2002 Proposed Budget: The Council met with Public Works Director Dick Taufen to review the proposed
budget for 2002. The following is a summary of items discussed:
1. Snow removal equipment - Taufen reported the City was the successful bidder on the
snow plow truck offered by the City of Apple Valley. The bids were as follows: 1988
Plow Truck including attachments - $ 25,017 and the 1983 Plow Truck with attachments
u __.~_ - '$27 ,034. 'faufen repórtéd the trucks are in exceptional condition and will be an asset to
the City.
2. Capital equipment needed - Taufen reported the current loader is in need of repair or
replacement. The cost ofa new loader is estimated between $ 110,000 - $ 150,000. A
snow auger would increase the price approximately $ 100,000. After the purchase of the
two plow trucks, the remaining capital budget funds for equipment is approximately $
. 40,000. Weyrens presented the Council with information on using Equipment
Certificates to purchase needed equipment. The Council will review fmancing
alternatives at a later time.
3. Maintenance facility - The Council discussed the need to begin planning the maintenance
facility as the City is in dire need of storage space. With interest rates decreasing, it may
be the opportune time for the City to fmance a maintenance facility. The Council agreed
that a site needs to be selected before architectural drawings can be completed. The
Council will consider adding on to the existing facility and/or moving the Boy Scout
building to provide for future expansion.
4. Maintenance employee - Taufen requested the Council consider adding another
maintenance employee during 2002. Councilors stated that the next employee hired in
the Maintenance Department should posses a water license in preparation for future
staffmg needs.

lift station replacement, Land for future water tower and wells.

Housing Task Force. Finn is in the process of organizing a trip to Montgomery County Maryland where an

.
. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City Council for the City of St. Joseph met in special session on
Monday, September 25,2001 at 6:00 PM in the St. Joseph City Hall.
Members Present: Mayor Larry Hosch. Councilors Cory Ehlert, Bob Loso, Al Rassier, Kyle Schneider.
Administrator/Clerk Judy Weyrens.
) Others Present: Pete Jansky, Peggy Jansky
Mayor Hosch opened the meeting and stated the purpose of the meeting was to discuss items of mutual
concern with the Police Chief candidate Pete Jansky. Hosch stated that Jansky has received the proposed
employment terms and conditions for employment and requested to address the Council.
Pete Jansky stated that he was excited to have the opportunity to work for the City of 8t. Joseph, but
questions some of the language in the proposed employment agreement. The main item of concern is the
word "may" when it references potential salary increases. The section labeled "Introductory Period" stated
that he "may" receive a 5% increase at the end of the introductory period, as does the section entitled "Six
Month Review". Jansky stated it is his opinion that he is not assured he will receive an increase in salary.
Loso stated the City does not wish to be put into a situation that could create fmancial constraints in the
future. The City is limited with fmancial resources and must operate within the levy limits established by
the legislature. Also, any increase in salary should be a reflection of performance. Rassier stated that he
agrees with Loso and is sure that Jansky will be an asset to the community. However, fiscal responsibility
one of the roles of the City Council.
Hosch stated that he understands the uncertainty of using the word "may", but performance will dictate the
actual increase. Hosch further stated that he believes employees that are performing should be
. compensated. Jansky stated that he understands that the City needs to be cautious,but he needs a clear
understanding of what he can expect. He stated he is sure the Council will be satisfied with his
performance and he can accept the wording of the contract as long as the entire Council agrees that
meritorious increases are a possibility.
Jansky stated the other item of concern is the provision for training and conferences. As part of the
Employment Agreement, Jansky is requesting to be a member of the International Police Chiefs
Association and Minnesota Police Chiefs Association. Loso stated that the Council has limited fmancial
resources and it may not be possible to attend both conferences annually. Councilors also questioned the
location of the International Chiefs Conference. Jansky responded that the IPCA includes the United
States, Alaska and Canada. The Council agreed that any associations needs to be budgeted for, and
attendance at conferences would be considered annually by the Council.
The Council discussed the following concerns with Jansky:
· Community image of the St. Joseph Police Department
· Need to re-establish mutual aid agreements with the surrounding cities and Steams County
· Importance of community visibility
· Scheduling and the desire to have the Police Chief work some evenings and weekends
· Importance of planning/scheduling major events within the City
· The relationship between common sense and policing
· Staffmg issues
.
Loso made a motion authorizing the City Attorney to draft an Employment Agreement between the .
City and Peter Jansky outlining the terms agreed upon by both parties. The motion was seconded by
Hosch and passed unanimously.
Other Matters: Weyrens requested the Council establish interview dates for the positions of Finance
Officer and Receptioni~t/Secretary. Further, Weyrens reported that the City received 61 applications for
the receptionist position\and 20 for the fInance position. The Council was in agreement that Weyrens
would review the applicltions and submit the top candidates for interview. Weyrens will prepare a
grading mechanism fo¡-'scoring all applications received. The interview dates are as follows:

