APIF, MOTION CARRIED. b) Preliminary 1999 Fiscal Review Preliminary review of 1999 General Fund Revenues and Expenditures has been completed. Revenues for 1999 exceeded budget by $93,234. Expenditures for 1999 were under budget by $61,423 or 1.7%. Variances from the revised budget include additional overtime and professional services in the Police Department, costs of professional services to supplement staffing in Community Development, and significantly reduced costs in Public Works due to the mild winter. c) Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization Draft Joint Powers Agreement - Discussion The Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for the VRWMO was due to expire January 1, 2000. An amendment to the JP A was approved by the City Council at the November 1, 1999 meeting that would extend the existing JPA to August 1,2000. There are two main issues that stafffeels concern the City of Farmington in regards to the JP A: 1) Funding of the capital improvements proposed in the draft watershed plan; and 2) Representation of communities on the Board of Commissioners. These issues were discussed and the next meeting of the VRWMO will be held February 23, 2000. 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 12.

City Administrator SEAL City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us l~ TO: Mayor, Councilmembers, City Administrato~ FROM: Robin Roland, Finance Director SUBJECT: Adopt CSAH 31 Special Assessment - Seed/Genstar Property DATE: March 6, 2000 INTRODUCTION At the Public Hearing held on November 16, 1999, the City Council agreed to extend the objection to assessment for the parcel of the Seed Trust property (P.I.D.#14.16500.021.00) until a determination was made regarding Ag Preserve status on a split to that property. DISCUSSION After consideration and numerous meetings with staff, Genstar has elected to withdraw their request for Ag Preserve status at this time. They have reserved their right to seek Ag Preserve status on a portion of their property at a later date. The extension of the objection may therefore be terminated and the property assessed for the CSAH 31 improvements at this time, consistent with Council direction. BUDGET IMPACT Assessments to this property will be City deferred until the property develops. Interest will accrue from the date of the assessment adoption, March 6, 2000. ACTION REQUIRED Adopt the CSAH 31 assessment for the Seed/Genstar property, P.I.D.#14.16500.021.00 in the amount of $343,906.78. Respectfully submitted, ftk*~ Robin Roland Finance Director COUNTY ROAD 31 ASSESSMENT OBJECTIONS PROPERTY OWNERS 4-5 Hanke & Paulson Enterprises PIO #14.25850.030.02 3a-5 Seed Trust (Astra Genstar) PID #14.16500.021.00 3b-5 Seed Trust (Astra Genstar) PIO #14.16500.030.00 3a-5 Seed Trust (Astra Genstar) PIO #14.16500.021.00 PROPERTY OWNER OBJECTION: Road improvement is of no benefit to property. CITY RESPONSE TO PROPERTY OWNER OBJECTION: In order for development to occur on the Seed properties, transportation access to County Road 31 will be necessary. The assessments for these properties will be deferred until development occurs. The Hanke & Paulson parcel, in the Industrial Park, currently has access to Pilot Knob Road via County Road 50. Within the next five years, Pilot Knob Road will be directly accessible on 20ath Street, which is planned to be constructed as part of the Industrial Park Phase IV. Independent appraisal indicates that benefit to all Industrial Park parcels exceeds the $2,a01 per acre assessment amount. Direct access to CSAH 31 is not a requirement in determining project benefit. CSAH 31 serves as a primary north-south transportation corridor, and as such, benefit is conferred to those properties in the project area. Independent appraisals validate that properties need not abut nor have direct access to the road and in all cases, with respect to properties south of 195th Street, the appraised value of the benefit exceeds project assessments. COUNTY ROAD 31 ASSESSMENT OBJECTIONS PROPERTY OWNERS 2-8 Wally Berglund PID #14.03600.015.29 1-8 Jeff Thelen, Thelen Cabinet Company PID #14.25850.020.02 16.N Michael & Elaine McNamara PID #14.02400.013.50 17-N Gerald Stelzel PID #14.01300.010.01 PROPERTY OWNER OBJECTION: Specific objections regarding access to the road (CSAH 31). CITY RESPONSE TO PROPERTY OWNER OBJECTION: Direct access to CSAH 31 is not a requirement in determining project benefit. CSAH 31 serves as a primary north-south transportation corridor, and as such, benefit is conferred to those properties in the project area. Independent appraisals validate that properties need not abut nor have direct access to the road and in all cases, with respect to properties south of 19Sth Street, the appraised value of the benefit exceeds project assessments. M /rvVft s tJ~ SfeClAt.