JOSEPH, MINNESOTA 56374 EDUCATJOHA.l CENTER OF C£HTRAlIolIHHESOTA (612) 363-8250 EMERGENCY· 911 DATE: JULY 6, 1995 TO: ST JOSEPH CITY COUNCIL FROM: CHIEF LINDGREN SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR RESOLUTION RE: FUTURE SAFE & SOBER FUNDING DEAR COUNCIL MEMBERS, I AM ASKING THAT THE COUNCIL ADOPT ANOTHER RESOLUTION . FOR SAFE & SOBER FUNDING FOR NEXT YEAR. THIS GRANT HAS WORKED OUT VERY WELL FOR OUR CITY THIS PAST YEAR. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE ADDED ENFORCEMENT FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AND THE CITY HAS SAVED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN OFFICER SALARIES FOR OVER TIME HOURS WE WOULD HAVE NORMALLY PAID FOR REGULAR (ST JOSEPH) EVENTS THAT ARE COVERED DURING ENFORCEMENT PERIODS. THESE EVENTS ARE THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, PINESTOCK, AND THE 4TH OF JULY. IT WAS FANTASTIC THAT WE WERE ABLE TO RUN SAFE & SOBER SHIFTS FOR EACH WEEKEND IN APRIL AND MAY WHEN WE NEED THE ENFORCEMENT (AND VISIBILITY) THE MOST. WHEN I ORIGINALLY WROTE THE GRANT, ONE OF THE GOALS I HAD, WAS THAT WHEN AREA LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES SEE HOW WELL OUR AGENCIES (WAITE PARK & ST JOSEPH) WORKED TOGETHER, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE OTHER CONTRASTING ENFORCEMENT ISSUES TO DEAL WITH RESPECTIVELY. THERE WOULD BE MUCH INTEREST IN JOINING UP WITH OUR PROJECT. ALL OF THE ST CLOUD METRO AREA AGENCIES DID EXPRESS AN INTEREST, AND ATTENDED THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY MEETINGS. THROUGH THIS, THE STEARNS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ASKED US, AND WE WELCOME THEM IN JOINING UP AS A TEAM FOR NEXT YEAR. (ST JOSEPH, WAITE PARK, AND STEARNS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT). DUE 70 TIME CONSTRAINTS ON MY PART, (WE ARE VERY ACTIVE WITH CASES, AND THROUGHOUT MOST OF THIS SUMMER SOMEONE IS OUT ON VACATION) I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO WRITE A NEW GRANT. CHIEF DEPUTY DOUG PIERCE WILL BE THE MAIN GRANT WRITER THIS . YEAR. THE GRANT THIS YEAR SHOULD BE AROUND $5Ø,000.00, THE SAME AS LAST YEARS, EACH AGENCIES SHARE OF APPROXIMATELY $16,000 EACH. .i POLICE DEPARTMENT ) BRADLEY J.

INSTRUCTIONS The department heads are to be evaluat~d periodically in ten areas related to the performance of their employment. duties. The ratings will be on a numbered basis, with 5 being the highest rating and 1 being the lowest rating. If the evaluator does not feel that he or she has enough knowledge to rate the department head in any particular area, then the rating should be "NS" for no basis to provide a rating. The form should be filled out based largely upon the evaluator's personal knowledge. The evaluator may also take into consideration reliable comments of citizens, other employees, or Council members which reflect upon the performance of the job by the employee. Each member of the City Councíl should fill out their own evaluation form. Five evaluation forms will be collected by members of the Employment Committee and the ratings will be averaged and presented on a single evaluation form. Department heads will not be provided with access to the individual evaluation form of any member of the Coùncil. The department heads will only be provided with the averages. The evaluators are invited to provide any specific comments, examples or suggestions in the "COMMENTS" section which follows each question in the evaluation form. The comments will be summarized in the evaluation form presented to the employee. The . employee will not be told from whom any spècific comment came. In filling out the evaluation form, the Employment Committee asks that the Council members fairly and objectively judge the employee for each of the ten areas of evaluation~ Some employees may be strong in some areas while weak in the others. If so, - -- the evaluation form should say so. The purpose of the evaluation is to provide our department heads with some input and feedback as to their job performance. It will allow them to recognize areas in which they must improve as well as identifying the areas where their job performance is already strong. The evaluation form will alsoc,help the City identify problems that arise so that they may be corrected before becoming significant. l..;\gen\ 17038\aIOl:!C95.252 - - . ..... . ~CITY OF ST.

Although parts of the property subject to GORDON H, HANSMEIER this annexation are owned by the City, surrounded by FREDERICK L.