St. Joseph American Legion, Storage Rent: Jerry Frieler of the St. Joseph American Legion appeared
before the Council to request an increase in rent for the use of the former Stueve Garage. Frieler stated
that the Legion cannot cash flow the building under the current rate structure. He also indicated that it is
his opinion that the City created the hardship.
Frieler stated that the Legion purchased the Stueve Building for a possible addition to the existing facility.
Before the property was purchased, Frieler stated that Legion representatives met with City Officials to
review the proposed plan. Based on the information from that meeting, recognizing that adequate parking
would not be provided, the Legion purchased the Stueve Building. After the building was purchased the
Legion approached the City for a parking variance and was told the variance request was not realistic.
Therefore, the Legion has acquired a building that cannot be used for expansion.
Loso stated that he does not recall the City Council advising the Legion on purchasing the Stueve Building.
Frieler clarified that he, Norb Dardis, Former Mayor Hiemenz, Ehlert and Former EDA Director Chad
Carlson met in the old City Hall and discussed the proposed expansion. On numerous occasions Mr.
Carlson encouraged the Legion to move forward and assured Legion Members that a variance on the
parking requirements should not be a problem. Mr. Dardis stated that he too was present at the meeting and
the former Mayor along with Mr. Carlson indicated that the variance would be a formality. Loso clarified
· that individual members of the City Council or employees cannot make unilateral decisions.
Frieler stated that the Legion is requesting a $ 200.00 per month increase in rent. The rent currently being
charged the City is below market rate and needs to be increased. Frieler stated the Legion is looking at
recouping the monthly fmance cost of the acquisition. EWert stated that the City does have some .
responsibility if the Legion was provided bad information. Hosch stated that he agrees the proposed
remodeling/addition of the St. Joseph Legion would be a tremendous asset for the downtown. However,
the plans submitted to the City included seating for 300 and only 14 parking spaces. The variance may
have been granted if the Legion was close to the parking requirement.
Friel~r stated the Stueve building contains approximately 6,000 square feet, of which the City is renting
3,000. TI1e proposed rent would equate to .20 per square foot. The building is currently not heated and the
City pay( the electrical costs. Rassier questioned if the Legion is looking for the City to commit to a long
term agreement. Frieler stated that he is aware the City is looking at alternatives for building a
maint,enance facility.
Rassier made a motion authorizing the increased rent payment from $ 400 to $ 600 and to review the
rental agreement in six months. The motion was seconded by Hosch and passed unanimously.
Ehlert questioned Frieler as to the intent of the Legion with the existing Club. Frieler stated that the Club
will place both buildings on the market and look for land outside the City limits for a new facility. The
Club is looking to increase the facility to seat 300 for special events.
American Manufacturing - Preliminary TIF Application: Cynthia Smith-Strack of Municipal Development
Corporation appeared before the Council to request preliminary approval of a TIF application for American
Manufacturing. American Manufacturing is proposing to construct a 9,000 square foot manufacturing
facility on a 5 acre site. The company has added 6 jobs and anticipates addition employment with wages
ranging from $ 14 to $ 17 per hour.
American Manufacturing is requesting TIF assistance in order to help the project move forward. Without .
TIF the company has indicated they will either remodel the existing facility or seek sites in other
communities. The EDA Board has reviewed the preliminary application and determined the project is
consistent with the TIF policy and recommended American Manufacturing proceed with the submittal of
the fmal TIF application.
Ehlert questioned who monitors the agreements associated with the TIF documents and if a City has
latitude determining the length ofTIF. Further, EWert questioned if there is a pre-determined cap on the
amount ofTIF a municipality should issue. Smith-Strack responded that the EDA will monitor and enforce
TIF agreements to assure the conditions are met. The length of TIF assistance is capped at 9 years,
however, the City can determine each application on its own merit and vary the length of the TIF district.
Smith-Strack stated that it is her experience that if the TIF district does not extend for the full term, the
business may not come to ftuition.
As for the amount ofTIF assistance provided by a municipality, there is not a magic number as to the
maximum amount of assistance a City should provide. St. Joseph has adopted a pay-as-you-go TIF policy,
which provides for the least amount of risk to a City.
Loso made a motion approving the preliminary application of American Manufacturing, requesting
TIF Assistance and authorizing collection of the application and fee. Further Juran and Moody is
retained to prepare the required TIF Plan/Documents.
Bill Wasner. Historical Society: Bill Wasner appeared before the Council to request formation of the St.
Joseph Historical Society. Wasner stated that area residents have been meeting to look at establishing a
local historical society. In discussing the matter with the Stearns County Historical Society it was
discovered that there are funds available from the St. Joseph History Book sales that could be used by a
local historical group. Before the funds are accessed, the City must recognize and establish the local group.