- f'vh& Il/ tld (~~ Mr. Harvey Briesacher, 21075 Eaton Avenue, stated due to the nature of his property, it would be resold as a residence. He asked if a potential buyer would want to keep it as a residence, would he have to pay this assessment? Staff replied as long as the buyer maintains it as a single residence the assessments are deferred on the balance of the property. If the rest of the property is developed, the buyer would have to pay the assessment. The next category is specific objections regarding access to the road. Direct access to CSAH 31 is not a requirement in determining project benefit. CSAH 31 serves as a primary north-south transportation corridor and as such, benefit is conferred to those properties in the project area. The appraised value of the benefit exceeds project assessments. Mr. Jeff Thelen, owns property in the Industrial Park on Eaton Avenue, read the City will develop land in the Industrial Park and will be continuing 208th Street. He recognizes the answer for not having direct access. He questioned the acreage and how it is being assessed. From 195th Street south to CR 50 there are approximately 1100 acres of land. But there is only 734 acres being assessed. Staff had told him there are certain types of property not included - ag preserve, green acres, wetlands, and acres that the road itself takes up. He owns approximately 2 acres. He feels he is paying 150%. If there is one green acre, is he paying a lar&er portion to cover that green acre? Staff replied the way the calculation was done south of 195 Street, is the total acreage was looked at for 1/2 mile on either side of the road. Then the flood plains and wetlands were taken out, as well as the right-of-way for the new road alignment and the right-of-way for the streets in the industrial park. Since green acres and ag preserve were not part of the flood plain or wetlands they were left in the calculation. Mr. Thelen then asked who is covering that portion? Attorney Jamnik replied the City is covering it through bonding costs. Staff stated the City did not exclude itself. City property on the corner of CSAH 31 and 195th, as well as water board sites are also being assessed. Mr. Thelen then stated he has a gas line easement of 50 feet x 300 feet, he cannot do anything with. He also has a water drainage easement on two sides of his property he cannot do anything with. Staff replied they did consider those possibilities. The pipeline easement runs east and west. There are also two other pipeline easements that go to the north. Those areas were not taken out of the calculation, so those pipeline easement areas are going to be assessed except where they go through flood plains or wetlands. All the properties in Charleswood that currently are there have drainage and utility easements that ring their lots like every lot and they are all being assessed. In addition, all the property undeveloped right now that gets developed will have drainage and utility easements on those lots and in addition public streets which are all being assessed. Mr. Thelen stated the drainage easements in residential areas are just for that lot to drain to the street. Staff replied the front of the lot drains to the street, the rear of the lot typically drains to the back. Mr. Thelen stated what drains through his property is about 10 acres. Plus whatever comes off the curb backs up in the parking lot and runs in because the catch basin is not large enough.. He wondered if that was common that someone has to give up that much of a drainage easement. Staff will have to look at his specific situation. Mayor Ristow stated he did hear from Mr. Gerald Stelzel, 18875 Chippendale Avenue, that since his assessment was deferred he had no further objections. Ge next category is for those who stated the road is of no benefit to their property. A letter I was received from the Seed Trust withdrawing the objection for PID# 14.165 00.03 0.00 with the 4 fl ;. I ~ 1\1 JNl1T~s - SP€UA<." llflhlqq understanding this is deferred until the parcel develops. Staff recommended the objection for PID#14.16500.021.00 be extended until such time as further consideration can be given to a request from Seed Trust. They have a portion of this parcel which is only accessible from ag preserve land which is owned by another party. That particular parcel cannot be developed for at least eight years. It is isolated by a wetland and is not accessible by any other way. Seed Trust wishes to petition for ag preserve status for that particular parcel. Staff recommended that until such time that ag preserve request is submitted and addressed by the City that this particular parcel be held open. At the time designation is made, the assessment would be addressed. Councilmember Strachan asked if a corporation can place land in ag preserve? Staff replied they can only if the City allows them to. This is a City decision. Astra Genstar is asking for