City of St. Joseph. Klein has previously worked for the City of Albany and Cold SprÎng. While working
part time for St. Joseph Klein will also work part time for Avon and Albany.
Ken Twit - Alcohol Matrix: Ken Twit stated that he would like to comment on the agenda item concerning
the Alcohol Matrix. He questioned why the Council is reviewing this matter tonight and public input will
be allowed during the discussion or if may comment at this time.
Twit stated it is his understanding that the issue is before the Council as a result of a recent violation and
there is question as to what constitutes an incident for purpose of imposing fmes. The Council agreed they
would allow input from the public during that agenda item.
Delinquent Utility Bill Hearing: Mayor Hosch opened the delinquent utility bill hearing at 7: 10 PM. No
one present wished to contest a utility bill, therefore the hearing was closed at 7: II PM.
St. Joseph Fire Relief Report: Steve Johnson appeared before the Council to present the annual Fire Relief
Report. The Fire Reliefis a pension program for the fIre fighters which is managed by the Fire Relief
Association. The past two years the City has contributed $ 3,000.00. Prior to that, the annual benefit per
fire fighter was increased to create a deficit requiring the City to contribute an amount based on the deficit.
The Relief Association is not requesting to increase the annual benefit at this time. The deficit at this time
is a result of the economy and lower investment rates. The Fire Board will be considering a contribution
for 2002 in the amount of $ 12,364.00.
Schneider stepped down from his chair.
. Alcohol Matrix: Recently one of the liquor license establishments had two patrons of minor age cited for
consuming alcohol. The City Office sent the license hold a bill for $ 300 for the violation as indicated on
the alcohol matrix, ($ 150 per incident).

Since that time the question has arisen as to what constitutes an incident; each individual or each night.
Ehlert stated that he views the violation as one incident, resulting in a $ 150.00 fme. Twit stated that if
each individual is not charged there is not incentive for the bartenders to continue carding patrons as they
have already been fmed. Ehlert concurred that potentially a bartender could make a decision that since the
fme will only be $ 150 they will risk the fme. Twit stated it is his understanding that the Police
Department writes a separate ICR for each ticket. Therefore, they view this a two incidents.
Loso stated that after reviewing the matrix he concurs with Twit, and that each individual cited is
considered an incident. Rassier stated that he attended some of the committee meetings when the matrix
was formed. When the Council reviewed the matrix, significant changes were made and that is what the
Council must enforce. Rassier stated the matrix should be enforced as follows: the fIrst individual cited
should be charged as the fIrst incident; a second individual cited on the same night would be a second
incident. Under this scenario the fme for the current violation would be $ 450.00.
Hosch stated that it is his opinion that each bar check should constitute one incident and not each individual
cited. Recently the Council considered a cigarette license violation where the owner provided all the
training and the employee made a bad choice to sell to a minor. If an employee in a liquor establishment
makes a bad choice and allows multiple minors in the bar, it could potentially shut down an establishment.
Ehlert made a motion to change the violation at Loso's Mainstreet Pub as one incident, billing the
license holder $ 150.00. The motion was seconded by Rassier.
Ayes: Hosch, Ehlert, Rassier
Nays: Loso Motion Carried 3:1:0
Ehlert stated the Council needs to clarify the defInition of an incident and stated it is his opinion that an ·
incident should coincide with bar checks. If the police checked the same bar two different times and each
time a minor was cited that would be treated as two incidents. If a bar check involves more than one
officer, the citations written in total would constitute one incident.
Loso stated that the license holder is responsible for the actions of the employees, and if minors are allowed
in the establishment he/she is responsible. Therefore, if an employee allows multiple minors in the
establishment the license holder should be fmed. Ehlert stated that he feels the Council still has discretion
and if multiple minors are cited the Council can act on the matter separately. Loso reminded the Council of
the purpose of the matrix, which was to establish a penalty system whereby a license holder need only
appear before the Council after multiple infractions.
Rassier concurred with Loso and suggested that language be included in the matrix system that only a gross
violation on the fIrst or seconded incident would be forwarded to the City Council for action. Ehlert stated
that he agrees with adding language for gross violations. Further, Ehlert stated that he believes the Council
needs to update Ordinances and policies as questions arise and sees this issues the same way. While he
does not agree to major changes in the matrix system, clarity on the defInition of an incident needs to be
added. Twit suggested that if one incident is considered a bar check, an incident should be limited to a
specific number of citations. While Ehlert concurred with Twit, he re-iterated that he does not want to
make significant changes to the matrix, but will consider this option if a problem arises.