American Manufacturing - Preliminary TIP Application: Cynthia Suùth-Strack of Municipal Development
Corporation appeared before the Council to request preliminary approval of a TIP application for American
Manufacturing. American Manufacturing is proposing to construct a 9,000 square foot manufacturing
facility on a 5 acre site. The company has added 6 jobs and anticipates addition employment with wages
ranging fÌom $ 14 to $ 17 per hour.

local historical group. Before the funds are accessed, the City must recognize and establish the local group.
.
Loso questioned if the City needs to remove any of the green area and if providing angle parking on the .
western edge of the parking lot would be sufficient. The cost for additional parking would only be the
paint for stripping. He further questioned if it is in the Cities best interest to provide a public parking lot at
the City facilities, as their may be a time when the City will need the entire parking lot.
Loso made a motion to stripe the western edge of the City property, that area parallel to the north
south alley, for angle parking. The area will be marked as public parking between the hours of 8:00
AM and 2:00 AM. Approval is contingent upon the final sale of the property located at 21 - 1 st
Avenue. The motion was seconded by Ehlert and passed unanimously.

Re: Computer Grant
The City received notice that we were awarded a COPS Technology Grant to be used for the purchase
of three mobile computers. The City is required to contribute 25% if the grant is accepted. The
rollover account in the Police Computer area has sufficient funds to cover the $ 6,800 contribution.
When Gary applied for the grant the Council reserved the right to accept the grant if we were
successful in receiving funds.
· In your packet is a price quote rrom Steams County. If the City purchases the three mobile
computers, the City will be required to pay a maintenance fee each year. Pete Jansky estimates the fee
to be approximately $ 2,000 for all three.
The Council at this time needs to authorize acceptance of the grant and approval to purchase the
computers.

Re: Comtrac
Enclosed in your packet is information presented to the Planning Commission and EDA. The EDA is
meeting on Wednesday, therefore, a second packet will have to be sent out. In discussing this matter
with John Scherer, consideration of this matter is as follows:
EDA - Enforces and governs the Covenants of the Business Park.
. City Council- Addresses the site plan and matters contained in the Ordinance Book.
Enclosed in your packet is the recommendation of the Planning Commission. The outstanding issues
area as follows:
I. Development in an area without improved Streets. The Ordinance requires
adequate ingress and egress.
2. Site Plan approval - Comtrac is requesting to construct the parking lot after the road
is constructed. Since the City will not construct the road until business develops
thereby paying for the road, it is uncertain as to when the road will be improved.
Joe Bettendorf can provide the developer with grading information so that the
parking lot can be constructed.

