11 hours per i 1 I I . weekday and Saturday with nine hours on Sunday or a total of 75 hours per week/3,900 hours per year. . Abrams stated that a number of assumptions were made in these alternatives. First, the service would be for the same fare as theSt. Cloud MTC extended service plan ($1.00 per base fare). pecond, the 1999 variable cost ($37.45 /hour) increased by 3.5% per year to 2001 or $40.12/hr, plus $3.88/hour would be added for local share of capital costs for new vehicles. The total cost in 2001 dollars would be $44.00/hr. Third, ridership for service would vary from typical paratransit levels (3 passengers/hr) to about one half of lowest St. Cloud MTC route performance or 7.5 passengers/hr. The fourth assumption is that the State (MNDOT) will fully fund 60% of the project, leaving 40% for the municipality. Abrams reported that the three alternatives vary in cost. The local support required for option one is $21,622, for option two it's $49,140 and the same for option three. Twit asked if the federal and state support is guaranteed. Abrams stated that they know about this study and are funding part of it, but nothing is guaranteed.. St. Joseph would have to work with, its legislators to ensure the funding. Abrams also encouraged the City to seek a funding partner in the colleges as the students would also be taking advantage of this service. He suggested a cost share or a fare program. Art Reber commented that. it's important to remember that a good portion of those that were surveyed ar~ not taxpayers in the community. Ehlert asked about the hours of operation and if those could change. Abrams stated that it isn't economical to have the times spread out or different on different days. Studies have shown that people like to have the time recurring and repetitive so they can rely on it. Abrams stated that the next step to determine details like hours would be to form a . committee. This group could address issues like times, stops, signage and shelters. Twit questioned the validity of the survey with the small sample that was used. Abrams stated that although only a small number were surveyed, .the findings are consistent with other larger surveys they have done. Abrams indicated that they did what they could with the $7,000 theY,had to do the study. Loso stated .that he appreciated the time and effort that was put into this study, but this isn't the time to take on this project. He stated that the City has a lot of irons in the fire right now and it just isr't economically feasible at this point. It might be a few years down the road,but it simply isn't a priority right now. Abrams assured the Council that he isn't a salesman for the project, he is simply presenting the information. Cruikshank stated that there would be nothing wrong with waiting a few years to see if this may be something that St. Joseph would be interested in down the road. The decision does not have to be made now. The Council agreed. 4. St. Cloud APO - Scott Mareck, a planner for the St. Cloud APO, presented a resolution supporting the St. Cloud Area Planning Organization Endorsement of the Environmental Impact Statement Analysis for Alternatives 2, 2a, 3a and 3b within the West Metro Corridor. Mareck stated that at their March 23rd meeting, the St. Cloud Area Planning Organization Policy Board was presented with a West Metro Corridor steering Committee recommendation to evaluate Alternatives 2, 2a, 3a and 3b in an Environmental Impact Statement. This recommendation was endorsed by the APO Policy Board, with the following modifications: Alternatives2a and 3b should compare the benefits of utilizing the existing Old Highway 52 . corridor from CSAH 75 to CR 134 verses constructing a new 28th Avenue bridge corridor from 2 CSAH75 to CR 134.I·Alternative3b should compare the. benefits of constructing a 44th · Avenue extension from ath Street to 3rd StreetlWaiteAvenueverses aA4th Avenue extension fromath Street to 3rd StreeU2nd Avenue. Mareck. stated that as a. stakeholder in the process, the APO Policy Board is requesting that St. Joseph consider adopting. the resolution to indicate support for EIS analysis of Alternatives 2, 2a, 3a and3b. Mareck gave a power point demonstration to. illustrate the changes in the four alternatives. Alternative one would cost nothing as it is the "do nothing" alternative. Option two would cost $14 million and would put th~ ath street bridge at 71% of capacity in the year 2020. Plan 2awouldcost $1004million. Plan 3 a would cost ~6. 7. million and option 3 b would cost $1004 million.. Mareck stated that as there are p large number of agencies involved in tþisprocess, itwould be impossible to reach unanimous agreement on an alternative. at this. stage. The APO is looking for support forthis resolution wh'ichwould state. that the City ofSt.Joseph supports.the St. Cloud Area Planning Organization's endorsement of the. EIS analysis for Alternatives2,2a, 3aand 3b within the West Metro.Corridor. Loso made a motion to approve the resolution of support to the St.· Cloud Area Planning Organization Endorsement of the Environmental Impact Statement Analysis for Alternatives 2, 2a,.3a and3b within the West Metro Corridor. The motion. was seconde~ by Twit and. passed unanimously. ! Niedenfuer stated thåt in light .of this,perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to consider public transportation as an·optic)O. I 5.