The Council requested that Weyrens contact the City Attorney and prepare an addendum to the matrix
system defming an incident as a bar check and adding language for gross violations.
Schneider resumed his chair.

. City Engineer Reports
2001 Street Improvement- College Avenue North: Bettendorfpresented the Council with the feasibility
report for the proposed improvement of College A venue North between Minnesota Street and Ash Street.
Stearns County will be including the one block portion of College A venue with the County Road 121
project as College Avenue is a County State Aid Road. The project will consist of the following:
removing all the existing pavement and sidewalk, constructing a new street section, new concrete curb and
gutter, and new sidewalk. In addition to the street work, the project includes replacing the existing 6-inch
water main with a new 8-inch water main and replacing the existing water service lines.
Loso questioned the need to replace the water lines. Bettendorf responded the water main in College
A venue is old and has served its useful life. It is similar to purchasing a car, eventually it needs to be
replaced. Further, Bettendorf responded the property owners are assessed for 60 percent of the cost, the
same as the street policy. Ehlert stated that Council in the past has questioned how long the City can
continue to pay 40% of the improvements.
Ehlert questioned at what point the City needs to begin planning the street beautification of College Avenue
North. Bettendorf responded that the City needs to decide within the next 30 days if the beautification
project will be expanded. Ehlert stated that he would be willing to gather a task force to look at the project.
The task force will include Ehlert, Bettendorf, the St. Joseph Chamber and other interested service groups.
Annexation of Island Areas: Bettendorf reported that he has fInished reviewing Township properties that
are surrounded by the City and whether or not water and sewer services are available to those properties.
There are five areas involved and are detailed as follows:
. Area #1 - Property located on 95/h Avenue between Baker Street East and Dale Street. This area
can be served easily by extending the City's existing sanitary sewer and water main. The
assessments would be reasonable because most of the area has proposed annexed property on both
sides of the street.
Area #2 - Property located north ofCR 75 adjacent to ¡Sf Avenue NE and abutting the Northland
Addition. This area can be served easily by extending the City's existing sanitary sewer and water
main. However, assessments would probably be higher than normal because the majority of the
area only has proposed annexed property on one side of the street.
Area #3 - Property located on County Road 2 between Elm Street and the Railroad Tracks. The
area can be served by extending the City's existing sanitary sewer and water main. However, the
street assessment would be high due to the 9-ton roadway design. It is not recommended to try to
install utilities along the boulevard on either side of the road. There is not adequate space on the
west side of the street due to the wide street width and trees in the right-of-way. The east side of
the street would not be feasible either because the houses are on the west side of the road and the
utility services would need to be jackeci ordin:ctional bored across the street to the west side.
With the shallow sanitary sewer inverts, jackinglboring would not be an option. This area would
be served if the utilities were installed when the road is due to be reconstructed. Also, the
assessments would be high because the proposed annexed property is only on one side of the
street.
Area #4 - Property located north of CR 75 adjacent to ¡Sf A venue NWabutting the railroad tracks.
This area could physically be served by extending the City's existing sanitary sewer and water
main. However, it is not feasible from a cost standpoint, as the assessment would be extremely
high for only one property to pay because of the long distance to the existing sanitary sewer and
. water main. Another option for this property for utility access could come when the old Lyman
Hull property is developed and utilities are extended.
Area #5 - Property located north ofCR 75 and west ofCR 2 abutting the railroad tracks. This ·
property could be physically served by gravity but it would be expensive. The gravity line to the
north from the Treatment Plant could be installed with a larger diameter pipe when the area north
of the current city boundary, including St. Wendel, is developed. An alternative would be to
install a lift station for short term use if the cost could be borne by the development.
Weyrens clarified that this issue was raised at a Department Head meeting as when property is totally
surrounded, some City benefits occur without paying City taxes. One example is snow plowing. John
Scherer had proposed a policy where islands created through annexation would automatically be annexed
within a two year period. Bettendorf stated the best way to handle the island annexations at this time is to
annex them when adjacent improvements have been ordered; thereby reducing the assessment costs.