consideration for ag preserve since it is not a developable parcel. It is surrounded on three sides by ag preserve land which is one of the requirements of the ag preserve statute. Astra Genstar is asking that this be left open until that is considered. Councilmember Soderberg stated this is a question he specifically asked at the initial public hearing, if someone could subsequent to the hearing apply for ag preserve. At that time, Attorney Jamnik stated it would not benefit the property, or that it would not change the status of the assessment. Attorney Jamnik stated we would have to re-assess. If a property wants to go into ag preserve, they have to apply to the City. The City approves it contingent on all the criteria being met. The assessments on that parcel currently have to be paid. But if one of the conditions upon application is to ask for re- assessment to defer that amount, they would not have to make installment payments. The assessment could be approved now, but when they apply for ag preserve, they would probably bring a re-assessment request for that parcel and there would be another process to follow. By holding this open the City avoids another legal proceeding. The final category covers property currently undeveloped and does not benefit from the road improvement. Properties are agricultural, green acres or ag preserve. Under State Statute the City is not allowed to levy special assessments against ag preserve properties. When the property is developed, the City reserves the right to assess the property for road improvement costs. Green acres parcels will be deferred until development occurs. Interest is being accrued during deferment period. If it is a green acres deferred parcel, the interest accrues and is kept track of by the County. If it is a City deferred parcel, the interest is kept track of by the City. Mr. John Devney, 5788 212th Street W, stated he was surprised ag preserve property could be assessed. If this was not developed for 20 years, would there be an assessment due at that time? Staff replied the City reserves the right to assess the property when it comes out of ag preserve. However, if the property is in ag preserve until after the assessment period ends, it would be very difficult for the City to assess the principal and interest at that time. The City can only assess on a property as long as the bonds the City issued to pay for the project are outstanding, in this case 15 years. No interest will accrue on the assessment while in ag preserve. Interest starts to accrue when the property comes out of ag preserve. The three properties under ag preserve are shown as there was an objection to the assessment. In terms of a motion to adopt the special assessments, it would be with an exception to the three parcels shown as ag preserve. MOTION by Cordes, second by Soderberg to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 5 M )N ores - S fECI At... 11 //l~ Jqq Councilmembers Soderberg and Strachan stated if Mr. Chinn can provide documentation from the County showing that the value of his property has been reduced, they would reconsider his assessment amount. Staff stated if Mr. Chinn can provide information, the City should conduct a full independent appraisal of the property to determine whether or not the reduction on the part of the County still had the effect of actually reducing the market value of the property in light of the assessment being proposed. The City would have to fund the cost of an independent appraiser. Mr. Chinn will need to provide the documentation from the County to Finance Director Roland by the December 20, 1999 Council Meeting. Staff stated this document would not suggest there has been a reduction in market value. While the land value may have decreased, the house itself could have appreciated beyond the value of the land. r1 ~ I J Council agreed the objection to the assessment for the parcel of the Seed Trust property (PID#14.16500.021.00) will be extended until the ag preserve application has been approved or denied. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Strachan to adopt the special assessment with the exception of the Seed Trust property and the ag preserve property. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Staff stated objectors to the assessments have another 30 days from November 16, 1999 to pay the assessments. After the 30 days, they will be certified to the tax rolls for payment over the next 15 years. MOTION by Cordes, second by Strachan to adjourn at 8:50 p.m. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

DISCUSSION Staff received three quotations for the air compressor. Based on the quotations received, staff has elected to purchase a Sullair model 185DPQ-JD air compressor through the State Bid for a total cost of $11,685.18 (including tax) which also includes a trade-in allowance for the old compressor.

