Scherer stated that the details of the permit system should be listed in the! ordinance itself. Will stated that the simple word change was asked for by the Council so tha~ if they didn't want to do the permit system they didn't have to. Twit made a motion to table this to a future meeting when the details of the permit system can be included in the ordinance Ehlert seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 6.

Once the water is tested again and the bacteria is not detected we will notify the residents by cable and by the newspaper. At one time the City chlorinated the water but 2.5 years ago, the City Council decided toremove it. Taufen added that the State may now require us to put it back on. i Weyrens presented tre treasurer's report to the City Council. She stated that the Council should add all of the 300 and 400 funds to get a true picture of the situation. Weyrens added that fund 501 the Tru~k utility extension is not a designated account. Weyrens also stated that the Council would have to deGide where to designate the funds from the Baker street Improvements, but t~at this could wait until the next meeting. Loso asked Weyrens to put a few scenarios togeth~r that they could address at the next meeting. Ehlert made a motion to accept the treasurer's report, seconded by Loso. The motion passed unanimously. Weyrens reminded the Council that the Truth in Taxation meeting is Monday, December 11th at 7:00 PM. : I Chief Will addressedlthe Council. He distributed the November police report for their review. He also gave the Council a copy of the matrix that the alcohol compliance committee came up with and asked that it be addressed at the next meeting. Will also reported to the Council that he received a bid from Granite City electronics to install the antennas and radios at the new City hall. The bid is $2,167.66. The Council expressed some concern over the cost of . this bid and asked Will to get another quote or at least an explanation of this one. They asked that Will bring ;what information he had to the meeting on Monday night. Will agreed. i 11 Linda Sniezek Rental Issue - Attorney Frank Kundrat addressed the Council. He stated thathe is the attorney for Ms. Sniezek. As the Council knows, Mrs. Viehauser is in Arlington Place. The family is ,in a difficult place regarding the selling of the house. Sniezek came before the Council in: the spring and received her special permit to rent the house. Everyone agreed at that time tþat it was better to have someone in the house rather than it remain empty. The family tHat Sniezek is renting it to is well liked by the neighborhood. Kundrat passed out a petitio~ signed by the neighborhood. The petition, states at the top that"We, the undersigned, feel that the family who is currently renting Rose Viehauser's house, at212 East Ash Street, of St. Joseph should be able to continue to do so." Kundrat also explained that the woman living in the house, Cari Habiger, is in an at risk pregnancy situation. Kundrat passed out a letter from Dr. Gary Baker stating "Cari Habiger is a high risk pregnancy patient of mine, presently atl28 weeks gestation. Because of problems related to pregnancy, she is required to be at home on bed rest. Any deviation from this may increase her chances of pre term birth.", KundraÚtated that what they are seeking is an extension of the special permit, duringwhich time, Shiezek will be applying for a variance. Kundrat added that he . understands the int~nt and integrity of the ordinance but feels that this is a speGial circumstance that warrants special consideration. Ehlert asked Scherer if there are any special dead of winter laws that would prevent the Counciltrom taking action on this. Scherer stated that they would not apply. However, he would advise the Council to grant a temporary extension to a time period after the child is born. Kundrat stated that they are not looking to drag this qut. Theywould also like to have some closure on this issue. Scherer stated that it'scleaqhat the property could be sold. However, there are reasons that the family does not want to sell, I I . Loso stated that his main issue with this situation is that he feels it was misrepresented to the CounGiI from the beginning. Kundrat said he understands and it certainly wasn't Sniezek's 5 , . , intention to mislead the Council. She felt like her hands were tiedl It was merely a matter of I misunderstanding. Twit stated that he doesn't feel that there wa~ ever any sort of misunderstanding. If Sniezek had been up front in the beginning,! they would not be . addressing this now as the special permit would not have been granted in the first place. Sniezek agreed to come back in six months and report on the sit~ation. She also agreed to abide by any of the zoning changes that were made. Sniezek addressed the Council. She stated that she never meant to mislead the Council. I Her previous attorney, John Reep, told them that they could not ~ell the house. When an attorney tells you that you can't do something, she took him at that word. Sniezek also added that she never imagined that the change to the ordinance would be that she or a family member would actually have to live there. She stated that the purpose of the ordinance is to keep the neighborhood family friendly and that is what this family ¡is doing. This has been very difficult on their entire family. i Hiemenz suggested that the Council could extend the special permit for the duration of the pregnancy and let them go through the variance process. Cari Habiger's mother addressed the Council stating that her daughter is in at risk pregnancy situation and she does not want another handicapped grandchild. Cari does not know about the situation and it could cause her to go into labor if she finds out. The Council cannot kick themlout the minute the baby is born. Hiemenz retorted that that isn't what he said. ! Scherer suggested that the Council extend it for a period of time $fter the birth and let them go through the variance process. He added though, that generally a use not permitted in a zone is not the case for a variance. That does not need to be addressed tonight though. Kundrat replied that there is room in the law to look at this situation as a case for a variance and that they would merely like the opportunity to go through the process. Niedenfuer stated that she would be in favor of extending the special permit till May land have the family revisit the issue at that time. Twit made a motion to extend the permit uhtil May 26, 2001 (90 days . past the due date, seconded by Loso. The motion passed unanini0usly. Twit stated that the Council will not want to be re addressing these issues in May and! that he is only considering this because of the special medical situation involved here. Loso ¡added that the family should get their thoughts together on this and come to some sort þf a resolution. 