The proposed development behind Kennedy School is scheduled for utility construction in 2002. It would
be prudent to annex the property in Area #1 at the same time. Rassier made a motion to notify the
residents in Area #1 that they will be annexed to the City in 2002 and receive water and sewer
services when the adjacent property is developed. The motion was seconded by Schneider and
passed unanimously.
2002 Proposed Street Improvement: Bettendorf presented the Council with the feasibility report for the
proposed street improvement for 2002. The project will include reconstruction, overlay, and/or utility
replacement for the following streets and alleys:
Second A venue NW Minnesota Street W to CSAH 75
First A venue NW Minnesota Street W to CSAH 75
Second A venue NE Ash Street E to Alley north
Birch Street W. Second A venue NW to College A venue N
Ash Street W Second Avenue NW to College A venue N ·
Ash Street E College A venue N to Third Avenue NE
Alley Block 8 North and West legs
Alley Block 9 West leg
Alley Block 11 North and East legs
Alley Block 12 North, South, East and West Legs
Alley Block 13 North, South, East and West Legs
Alley Block 2; Loso's 5th Addu South, East and West Legs
Alley Block 3; Loso's 5th Addu East and West legs
Bettendorf stated that construction is scheduled for the summer of 2002. Special assessments are proposed
for street reconstruction, concrete curb and gutter, and underground utilities. The proposed roads are those
that were identified earlier this by the Council.
The project break down is as follows:
Street Reconstruction: $ 645,877
Street Overlay 68,145
Alley Reconstruction 21,252
Curb & Gutter 99,470
Stonn Sewer 155,232
Sanitary Sewer 280,175
Water Main 336,693
Total $ 1,761,953
The funding for the project is as follows:
Assessments $ 949,986
Enterprise Funds 362,625 ·
MSA Funds 394,271
Other City Funds 55,071
. Loso questioned why residential areas were being assessed for construction of a commercial street. He
further stated that in his opinion the assessments are not practical for most of the residents. Bettendorf
stated that there are many issues that need to be discussed before the project is ordered.
The Council discussed the proposed public improvement hearing scheduled for November 15. While the
notice has been published, individual property owners have not been notified. The hearing could be
canceled, giving the Council additional time to review the information. Hosch stated that it is his
understanding the purpose of the public hearing is to accept input. A decision can be made after the
hearing. Bettendorf stated that it is important for the Council to have a clear understanding of the scope of
the project before conducting the public hearing. The project can always be changed after the hearing.
Ehlert stated that while the project may seem aggressive, the bonding rates are at a market low and it may
be the best time to bond for the projects. Regardless of when the City orders the improvements, bonding
will be required. Currently the City may have the opportunity to bond at a low rate, keeping the annual
payments to a minimum. Ehlert questioned if the City bonds for the improvements, what is the time frame
for using the funds. If it is three years, the City could begin long range planning for the project.
Hosch stated that he would like the City to establish a plan for the improvements, broken down by year and
amount and then proceed. Loso stated the Council did complete that process, but the interior street
improvements were put on hold for other projects. Therefore, Loso stated the City needs to repair the roads
at this time.
The Council agreed to cancel the public hearing scheduled for November 15, 2001 and schedule a special
Council meeting for November 8, 2001 at 6:00 PM to discuss the proposed 2002 Street Improvement.
. Capital Improvement Plan: Hosch stated that he requested the item be placed on the agenda for continued
discussion and update. Bettendorf presented the Council with the Capital Improvement Plan. Items of
discussion included:
Sanitary Sewer Extension: The sewer line that extends past 151 Avenue NW will need to be
enlarged to handle additional growth along County Road 12I. The Council questioned whether or
not the developers could pay the additional cost as this improvement is needed for future
development. Bettendorf stated that some of the piping needs to be replaced as it is copper pipe
with many services lines. Each of the connections could be wearing the system. The pipes
currently in the ground are over 40 years old.
Lift Station: Bettendorf reported that he is working on acquiring the additional right-of-way that
is needed for the expansion of the Baker Street Lift Station. Bettendorf will also research the need
for purchasing a generator for this lift station and report back to the Council.
Sewer Capacity Study: Bettendorf reported that the study will be connected to providing services
u . to the St.Wendel area, . At this time there is no information to :report.
