JOSEPH Rachel Stapleton ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT TO COUNCIL DATE: November 14, 1994 TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council FROM: Rachel Stapleton, Clerk/Administrator 9 a. The St. Cloud Dry Riders have requested to use Millstream Park again this year over Memorial Day weekend for their Mid-State Rally Campout. In the past years they have used it twice and the City has charged a larger damage deposit. 9 b. Recommendations will be forthcoming. 9 c. Dennis Stueve wants to know if we can eliminate the parking in the North-South space East of Salls Bar and possibly the space West of the Annex garage to allow him easier access when bringing "snow birds" in through the alley. Currently we have 7 parking stalls, plus a handicap stall. We need three stalls for the renters and one for visitors. Staff have been using the other stalls. - 12 a. Police Federation Contract was passed out to you at the last - meeting. This document has been approved by the Federation and needs to be approved by the Council and executed by the Mayor and Clerk/Administrator. 12 h. Addressing along with Brad Meyer's letter of resignation from the committee was tabled to November 17. 12 l. Mark Zimmer stated that he lost several business lunch customers that received parking tickets for parking in the No Parking loading zone area on College Avenue. He asked how the No Parking is justified, and stated that a fifteen minute loading zone is established, rather than to take away needed parking spaces. Parking in that area should be reconsidered. 14. The Planning Commission minutes will be available to you on this issue, along with a letter of recommendation from John Scherer. Other matters of concern and in your packet: 1. The proposed tax rate as figured on the net tax capacity for pay 1995 year. The tax rate on this is 27.235. Last year it was 19.918. Taxes on a $60,000 house would be $163.41 for pay 1995, an increase of $43.90. 2. Public hearing notices before the Public Utilities Commission. 3. For those of you that were a candidate for office, please fill out the Campaign financial report form and return it to me as soon as possible. POLICE DEPARTMENT . BRADLEY J. LINDGREN, CHIEF OF POLICE BOX 268, 25 N.W. 1ST A VENUE ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA 56374 - (612) 363-8250 EMERGENCY 911 EDUCATIONAL CENTER OF CEHTRAlJ.lINNESOU DATE: NOV. 17, 1994 TO: ST JOSEPH CITY COUNCIL FROM: CHIEF LINDGREN SUBJECT: MONTHLY REPORTS DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS, PLEASE FIND ENCLOSED THE OCTOBER MONTHLY REPORTS. THERE WERE ALSO A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT WERE TABLED AT THE LAST MEETING, I WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN THEM HERE AND WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THEM AT THE MEETING IF NECESSARY. FIRST ITEM, "FAST COPS". WHAT I ASKED FOR WAS COUNCIL PERMISSION TO START THE APPLICATION PROCESS TO GET A FEDERALLY FUNDED POLICE OFFICER. THAT IS PERMISSION TO APPLY FOR A FEDERAL GRANT THAT WILL PAY FOR A POLICE OFFICER'S SALARY, 75 Y. OVER THREE YEARS IF WE GET THE GRANT. THE GRANT PAYS 75 Y. OF THE SALARY, RETIREMENT, INSURANCE, ETC. SO USING A FIGURE OF $3Ø,ØØØ, WITH $20,ØØØ BEING BASE PAY, AND ANOTHER $1Ø,ØØØ FOR INSURANCE, RETIREMENT, ETC. WE HAVE A COST OF $3Ø,ØØØ FOR AN ADDITIONAL OFFICER. THE GOVERNMENT WILL PAY $22,50Ø AND OUR COST WOULD BE $7,5ØØ FOR A FULL TIME OFFICER. THIS IS A VERY GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US. HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS WHY. 1. WHEN YOU ADD UP ALL OF THE OFFICERS VACATION TIME OFF, (13 WEEKS) COMP TIME OFF, (AVERAGE DURING THE YEAR 6Ø HOURS PER OFFICER = 8 WEEKS) HOLIDAY TIME OFF, 13 WEEKS) SICK TIME (AVERAGE 2 WEEKS FOR THE DEPT. ) YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS 36 WEEKS OF OPEN SHIFTS WHEN AN OFFICER IS OFF. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AS I'VE INDICATED BEFORE WE RUN 2, 10 HOUR SHIFTS FOR 20 HOUR COVERAGE. IN DOING THE MATH, 36 WEEKS TIMES 4 HOURS PER DAY EQUALS 1,008 HOURS OF NO COVERAGE. ANOTHER OFFICER FILLS IN THIS GAP IN COVERAGE. 2. YOU HAVE SEEN OVER RECENT YEARS THAT OUR TOTAL CALLS HAVE DOUBLED, AND WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL MAJOR/CRITICAL INCIDENTS. WE HAVE RESPONDED BY ADDING 1 ADDITIONAL OFFICER. WE ARE VERY BUSY AND VERY ACTIVE. OUR CITY IS GROWING, AND I CANNOT SEE THE REQUESTS FOR OUR SERVICES DECREASING. IN FACT, I EXPRESSED THIS NEED IN THE BUDGET PROCESS THIS YEAR TO ALLOCATE PARTIAL FUNDS FOR PART TIME HELP, OR A FULL TIME OFFICER IN THE LATER PART OF 1995; OR TO BE CARRIED OVER TO 1996 IN AN EFFORT TO NOT OVER BURDEN THAT ! POLICE DEPARTlVIENT BRADLEY J, LINDGREN, CHIEF OF POLICE , BOX 268, 25 N.W, 1ST A VENUE ST. JOSEPH, }IINNESOTA 56374 - EC·....cU¡:>t...l C:''oHq C-$ CE-..r;tJL W ....ESOT.1 (612) :363·8250 EMERGENCY 911 - YEARS BUDGET, AND TO ANTICIPATE THE INEVITABLE GROWTH OF THE CITY, AND NEED FOR OUR SERVICES. 3. I KNOW THE PRO'S AND CONS RELATIVE TO COMPARISON, AND I BELIEVE OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE, TOTAL CALLS, AND GROWTH OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE STAND ON ITS OWN MERITS. HOWEVER, BY WAY OF INFORMATION, WAITE PARK IS HIRING 2 ADDITIONAL FULL TIME OFFICERS TO START IN 1995 AND BRINGING ITS FULL TIME OFFICERS TO 8 MEMBERS & 1 FULL TIME SECRETARY. IN ADDITION THEY ALSO HAVE SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS BUDGETED FOR PART TIME HELP. IN SHORT, WE CURRENTLY, OR IN THE NEAR FUTURE HAVE A NEED FOR PART TIME HELP. UNDOUBTEDLY THE NEED FOR OUR SERVICES WILL INCREASE OVER THE YEARS, AND THIS IS A PRIME OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FEDERALLY FUNDED HELP. ANOTHER ITEM WAS TABLED, AND THAT WAS A FREE CAR UNDER THE MILITARY SURPLUS PROGRAM. I BELIEVE THE REASONING WAS TO CHECK INTO INSURANCE RATES. GIVING AWAY GOOD USED VEHICLES DOES NOT COME UP THAT FREQUENTLY IN THIS PROGRAM. I WAS NOTIFIED WE WERE APPROVED TO ACQUIRE THE VEHICLE SHORTLY BEFORE I WROTE YOU ABOUT THE BADGES AND BUSINESS GRANT INFORMATION LETTER. I WAS SCHEDULED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE NOV. 9TH. IT WAS COME & PICK IT UP OR LOOSE IT, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO ANOTHER AGENCY. I CHECKED WITH THE CITY OFFICE PRIOR TO APPLYING FOR THE VEHICLE. UNDER FLEET COVERAGE, FOR THIS VEHICLE OUR INSURANCE SHOULDN'T GO UP. AFTER BEING INFORMED OF THE COUNCIL'S DECISION TO TABLE OVER THE ISSUE OF INSURANCE I TRIED BUT WAS UNABLE TO CONTACT RON SMITH ABOUT THE INSURANCE INFORMATION, AND HE WAS OUT THE DAY WE WERE SCHEDULED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND SOME OTHER ITEMS, SPECIFICALLY A 35 MM CAMERA AND TWO USED PORTABLE RADIOS. (AGAIN, FREE) AGAIN THIS CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION, IS A 1983 PLYMOUTH RENAULT WITH 7Ø,ØØØ MILES, HAS EXCELLENT MAINTENANCE RECORDS, GOOD TIRES, IS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE, AND RUNS AND DRIVES WELL. AGAIN IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO OUR DEPARTMENT IN MANY, MANY WAYS. L OBVIOUS UNDERCOVER. 