12. Pete and Lisa Walz - Variance request - Lisa Walz addressed the Council. They are requesting a variance to exceed the maximum square footage lot !coverage requirement. I They are requesting a 54 square foot variance. They are also requesting an additional access onto their property from Minnesota Street. The current access is on First Avenue which they would keep. Stearns County denied their request, butlthe City could override their request. The Planning Commission recommended denial becaus!e they couldn't prove hardship. Secondly, the Planning Commission recommended de8ial of the second access because of safety and aesthetic concerns and the fact that they have a fully functional access on 1 st Avenue. Twit stated that he agrees with the Planning Comtnission on only having one I access. Walz added that there are currently five addresses on the street already that have two accesses. Hiemenz responded that this is why the ordinancel is now in place. Twit made a motion to accept the recommendations of the Planning Commis~ion and deny the variance requests. Niedenfuer seconded the motion and it passed 4:1. (Ehlert voting no). Ehlert stated that the Planning Commission was not unanimous on this decisioQ either. , 13. Pondview Ridge Final Plat - Bob Hergesaddressed the Council. He stated that the Planning Commission met and made a motion to approve the fina:1 plat that included the three lots at Minnesota Street and 1 ih with all the lots facing 1 ih. The~ also included a condition thatthe three lots have their driveways adjacent to the south prop~rty line, thus providing as much room as possible before approaching the intersection of Minnesota and 1 ih street. Loso stated that his preference is still option B with two of the lots facing 1 ih and one facing Minnesota Street. Herges stated that his preference is A becaus~ they can avoid the . 6 , .. . i . easement issue with the City services. Loso suggested that the corner lot have their driveway face Minne~ota street but that it be placed as far .westas possible on the lot. Twit added that they just disallowed an entrance onto Minnesota streetand now they are talking about granting one. Loso clarified stating that there is already a driveway onto Minnesota Street. They would ~erelY be moving it. Herges also informed the Counci.1 that they are still getting their Stearns County Wetland permits. They are breaking the area down into two phases and the wetlands will be addressed in the seèêmd phase. Twit expressed some concern thatwe are creating two more dead ends in thie sewer system with the layout of the system on the plat. Herges said they would use hydr~nts stubbed out at the end just like in every development. Ehlert made a motion to approve the final plat with all. three lots facing 1 ih with the corner lot driveway facing Minnesota Street as far west as possible, seconded by Loso.. The motion passed unanimously . i 14. GL T Change Orders - Lindberg reported that there are two issues that have been brought forth from GLT. First', they provided the City with a quote tovarnish the existing wood and door frames to match the newer wood in the building. This would cost $636. Lindberg stated that this is an item th~Ü does not need to be done now and could be done at a later date if there is a visible diffèrence in the wood., The second item is something the Council should approve. The drop box in the drive through ended up being one enormous piece. . They were unable to leave the n;¡etal plates over the hole in the wall. The hole needs to be patched and can be done with. the! salvaged granite veneer for $327. Twit made a motion to approve the change order patching the hole, seconded by Niedenfuer. The motion passed unanimously I 15 Approve Minutes- Niedenfuer made a motion to approve the minutes of November 16, 2000, seconded byL;oso.. The motion passed unanimously. Loso made a motion to approve . the minutes of Noverrber 20, seconded by Niedenfuer. The motion passed unanimously (Ehlert abstaining). I,oso made a motion to approve the minutes of November 27, seconded by Niedenfuer. Hiemenz asked that the word "personnel" be added before the word "management" onthe second page. Loso amended his motion to include the changè. Niedenfuer seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 16 Miscellaneous and ¡Announcement Items - Letter fronlAnn Scherer -Lindberg stated that the City received a request from Ann Scherer that they be givenspacein the old City hall facilityfor the community food shelf. The Council agreed that this sounded like a great use for the facility and would like to hear more. They asked that a representative from the food shelfcome to a Cou~cil meeting to give them more details. 1 . Reports - Mayor Hiemenz reported that the Council fe<;eiveda list of 2000 Sales Ratios in their packet. The colpy they received did not have the amended number for rentals. The number 19.69% should,be changed to 13-14% for the City ofSt. Joseph. Hiemenz reported that they held the la~t St. Cloud Area Planning Meeting today. There are a few items left to be addressed, one of which is the signing of the joint powers agreement before January 1 st. Hiemenzalso stated that he needs to make an appointmentto the Affordable Housing task force. Hiemenz alsq attended a transportation alliance meeting on the area circumfral roads and a 20-30-50 year plan. Niedenfuer had no report. Loso had no report. Ehlert .stated that he had received a number of calls regarding the Linda SniezeklRose Viehauser issue. Individualsthat were taking the survey around apparently cast the Council in a very negative I light. They also stat~d thatthe Council showed no sensitivitywhen it was discussed at the last meeting. Twitstated that he vyouldlike to discuss the letter that was in the packet regarding the Council raise. Twit stated that Scherer is saying that the Attorney General's office addressed . this issue and itapp~ars it was done incorrectly. Ehlert stated that the word "may" suggests that this is only one of many. possible ways that a Çity Council could vote for a raise. ! 7 , ~ " .' " Niedenfuer stated that her only objection was the timing of the is$ue. She felt that it should have been raised early on in the budget process and not done at ¡the last minute. Ehlert stated that he was never for getting the complete ~aise and was Rlanning on waiving a portion . of it anyway. Hiemenz stated that Scherer's letter suggests that the Council may be subjecting itself to legal action if they allow the vote to stand. Ehl~rt stated that raise is hardly I enough for the time and dedication that the Council and the other boards and commissions give to the City. There was only one letter about it in the paper. There are a lot of other people out there supporting it. He argued that no-one is going to :challenge this decision by the Council besides Steve Dehler. Once he becomes preoccupied by the issues in St. Cloud, I he will quit worrying about what the City is doing. Loso made a m,otion to rescind the pay raise of October 19th, 2000 seconded by Twit. Twit added that h~ knows that these positions take a lot of time and dedication but the City attorney is questioning the process. Therefore, he can't support it. Hiemenz called the question and the motion p'assed 3:2 (Hiemenz, Twit and Niedenfuer - yes, Loso, Ehlert-No). I I I Lindberg stated that as Taufen wasn't able to make it to the meeting and in light of the late hour, they could table the Minnesota Street and Industrial Park s~rvices issue till a future meeting. I i 18. Adjourn - Ehlert made a motion to adjourn at10:20, seconded by Loso. The motion passed unanimously. Respectfully Submitted, Cari Lindberg ClerklAdministrator City of St. Joseph . 8 .