Ehlert s~conded the motionan~ it passed unanimously. Twit asked Bettendorf what the difference in th~ bids for the· industria! park pond seeding was due to. Bettendorf indicated that it was the d~erence in fu~ price heween. fu~price of strawmulch and prairie mulch. BehendoITstated that M nnesota.Nativeshould get the bid; We haven'tworked with them before, but their bid was b tter. Twit expressed ~ome concern about the individual prices of the other items on the bid, and Bettendorf stated th~t this is a lump sum bid so .that the price and quantity won't change. BlttendOrf stated that P1airie Restoration worked with the City previously, but both are very c (able. Losostated that he hada few questions on item f. There is no signature on the application, nor a~y business listed. He!alsoexpressed concern that since thisisn'tadjacentto the LaPlayette, it d esn't seem we could authorize this. Schmidt stated that she would look' into this further and that the item should be tabled until the next meeting. I i 6. Northland. Drive - Chad Carlson reported that on April3rd, the Planning Commission heard a request from Mr. Steve. Symanietz regarding Lot .1, Block 3 of the Northland ·IVaddition.. The request was to have the. lot's driveway access located on Northland Drive rather than Gumtree Street. Aqcording to the Northland IV Developer's Agreement, SectionA.13(b), lots that abut Northlandprive shall be denied access to Northland Drive. Mr. Symanietz · requested that the p¡lanning Commission recommend that the City Council waive this requirement inorderforhim toco " struct a home that works with the lot grading. According to his contractor, a severe slope exists on the north end of the lot, abutting Gumtree Street. .In 3 I I i I . order to work with this severe slope, the construction of the home would be bi-Ievel with a tuck under garage or an enormous amount of fill would be required. Mr Symanietzwould like . to construct a walk out rambler on this lot. Carlson reported that Mr. Symanietz is present and would like the Council to consider the Planning Commission's recommendation. Symanietz addressed the Council. He stated that because of the sharp slope, he could only build a home with a tuck under garage and not the rambler walkout that he would like to construct. Ehlert stated that Mr. Symanietz also agreed to have a circular drive so that he would be driving out and not backing out onto. the street. Twit stated that regardless of whether or not he is backing out or driving out, it is still a safety issue c;>n Northland Drive. Hiemenz stated that the City hasn't even begun to see the traffic on Northland Drive. It's only going to get worse. This lot is especially dangerous a it is at the very top of the crest of the hill. Bettendorf stated that it is an issue of safety. The crest of the hill is fairly sharp and people's reaction time will not be quick enough to prevent an accident. You can't see the driv~way when you are coming from the South. Bettendorf stated that the City has the same problem with the lot on the other side.of the street. This is a slightly different situation as this lot is landlocked and Northland is the only access out of the lot. Weyrens indicated that the City knew about the landlocked lot when the developers agreement was signed. Ehlert asked if we are standing strong on nothing exiting onto Northland Drive. Niedenfuer stated that another concern is the width of the road. She stated that wider streets allow for faster traffic. Hiemenz disagreed. Loso stated that the original agreement was based on a safety issue and should stand. Loso made a motion to deny the request of Mr. Symanietz and to not take the recommendation of the Planning Commission to waive the requirement for this Lot 1, Block 3. Twit seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 7. Approve Minutes-Loso made a motion to approve the minutes of March 16, 2000 and . March 9, 2000. Twit seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 8. Bills Payable and Overtime/Callouts Niedenfuer made a motion to approve the bills payable 28073 through 28193. Ehlert seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Niedenfuer made a motion to approve the overtime and cal/outs, seconded by Twit. . The motion passed unanimously. Tw'ït expressed concern regarding the four officers that put in for overtime for the Building Committee meeting. The Council asked who told them they had to come to the meeting. Schmidt stated that she asked them to come and told them it would be paid time. Ehlert stated that he was impressed that they were there, but was surprised that they put in time for it. He asked what happened to loyalty and just being there to be part of the decision. Schmidt stated that she knew that Meyer wasn't going to be at the meeting and she felt that it was important that there was a police presence there. Twit stated that because Schmidt asked them to come that they would pay it, but that he has a problem with this. Loso stated that this type of overtime should be run through the Council first. Schmidt again stated that she thought it was imperative that there be a police presence at the meeting especially since there were decisions that were going to. be made at that meeting. Twit asked if Meyer was the delegate for the other employees at the previous meetings and if they would be coming to the rest of the meetings. Schmidt explained that the meetings before had been during Meyer's paid shift. These employees were off at that time. Schmidt said she would pass it along that the employees would no longer be paid overtime if they wanted to take part in those meetings. 