The minutes of the October 7 , 1993 Council meeting address the CORE Committee as a volunteer committee, and suggested that the Secretary should not have been preparing thank you notes for that Committee. . The CORE Committee was established in the summer of 1990, in response to community problems. The Council established the status of CORE as a subcommittee of the Council, with a Council liaison, and the Clerk/Administrator as a member to keep the records for the committee, and send information and notices. The Council felt this is an important committee and in order to ensure permanence they provided CORE the Clerk/Administrator's office to retain permanence of the Committee. The Police Chief is a permanent member of the committee also. Therefore, I felt that it was appropriate for my staff to prepare thank you notes for the success of Community Day, which was a CORE sponsored event. If the Council's focus of the CORE Committee has changed, please clarify the status of the CORE Committee, and the degree of involvement the Council wishes the City to provide. 14d.

He also discussed challenge grants through the McKnight foundation and the availability of other programs through DTED for various projects. Department of Public Safety - Don Hubert discussed the ISTEA funding, which is a funding mechanism very different from MDOT funding in the past. Also he discussed that they will do contract maintenance for cities as time and . funding will allow. He stated that cities should allow two years advance notice for Cooperative funding agreements for street and road projects. They are more sensitive to local business needs during projects, and try to plan detours without disrupting local business. Minn. Pollution control Agency - Larry Shaw discussed that MPCA is attempting to be a more supportive agency, by trying to help with the pollution problems rather than "to go in with guns blazing " Open burning is not legal if . there is garbage service in the city, but this requirement exempts a short period of time for leaf burning. MPCA's function in spi 11s is to assure that it is cleaned up in an efficient manner. Larry also stated that they encourage fire departments not to get out the hoses when there is a sp ill. The spi 11 should be contained and ca 11 the spi 11 hotline. MPCA has no more grants. The petro fund reimbursement requirements allow 90% reimbursement if the tank is registered with the State and the report of leakage must be reported within 24 hours of the discovery of the leak.

Ell en Longfellow, an attorney with the League wi 11 give a presentation for $75 for a two hour session. Tom Grundhofer, of LMC IT , also stated that the open meeting law requires notice be given for meetings. For emergency meetings notice should be given as a minimum, to the media. Emergency meetings should only be ca 1 1 ed in a true emergency. . Tom Grundhofer also stated that the open meeting law also applies to sub committees of the counci 1 . This means that all authorized committees, whether a citizen appointed committee, Counc i 1 committee, with a quorum of the Counc i 1 or not, probably requires notice, and that an open meeting be held. TRUTH IN TAXATION - Hearings are an opportunity to get information to the citizens on the services provided and the cost of the services. Also the city may provide information on the increase in statutory costs to the city. Required this year is the cost of compensation costs as a percentage of the total proposed budget, and the number and budget for independent contractors.

The request of Mike Deutz for a special use permit came before the Planning Commission at a public hearing on October 4, 1993. The purpose of the hearing was to consider allowing an advertising sign on a property currently zoned general business zone. Notice of this matter was duly served and published. A copy of the notice is attached hereto.

Superintendent Donald Reber, Mayor City of St. Joseph PO Box 668 St. Joseph, MN 56374-0668 Dear Mr Reber: This letter is in response to your inquiry relating to the realignment of County Road 133. I have discussed this matter with the Stearns County Board at their Regular meeting on October 5th. -- "- Stearns County does not object to the realignment of County Road 133 to a new alignment connecting with 12th A venue Southeast within the City of St. Joseph. The County would be willing to designate this alignment as County Road 133, but would, however, undesignate the existing county road which would revert to the City as a city street. It is currently policy that the County does not participate in acquisition of right of way within city limits, therefore, the County would not participate in the acquisition of this right of way. Further, since existing County Road 133 adequately meets the County's needs in serving the travelling public, we would not be interested in participating in construction costs for the realignment. The County would, however, be willing to except future maintenance costs of the realigned County Road 133 once designation has been transferred. If a decision is made to proceed with the realignment of County Road 133, a decision will have to be made relative to the left turn lane constructed into Sherer Trucking's facility. It seems that one way to resolve this matter would be to relocate access into Scherer Trucking off of the County Road 133 extension south of County State Aid 75 (CSAH 75). - - 30,8685 (Rev. 10,901 "Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer" , (~ f~- . , . .

Ordinance 25.1 provides that the City Council shall elect one of its own members to serve as a member of the Planning Commission. Therefore, the council representative can exercise the same rights as any member, i. e. bringing motions before the Commission and voting on issues. I wish to point out that the ordinance refers to an individual elected by the Council. If the council member elected to serve as the representative to the Planning Commission is not present for a meeting, I do not believe that a substitute may appear in the place of a council member and act as a member of the Commission, unless he or she is specifically elected to act as a commission member on a temporary basis by the City Council. Absent such special appointment, the substitute council member will simply serve as a liaison without the right to vote or bring motions. If any Commission members have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to refer your questions through the Clerk Administrator1s office. Thank you.