Ot I ers Present: Larry HdsCh, Ellen Wahlstrom, Kyle Schneider, AI Rassier, Rick Heid, Bob Herges, Grèg Stroeing 2. Po dview Rid e Six Final Plat -Mayor Hiemenz stated that this meeting was called by the Planning Co mission after their last meeting where they tabled their discussion about Pondview Ridge Final PI t. Hiemenz stated he' understands the main issue is, whether there should be two lots or three lots on the corner property orl Minnesota Street and 1 ih Avenue. I , Hu!b Klein stated that thère are other issues too that he hopes can be discussed tonight. He stated that the whole plat has been changed. They aren't showing the same area as they were on the last pt they that brought fo~ard. Grrg Stroeing stated that what the Council and Planning Commission are looking at.is onlyJhe first phfse of Pondview Six. 1hey will be bringing it in phases much like the five phases of Northland A~dition. Stroeing addeq that the Stearns County Auditor prefers it this way. It makes it easier for . th' tax records. I Lolso asked why not just !name it Phase one of Pondview Six. Stroeing stated that normally large pi~ceslike this are not pl:atted all at once. All of the phases, however, will come before the Council and Planning Commission for approval. M~rge Lesnick asked if t~e legal' description in the corner was forthe whole plat or just for the first p~ase. She also wantèd to know why it didn't say Pondview Six in the legaldescription.Stroeing e~plained that it won't s~y Pondview Six because the property adjacent to Pondview Ridge Six adtually describes the legal description of Pondview Ridge Six. That is whyPondview Ridge Five is p rt of the legal. . ¡ L so stated that the real!reason that they are mèeting tonight is to discuss the three Iqtsversus 2 lots o that corner propèrty. ! S roeing explained that~hentheYbOU9ht it from Kostreba, there were three sèrvicelines put in d~ring Pondview Ridge 5. There was the understanding at that time that there would bè three lots on th~t pr9perty. However,jthey came up short on width when all three lots face 12th Avenue and thus would require a variance, for that plan. As. a result, they have come up with. an alternative plan that mleets all the ordinance requirements. This plan would have two of the lots facing Minnesota Street a; d one facing 1 ih. 1 ç;þry Utscn slatedtnat t~e Planning COrJ1rJ1i..i?n called tnis rJ1eeting to leI tne Councill<now how thay feel on this issue. Wher the preliminary plat came in, they had an argument at that time that there s~ould only be two lots. I They were told that they just wanted to get the layout approved and that the Panning Commission W:ould have another chance to resolve this issue when theJinal plat comes f rward. The Planning C()mmission believes thatthere should only be two houses on that lot, one . th ' . t at faces 12 and one ~hat faces Minnesota Street. Three houses on that lot would be a safety I I I . ~ . . . . > . iss e. They don't want aqother driveway onto Minnesota Street and if there are three driveways onto 1 ih they will be too close to the corner. 1 Loslo stated that it may noi be a safety issue now, but that itwill be in the future. Connecting 1 ih Avrue and Highway 75 Will create additional traffic volume in this area. UtsE" stated that th~re w4s a lot a/discussion and speculation on this issue in the past. Nothing was eVl guaranteed to anyone about whether there would be three lots. Hiemenz added that the Jtility trade off with Kostreba was supposed to take care of this issue. Hotever, the paperwork was never filled out on it. The City then had to payhimfor the right of way. Th y never guaranteed him a lot split for three lots however. It all depended on the future deVelopment of the area. i Hiemenz added that the new APO maps show 1ih Avenue in 2025 c01nected to an Arterial rqad to carry a large amount of traffic South. Slrring stated thatlhe alternate þlan that they are proposing meetsalìof the ordinances There wo Id be two driveways onto 1 ih Avenue and one onto Minnesota Street. Therewould be no gTndS thaI this plan could be denied. Ut : h stated that they couid deny it based on the addition of a driveway. Stroeing stated that they are n~fdding a driveway to Minnesota Street. They are merely r.emoving the one that's there and re lacing it with one that Is safer because it is farther from ,the corner. Bo Herges added that t~e two driveways onto 1 ih Avenue would be as far away from the corner as Po~sible, so as to minimize any safety concerns, The driveway would be put as far south as possible to I reate a greater distanice from the intersection. . Klrin stated again that thWe should only be one driveway on 1 ih Avenue and one on Minnesota St¡eet. Hiemenz stated Tat the new alternative meets all of the square footage requirements Gr¡aeve added that the d\iveway needs to be 300 feet away from the corner to meet the County Tlations. Carlson stat~d that ~ere is no 300' req uirement and ~atI2'" Avenue is a Ci~ street, not re ulated by the County.] The County will only comment on Minnesota Street. I ! H rges stated that all of the services are stubbed off of 1 ih Avenue so they will have to extend a line a9ross someone's yard and create an easement. This'is workable, but problematic. The original larut with all three propérties facing 1 ih Avenue works the best. Hiemenzstated that the ¡letter from Joe Bettendorf dated July 30, 1996 states that there was an afitional water and sewer service line on Minnesota street that was put in just in case there was a n rt\) south split. Stroei~g asked If that was actually putin, becaUse itwasn'ton the maps they had. T at would eliminate th~ need for the easement. . Klein stated that the driVbway would only be 6" from the sidewalk.on the east side. Herges said no it ~ I w uld be more, as they are moving it all the way to the end. Klein stated again that it should be two 101 s as this doesn't meet! the requirements for the lot. Carlson disagreed stated that it falls into the r~quirements on page 186 for lots that are not rectangular in size. This second plan does meet all of th1erequirements. I T it asked what size house is going on each lot. Herges explained that they will be putting patio hi mes there just like thj ones on 1 ih Avenue now. They will be 1,100-1,200 square feet. Niedenfuer asked if the~ will provide a final drawing of the driveway locations? Herges said they sure . c n. ' I ! i 1 I . < : I . . . , ¡ I . Ku rSchneider stated that these smaller homes may help the City in its affordable housing efforts. Hiemenz said that the City hasn't approved ¡my final plan for affordable housing yet. LO~O stated that hewouldstilllike to hear a recommendation from the Planning Commission. Klein staJed that the.ir recommendation is two houses. Twit stated that isn't an option as it seems that they ca I get three lots there afd meet all of the requirements. Ni!1denfuer stated that she understands Klein's concerns and pointed out thatwith the first option with th1 variance, there is actually more space between his property and the next house. The first option mi~ht also look much better as the houses along 1ih Avenue are all the same style. Having them all facie 1ih might help main~ain the appearance of the homes along Minnesota Street. Twit stated that in the first scenario there is actually a larger buffer zone between Klein's home and the others. c~llS9n statø<l that John ~cherer looked ¡¡t this and Joe BettendOrf approved th.e, fi,rst plan. They ÞOth ageed thatthe original plan works with an variance issued. U+hst¡¡tectthat it IS his :lnderstanding that there are really only two options andthathaving two lots on the property isn't one bf them. They can either grant the variance and have all of the homes face 121h or they can come in with their second plan and meet al.1 of the requirements with one driveway on to ('Ainnesota Street. Hiemenz stated that is correct. Utsch stated that he would like the