Park Expansion: The property the City was considering near Klinefelter Park has been purchased
and will be developed into housing units. Therefore, this item can be removed from the Capital
Improvement list.
Maintenance Facility and Wobegon Trail: Both these items are being worked on by sub
committees of the Council.
Recess: Hosch made a motion to recess for five minutes, seconded by Ehlert and passed
. unanimously.

Mayor Reports
School District Meeting: Hosch reported that he and Councilor EWert will be meeting with Dr. Lee of
District 742 to discuss the future growth of St. Joseph and the possibility of constructing a high school in
St. Joseph.
Councilor Reports
LOSO
Winter Parking Restrictions: Loso requested that the Council discuss the winter parking restrictions at the
next Council meeting. It is his opinion that our policy is outdated and needs to be changed. He suggested
that different parts of town could have different restrictions. For example, the downtown area could be
posted with no parking over night and the residential areas could be posted with no parking only if two or
more inches of snow is received. Schneider requested that the Council also consider posting the
downtown area with two hour parking limitations. The Council agreed to discuss the winter parking
restrictions at the next meeting focusing on the time limits and the fmes imposed for parking during the
prohibited time.
RASSIER
No report
EHLERT
Maintenance Facility: EWert stated that he contacted three contractors regarding the proposed maintenance .
facility and whether or not it could be constructed this year. Due to the heavy equipment that would be
stored in the building, the concrete would have to cure completely, needing a minimum outdoor
temperature of 50 degrees. Therefore, EWert stated that he and Loso will meet with the Public Works
Director over the winter months to design the Maintenance Facility and bring the information back to the
Council.
Indian Hills Plat: EWert questioned the status of the Indian Hills Developer's Agreement and the provision
contained within for the construction of an east / west corridor. Weyrens reported that the Developer's
Agreement has been executed and the City has one year to exercise an option to construct and east/west
corridor and an additional year to build the road. Further, the Agreement states that the property owner will
not bear the cost of the road unless the road is used for the development. Therefore, if the road is
constructed, the cost will most likely be born by the City.
Wobegon Trail: Ehlert reported that he, Councilor EWert and Chamber President Tom Skahen appeared
before the State Senate Bonding Committee requesting funding assistance for a welcoming center. The
WobegonCommittee has requested a $ 125,000 matching grant. The project is ranked in the top of the
bonding bill. The Wobegon Committee has recently meet with a developer looking to secure property for
the center. After considerable discussion, it was determined the best location for the welcoming center is
on the property owned by the City near the Water Tower. The Committee will be forwarding infonnation
to the City Council regarding the proposed center.
Weyrens stated that she has been contacted by the Steams County Park Department who is in the process of
writing the matching grant. If the City wishes to proceed further, a resolution must be passed by the City
Council assuring the State that if awarded the grant, the City would match the funds. Schneider stated that
the funds can be raised privately and the City has already received a commitment of $ 1000 per month
from the Jaycees. .
-- Loso made a motion supporting the Wobegon Welcoming Center and pledging to match any funds
awarded by the acquisition of land and construction of the Wobegon Trail Welcoming Center. The
motion was seconded by Ehlert and passed unanimously.
SCHNEIDER
Historical Society: The St. Joseph Historical Society recently met and established by-laws for their society.
The information will be forwarded to the City Council. The Historical Society will always meet on the 4th
Wednesday of each month.
Park Board: The Park Board will be meet on November 19 and plans to present the public with the Park
Board accomplishments for the year 200 I.
Administrator / Clerk Reports
COpy Machine: Weyrens reported the copy machine in the City Offices is failing and needs to be replaced.
Money has been budgeted for the past four years for replacement and more information will be presented at
the next Council meeting.
Surplus Car: Weyrens questioned the status of the surplus squad car that was recently advertised for public
sale. Loso stated that he had the opportunity to review the car and feels that car is in good shape and can be
used by the City. Ehlert stated that the City has invested considerable resources in the car and it should be
utilized by the departments of the City. Hosch and Schneider questioned the need to keep the car and how
much money will need to be invested in the car to keep it operational. Rassier stated that car in question
. could be used to keep the mileage down on the new squad cars. For example, if an officer needs to run to
the courthouse, the old car could be used. Ehlert stated that the vehicle may also be of use to the
maintenance department. Therefore, the Council requested Weyrens to send a memo to all departments
requesting that they make use of the 94 Ford when running errands or going to St. Cloud. Hosch and
Schneider stated that if the City is to continue using the vehicle the decals need to be removed. The
Council agreed by consensus.