I had indicated FRANK J. RAIKOWSKI to you that there may be some restrictions in this I regard and that I wanted to look at the issue further. -- GORDON H. HANSMEIER FREDERICK L. GRUNKE In fact, Minn. Stat. § 505.01 does address this issue THOMAS G. JOVANOVICH in a platting context. This statute provides that a JOHN H. SCHERER dedication in a plat acts as a donation to the public PAUL A. RAIKOWSKI of the property for the use and purpose intended. The KEVIN F. GRAY property shall be held by the municipality in trust for the purposes intended. WILLIAM J. CASHMAN This issue was considered in the case of Etzler v. DAVID T. SHAY Mondale, 123 N.W.2d 603 (1963) . In that case, the CAROL A. STARK I court noted that where a public park is vacated, which RICHARD w. SOBALVARRO had been part of a plat dedication, title to the park I property reverts to the person filing the plat. This MICHAEL c. RAIKOWSKI I case also went on to hold that a city could not vacate A. CHAD McKENNEY park property without affording a due process hearing MOLLY J. WINGATE to all other properties within the plat on which may be benefited by the park. MICHAEL H. DONOHUE OF COt."NSEL This decision was made in consideration of Minn. Stat. §§ 505.01 and 501.11. The latter of these two statutes JAMES H. KELLY, M.D., F.A.C.P. was rescinded several years ago. Whether or not that MEDICAL CO:-.;sln.TA....H recision makes any difference is unclear. ;ORDON H. HANSMEJER 15 ADMlTIED TO PRACTICE __ IN NORTH DAKOTA A~D WISCONSIN, In summary, it would be my opinion that if the City PAUL A. RAJKOWSKJ ¡:" WISCONSIN, OL A. STARK IN ILLL"-:OIS AND MISSOURI wishes to sell dedicated park property, it would first fllLIAM ].·CASHMA.,\; L'l SOUTH DAKOTA. be necessary to vacate the park dedication. Before a - Ms. Rachel Stapleton . October 13, 1993 Page -2- decision to vacate is made by the counsel, a public hearing should be held with notice going out to all other landowners within the plat as well as any properties adjacent to the park. It would be my opinion that upon vacation of the park, the City runs the risk of title reverting back to the party who originally platted the property, or his heirs or assigns. Therefore, before proceeding with the vacation, I would recommend that the City approach the party who initially filed the plat and seek a Quit Claim Deed transferring any interest which he or she may have in the property to the City. In that fashion, with the vacation of the dedication, title would accrue in the City and the City would then have marketable title to pass on to a third party upon sale.

FRANK]. RATKOWSKI Jerry Ralph of Hughes, Thoreen, Mathews & Knapp has contacted me and asked me whether or not I felt it was -- GORDON H. HANSMElER necessary to have a Purchase Agreement prepared. FREDERICK L. GRUNKE THOMAS G. JOVANOVICH Rachel, I have heard of this proposed transaction, but JOHN H. SCHERER I have not been part of the discussions. I don't know PAUL A. RATKOWSKI all of the details. Normally, I would be of the KEVIN F. GRAY opinion that a Purchase Agreement is necessary, but I don't want to make things unnecessarily complex. Before the City commits to the purchase of this WILLIAM J. CASHMAN property, I think that some issues should be addressed. DAVID T. SHAY CAROL A. STARK RICHARD W SOBALVARRO First of all, does the City wish to have me examine MICHAEL c. RATKOWSKI title to the property before the purchase? If so, it will be necessary for us to require St. Ben's to A. CHAD McKENNEY provide an Abstract of Title upon which I can base my MOLLY J. WINGATE title opinion. I would recommend at least some examination of title before purchase. MTCHAEL H. DONOHUE OF COUNSEL The next question has to do with whether or not there are any potential environmental concerns. At a JAMES H. KELLY, M.D., F.A.C.P. minimum, this issue could be addressed with a Purchase MEDICAL CONSULTANT Agreement in which St. Ben's warrants that the property "ORDON H. HANSMEIER IS ADMmED TO PRACTICE has never been used as a landfill, as a storage -- IN NORTH DAKOTA AND WISCONSIN, facility for toxic chemicals or waste products, nor has ~PAUL A. RAJKOWSKI IN WISCO;-':SIN, ,OL A. STARK IN ILLINOIS AND MISSOURf there been any underground storage tanks located on the Nn.UAM j. CASHMAN IN SOUTH DAKOTA. property. Some members of the Council may know enough . Ms. Rachel Stapleton . October 13, 1993 Page -2- about the history of this property to feel comfortable with regard to environmental issues. Absent that, I would suggest we seek a warranty from St. Ben's so that we have recourse in the event an environmental problem is discovered at a later time. r also believe that we should require a Warranty Deed as opposed to a Quit Claim Deed. A Warranty Deed provide a warranty of title which may become an issue if there are any claims asserted against the property at a later time. r suggest that you these concerns with the Mayor and Council and let me know how you would like me to proceed. I certainly do not want to make this transaction more formal or complicated than it need be, but at the same time, I want to see that the City is protected in this transaction.

It was agreed to send Thank You cards to all who donated, or . participated in the success of Community Day and to put a thank you in the Newsleader. The group discussed the need to find ways to get the st. John's and st. Ben's students to attend. The goal of the event is to promote community and interdependence in the community. Brad Lindgren asked to consider starting the event next year at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday evening in order to get more student participation. There was discussion of current problems from house parties. The City Attorney is looking into ways to prosecute the individual's who are responsible. Brad Lindgren stated that the students could be charged civilly on the noise complaints. Brad also stated that the police do not take action on parties until someone calls in a complaint. There is a problem with 1 itter this year also.