9. Public Comments on the Agenda - There were no public comments on the agenda. . 4 I , I , I I I, 1'. LindaSniezek-Linda Sniezek read aJetteraloud that was given to the Council members in · their packets. "Dea~ Honorable. Mayor an(J Council Members, ,. Wewould like to address you for our mother, Rose Viehauser, since she is unable to do so herself because of her Alzheimer's Disease. Due to our father, RobertViehauser's untimely death, and our mother's iIIness,we are left id a difficult situation regarding our parent's home at 212 East Ash St., St. Joseph. This house is in a "Living Trust," which means that while our rnother is alive, we cannot sell her hom~.. Presently,Mom is in Arlington Place, here is St. Joseph, because we feel her quality of IifèJsbetter there, rather than a nursing home. The problem that weare . faced with, iswe neød torent out her house, becausewe need the income to help pay for her , expenses. We are hoping that you Vv'iII make aspecialexception in giving us a variance, or whatever is neededlfor us to be able to rent out the house. We have possible renters already, all of whichl, are families that we already know. . W~,feelthat not being able to rent out the house is a real hardship and hope that you take this into account when you consider our situation. We kn:ow that when you put on the moratorium on rentals that you did not intend to hurt our elderly. Thank you in advance foryour consideration in this matter. The Robe "t Viehauser f~mily and.Linda Sniezek." Sniezek stated that she also went door to door f and asked all of herl neighbors to sign a petition that states it's alright with them if they rent out the house. Ther have a number of families that are already interested. in. renting out the house. I i Ehlertaskedwhat the time frameshewas asking for as.the moratorium will end in September. Ehlert stated thatthere should be.a condition placed on it that it is a temporary rental license and t~e it is rescinded upon the death of Rose Viehauser. , Twitstated that thislshouldn't even be classified as alicense. Instead, it should be a temporary specialp1ermit.lf something would changein.Rose's status, the permit would end. There should also De a six month limit on the permit before it has to come in front of the · Council again too... I I Sniezeksaidthefamily would love to sell the. house. It's good for neighborhoods to have the housesfill~d and not sit empty. Twit stated that if the people that Sniezek has lined up to live in the housefallthr<;>ugh thatthey still need related people to live. there and not 3 unrelated people. Loso added that the traditional definition of family should be .used and not the definition in the ordinance. Ehlert made a motiln to grant a special rental permitto 212 EastAshfora six month period with the understanding that a family would be occupying it and that it is a non transferable permit that will cea~e to exist upon a change in RoseViehauser'ssituation. In addition, after the six month period, if no change has occurred,. the permitmustagain. come before the Council for review. I Niedenfuer seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 1 . St. Cloud Sewer U$eAgreement- Hiemenz stated that this item was put on the agenda for informational purposes only. We hope that we will be able to come to the next meeting with some options for financing this project. He stated that he and Schmidt met withSt. Cloud, Waite Park and sa1ell about the Sewer Allocations. Loso stated that it was his understanding that the, City is only1at 50%.capacitynow and that this was projected to. be enough space for the City for the nex~ ten years. Losostated thatthecity has so many projects to consider right now that thisqoesn'tseem to be a priority. Ehlert asked if it would be possible to pay for this in our sewer rates. He stated that Developers already cringe atour$2085 fee. Loso stated that in afew\years, St. Cloud may not be the only player in the sewer game. There maybea districtorlanotherCity that we could work with. Ehl.ert stated that if we are comfortable with our space now, and we don't have a reaL immediate need for rnore. capacity, that perhaps it does make sense to wait.