Assessment Policy: Weyrens reported that she has been approached by the developer purchasing a portion
of the Indian Hills Plat and requested to roll forward the assessments. In the past the City has required that
all assessments are paid upon property transfer. Ehlert stated that the requirement to pay the assessments in
full when developing a lot could be a detriment for commercial or industrial development. He encouraged
the City to establish a policy similar to the TIF report card that would allow the assessments to be rolled
forward if that is the breaking point between doing the project or not. Weyrens will research this matter
and bring a proposal back to the Council for review consideration.
Ehlert made a motion to continue the past practice and policy of the City to collect assessments at the
time of property transfer until a time when the Council reviews alternatives. The motion was
seconded by Rassier and passed unanimously.
Adiourn: Loso made a motion to adjourn at 10:00 PM; seconded by Schneider and passed
unanimously.

Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council
Enclosed find Change Order No. I for this project.
· Enclosed is a letter from Larson. Excavating Contractors, Inc., requesting a time extension for
completing the work on Northland Plat 5, along with proposed Change Order No.1. The Contractor
has worked diligently to stay on schedule and has done a superior job on the project to date. The first
layer of blacktop is in place and the Developer has been authorized to pull building permits. Lift
station panels always take a long time to manufacture, and the proposed schedule change provides
for the lift station being operational before houses need to be hooked up. I recommend Change Order
No.1 be approved.
If you authorize this change, we will send it to the contractor for signature, and then return it to
you for signature.
Sincerely,

RE: Northland Plat Five, St. Joseph
Dear Joseph,
This letter is a request for a time extension for the Nort!ùand Plat Five, St. Joseph project. Due to many circumstances beyond our
control, we hope that you \'vill extend the date for substantial completion on this project to the 30th of November, 200 I.
-
We have encountered delays from the start of the project, \'vith the notice to proceed not being issued until July 30th, and the
placement of the lift station still not definite at that time. [believe the developer was considering the most cost effective placement
along with long term electrical costs, and who was to supply the power for the lift station. As this was the case, we could not
proceed to order the concrete lift station structural drawings until placement was determined. After placement was determined and
shop drawings approved the structure still had to be built, sealed and delivered. We could not proceed with the layirig of the sanitary
sewer main until the lift station was placed. We feel all these items created an approximate 2 week delay in progress.
We also encountered a major delay because of defective materials supplied to tills project. A defective hydrant and .
to" watermain pipe took four days with two crews to locate and replace, costing us also four days of forward progress. Along with
that there were no plans for conduit crossings for undergrOlmd utilities across roadways. Larson Excavating along with Mueller
pipelines and all utilities involved worked very diligently to coordinate the location, staking, and installation of these crossings. This
work was not part of the contract and took approximately three days to coordinate and a day to install.
Rain has prevented us from working for approximately 10 days to date. We had hoped to have sidewalk, base and base course
bituminous in place by lO/19/0 I but wet weather conditions for the.past week have prevented that from happening. We are
diligently working to keep forward progress continuing. At this time we hope that by Friday October 26, the curb will be poured,
backfilled and ready for bituminous surfacing ?nd underground utilities.
We have had delays regarding the approval of submitted šhop dra\\ings for the lift station, access hatch and control panel. To date
all submittals have been approved. The latest being the Control Panel wruch was submitted on September 11th, and not reviewed
and returned approved until October 5th. At that time the Control Panel \vas ordered with expected delivery in six to eight weeks,
wruch puts delivery at approximately November 16th at the earliest. We are requesting a substantial completion of November 30th
based on delivery of the control panel around November 16th, and an allowance for placement and electrical work
We hope that you will take all these delays into consideration and grant us and ex:tension. We hope that this project wi\! be ready for
its intended use by October 31st according to our contracted items, with the exception of the lift station. We have worked hard to
keep this project on schedule, and hope that you have been satisfied \\ith our work and progress to date despite these delays. We
know that the developer is eager to begin construction in Northland Plat Five, and we are working our hardest to make that happen
as soon as possible

From: Judý ~yrens
Re: Table(V~Æatters from the October Planning Commission Meeting
I
í
At the last planning Commission meeting the ~rocess for rezoning was questioned. The section referred to
was 52.10 (page 114). John Scherer agreed that the language is not clear and should be clarified. The
Ordinance as currently allows for re-zoning as follows:
I. The Planning Commission initiating a change, which can be done by one of two ways:
a. The Planning Commission can review the zoning map and conduct a public hearing
to revise such; or
b. A petitioner may approach the Planning Commission and request the Planning
Commission to conduct a public hearing. The Planning Commission approving the
request for a public hearing would be considered the same as initiating a change.