Planning C9mmission to wait to make a recommendation until Monday night after they have had a chance to discuss the two options. ¡The rest of the Planning Commission agreed. EII~n Wahlstrom ¡¡sk,ed tJ address the Council. She stated fua! she has Þeen in touch with the cynty and the plafthat they submitted to the County is very different from whafhas been submitted to he Council tonight. She suggested that the City talk to the County about it. There are some serous issues with the wetland delineation that need to be worked out. She stated that the individual . at he County is new. Graeve suggested that it's possible that the paper trail has not caught up with thir individual yet, but m~ybe not. Carlson added that he has been in touch with environmental services and everything i~ fine. Hiemenz suggested that Wahlstrom ask someone from the County to ad['ess the Planning Co¡nmission on Monday night. The Planning Commission and Wahlstrom ag eed. ! The Mayor asked iftherJwas any more þusiness for Ihe Coullcil and Planning Commission. Klein arWhat had happenedto the. City cat.ordinance. Hiemenz explained that the ordinance is still on th books, but the Police can't enforce it. There is no place for them to take them when they pick th m up as the St. Joseph Vet Clinic won't take them. ! Jirr Graeve stated that he had been to a County Board meeting and said that they allow the audience members to participate in the meeting. He suggested that the City Council allow audience members to ìspeak at the meetingsf K rt Schneider asked if treCity was doing another housing study. He. received a call from Admark C mpany asking about his rental housing. The questions they asked were very vague and he w nders how they can .g~t any useful information for their survey results from what they asked. He m y call them back to clé¡lrify his answers. Hiemenz stated that no, the City is not doing another surveyor housing study.! 3. J~dY Weyrens contrac~ Discussion - Weyrens presented the Council with an employment agreement that she dre~ up. She explained that the provisions in the contract were taken from tracts from othør adnjinistr¡¡to(s in the region. The an~ualsala~ she is requestíng is $51 ,000 T e Council advertised for the range for this position af$47,000 - $53,000. $51,000 is the mid range. L so made a motion to approve the employment agreement as submitted by Weyrens. Niedenfuer . s¿conded the motion. Hlemenz asked for clarification that any of the provisions not in the contract w ,uld fall subject to the Personnel policy. Weyrens stated that she could add something to that effect to the contract. Hiemenz also asked that a provision be put I that the increases would be subject to a ! i I I I I , . . . ~ , . favrable review. Niedenfuer stated that it seems like a pretty straightforward contract. Hiemenz ca/ìedthe question and t~e motion passed unanimously. Weyrensstatedthat there are some duties tha she would like to keep in this position. She has spoken with the Auditor and they are going to wl on a way to allow h~r to do that. She state9 that she would like. s.ome time before they actually hir a new person. The Council agreed.

TO '#HOM IT MAY CONCERN: Dec. 4, 2000 Last year it was brought up about snow plowing the ci tyj sidewalks on both sides of Minnesota Street and so tar nothing has been done about it. They plow all the ~ay from the eas~ end of Minnes~~a's south , . ¡ , Then on the north side they plow sJ..de to Ithe wes~ end. I from th~ east end··of Minn. Street up to the Mobile Station .j Now there are only two more blocks on that I side of it he street that would have to be plowed but for som~ reason are not. All of us on both sides of the str~et are tax payers and when street improvements . were made we also contributed to part of the cost. Now the i amount of gas used for these two blocks to I finish the job right would certainly make for a better feelingjfor the resi1ents. A:..~e we victims of discrimination~ . riCo) q Cj ~. - r' ",.Y would have a problem funding this as it only benefits a portion of the community. Ehlert I asked if the College would be willing to open up their training to the community. Niedenfuer . stated that this actually benefits all of the women in St. Joseph, b*t that she would approach some other sources for funds. Niedenfuer also reported that the sixth and final Healthy Commun;ities Partnership training is February 29th in Wadena. ' Loso had not report. Ehlert stated that he wouldn't be here for the second meeting in January. Ehlert asked what is happening to the dollars that are being raised from the collectioh of the noise violations. He suggested that a good will fund be created to benefit the comrrunity that could be used for proactive measures. Schmidt stated she wasn't sure how muçh, if any, revenue has been generated but that she would look into this. I I Twit reported that he was asked to appear before the planning commission last night regarding his proposal to place a moratorium on rental housing. The planning commission is in favor of this and made a motion to recommend such a measure to the City Council. They will be coming forward with a formal recommendation. ! I 14. Clerk/Administrator Report - Schmidt reported that the Fire Department has a number of old Christmas decorations that they would like to donate to anothér community. Before this can happen, the City must declare them surplus items. The decorations are pole mounted as well as a few that string across the street. Loso made a motion td declare the Christmas , , decorations as surplus. The motion was seconded by Ehlert. The motion passed unanimously. i I ~. Schmidt stated that Vern Voss, 1106 Able St. E, has asked the Ci~y to maintain the sidewalk . on the West side of 1ih Ave SE (snow removal) Minnesota Street East to Klinefelter Park. Mr. Voss indicated that there are a number of joggersê;md walker$ that use the sidewalk. It isn't getting shoveled and is a safety issue. Loso asked Taufen hOw he felt about this request. Taufen stated that it is up to the Council but that soon erj¡ough we will be shoveling all of the sidewalks in the City. Hiemenz suggested that this might be a good issue to refer to the Park Board as it might become part of theirtrail system. Twit asked if City Attorney Scherer if we are assuming any more liability by sweeping the sidewalk and Scherer said no. Ehlert stated that at some point we will be looking for another ent~ance on 1 ih into the park. Twit said we may be doing this prematurely then. Ehlert stated that this may encourage usage of the park though. Eh/ert made a motion to have the City remove snow on the West side of 1 ih Ave SE. Niedenfuer seconded the motion and it passþd unanimously. Schmidt reported that she and Taufen met with Jim Fredericks, thß new Chief Physical Plant/Facilities Management Officer for the College of St. Benedi~ts to start talking about 121. The County has 121 on their schedule for work in 2001. The issue is how much the college will be willing to contribute to pay for the improvements. The are~ is in need of sidewalks, decorative lighting, curb and gutter and all the utilities. Mr. Frede~icks asked what the City's assessment policy would be in this situation. The College is negotiating with the monastery to purchase 140 acres of monastery property. The assessment c~st will influence the price they are willing to pay and if they purchase the property at all. ! Schmidt reported that other issue is whether or not the City will b~ able to receive Municipal State Aid funding for the project. If we have a population over 5,0,00 we are eligible for this aid. This raises the question of whether or not we should open up talks with the Township about annexing that portion( along 121 to the township hall). It's ih our long term annexation plan already but isn't scheduled for another 6-10 years. Annexing this property would bring in the apartments and may bring us over the 5,000 hump.