Re: Comtrac, Planning Commission Recommendations
The following is the recommendation of the St. Joseph Planning Commission with regard to the
Comtrac Development Site proposal:
The Planning Commission recommends approval with the following contingencies:
1. The property will be fenced and lath screening will be installed to limit visibility
of outside storage.
2. Driveway off Elm Street will include a concrete apron and the remaining
. driveway or portion will be asphalt. The City Engineer will determine the
portion of the driveway that will be asphalt. (It is the understanding of the
Planning Commission that a portion if not the entire driveway must be asphalt).
3. The parking lot will meet the standards established by the City Engineer
4. The Ordinance requiring adequate ingress/egress will be determined by the City
Engineer and City Attorney.
5. All property not fenced will be seeded/sodded and maintained in accordance with
the Ordinance.
6. The exterior of the building will meet all the requirements as determined by the
St. Joseph EDA.
7. The property owner is aware that 15th A venue will be improved and may be a
requirement for development.
8. Subject to any conditions/requirements of the St. Joseph Economic Development
Authority
9. Final site plan to be approved by the City Engineer, City Attorney and Fire Chief.
10. The lot split is approved contingent upon the ability to secure a building permit

The Planning Commission and Council have and will review the propoSed project as it relates to
the Zoning Ordinance for the L-I, Ught Industrial District. The following comments are for EDA
consideration and information:
· Warehousing is a permitted use provided it is within the structure (Section 52.23
Subd. 2, i).
· Proposed building setbacks and building height conform with zoning requirements.
. "< ";,,>,, ù,-.c"':Lu:.Section 52.23, Subd.8,c requires all, buildings to have exteriorfinishdesignand,·, ". ~. ~ >:,. "
materials approved by the Planning Commission prior to issuance of a building
permit.
· Section 56.4 of the Zoning Ordinance allows for the installation of non-rust material
chain link fences up to 8' in h~ght.
· Section 52.14 Subd. 5,b. of the Zoning Ordinance, requires, "Such parking lots shall
be constructed and maintained in a useable condition, with a hard surface consisting
. of concrete, bituminous, pavement or paver stone designed to drain and dispose of
surface water. Recycled bituminous or concrete shall be prohibited except as
permitted in an industrial area by special use permit or variance.b Subd. 5, d and e
state, "Necessary curbs or other protections against damages to adjoining properties,
streets and sidewalks shall be provided and maintained." and, "Plans for construction
of any such parking lot must be approved by the Planning Commission before
construction is started. No such land shall be used for parking until approved by the
Planning Commission", respectively. The site plan identifies proposed parking lot
construction/improvement as a part of "Phase II". The City Engineer is reviewing
parking lot improvements and the timing of the pavement as it relates to the
constructi~n of street improvements and relative elevations of the street and parking
area.
It is noted the EDA review of the covenants, conditions and restrictions for the St. Joseph
Business Park (a.k.a. Buettner Industrial Park) does not constitute a review of the requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance of the City of St. Joseph. The applicant has signed a purchase agreement
for a portion of Lot 1, Block 2 of the Buettner Business Park and, therefore, in accordance with
Section 54.10, Subd. 3 of the City Code the minor subdivision process should be duly followed if
the site plan, building material plan and landscape plans are approved.
EDA Action:
The EDA will take action on the approval, conditional approval or denial of the proposed Comtrac,

October 15, 2001 RE: St. Joseph, Minnesota
Indian Hills Plat
SEH No. A-STJOE 0202.00 14