Therefore, if Lance Honer or Mike Deutz would have received approval to conduct a
public hearing from the Planning Commission prior to setting a hearing, the intent of
the Ordinance would have been met.
. 2. A property owner may solicit signatures of 50% or more of the property owners within 350 feet of
the proposed zoning change.
How to move forward:
In discussing the matter with John Scherer, the Planning Commission has the following options:
1. The Planning Commission could motion to recommend that the property owner move
forward with the re-zoning request, thereby causing the proposed change to be initiated
by the Planning Commission. A second motion would be needed to recommend approval
or denial of the proposed change.
2. The Planning Commission could deny the request.
3. Since the hearing was tabled, not closed, the property owners could still bring in a
petition of surrounding property owners within 350 feet: IfMr. Honer or Mr. Deutz
could aécomplish this, the Ordinance requirements would be fulfilled.
Regardless of what is decided on the two matters before the Commission, the Ordinance needs to be
reviewed and clarified. John sent the following email:
State law does not have a requirement that 50% of those with 350' join in ~
the petition, or anything like that except for cities of first class. I R~~
suggesst that it be looked at and the City consider an amendment simply
. re;uiring the pet ion be signed by the owners of 3/4 of the parcels and
750 of the total area effected. See what the PC and council want to do.

hearing held on October 1,2001 and tabled until November 5, 2001. The purpose of the hearing is to
considerre-zoning a parcel of property currently_zoned Agricultural to R3, Multiple Family. The Zoning
change is requested to allow the property owner to develop the property with multiple family units.
The property is legally described as follows:
That part of the Northwest Quarter ofthe Northwest Quarter of Section 10 in Township 124 North, of
Range 29, less the Northerly 26 rods thereof, and less that part thereof lying Southerly of the Great
Northern Railway right-of-way, and less that part platted as Lot 12 of Auditor's Subdivision No.4, an
Addition to the City of St. Joseph, and less railroad right-of-way, and subject to highway easement and
other easements and restrictions of record. Containing 11.84 acres, more or less.
The request for rezoning has been submitted by Honer Partnership Inc., 21 - 2151 A venue North, Waite
ParkMN 56387.
In consideration of the infonnation presented to the Planning Commission and its application to the
Comprehensive Plan and Ordinances of the City ofSt. Joseph, the Planning Commission makes the
following findings:
. The above mentioned property has recently been annexed to the City of St. Joseph and is
undeveloped on the north and west and developed to the south with single family homes and
manufactured homes. Therefore the proposed development will not conflict with the adjoining
properties.
Therefore, based on the above findings, the Planning Commission makes the following recommendation:
Approval of the Rezoning of the above described property from Agricultural to R3, Multiple Family to
allow for the construction of multiple family dwelling units with the following contingencies:
1. The zoning will only become effective after a plat has been finalized and approved by the
St. Joseph City Council.
2. If the property is not platted within one year from the date of City Council approval of
the rezoning, the zoning change will not become effective.

Resolution of finding
The request of Mike Deutz for a rezoning request came before the Planning Commission at a public
hearing held on October 1,2001 and tabled until November 5, 2001. The purpose of the hearing is to
consider re-zoning a parcel of property currently zoned R-1, Single Family to Highway Business, The
Zoning change is requested to allow the property owner to sell or develop the property as commercial.
The property is legally described as:
Lot 009; Block 002 - Lots 9 & 10 Less E lOT Block 2 Townsite ofSt. Joseph
and
Lot 004 Block 013; Townsite ofSt. Joseph
The request for rezoning has been submitted by Mike Deutz; PO Box 634; St. Joseph MN 56374.