2. PINE STOCK AND OTHER EVENTS WHERE WE NEED MORE OFFICERS ON THE STREET. 3. CERTAIN CRIMES AND ACTIVITIES AND IN CERTAIN AREAS WHERE AN OFFICER IS NEEDED AND A FULLY MARKED SQUAD CAR IS NOT APPROPRIATE. 4. THE BADGES AND BUSINESS PROGRAM. 5. TRAINING, COURT, SCHOOLS, ETC WHEN WE NEED TWO SQUADS. 6. A BACK UP VEHICLE WHEN WE HAVE AND OR NEED TWO OFFICERS ON AND A SQUAD IS DOWN. 7. AN UNMARKED VEHICLE WHEN CONDUCTING SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIONS. ETC. ETC. ALSO, WE COULD IN THE FUTURE, OR NOW, USE DARE FUNDS TO TURN THIS INTO A DARE VEHICLE. PAINT IT WHITE, APPLY GRAPHICS, AND THE DARE INSIGNIA. POLICE DEPARTMENT BRADLEY J. LINDGREN, CHIEF OF POLICE - BOX 268, 25 N.W. 1ST A VENUE - ST. JOSEPH, MINNESOTA 56374 fOutA-nOlo/At CENTER OF CENTRAL MINNESOTA (612) 363·8250 EMERGENCY 911 AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT RON SMITH RELATIVE TO THE INSURANCE QUESTION, AND EVEN IF OUR INSURANCE DOES GO UP, I CAN'T SEE IT BEING OVER lØØ OR 2ØØ DOLLARS A YEAR. ON THE DOWN SIDE, THE VEHICLE WAS SLIPPED A BAD BATTERY, AND COULD USE A SHOT OF FREON. ADDITIONALLY, AND QUITE FRANKL Y , I WAS EMBARRASSED TO ASK THE MILITARY, BUT BELIEVE IF THIS IS DISAPPROVED THE VEHICLE CAN BE RETURNED. ONE OTHER ITEM, AND I AM UNSURE IF IT NEEDS COUNCIL APPROVAL IS TO SCHEDULE OFFICERS TO ATTEND 4 HOURS OF STATE REQUIRED USE OF FORCE TRAINING/LECTURE. ENCLOSED IS THE INFORMATION. THE SPEAKER IS AN EXPERT IN THE STATE ON THIS SUBJECT. JEFF YOUNG WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE US WITH THE REQUIRED HANDS ON TRAINING AS HE WAS ALSO CERTIFIED AS A CHEMICAL WEAPONS, TACTICAL WEAPONS (BATON), AND GENERAL USE OF FORCE INSTRUCTOR IN HIS FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR SCHOOL. TO - NOT ATTEND THIS TRAINING WOULD BE A GENERAL BAD DECISION FOR - OUR DEPARTMENT, AND POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS IN THE EVENT OF FUTURE COMPLAINTS OR LITIGATION. THE LAST ITEM IS A REQUEST FROM OFFICER GUSTIN FOR ME TO PRESENT A LETTER TO THE COUNCIL ON HER BEHALF. IT DEALS WITH HER WAGES AND THE STEP SYSTEM AS APPLIED TO ANOTHER CITY EMPLOYEE. IT IS SELF EXPLANATORY AND ENCLOSED. SINCERELY, ~EY J.~~ - CHIEF OF POLICE ~, " ..... ......

Dickinson Telephone: 356·7575 - November 2, 1994 TO: St. Joseph Police Department RE: Upcoming Use of Force Training -Dear Chief or Training Coordinator, The Stearns County Chiefs of Police Association is sponsoring a Use of Force Seminar with William Everett, attorney-at-law, being the main speaker and trainer. This training meets the P.O.S.T. requirements on use of force. Bill taught our agencies' a couple of years ago, and this course ~vill review some of that training, as well as some of the new issues in use of force that have taken place in the last couple of years. The training will be held at St. Jolm's University, Collegeville, ~m. at the - Science Hall Building. It is a huge auditorium setting, so there is lots of - room for everyone to attend. The dates are as follows: December 6, 1994 1230-1630 hrs., or December 7, 1994 0830-1230 hrs. The course will be good for four (4) hours of Post Board Credits. The cost is $ 15.00 per officer. You may register through the above listed address. You may make out your check to the STEARNS COUNTY CHIEFS' ASSOCIATION. We would appreciate your reservations being made by December 1, 1994. If you have any questions about registration or the course call either: Keith R. Dickinson, Avon P.D. 356-7575 OR Kenneth E. Dickinson \'Ìaite Park P.