Chuck handed.out copies of the lists and tables given to the legislative committees that reviewed the Board's bonding requests. The result of the efforts was the creation of a new REGIONAL PARK GRANT P~OGRfThf for Greater Minnesota with initial funding of $500,000. Members updated the Board on the status of their respective projects. I Benton County is actively pursuing the purchase of the qraves Farm on the Mississippi River. The Trust for Public Land will be helping with the process. The I County will be approaching local legislators to author a bill providing acquisition funding · specifically for this project. Rick indicated the County would bel applyingfor the Regional Park funds. I The City of St. Joseph is starting to allocate money tow~d theLakeWobegon Trail Welcome Center that would be constructed near the city water tower. With the proposed construction date of 2003 for the St. Joseph extension qf the Lake Wobegon Trail this project has become a higher priority. A recent survey~howed parks and trails high on the desire list for the St. Joseph area. I Chuck indicated that Stearns County has received state fu~ding for two of the projects it. has. listed.. The Holdingford segment of the LakeWobþgon Trail received a $115,000 commitment from the DNR RegionalTrail program.. The QuarryPark expansion project also received a funding commitment of about $300,000 to help buy the final parcel for the Quarry Park Scientific and Natural Area.

Will Jr., Police Department facilitator I i I The committee originally started before I was hired and was headed by an officer who left the department to work for the sheriffs office. During the dmmer of2000, the committee started to meet again with the goal of coming up with a working plan.

I Th council met and se'rious discussions took place about all areas of the proposal. After the first meetings, 1 submitted the proposal shown below.

TJs proposal would h~ve set a month as a defin~d. period of time so that if ther" we,eS different incidents/perspn underage drinking in a bar during September, the penalty w9uld have been $800 (8 people' times $100 first violation). lfthey had 2 in October thr it would have bee¡ $400 (2 persons times $200) Th~s got thecommitteeito look at what the fines would have been based on the above plus Wjt they would be iftrere were fines only Dirussions continued }Inti I we reached the current proposed matrix shown on the first pa· e and again below. I pa~ Of the reason for t~e matrix \yas that if a business. is doing a good job, the first vlolatIOnfor the most Gommon vIOlatIOns should be a warnmg. Thl reason for aday tolbe a violation period is because the bùsmess ¡nay have" bafender who chooseslto let underage in one day and the business should not be purshed for that one incident and they should be given a chance to correct it. Nlmber 5, if there is a~" violation, then the council would review to decide what type of pe I aIty to impose up tq and including revocation of the license for up to a year. . ~ ...¥- ".».:>!, Violation IS 2n 3r 4 !. 1.

At this time it is being ldftto the council to I decide if it should be in the matrix or left out. The law is difficult to prosecute and does not come up very often. This may cause the Council to want to deal with it on an . individual basis at the time of occurrence instead of placing it in I the matrix. 8.

I Wish to thank them for the hard work that they have put into this. The Council is encouraged to ask questions of the committee members before the I Council takes action, if you have any. I I At this time the options available to the Council are: I I 1. Adopt the matrix as is. I 2. Send the matrix back to committee with areas that the Coundil wants reviewed and in 3. what direction the Council wants the committee to look at. I Make changes to the matrix at the council table and then adopt the matrix as amended. I I 4. Not adopt the matrix system at all and continue with the cUdent system of monthly reviews and all options available to the council from a warnihg to l-year license revocation. I I I .