In consideration of the information presented to the Planning Commission and its application to the
Comprehensive Plan and Ordinances of the City ofSt. Joseph, the Planning Commission makes the
following fmdings:
The above mentioned property is located adjacent to County Road 75 and is developed
commercially across the road and to the west. When the Planning Commission considered the
. request earlier this year to change all property abutting CR 75 to Highway Business, it was
determined to leave the property as R1 and look at transitional zoning. The Planning
Commission further stated they would consider each request for rezoning on an individual basis.
Therefore, based on the above findings, the Planning Commission makes the following recommendation:
Approval of the Rezoning of the above described property from R1, Single Family to B2 Highway
Business.:

Re: Pre-Application PURD Meeting/44 Unit Multifamily Development
Dear Members and Councillors:
I have executed a purchase agreement with DM Building Corp. for the purchase of Lots
1 and 2, Block, Indian Hills Park (the 7 acres on the west side of Northland Drive). I expect
to close on the purchase by the end of the month and begin site grading. I intend to begin
construction sometime this winter or next spring on a 44 unit apartment building on Lot 1 (the R-3
. Parcel). I am submitting a tentative grading plan showing the proposed location of the building
and floor plans and elevations of the proposed building. I do not have a site plan as of yet but
I will have one completed before the formal PURD application and hearing. The grading plan
should give you an idea how the building will fit on the site.
This exact building is currently under construction on East St. Germain St. just east of
McDonalds and Highway 10 in St. Cloud. I purchased the rights to construct this building
because it so fits perfectly on the site and is a very attractive and sharp design. While I might
reduce the number of one bedrooms units in favor of more 2 bedroom units, the current plan calls
for 17 (1 bedroom units), 24 (2 bedroom units), and 3 (3 bedroom units). I am also enclosing
the St. Cloud site plan for your review but it will likely differ because the lots, although similar
(approximately 250'x370'), are not identical in shape or topography. The building will target
the mid to upper end apartment market, and hopefully some seniors as well. This is not a
student housing development.
I look forward to your support as we proceed with this development. If you have any
additional questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Very Truly Yours,
SUMMIT MANAGEMENT, INC.

Overview
Flexible Spending Account Plans, also called FSA Plans or Section 125 Plans, allow
employees to convert otherwise taxable income into tax-:IÌ'ee health care and dependent care
benefits. This results in tax savings for employers, too.
Employees can increase their take-home pay and employers can reduce payroll taxes. It's a
win-win opportunity.
Employees choose to contribute a portion of each paycheck to their Flexible Spending
Account. As eligible expenses are incurred, employees are reimbursed with funds :lÌ'om their
Flexible Spending Accounts. Reimbursements can be at the point of sale through the use of a
debit card linked to the employee's flexible spending account or after the fact through the
submission of claims supported with receipts. Employees are, in essence, reimbursing
themselves for eligible medical and dependent care expenses with nontaxable dollars.

Optional Service
Stanton Group Flex COllvellience® card
The Stanton Group Flex Convenience® card is a debit card that simplifies and enhances the
health care purchasing power of individuals holding funds in Flexible Spending Accounts. It
may be used to access both Health Care and Dependent Care Account funds. The Flex
Convenience® card significantly reduces the time, cost and administrative burdens on
employees, employers and plan administrators.
How the Flex Convenience® card works
Without a Flex Convenience® card, employees set aside pretax income ITom their paychecks
in an FSA account. They must then use after-tax money for medical expenditures and mail
necessary claim forms and receipts for reimbursement ITom the FSA account.
The Stanton Group Flex Convenience® card streamlines the claims process by allowing
employees immediate access to their FSA account, much like a debit card allows one to access
a bank account. Our system screens all transactions by eligibility ofthe merchant, cardholder, .
and account fund balances. The system authorizes transactions that meet all criteria and then
allows our service representatives to review the purchases using our on-line real time system.
Cardholders eliminate the hassles of claim submission and waiting for a check. The card
reduces paper claim forms, check writing and time for reimbursement. (plan sponsors
utilizing the Flex Convenience® card are required to pre-fund the account.)