DATE: NOVEMBER 3, 1994 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: OFFICER JEAN GUSTIN RE: DISPARITY IN AWARDING STEPS TO FEMALE EMPLOYEES I AM MAKING THIS INQUIRY REGARDING AN ACTION TAKEN BY THE CITY COUNCIL DURING ITS OCTOBER 20, 1994, MEETING. IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION, AFTER READING THE MINUTES, THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVED RACHEL STAPLETON'S RECOMMENDATION FOR MARY GENEROUS TO BE MOVED TO STEP THREE ON THE PAY SCALE, ON HER ANNIVERSARY DATE OF OCTOBER 28, 1992. I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SINCE MA Y 14, 1991. ON NOVEMBER 14, 1991, I DID SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE MY SIX MONTH PROBATIONARY PERIOD, AT WHICH TIME I SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP TO STEP ONE OF THE PAY SCALE. ~ I WAS NOT GRANTED THE STEP, HOWEVER, AND I REMAINED AT BASE PAY THROUGH OUT 1992, AND I WAS THEN MOVED TO STEP ONE IN - 1993. I WAS EMPLOYED BY THE CITY OF ST. JOSEPH FOR SEVENTEEN MONTHS BEFORE MRS. GENEROUS WAS HIRED. CURRENTLY SHE WILL BE AT THE SAME STEP AS ME, STEP 3. IF YOU WILL RECALL, DURING 1991/1992, THE CITY WAS ATTEMPTING TO REVAMP THE STEP SYSTEM TO BRING IT IN LINE WITH THE STATE MANDATED GENDER EQUITY. BECAUSE OF THIS, IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN OVERSIGHT. I RESPECTFULLY ASK WHY THERE IS THIS DISPARITY, AND I ASK THAT I BE ELEVATED TO STEP FOUR FOR THE COMING YEAR 1995. SINCEREL Y , CER JEAN GUSTIN #774 ST. JOSEPH POLICE DEPARTMENT .

Box 668 St. Joseph, MN 56374-0668 Dear Rachel: I have reviewed the issue of providing handicap parking stalls on City streets and would ..-. discourage you from doing this in St. Joseph. The" Americans With Disabilities Act" sets forth requirements for off-street parking only, and there is no other statute that either provides for this - or requires it. The reason I discourage you from marking handicap parking stalls on city streets, is that there is potentia11iability for the City in the event of an accident and/or injury. By marking a handicap stall on a City street, you are implying that it is usable by anyone with a disability, regardless of the nature of the disability. I believe it is safer to have people with disabilities entering or exiting a vehicle in a parking lot, away from traffic. If you have further questions, please give me a call. djg (G:\STJOE\CORR\NO-9A .94) SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC, ST. PAUL. MN MINNEAPOLIS, MN CHIPPEWA FALLS. WI MADISON, WI . "I- "1-"1- "I- IØ ,...

STATE OF MINNESOTA BEFORE THE MINNESOT A PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION In the Matter of the Petition of Docket No. E002/M-94-915 Northern States Power Company (Electric) for Approval of an Adjustment Clause SUMMARY OF FILING for Property Taxes, Fees and Permits Please take notice that on September 30, 1994, Northern States Power Company ("NSP") filed with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") its petition for approval of an adjustment clause for property taxes, fees and permits applicable to its Minnesota jurisdictional electric operations. The proposed adjustment clause is permitted by Minn. Stat. Section 216B.241, subd. 2b. NSP proposes to implement the adjustment clause on its electric bills effective January 1, 1995. The proposed adjustment clause is designed to recover through electric rates an amount equal to the increase in property tax expense between NSP's ~ 1993 test year and NSP's projected 1995 expense and annually each year thereafter. - The total increase in revenues and rates for 1995 is estimated at $16,560,794. Each year the adjustment would be reconciled with actual experience and readjusted for projected future increases. The revenue increases resulting from the clause would be allocated to customers based on their respective revenues and would apply to all usage beginning January 1, 1995. The new adjustment would be combined on electric bills with the existing fuel adjustment clause. ~. . . . STATE OF MINNESOTA BEFORE THE MINNESOTA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION In the Matter of the Petition of Docket No. E002/M-94-925 Northern States Power Company to Establish an Electric Rate Discount for SUMMARY OF FILING Certain Low-Income Customers Please take notice that on October 5, 1994 Northern States Power Company ("NSP") filed with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") its petition to establish an electric rate discount for certain low-income residential customers. The proposed discount is required by Minn. Stat. Sect. 216B.16, subd. 14 (1994). In general, electric residential customers who are receiving assistance from the federally funded Low-Income Heating Energy Assistance Program ("LIHEAP") will receive a discount equal to one-half of their energy charge each month for usage up to 300 kWh per month. The total amount of discounts for the first year is estimated - at $6,084,000. NSP is proposing to recover this revenue loss by elimination of the - Conservation Rate Break and by an increase in charges to residential electric customers, effective January 4, 1995. The increase in charges would be accomplished by a one time increase in the energy charge of 0.02 cents per kilowatthour or by use of an automatic adjustment mechanism through which the rate surcharge would be reconciled with actual experience and readjusted annually for projected future changes. If the automatic adjustment mechanism is selected, the increase would be combined with the existing fuel adjustment clause on the bill in a "Resource and Tax Adjustment Clause". .~- ~' < . . STATE OF MINNESOTA BEFORE THE MINNESOTA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION In the Matter of the Petition of Docket No. G002/M-94-919 Northern States Power Company-Gas Utility for Approval of an Adjustment SUMMARY OF FILING Clause for Property Taxes, Fees and Permits Please take notice that on October 4, 1994, Northern States Power Company- Gas Utility ("NSP") filed with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission ("Commission ") its petition for approval of an adjustment clause for property taxes, fees and permits applicable to its Minnesota jurisdictional gas operations. The proposed adjustment clause is permitted by Minn. Stat. Section 216B.241, subd. 2b. NSP proposes to implement the adjustment clause on its gas bills effective January 3, 1995. The proposed adjustment clause is designed to recover through gas rates an amount equal to the underrecovery in property tax expense between NSP's 1993 test - year and NSP's projected 1995 expense and annually each year thereafter. The total - increase in revenues and rates for 1995 is estimated at $1,855,270. Each year the adjustment would be reconciled with actual experience and readjusted for projected future changes in sales or expenses. The revenue increases resulting from the clause would be allocated to customer classes based on their class cost of service factors and to customers within each class by class sales, and would apply to all usage beginning January 3, 1995. The new adjustment would be combined on gas biHs with the existing purchase gas adjustment clause in a "Resource and Tax Adjustment Clause". - " . ~ . STATE OF MINNESOTA BEFORE THE MINNESOTA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION In the Matter of the Petition of Northern Docket No. E002/M-94-1016 States Power Company (Electric Utility) for Approval of an Annual RecoveI)' Mechanism for SU1vfMARY OF FILING Conservation Improvement Program Expenses Please take notice that on October 28, 1994, Northern States Power Company (Electric Utility) ("NSP") filed with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission its petition for a miscellaneous rate change approving the implementation of an annual recoveI)' mechanism for Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) expenses. NSP also requests approval of a proposed rider to its tariff sheets and requests a variance from the Commission's billing content rules and its fuel adjustment clause rules, - Minn. Rules 7820.3500 and 7825.2600, respectively, to permit a revised billing - format. The proposed adjustment clause, permitted by Minn. Stat. 216B.16, subd. 6b, is designed to recover through electric rates the increased investment by NSP in customer energy conservation programs which is not collected by current prices. The effect of the proposed change in jurisdictional electric rates would be an increase sufficient to recover an additional $10,580,747, or 0.75 percent, in 1995. NSP proposes to implement the adjustment clause on its electric bills effective January 1, 1995. , . · Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City Council for the City of St. Joseph met jointly, in Special Session with the Town Board for St. Joseph Township, on Thursday, October 27, 1994 at 8:00 p.m. in the City Hall.

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING HEARING: Acting Mayor Rieke opened the TIF Hearing to consider a Tax Increment Financing plan and turned the hearing over to Dean Otterson, Executive Director of the Stearns County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Mr. Otterson is . assisting the City through the process. He discussed that the TIF Planning Area is the area of the Industrial Park and the TIF District is the DBL Labs area within the TIF Planning District. This project will create and sustain forty five full time jobs to fulfill the public purpose requirement. The process will be "Pay as You Go." Otterson discussed the funding and payment mechanisms. Mr. Otterson informed the Council that an application to the Department of Trade and Economic Development is being prepared for a grant, to run concurrently with the TIF financed project for DBL Labs. In order for the programs to run concurrently, Otterson explained, the TIF public hearing needs to be rescheduled for December 15 along with a public hearing for the federal DTED grant program. Dick Taufen questioned how many full time jobs this would add. Otterson stated that forty five full time jobs will be added by contract obligation. Taufen asked if there is any guarantee that DBL Labs will be here five years from now. Otterson stated that no one has that guarantee, but the project is set up so that if the corporation does not perform and does not pay their taxes, the City does not have to reimburse them. Secondly, the redevelopment contract is filed against the property, so controlling language in the contract prohibiting the sale, exchange or transfer of that property without the specific approval of the Council is very . important. Page 1 . . Dan Nierengarten asked about the obligations of the City under the . plan. Otterson stated that the financing does not obligate the City but is a financing mechanism. There is no risk,to the City. The benefit to the city is an increase in jobs. Gary Utsch asked if these jobs will be for local people. Otterson stated that we do not have much control over where the labor comes from or where the employees live. These are fairly technical jobs, and they have been hiring employees from graduates of the technical college. Acting Mayor Rieke asked if there were other questions from the audience.