CITY OF ST. JOSEPH 21 First Avenue NW P.O. Box 668, 51. Joseph. MN 56374 (320) 363-7201 Fax: 363-0342 .. MAYOR Kenneth J. Hiemenz CI,ERK! AUMINISl'RATOR DATE: December 15, 2000 Cari Schmidt I I TO: Mayor and City Council COUNCILORS Bob Loso FROM: ~ari Lindberg alert 1 It RE: Personnel Policy Mary Niedenfuer Mayor Hiemenz asked that this item be placed on the agenda. There are two issues left for the Council to decide upon in the personnel manual: sick leave and vacation hours :used in the computation of overtime. The rest of the Personnel policy was adopted. The Mayor wanted this brought to your attention to either discuss and decide at this meeting, or to put it back on the radar screen for the new Council. I I I . t' .~ . . . .J o'3[f)).) Db · 8. Parking Ban - Twit ,suggested that the Council leave the ban in place as it's hard to say if this weather willlast.ì Loso suggested that the ban only be enforced when it snows and the plows have to.come out. Loso stated that perhaps this policy should be in place all winter, but maybe that is a discussion for another time. .... Twit made a motion to leave the parking ban in place with the undwstandingthat the police will only ticket when it snows and the streets I· . . ... . < must be plowed. Lo~o seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. 9. Personnel Manual -tSchmidt stated that the two items that were left. for discussion were the overtime/compensation time policy and sick leave. The Council spent considerable time discussing the effect~ if hours away from work for jury duty, scheduled vacation or paid sick leave are not computed in hours worked when computing overtime: . The City attorney suggested the following language be added to the personnel policy: "Hours away from work for jury duty, schedul,ed vacation or paid sick time will not be computed in hours worked for the purpose of computing eligibility for overtime pay." The Council adopted this language. at the last meeting this 'was discussed. Schmidt stated that the suggestion made by the City Attorney's office regarding sick leave was for cost savingsjonly. They suggested that the City does not need to allow the employees to bank such a large amount. Thè employees currently can bank up to 720 hours. They accrue 8 hours each month. Schmidt stated that there is no legal requirement that they must change this prôvision. In addition, the City has a lot of employees that have worked for the City many years ¡with the understanding that t~ey were building up their time. .It seems unfair to take that away from them now. Ehlert agreed stating that any change that should only apply to new ef\lployees and the rest would essentially be "grand-fathered in." Twit stated that the ~mployees that have already reached 720 should be allowèd to keep · those hours but that;the new policy should apply to the other employees. Perhaps there should bea future d~te-"a sunset" to the current policy. , Twits\.Jggested that the Council reviewthe current policy and come up with suggestions for changes that can b~ discussed at an upcoming meeting, instead of reviewing it now. Schmidt stated that ?s far as the overtime issue goes there isa need to clarify what is scheduled overtime 'and what is a "callout." The weekend shifts are scheduled a month in advance so it seem!:¡ reasonable that they would be considered scheduled overtime. Snowplowing is a different story. Dick tells the guys at 4-5:00 that theyneed to come .inthat night to plow. Therèis no advance warning. Schmidt stated that this time should be paid at time and a half regardless of how many hours have already been worked during the week. I Twit stated that he ~grees with that, but that this time should not be counted as part of the rest of the week for computing overtime. Schmidt stated that legally it has to be counted as hours worked, but tMat some discussion can take place regarding the amount of time that is needed for the nigh~time work. The Council previously discussed wanting the employees to only do the bare mi~imum during the night time hours and spend their normal shift finishing up. Schmidt stated that she would discuss this issue with the public works employees to see what can be done during the day. She stated thet it's likely that they are just being thorough and trying to get as ,much done as possible while all of the cars. are off the streets. However, there might be somy things that could be done during thè day instead. Schmidt stated that she would report back to the Council on this item at a later date. I I 10. Mayors Report - 8iemenz reported on a Habitatfor Humanityprogram that would be interesting to implement in St. Joseph. Ehlert agreed and asked Schmidt to speak with the · EDA Director to see if something like this could be put into place with new developments in St. Joseph. 2 . dJD?/DD' colleges should also be involved in the discussions. Twit made a! motion to adopt the special interim ordinance 2000-1 placing a six month moratorium on all new rental licenses, · seconded by Ehlert. The motion passed unanimously. . Twit stated that the committee should be limited to another resident, a landlord and a I representative of the colleges in addition to the named individuals. Schmidt stated that the committee would then consist of a staff liaison, Hub Klein, Doris Jphnson, AI Rassier, Steve Hagman, another landlord, resident and representative of the colleges. Ehlert made a motion to appoint a rental housing ordinance review committee composed of the aforementioned individuals. Loso seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Schmidt asked for clarification that if more people called that staff would have the authority to appoint the individuals. The Council agreed. Loso stated that he would a,lso like to ensure thatthe committee receives the information that the Council obtained durirg their joint meetings with the colleges. 10. Personnel Manual -Schmidt asked the Council whether or not they would like to table this discussion until all of the Council members could be present. Hiernenz stated that the Council postponed the item last time as both members of the per~onnel committee weren't present. It seems appropriate that the Council move forward at this time though. I Schmidt stated that the two items that were left for discussion we~e the overtimelcompensation time policy and sick leave. The Council sþent considerable time discussing the effects if hours away from work for jury duty, scheduled vacation or paid sick leave are not computed in hours worked when computing overtime. 'The City attorney suggested the following language be added to the personnel policy: "Hours away from work for jury duty, scheduled vacation or paid sick time will not be computed in hours worked for the purpose of computing eligibility for overtime pay." Twit stated ~hat the Council discussed · this issue at length. His concern is that the employees are not able to pyramid their time. This provision would keep an employee from taking vacation on a!week where they know that they will work more hours, simply for the purpose of getting overtime. Twit stated that overtime should only be paid for actual hours worked, not days of'scheduled days of vacation.' . Loso stated that scheduled vacation should be counted as hours worked for the computation of overtime. Twit stated that the 4th of July has been a problem in !the past. The employee is able to get vacation time, over time and holiday pay which equates to triple time. Loso stated that this is a management control and approval issue. If managell1ent approves the vacation there shouldn't be a question. Schmidt stated that the LELS cont~act includes a provision that covers pyramiding and compounding of hours. This could be;included in the personnel manual. Twit made a motion to add the language: "Hours away from worklfof jury duty,scheduled vacation or paid sick time will not be computed in hours worked for the purpose of computing eligibility for overtime pay. " Ehlert seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Schmidt stated that the suggestion made by the City Attorney's office regarding sick leave was for cost savings only. They suggested that the City does not reed to allow the employees to bank such a large amount. Schmidt stated that there is no legal requirement