Advantages of using the Flex Convenience® card
The Flex Convenience® card has been found to be extremely popular by the employers who
provide this option, When you consider the four primary barriers to participation:
confidentiality of claims information, expenses generally paid before recovery even though
amounts are already payroll deducted, claims submission hassles, and the delay in receiving
recoveries, you can understand the popularity of the Flex Convenience® card. Because many
of these barriers are effectively eliminated, statistics show that overall participation levels in
FSA plans increase significantly, sometimes as much as doubling in enrollment.
The Flex Convenience@ card is a registered trademark ofmbi.

Efficient Administration
Stanton Group's state-of-the-art FSA administration system is carefully designed with the
following criteria in mind:
· EFFICIENCY - Our system assures the integrity of the data provided for plan
administration - both by the employer and by the employee. The system facilitates
prompt and accurate processing of all financial and employee claims data and provides
output ofthe data that is easily understood by plan sponsors and plan participants
alike.
· PROFICIENCY - The employer is kept up to date on legislative developments, plan
requirements, discrimination testing, and government form filing.
· CONFIDENTIALITY - Our system ensures 100% confidentiality in claims
processing. Often, employers do not wish to be the claims examiner who reviews
private employee medical claims. As an independent third-party administrator, Stanton
Group can help avoid potential employee relations issues and the resulting decrease in
participation.
· CONVENIENCE - Participants receIve account statements each time a
. reimbursement is made. In addition, participants may access their personal benefit
information at any time through our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone
system or at our Web site over the Internet. Direct deposit of participant
reimbursements eliminates extra trips to the bank. Participants can also elect to be
notified by email every time Stanton Group receives or pays their claim.
· FUNDING - The employer withholds and retains funds trom participant paychecks. A
cash deposit is maintained with Stanton Group to provide immediate funding for debit
card transactions and to cover disbursements of manual claim reimbursements. Each
day Stanton Group summarizes and totals the debit card transactions and the
disbursements for manual claims, at which time the deposit account is replenished.
The required amount in the deposit account is contingent on the replenishment option
elected by City of St. Joseph. Two months ofFSA contributions ITom employee's
payroll is maintained if replenishment is through check or wire transfers. If you prefer
to have the deposit account replenished by auto debit, the deposit account can be
maintained at an amount equal to FSA contributions from a single payroll. We
encourage the latter method.

Dear Dick:
I reviewed the letter submitted by the Department of Health dated October 22, 2001. They are
recommending continuous chlorination of the city water as soon as possible. As we have discussed
in the past, the equipment to do this was provided when the plant was upgraded a few years ago. As
I recall, shortly after we turned on the chlorination equipment, complaints came rolling in because
. of the material that broke loose from the old pipes, and the resulting discoloration of the water.
Some residents were more than a little upset. This is typical when you begin to chlorinate a system
that did not have iron removal from the beginning. The discoloration and shedding of material from
the old pipe walls can take one or two years to clear up.
Though there is some risk that contamination could re-occur, I think the negative impact of adding
chlorine now outweighs the risk of recontamination. Since we are in the process of a 3 to 5-year
capital improvement program including replacement of most of the old water main in ·town, I
recommend we wait until this work is complete, and then follow with continuous chlorination. If
you agree, we should probably run this by the City Council, and then let the Health Department
know what the plan is. Give me a call if you want to discuss this further.
Sincerely,
~~

Dear Council Members:
The purpose of this letter is to provide follow-up recommendation to accompany St. Joseph's
most recent sanitary survey of its water supply system, conducted on September 19, 2001. While
St. Joseph's management of its drinking water has been excellent over the last decade, the City's
rapid gro\Vth and ongoing installation of new watermain and service connections to new
businesses and residences make it much more vulnerable to coliform contamination than in the
past. St. Joseph currently does not carry a disinfection residual in its distribution system. A
disinfection residual is often referred to as a water system's 'last line of defense' against
bacteriological contamination. The City should consider pro-actively installing continuous
chlorination. Installing chlorination prior to the distribution system would greatly reduce the .
possibility of future coliform violations and the subsequent public drinking water advisories
which follow such an incident.
I have attached a fact sheet regarding coliform bacteria. If you have any questions in this regard,
please feel free to contact me at 320/650-1073
Respectfully yours,
~
Jon Groethe, P.E.
District Engineer
