Public Comments: MaryKay Huhne, 9850 Jenny LN: Huhne stated that in September the City
implemented a mandatory water meter replacement program. Huhne feels that homeowners should
oversee what technology they have in their home. Huhne stated that smart meters are surveillance
devices that violate 4th amendment rights. By continuing to follow the goals of sustainable smart growth
and the current comprehensive plan, the City Council, Planning Commission, Park Board and the EDA
will continue to take voices away, said Huhne. Huhne would like to have the current comprehensive plan
amended so the residents of the City of St. Joseph don’t lose their voices.
Approve Agenda: Kluesner motioned to approve the agenda; seconded by Loso and passed
unanimously by those present.

4f. Surplus Property Declaration: O’Neill informed the Council that the snowmobile, trailer and rescue sled
are in rough shape. Currently, there is a bid on the snowmobile for $500. O’Neill asked the Council if they
would like to leave the bid open longer to see if a higher bid may come in on the snowmobile. O’Neill also
informed the Council that the Rockville Fire Department agreed to pay $500 for the trailer and rescue
sled. Taufen felt the current bids for the snowmobile and trailer/rescue sled were fair prices for the shape
they are in also noting we would be able to call on Rockville for mutual aid in the event we needed the
trailer and rescue sled.
Kluesner motioned to approve selling trailer and rescue sled to Rockville Fire Department for
$500.00, continue accepting bids on the snowmobile until January 11th, 2023; seconded by
Schultz and passed unanimously by those present.
Consideration of adoption of Resolution 2022-061 Adopting the Final 2023 Budget; Five-Year Capital
Plans, and Final 2022 Tax Levy, Collectible in 2023: Bartlett reported to the Council there were no
changes since the truth in taxation meeting held on December 5, 2022.
December 19, 2022

Loso brought up using 2022’s surplus revenue which is estimated to be $75,000 and is generally rolled
over into the 390-Fund for emergency and unplanned expensed into the general fund to offset the 2023
Preliminary Budget. Bartlett informed the Council that would bring down the tax 1.5 percent which
translates to about $25.00 on a home valued at approximately $250,000. Loso went on to say this would
be an effort showed by the Council to the constituents as a way help offset tax increases. Bartlett shared
with the Council that $85,000 from the LGA is earmarked to go into the 390-Fund. Since the $75,000
surplus is a rough estimate, it would be cleaner to use the earmarked LGA funds to put toward the
general fund.
Loso motioned to approve using $75,000 of the LGA Funds to dedicate to reducing taxes;
seconded by Hazen and passed unanimously by those present.
Kluesner moved to adopt Resolution 2022-061 Adopting the Final 2023 Budget with the $75K
reallocation of Local Government Aid from Fund 390 to the General Fund; Five- Year Capital
Plans, and Final 2022 Tax Levy, Collectible in 2023; seconded by Hazen and passed unanimously.
Consideration of adoption of Ordinance 2022-012 Establishing Ordinance 614 Cannabinoid Products:
Klein gave an overview of the draft ordinance before the Council which would regulate the sale of
Cannabinoid Products. Previously, Council approved a Moratorium July 18th, 2022, on the sale of these
products for the period of a year. Council had asked staff to draft an ordinance and gather information
from nearby cities. The draft ordinance before the Council is derived from St. Cloud’s ordinance which
was reviewed by Sue Dege and adjusted to reflect the needs of St. Joseph. The draft ordinance would
establish a licensing process on the sale of hemp derived THC food and beverages in the City. It also
addresses licensing and rules, sales management controls, identification requirements, enforcement,
compliance, and licensing fees. The licensing process would be consistent with liquor and tobacco
licensing in that the Police Department would conduct background checks for initial applicants.
Compliance checks would also be conducted by the Police Department. Licenses would be due annually
and valid from January 1st thru December 31st. Approval of this ordinance would repeal Ordinance 2022-
007 which established the Moratorium on the sale of Cannabinoid products.
Kluesner opened the discussion by asking whether or not the City has to allow the sale of CBD products
in St. Joseph. Schultz mentioned the Council can keep the moratorium indefinitely if they want to. Loso
mentioned that not passing an ordinance may limit and or deter business. Hazen pointed out the drafted
ordinance states that businesses must pass a background check and if the license is granted it must be
approved or denied by the Police Chief as well as the Council. Hazen went on to say if a business wants
to sell CBD products there is an extensive procedure to obtain licensing. Schultz shared there are many
cities that are not passing any ordinances and plan to stay under a moratorium until something becomes
clearer from the state legislature. Schultz explained to the Council the state is giving the City the
authority to regulate the sale of Cannabinoid products, but they are not requiring cities to allow the sale of
the products. Schultz shared at the League of MN Cities meeting the League recommends having some
ordinance in place in case a business does want to sell it, this way the City can monitor and regulate it.
Hazen moved to adopt Ordinance 2022-012 Establishing Ordinance 614 Cannabinoid Products;
seconded by Schultz.

Engineering: Sabart gave an update on the sanitary sewer flow assessment recently completed on the
Birch Street 12-inch trunk line sewer. The objective of the assessment was to determine available
capacity of the current system based on current sanitary sewer flow. The assessment will help the City
with planning as it pertains to the possible addition of a new force main discharge within the system. The
conclusion of the assessment presents a few key findings:
• The average flow rate is approximately 57.5 gpm; peak flow rate of 125.6 gpm.
• CSB was found to produce more than 50 percent of the observed flow.
• The Birch Street trunkline sewer was found to be using about 18% of its design capacity, leaving
82% of remaining capacity.
December 19, 2022
Page 3 of 3
Council asked Sabart with the remaining capacity how that would project into an additional development
to the west. Sabart shared with Council that while there is remaining capacity; the size, density, and land
use of the Gateway Development as well as future CSB enrollment numbers and Sisters of St. Benedict
property would play a role in how much more flow could be handled by the Birch Street trunk line.
Department Reports: The department heads presented their monthly reports to the Council.
Mayor and Council Reports and Miscellaneous business: Hazen sighted this was his last meeting as a
Councilmember. He thanked Staff and Council for all their hard work and for the opportunity to serve the
Community.
Schultz thanked Hazen for his hard work and perspective while serving as a Councilmember. Schultz
shared the Executive Director of the League of MN Cities is retiring in May 2023, a replacement is being
sought by March 2023.
Closed Meeting: Pursuant to MN Statute 13D, Subd. 3(c)(3), the City Council will enter into a closed
session to discuss terms of a purchase agreement for a portion of PID 84.53360.0006. Schultz moved to
enter into closed session; seconded by Hazen and passed unanimously by those present.
Upon coming out of the closed session, Hazen moved to approve the purchase agreement for a
portion of PID 84.53360.0006. The motion was seconded by Loso and passed unanimously by
those present.
Hazen moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:38 PM; seconded by Kluesner and passed unanimously
by those present.