DISCUSSION My office has been informed that Fire Rescue Captain Tom Hemish has been elected to the position of Second Assistant Fire Chief, replacing Mark Fishback. In accordance with approved Fire Department By-Laws, Mr. Hemish is automatically appointed to this position, pending Council ratification. In accordance with City ordinances, the Office of the City Administrator is required to recommend all appointments brought before Council for ratification. Discussions with Chief Kuchera indicate his general support of department election results appointing Mr. Hemish to the position of Second Assistant Fire Chief. In light of Fire Department procedures in electing department officers, this office has no knowledge of any circumstances that would disqualify Mr. Hemish from appointment to the position of Second Assistant Fire Chief. Consequently, Mr. Hemish is qualified to hold the position of Second Assistant Fire Chief in the Fire Department.

DISCUSSION At the Truth in Taxation hearing on December 6, 1999, staff presented the 2000 Tax Levy information and advised Council that the Tax Capacity Rate for 2000, based on the most current information from the County at that time, would be 30.9%. As staff has discussed previously, the County's numbers do fluctuate and the City must wait until after the County's numbers are finalized at year end to know the true tax rate. Year end information has been received from the County and computations reveal a tax capacity rate of 30.6%. The 2000 tax capacity rate reflects a reduction of 2.4 percentage points or a 7% drop from the 1999 tax capacity rate of 33.1 %.

Friedges, Inc. intends to extract fill (sand) to bring to their projects in the area and they will occasionally bring in topsoil to assist in the restoration ofthe property. DISCUSSION Conditions of a Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction Permit Sections 3-22-5 through 3-22-8 outline the requirements for approval of Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction application permits and annual renewals of the permit. The Planning Commission and City Council review the initial application for mining a new site. The permit must be renewed yearly to assure compliance with the longer range overall plan and retain the ability to modify existing or to attach new conditions in accordance with changing characteristics of the site or surrounding areas. The City Administrator may approve the renewable annual permit, after consultation with appropriate City staff. If the permit is denied, the applicant may appeal the decision to the City Council. If a permit does not meet the conditions of the Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction Chapter of the City Code, the permit may be terminated and reinstatement of the permit may be granted upon approval of a conditional use permit. Reasons for a Conditional Use Permit for Reinstatement of the Wurdeman Mining Operation A letter from Lee Mann, City Engineer was sent to Mr. Wurdeman on January 17, 2000 stating that the mining permit for the property had expired because the deadline (December 17, 1999) for the renewable annual permit was not met. The City received the extraction application permit for the Wurdeman mining pit on January 19,2000. Therefore, a Conditional Use Permit for an Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction permit is required for the Wurdeman property before the permit can be reinstated. Background of the Wurdeman Mining Pit The Wurdeman mining pit has been in operation since the City Council approved the first application on March 8, 1995. At that time, it was proposed that approximately 5,000 yards was to be moved into the site and 50,000 yards was to be moved out and the excavation was proposed for 20 feet in depth. Annual renewals for mining of the Wurdeman property have been approved since December of 1995. The pit has been mined continually under the approved renewable annual permit until the permit expired on December 31, 1999. Inspection of the Wurdeman Mining Pit City staff inspected the mining pit in November of 1999 and found that the operation was meeting the requirements of the City Code. However, staff acknowledged that concrete stored from the CSAH 50 road project might be located on portions of the Wurdeman site. Staff recommended that the applicants determine the location of the concrete and prepare a plan to remove the concrete. Planning Commission Public Hearing - February 8, 2000 The Planning Commission recommended approval of the mining permit contingent on a plan submitted by Friedges, Inc. to remove the concrete stored from the CSAH 50 road project that was required to be removed in October of 1996. A letter submitted by Friedges, Inc. states that the concrete proposed to be recycled from the road project has been removed from the Wurdeman property as of February 16,2000, meeting the contingency required by the Planning Commission. Additionally, the Planning Commission recommended the hours of operation be Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This is consistent with the hours of operation required since the mining pit opened in 1995. The engineering division reviewed the permit application and has made comments on certain requirements in the City Code that are attached. ACTION REQUESTED Approve the Conditional Use Permit for Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction Permit for the Wurdeman property contingent on the proposed hours of operation and adherence to engineering requirements. ~:llY ~tted/7 l/1:~./? ~ Lee Smick, AICP Planning Coordinator cc: Lew Wurdeman, 5827 W. 210th Street Friedges, Inc. 9380 W. 202nd Street Lakeville, MN 55044 CITY OF FARMINGTON DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Conditional Use Permit # Applicant Name: Lew WurdemanlFriedges, Inc. 1.

Huber Estate DATE: March 6, 2000 INTRODUCTION Friedges Landscaping, Inc. has submitted an Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction application for continued mineral extraction of the Helen M. Huber property at 21 oth Street and Fairgreen Avenue. DISCUSSION Friedges, Inc. proposes to extract fill (sand), back haul topsoil for future restoration, stockpile concrete from projects for future crushing, and extract an existing crushed concrete stockpile from previous crushing activities. Reasons for a Conditional Use Permit for Reinstatement of the Huber Mining Operations There are three reasons for requiring a reinstatement of the Conditional Use Permit for the Huber pit. They include the following: 1. The City received the renewable annual permit for the Huber mining pit on January 19, 2000. As noted in the ordinance, the annual permits are renewed yearly and mining operations are approved to begin at the start of the calendar year. 2. In November of 1999, Mr. John Tschohl who owns property directly to the west ofthe Huber property requested that the City review the Huber site for code violations for the storage of junk vehicles and miscellaneous junk on the property. Additionally, he requested the City review the violation of a temporary concrete recycling permit that required the concrete to be removed by October 25, 1996. 3. City staff inspected the mining pit in November of 1999 and found that concrete from the CSAH 50 project continues to be stored on the site. Additionally, rubbish was located in the southern pit area, which needs to be removed regularly as stated in Section 3-22-14 (B) of the City Code. Temporary Concrete Recycling Permit On February 14, 1996, the Director of Public Works/City Engineer presented a staff memo to the City Council stating that the renewable annual permit for that year was for the storage of concrete materials from the CSAH 50 project. The requirements of the permit stated that the storage of the materials would be allowed between May 15 and October 25, 1996 At this time, some concrete remains on the site, therefore the mining operation is in violation of the City Code and requires a Conditional Use Permit for the reinstatement of the renewable annual permit. Background of the Huber Mining Pit The Huber mining pit has been in operation since the City Council approved the first application on June 8, 1994. Annual renewals for mining of the Huber property have been approved since December of 1994. Code Violations concerning Junk Vehicles and Miscellaneous Junk Separate from the Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction application permit, the City has determined that there are a number of code violations on the property. As shown by the attached pictures, junk vehicles, abandoned fishing houses and other miscellaneous junk are deposited on the Huber property. Section 3-3-3 states that the abandonment of vehicles in any place within the City is prohibited. City staff has reviewed the requirements in Section 3-22-14 for the appearance and screening of the excavation site and has determined that storage of inoperable equipment and rubbish is required to be removed from the site regularly. Although most of the junk vehicles and miscellaneous junk is not a part of the mining operation, it is directly adjacent to the excavation site and reflects on the appearance of the property. At the February 8, 2000 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval ofthe mining permit contingent on the submittal of a schedule to clean up the property. The City received a letter on February 29, 2000 from Curt Huber, representing the Huber property (see attached) that states that the clean up will begin in the spring as weather permits and will be completed by June 15,2000. Additionally, the Planning Commission required Friedges, Inc. to map the location of the junk vehicles, abandoned fishing houses and other miscellaneous junk deposited on the site for the City's information. Friedges, Inc. completed this project on February 22,2000. City staff recommends that the approval of the Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction permit be contingent on the clean up of the items in the above-mentioned letter by June 15,2000. Additionally, the Planning Commission recommended the hours of operation be Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This is consistent with the hours of operation required since the mining pit opened in 1994. The engineering division reviewed the permit application and has made comments on certain requirements in the City Code (see attached). ACTION REOUESTED Approve the Conditional Use Permit for Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction Permit for the Helen M. Huber Estate contingent on the completion of the clean up of the items mentioned in the February 29, 2000 letter by June 15,2000, on the proposed hours of operation and adherence to engineering requirements.

I, City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us /O~ TO: Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: John F. Erar, City Administrator SUBJECT: 200 I Budget - Council Fiscal Goals DATE: March 6, 2000 INTRODUCTION At the beginning of each fiscal year, Council reviews and adopts budget goals that will be used by staff to develop a balanced budget document for the following fiscal year. DISCUSSION The City's budgeting process and accounting format was developed in 1996 to enhance the City's underlying financial reporting capabilities and budgetary control systems. A brief review of the budgeting process is described below. . Primary department activities and functions are accounted for and budgeted within separate cost centers. Accordingly, all costs such as personnel, charges and services, supplies, and capital outlay associated with a primary department service activity are budgeted within a specific "Cost Center". This allows for greater reporting detail; a better understanding of what the activity actually does; the ability to perform costlbenefit analyses; and allows for independent review of what a specific city function or activity actually costs the City to operate. . The budgeting process actively includes department heads, line supervisors and activity managers in developing and preparing their specific budget requests. Accordingly, this also means greater participation by involved supervisory staff, enhanced understanding of budget requests and direct accountability in fiscal expenditures by City departments. Moreover, this process empowers employees in the budgeting process, allows staff to share their insights into how work processes can be performed more efficiently and cost effectively, and holds staff accountable for budgetary expenditures and meeting work activity goals. . The level of analysis and budget detail in this budgeting system is based on specific department activities using workloads and performance measures as key indicators of what is accomplished throughout the calendar year. . The administrator and department heads review budget requests using a "management team" process. Supervisors and activity managers designated by their department head present their individual budget requests to the management team for review. At this stage, all department requests are considered, reviewed, and prioritized by the management team to achieve a balanced budget document for presentation to Council. . Finally, the Council will be presented with a proposed, balanced budget document. This proposed, balanced budget will be submitted to Council for review, modification and adoption. Mayor and Councilmembers 2000 Budget Financial Goals Page 2 This budget process has provided the City with a more sophisticated, meaningful and accountable financial document. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) national budget award recognizing excellence in fiscal reporting recently underscored the success this budgeting approach has had on effectively managing City finances. Proposed 2001 Budget Financial Goals The following guidelines are proposed for Council consideration and adoption. These guidelines will establish the budgetary framework that this office will observe in developing the 200 I Budget. I) A commitment to maintain the local tax capacity rate at the same level as in the previous fiscal year, while providing for the cost-effective delivery of public services to a rapidly growing residential population. 2) A fiscal goal that works toward establishing the General Fund balance for working capital at no less than 25% of planned 2001 General Fund expenditures. 3) A commitment to maintain the 2001 debt levy at no more than 25% of the total levy. 4) A comprehensive review ofthe condition of capital equipment to ensure that the most cost-effective replacement schedule is followed. 5) A team approach that encourages strategic planning to meet immediate and long-term operational, infrastructure and facility needs. 6) A management philosophy that actively supports the implementation of Council policies and goals, and recognizes the need to be responsive to changing community conditions/concerns. ACTION REOUESTED Council adoption of 2001 Fiscal Goals as presented.