I i i i i capacity. Loso asked ifthe City has already committed to take on SL Wendel Township. Hiemonz said that nothing has been agreed to. Losò asked Bettendorf to put together a . graph that shows our capacity and interceptor use from 1986 to the present and also try to factor in the growth projected. Bettendorf stated that he would put this together, but in the past the growth has been slower and more controlled. We will probably be seeing a more rapid increase in growth now. 12. Maintenance Facility Options - Taufen reported that approximately a year and a half ago he proposed to construct an addition of 45x60 to the existing maintenance shop. At that time he did not have enough money in the budget and there were some other concerns that put the project on hold. It surfaced again last year when Mr. Lambert approached the City with some building options and again when Mr. Kittridge appeared before the Council. Taufen stated that the City has a number of options. First, they could stay where they are. Taufen expressed some concern that the Maintenance shop, fence and the Boy Scout building and salt shed are all on the easement. Second, the city could work with Mr. Lambert to relocate the maintenance shop on the property he acquired. Third, the City Could look at the property offered by Mr. Kittridge. Although this would be new, itwouldn't be much largerthan the current facility. Finally, the City could look atthe property owned by Gene Langè located at 30937,30955 and 30977 Joseph Street. Taufen met with Mr. Lange to discuss the option and Lange wants to sit down and work something out with the City, Niedenfuer asked if Taufen knew how much Lange was asking. Taufen said no. Twit stated that Lange's building seems like the most viable option. Loso stated that he is in favor of the first option. We don't have a lot of money right now and we can't do it all. Taufen stated that he has been putting money aside in his budget for this. Taufen stated that if they do stay where they are, there is no stopping Mr. Lambert from putting apartments there. He is of the opinion that a maintenance facility and student apartments is not a good mix. Ehlert asked if he was any more comfortable with the facility on the back corner that Lambert proposed. . Taufen said that there is the road access issue and that even the back corner poses problems. Niedenfuer stated thatíf we kept the facility down there for storage and had another facility in another part of town, there would still be that mix but they wouldn't have to be down there as much. Taufen stated that he would come back to the Council in a month or so to discuss this issue. Taufen stated that had one more issue. Approximately a year a~o, the city received a request to install "Slow Children" or "Children at Play" signs on 4 avenue SE. The request came from a resident living on 4th AveSE. Atthat time Chief Lindgren and Taufen looked at the area and discussed the matter. At that time, there were four day care centers on that street. Both Lindgren and Taufen felt that the signs were not needed. Often when there are too many signs, people don't pay attention to them. Recently the Mayor received the same request. A 30x30 Children at Play sign would be $172.56 and a Slow Children at Play sign (18x24) would be $128.06. Taufen asked for direction from the Council. Loso asked if the area is really sign heavy now. Taufen said no. Twit stated that it isn't the City's responsibility to keep the kids off the street. Ehlert made a motion to approve two signs for $172.56 each, se.conded by Niedenfuer. The motion passed 4:1 (Twit voting no). Taufen stated that the compost site will open.on.April.15th. Ben Hollerman will work every other week. Mr Dullinger is not interested in working this year. Jack Rassier has indicated that he will help out Ben until we find someone else to do it. Taufen stated that Mr. Dullinger would still like to place his dumpster on the site on Wed. only. Niedenfuer suggested that we ask Mr. Dullinger to take the Wednesday night shift as he will be there anyway. . Taufen stated that they will advertise for someone to. help out. 13. Employee Vacation Policy - Schmidt stated that the employees worked out their vacation . time so that they would each be down to the 80 hour requirement by the end of the year. 6 I i , , . i Twit stated that'sftn:e, but that the requirementis40 hours, not80. Schmidt disagreed,but . stated that she wou~d look into it. Loso made a motion to approve the employee vacation proposal. with the addition of 40 hours. that have to be used by the end of the year.

She. stated that she had a few concerns with the theme that pervaded the background investigation. TherErwere more than a few comments that Will may have a problem with community relation~. He takes is job seriously and that is a positive, but he is often seen as unfriendly. Niedenfuer stated that she is concerned that he may come across this way here as well. . I I I I Loso stated thaton·ce the new Chief is on board, that each of the Council members should sit down and talk to him. Schmidt stated that she would recommend that the Council do this as well. It's beneficial io find out what is important to each Council member. Hiemenz stated that he was asked to clean up the traffic issues in town and that's what he did. He had some business owners that weren't happy with him because of that. I Ehlert stated that ~aYbe this would warrant having another conversation with Will about these issues. Schmidt stated that if the Council was comfortable withit,sþe would express their concerns to Will and report back to the Council. The Council agreed. Loso made a motion to affirm th~ hiring of Police Chief Gary Will, seconded by Ehlert. The motion passed unanimously. . . J 9, Adj~urn - 1.I'QO ¡asoroade a ",of Ion fa adjoum,sec"'!ded by Ehlert.