that they must change this provision. In addition, the City has a lot of employees that have worked for the City many years with the understanding that they.were building up their time. It seems unfair to take that away from them now. Ehlert agreed st!ating that any change that would be considered would only apply to new employees and the rest would essentially be "grand-fathered in," . Twit stated that overtime has been taken advantage of in the past.! This has nothing to do · 4 "".,. " .. . with the current pers~nnel that we have. There is the possibility, however, that an employee in the future might trY to take advantage of the situation and schedule vacation during a week that they know they ~ill get overtime. Ehlert agreed stating that in this situation the employee is actually getting dO(Jble time when they schedule vacation on a holiday. I Schmidt stated that the Council could add a provision into the contract that states if an employee is called in off vacation, they are paid at time and a half (without using the term "overtime.") WeyrenFstated that this would create a contradiction in the personnel manual. Schmidt stated that perhaps the Council would like to address this issue at the next meeting when the issuescanibe laid out a little more clearly. Twit stated that the issues have been laid out. . I Loso made a motionlto adopt the policy as currently written with the understanding that the I Council willIe-visit the topics of sick leave and vacation hours used in the computation of overtime. Ehlert secpnded the motion and it passed unanimously. I 11. MayorsReport-Hiemenz reported that the City hired a new rental inspector and that hiring needs to be officially :approved by the Council. The Administrator, Mayor and current rental inspector AI Rassier interviewed three candidates for the position. Steve Hagman was the best of the three candidates. He currently owns his own building inspection business in St. Cloud.. Ehlert made a motion to approve the hiring of the part time rental inspector Steve Hagman. ThemotioQwas seconded by Hiemenz and passed unanimously. Hiemenz reported that he received a letter from a resident in Kraemer Lake who is interested in being hooked up to. the St. Joseph water and sewage systems. I ! . Hiemenz reported that he attended the League of Minnesota Cities conference for experienced officials:that was facilitated by Carl Neu. It was a very informative conference. I i 1. Council Reports - Twit asked when the next EDA meeting was scheduled for. Ehlert stated that he had one iten;¡ from the Park Board regarding the fifth phase of Klinefelter Park. They are seeking approval from the Council for a $5,945 expenditure for playground· equipment. Twit stated that this amount was higher than what was approved last year., Ehlert stated that they should have en\Jugh budgeted to cover this amount. Ehlert made a motion to approve the $5,945 expenditure for the playground equipment for Klinefelter Park up to the amount that is available in th'e Park Board budget. Twit seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Cablel Commissioner Tom Nahan reported that Marge Lesnick called and reported that the Pa~k Board budget has $5,800. Ehlert stated that there are other funds that can be used to maké up the difference. I 13. ClerklAdministratoriReport - Schmidt reminded the Council of some upcoming meetings. i I 1 . Closed Session: Hiemenzstated that at this time. the Councilwould adjourn to closed session for a discussion of the Pblice Chief candidate selection. I At 10: 15 PM the Council reconvened. Schmidt reported that the Council would be meeting again on Wednesday the gtr at 5:00 in closed session to continue their discussion of the Police Chief candidates. . Adjourn - Losomåde a motion to adjourn at 10:20 PM, seconded by Ehlert. Themotion passed unanimously. I I i . spectfullySubmitted, 5 .. , . ~), City of Sf. Joseph Special Working Meeting . 11/10/99,4:00 PM 1. Call to Order. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the City Cçuncil and the City of St. Joseph met on Thursday, November 10, 1999 at 4:00 PM in the ~t. Joseph City Hall. Members Present: Mayor Kenneth J. Hiemenz, Council member ~ory Ehlert. Council member Bob Loso, Council member Mary Niedenfuer and Council member Ken Twit, and Clerk-Administrator Cari Schmidt. 2. Personnel Manual - Schmidt stated that as most of the Council was already aware, the City Employees have filed a petition with AFSCME requesting union status. As a result of the I petition, the bureau of mediation services has issued a maintena~ce of statusç¡uo order in regards to all personnel issues. Schmidt stated that she would k~ep the Councilinformed as she receives more information on the status. 3. Police Chief Recruitment - Schmidt stated thatthe closing date ,for the position is November 15, but that the applications will not be reviewed for a few days afterward, as post marked applications will be accepted. The purpose ofthis discussion is to discuss whether the Council wants to conduct the interviews themselves or have al panel of interviewers including community members. Niedenfuer requested that the Council should consider involving t~e Colleges in the hiring process, perhaps not on the hiring panel but in a consultation fashion. Although this may be a touchy issue, the Colleges and the City are working together to ~ry to start a new relationship. Ehlert agreed stating that the schools should be inv91ved somehow. Twit stated that he would like to see the City Council choose the qandidate. The Colleges . haven't asked for the City's opinion in anyone that they've hired. Twit would be in favor, however, of having an outside individual from the law enforcement community help with the I interviews. ' Schmidt stated that she could contact another community to see if they would be willing to . come and help with the search. A community like Northfield woul~ be able to relate to a lot of similar issues, e.g. the student/resident relationships. Schmidt stated that a former Police officer, Rob Schwegel, expre9sed interest to some of the officers in helping with the hiring of the position. Loso stated that ,there may be a question from some of the residents if we use Rob. There were some controversial items that happened in the City when this individual was employed by the CIty. Loso stated that someone from the law enforcement community should be involved. It is his opinion that the Council should choose the top three candidates and then! get input from community members. Twit suggested that Bill Lorenz might be a good individual to participate in the interview process. He could provide a historical perspective of the City and !the Police Department. He also suggested that someone from the Sheriff's department, like ~im Kostreba could be a great asset in the search. Twit suggested that we use the same process that we did for the Administrator search. We could have a luncheon where the community could have some in(eraction with the candidates. Schmidt suggested that the Council then .also have some sort offollow up with the community members there to get their feedback on the candidates. Niedenfuer agreed with this idea and said that was something missing from the process in the administrator search. She talked to the community members individually, but afl organized meeting might . be helpful. ~ d ' - . . <';;;, , .... , ' , ' . :>,' I . , " ,,:.! . . . ,<,1,'.· , ;' t~', .', , . , '.' .'

A ¡matter pertaining 110 St. Wendel Township (St. Wendel) was discussed at t~e N9vember 16th SCf1WAC meeting. SCAWAC understands that the County will soon cor sider a re-zoning ¡request from St. Wendel which, if approved, would allow additional re1idential developm~nt to occur in the portion of St. Wendel that lies within the Urban Expansion Area identified in the St. Cloud Area Master Plan (the· Master Plan). SdAWAC is concerred that the area in question is not served bya. public sewer sy~tem, nor have arrangements<been made with any jurisdiction for the planning, design an~ installation of! such .a system. SCAWAC is concerned that the proposed deJelopmentmaynqt follöw thepla~ning principles esIablishedinthe¥aster plan and. if i ermitted, could lead to problems with groundwater quality, potable water supply and public health.

COMÑllTTEE I I Below IS a listing of th¢recþmmertdatioos for affordahl¢ housing set fÖrth j~ "Pe9'p leW orkjng for Homes', !he Report of the «entral Minnesola Task F?'Fe on Affordahle H9usin~. Eac? of the five éi ties Involved III theTaskForce's work (Sartell, SaukRaplds, St. Cloud, St. Joseph andWatte Park) have endorsjd these rec9ffiI11end~tions and agreed to more forward with developing zoning and subdivision ordinace standards to implement them. In order to accomplish this a drafting committee has been establis ed to examine thes¿ recommendations in more. detail and draft ordinance amendments for ! adoptio by the respective-cities. . ì Below ach recommendaii4 is~ Iistof questions to be addressed b ytl1e drafting committee. Some issues do not relate directly ~o zoning and subdivision ordinances, so the drafting committee will not be addressjllg(heSe in any de~L These.are so noted. 1) Cost of Land - ZOningRolicies should encourage greater housing density per acre so developers cOluse land moreeffitentIy a) hat should that dehsity be? . b) Wlzat about minimu~n . lot frontages ? cJ rhatre$Ïdeiliiáldistþcts should thisapplyi01 ¡A"ll?

Or) are there some that can't be allowed due to sate building code requirements? oj lUld.lheSèrelaxedJeqUiremellts apply t? allz() ning districts? J ust som~? b J If ould thes e relaxed ~tandards only apply; as all incelltive bo 11 us, to ne",(! evélopmenis ùlC011JOrating afford4ble ho II sing ? If so, w hot types of deve lopm e nl would qualify? 3) City nfrastructUl'e. LoJal governments should be fIexibJeonfequiremems for streets, cement Side!kS, curbs and gu tt~rs and green spaces where affordable housing is p iannedas part of a devel· pment. I a J ¡~at should the milli~ um sIred widt/¡ be? Wh1tkind o/sta ndqrds sf¡ 1 uld be impo sed 011 . t/zr.se street wi~ths? (qn streetparking) adequate SIlOW removal sTOrage. should these roads be p~vare or publzc?) , ¡ b) l r.zat Sholdd the sidewalk requirements be? Allow other types ofmaterÙ1ls? Notrequire si ewalks at all? ì 1 t···; -;., . c) What would the curb and gutter standards be? Allow other type~ of materials or different . designs? Not require them at all? d) At what point would the development be eligible for these exemptjons/standards? e) Would we allow for the relaxed standards on all roads? Just local? Local and collector? f) How would we handle phased projects? For example, a subdivision could be laid outthat does include affordable housing and would therefore.be exempt from the strict infrastructure requirements. Later, another subdivision (which may not neces~arily include affordable housing and would, therefore, not be allowed the relaxed standards) may be constructed that would interconnect with streets within the previous development. 4) AssessmentslFees - Local governments. should develop policies to budget for reduction of -assessments and fees that would otherwise apply to. affordable housing construction. These policies would need to be developed by the' communities .with (lssistance from their respective financial staff/consultants, and may not translate into a zoning/subdivision ordinance. However, communities may have requirements for park dedication, ¡street dedication, etc. within their subdivision codes that may need to be examined relative to this recommendation. If communities do have these types of requirements, the drafting com11littee may want to make recommendations on what types of dedication requirements and/or fees cities may want.to consider waiving or reducing. 5) Building Codes - Local governments should oppose additional amendments to State Building Codes . unless a full understanding of their costs to a unit of housing can be determined. This is a policy that communities would follow, but that would not translate into a zoning/subdivision ordinance. 6) Taxes;.. State property tax policy should reduce the disparity betwee~ tax classifications of single family vs. multifamily properties. MajoLlocal government initiatives which create additional taxes may represent an additional barrier to housing affordability. Communities may want to lobby their legislators on state tax polici~s and keep affordable housing issues in mind when setting local tax policies, but this item does n~t translate into a zoning/subdivision ordinance. I 7) Rehabilitation - Local governments shouldassistin the rehabilitatipn of affordable housing currently at risk. Communities should explore available technical and financial assfstance programs to address this issue, but thžs item does not translate into a zoning/subdivision orqinance. 8) PreserYing Low Income Rental Units - Hundreds of subsidized apartments are nearing the end of . multi-year agreements with the govem:nent to keep them affordable. These should be preserved as affordable units. ,. . ¡ I Aga 'n, communitiesshohldexplore available technical and.financial assistance programs to addlîess this issue, but this item does not translate into a zoning/subdivision ordinance. < ' 'I 9) Life Cycle Housing - New housing developments should include housing for citizens of all incomes I andreS. I a)' .ow da we <!efine/de ennine what types of hansing is suited ta various income and age rUPS? I b) . ow do we calculate the appropriate mix? c) , t what point would # development be requiredto include this mix? Only developments ofa certain size? How 'wquld size be determined, by units or acres? I 10) Con istent Zoning Policies -!tis essential that the five cities of the area work in conjunction with I one nother on zoning ch4nges to create a consistent set of affordable housing regulations for deve opers, ThisJtem is at the heart of the drafting committee's work. Hopefully, the standards and ordi ances created will be uniform among all.five cities. . 11) Zoni~g far Multi- FamiI~ Hausiug - Local governments should add more flexibility to residential zoning districts, now primarily zoned for single family housing, to allow for multi-family housing in new tVe!opment plannÎng areas.. a) S I auld multi-famü, />~ allawed withittal1 residential zaning distrlcis?

Just those of a certain size? Would that size be determined by units o~ acreage? 12) Raise Housing Dênsity L~vels - Local governments should allow smaller lots and insist on a minimum percentage of af~ordable housing innew development planning areas. a) wr,at s)¡auld that lot si1e/density />e? b) What should that minimum percentage be? . c) S tUldaminùnum pe1centage .of affarda/> Ie lwusin g be re quÎ1:ed M ail n ewho liS in g de elopments?