Dear Judy:
We have been working on the Indian Hills plat now for several months, and the Developers are now
preparing their construction plans and specifications. Originally, my plan for the sanitary sewer to
this area had been to run the main along the embankment of the old railroad bed. The sewer is quite
shallow in this area, and the slope of the railroad embankment provided necessary cover for the
pipe. This alignment also allowed for jacking a casing for the sewer under Northland Drive. I
assumed the right-of-way was owned by Mn/DOT for trail purposes. The tracks have been
. removed. The water main is already in place just outside the railroad bed. The Developers contacted
MnlDOT for a permit to install the sewer and were told the right-of-way was still owned by the
railroad. They contacted the railroad and were told that getting a permit for the sewer installation
would take months, and that they would only be given a 10-year lease.
I had our railroad specialist contact the BNSF Railroad. The transfer of right-of-way from BNSF to
Mn/DOT is being handled by a private firm in Chicago. They indicated that a purchase agreement
was mailed to MnlDOT in early 2001, but no response has been received. I contacted the Mn/DOT
District right-of-way specialist and was told that Mn/DOT does not want to execute the agreement
until certain issues surrounding the existing leases have been settled. They have asked BNSF for
additional lease information, but have not received it.
It appears the Developers are caught between two immovable agencies. We have no idea when this
will be resolved. The Developers suggested rerouting the sanitary sewer north along their east
property line, and then west along the proposed cuI de sac and under Northland Drive. To do this,
they will need to open cut Northland Drive so the pipe can be insulated. Since the pipe is quite
shallow, insulation is essential if we are to prevent freezing problems. This is accomplished by
laying 4x8 sheets of insulation board across and approximately 1 foot above the pipe. I don't like
open cutting a new street, but feel there is no alternative if the development is to move forward. The
Contractor who constructed Northland Drive will be correcting some settlement problems that
developed from the original construction. We haven't had much trouble with this in the past, and
the settled areas showed up after the second winter, which is unusual. There was still warranty time
on the project when the settlements were noticed. As such, Northland Drive will have several other
. patches in addition to the open cut being proposed for Indian Hills. The damage will be primarily
cosmetic, with the patches visible until the road is eventually seal coated.

I discussed this with Dick Taufen, and he has agreed to allow the' open cut provided the patch is
properly installed with a concrete base. We propose to have the Developers install a temporary
bituminous patch this year, to be replaced with a permanent repair next spring. Please pass this
proposal on to the City Council for review and approval on October 18, 2001. They will want to
know the background because we are likely get some citizen complaints-cutting into a new street is
never very popular. Thanks.

RE: PART OF LOT 1 BLOCK 2 OF ROSKE ADDITION
Dear Judy;
Please find attached an option agreement on the described
land, a very preliminary sketch of what we will be proposing
to the city, and a picture of the last business mall that we
built in Long Prairie.
The offered price was arrived at after considering some of the
following: there is some unusable land on the East end of the
property because of the hill, I'm not asking for any
assistance (such as Tax Increment Financing), and our proposed
business plaza would be a great addition to the city of St.
Joseph.
Our buildings are not "Pole Sheds"! We construct a woodframe
building with brick and stucco. I think the buildings would
compliment the new bank and also the new building theme along
Highway 75.
Normally, we divide each 112 foot building into 4 individual
units, although each unit may vary in size, depending upon the
businesses requirements. There are other options on building
lengths, but this is the general idea!
Thank you for considering this project!
Sincerely;.

/ .J
"Chair Report: The accessible parking space in Northland is formed up and we are just

of what we had expected, so it was voted on and approved between meetings.

Memorial Park skating park hours 8:00 am - 9:00 pm and create a sign stating
these hours (Muske, Lesnick). Motion approved unanimously. Kyle will order
the sign. Marge will talk with Mike about the light timer.
New Business:
Motion to order 10 mixed hardwood trees and 4 spruce trees to plant in various
locations (Abbott, Lesnick). Motion approved. Next year we would like to
consider planting trees along the perimeter of Memorial Park.

parks before winter.
L Buettner's time on the Industrial Park has expired, so he has paid the $9000+
owed to the City.

plan a little ceremony to open it next week, and the Newsleader will cover the
story. Marge will invite the skateboarders with whom she has been working.
*Note: if we order smaller pieces in the future, we need to specify that the
pieces cannot be moved.
Other: Next year, we would like to try to organize a St. Joseph skateboard club
For Family Fun Day in the January, we should plan some events that would
draw the senior members of our community. Also, Jennifer will contact CSB
Recreation Sports director about planning some events that day.
The digger toy at Centennial Park is pinching kids - it needs to be fixed. Marge
will talk with Maintenance about that. Also, the spring toy at Klinefelter