Upon passage of this Resolution, you should provide a copy to the Township for their information as well as sending a certified copy on to the Municipal Board. As I understand it, the Town Board is aware of the fact that we are proceeding with annexation. The Town Board is taking a "no position" stance with regard to this annexation. In other words, they are not supporting nor opposing the annexation. I also spoke with Judy regarding the Brandenburger property and some other properties which were subject to an annexation order dated February 14, 1992. It is my understanding that the County Auditor's office would not allow recording of this order because of some question regarding the underlying fee ownership of the highway right-of-way. I spoke with Denny-Kron at the Auditor's office. Denny told me that the highway right-of-way has since been deeded by the Roske estate to the County. with that action, the County Auditor would allow the prior order to be recorded. Denny suggested that we record this order and any new order together so as to avoid any gaps in title. In fact, before the current Resolution is voted on by the city council, you may want to send a copy of the legal description from the current annexation along with the legal description for the seven parcels annexed in 1992 to Denny to make sure that we have no gaps in title. Once the current annexation is approved, both orders can be recorded. . It has also been brought to my attention that the city Council attempted by Resolution to de-annex the County 75 right-of-way. This Resolution appears in the Minutes of March 5, 1992. I do not believe that the Resolution de-annexing the property would be valid unless approved by the Municipal Board. It is my understanding that the Municipal Board has not approved the de- annexation. As far as the Municipal Board is concerned, all of the property submitted for annexation in 1992 is annexed. Therefore, when the current Resolution is passed, I would recommend that the Council also adopt a Resolution rescinding the action which they attempted to take by the March 5, 1992 Resolution. Finally, I also wish to call to your attention as well as the attention of the City Council the terms and conditions retained in the Joint Resolution as to Orderly Annexation which may govern this property upon annexation. Specifically, I would make note of the following paragraphs contained in the Joint Resolution: Paraqraph 3: Properties annexed would be subject to a staged graduated increase in mill rates from the Town rate to City rate over a period of not less than three nor more than five years. Paraqraph 10: Any properties annexed which are agricultural - lands shall continue to be classified by the City as agricultural - lands and shall be taxed only at the rate provided for by law for V -,~ J_ ~ 1 Ms. Rachel Stapleton .

Paraqraph 11: This provision would appear to apply to deferred assessments. I am unaware of any deferred assessments affecting these properties. Paraqraph 12: This provision creates a formula providing that 80 percent of the cost of improvements are to be assessed on a per unit basis while 20 percent of the cost is to be assessed on a square footage basis. Rachel, if you have any questions, please let me know. Would you also keep me advised of the status of the Jannexation, Municipal Board action and any hearings which may be scheduled by the Municipal Board. Thank you.

"875·2984 Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer ~ '. , -" , · EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Work on the Stearns County Water Plan began in 1988 and the plan was adopted in August of 1991. The Stearns County Board of Commissioners has' been committed to the implementation of the elements of the Water Plan since its adoption in 1991. Minnesota Statutes 103B.301 and 103B.355 address the development of Comprehensive Local Water Plans and require a periodic update of the plan. Work on the update of the original plan began with the re-establishment on a Water Plan Advisory Committee which held its fIrst meeting in March of 1994. A public meeting to generate input for the updated plan was held in February of 1995. The format of this updated version of the Water Plan is signifIcantly different than the original. The original plan contains a vast amount of data, some of which is not contained in this version. Some of the data from the original plan is included in this version, and some has been updated and included. Information from the original plan is available for reference and use of that data is encouraged. This plan recognizes the progress of a number of organizations over the past fIve years. Work done by Stearns County Departments, Soil and Water Conservation Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Watershed Districts, and state and federal agencies has resulted in an improved protection of the County's water resources. Implementation of the Wetlands Conservation Act is a good example of a successful and cooperative approach to resource · management. This plan stresses three main Goals: - Improving the communication and coordination of the many organizations which are involved in protecting and improving the County's natural resources - Improving management of water resources through effIcient administrations of programs', effective use of funds, and involvement of individuals and interested groups - Developing appropriate monitoring schemes to track the quality of the County's water resources. It is expected that much of the work in the next fIve years will address wetland and shoreland protection, nutrient management, erosion control, education and growth management. Additionally, development of databases and monitoring strategies to support these efforts will be necessary . As new issues arise, the focus of efforts by otganizations in the County may change. The Water Plan will be treated as a working plan and updated as needed. ~ · In an effort to preserve our forest 'resources, copies of the appendices are not included with each plan. A copy of the appendices is available at the Stearns County Environmental Services OffIce. <- XII. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN .
