SUBJECT: Billing for sewer services
DATE: February 3,1997
INTRODUCTION
Citizen comments at the City Council meeting of January 21, 1997 raised the issue of sewer
billing methods in the City.
DISCUSSION
The City of Farmington currently bills for sewer service on a flat rate of $63.40 per household per
quarter. This fee does not take into consideration the size of the household nor the usage of
water which flows into the sanitary sewer system. This billing system was instituted before
households in the City had water meters to measure the usage of water. The rate has not been
changed since 1986.
Since 1986, the costs to the City of sanitary sewer service have risen dramatically due to
increased costs from the Met Council Environmental Services division which arise from increased
demand on the sanitary sewer facilities. As Farmington continues to grow, this demand also will
continue to grow.
The City of Farmington is unique in the way it bills for residential sewer services. The majority of
communities bill for sewer based on the usage of water during the winter quarter (January through
March). This period is chosen because during those three months it is assumed that any water
used flows into the sanitary sewer system (that is, no car washing or lawn watering where the
water may go somewhere else). The winter quarter is used as the base charge for the sewer
billing for the year. However if households use less water at some point during the year, the sewer
charge would reflect that. The sewer charge per household would not exceed the winter quarter
billing. Water usage during the balance of the year (the car washing and lawn watering mentioned
above) is assumed to flow into the storm water drainage system which residents are already
paying for as a separate charge.
Billing for residential sewer service based on the usage of water would be consistent with the
City's ongoing attempt at having those who use City services pay for them in proportion to what
they use. Water metering has made this sewer billing option available to the City. Commercial
customers currently pay sewer service fees based on their water usage.
Consideration should also be given to this idea in light of attempts at water conservation. Those
persons who actively seek to reduce their consumption of water would potentially see financial
benefit in the reduction of their sewer charges.

BUDGET IMPACT
The City currently bills a segment of the residents in advance for their sewer service. Sewer
billing as described above would require that all billing for municipal services be done in arrears.
This changeover would result in one quarter of reduced revenues as all billings were brought into
conformance. However, this should not be seen as a detriment to the potential change.
Charges from MCES for sanitary sewer flowage will not decrease anytime soon. The City has
made an incredible effort in the area of flow reduction, but costs for sewer services continue to
increase as the City grows. At some point the flat rate of sewer charges will need to be adjusted
to insure adequate funding for the Sewer Enterprise Fund. Charging based on water usage would
more closely match revenues and expenditures.
SUMMARY
The City Council should consider whether to continue the billing of residential sewer service at a
flat rate to all households. We offer water service based on volume of water consumed and we
offer rubbish service based on volume of rubbish collected. The potential exists to bill residents
based on their consumption of resources in the area of sewer service as well.

statistics for County Road 31, and 2) Provide assistance in
obtaining a schematic of proposed alignment to County Road 31.
Discussion:
Staff has provided the accident information as requested by Sue
Courteau. For information purposes, those statistics are included
here as well.

City Council Workshop Minutes
January 13, 1997
Snowmobile Ordinance
- (
The workshop was called to order by Mayor Jerry Ristow with the addition of an Executive
Session called to evaluate the performance of the City Administrator.
In attendance were: Mayor Jerry Ristow, Councilmembers Lacelle Cordes, Bill Fitch, Don
Gamer, and Steve Strachan. Staff in attendance were City Administrator Erar, Police Dan
Siebenaler and Park and Recreation Director Jim Bell. The workshop was also attended by a
number of citizens and representatives from the Farmington Snowmobile Club.
Mr. Bell opened the discussion on existing snowmobile issues by reviewing the Workshop
Agenda informational items. A review of the existing City ordinance, current enforcement and
complaints ensued by both staff members. Chief Siebenaler reviewed a variety of information
concerning the level of complaints, current enforcement activities and proposed new enforcement
activities, with a brief discussion on staffing and budgetary implications with the Council. Noting
in particular that the level of funding necessary to more proactively enforce snowmobile violators
was unavailable in the 1997 Budget.
In addition, staff presented two options for Council consideration: 1) Restricting snowmobile
activity to certain trails and corridors and 2) a total ban on all snowmobile travel within the City.
Mr. Bell reviewed the Park and Recreation Commission recommendations with Council which
included the following: updating the existing ordinance; developing and conducting an
informational campaign; developing a snowmobile map; publishing an article in the City
newsletter; mailing rules and ordinance summary to all registered owners in the Farmington area;
adding snowmobile questions to a future survey; and designating a north-south snowmobile
corridor.
Mr. Bell presented Council with two maps representing geographically the two options discussed
by Council. After a lengthy discussion by Council, Mayor Ristow asked for questions from the
audience.
A number of residents indicated their support and/or opposition to either proposal. Of major
concern for those supporting a more moderate approach, was the fact that the majority of
snowmobilers observed City rules, and that a few violators should not ruin it for everyone else.
Of major concern for those supporting a total ban, were issues related to trespassing by
snowmobilers on private property, excessive speed, and potential property damage and personal
injuries which may be caused by snowmobilers. Representatives from the local snowmobiling
club indicated their support of City rules and welcomed the opportunity to work with the City in
educating snowmobilers in the community.
Councilmember Fitch indicated his concerns that snowmobilers were not being respectful of
private property and noted his concerns of allowing snowmobiling along the new alignment of
Pilot Knob.
Mayor Ristow indicated that the Council needs to more carefully review the level of complaints
over time, and ensure that the interests of all parties are adequately protected.
After further deliberation, Council directed staff to follow the recommendations of the Park and
Recreation Commission. In addition, staff was directed to work with the local snowmobile club
to develop a snowmobile map; to contact staff at the City of Apple Valley and advise them of our
regulations as it relates to out-of-town snowmobilers. Council also requested that staff bring this
issue back for review at the February 3, 1997 Council meeting.
It was also determined by Council that the existing ordinance should be updated and that
additional time and effort was needed before Council would make any definitive changes to
current snowmobile policies. Council also indicated that there probably would be a time in the
near future, due to rapid development within the community, that snowmobiling activities would
again be a topic of serious consideration.
Council concluded the meeting discussion to clarify their continuing concerns with snowmobilers
who do not observe City rules and regulations, and emphasized that the few people who do not
follow the rules may negatively affect snowmobiling opportunities for everyone in the
community.
Mayor Ristow thanked audience members for their participation and closed the discussion at
approximately 9:45 p.m.
Upon call by the Mayor, the Council closed the workshop to evaluate the performance of the City
Administrator in an Executive Session. The Council adjourned out of Executive Session at 10:35
p.m. The outcome of the Executive Session was that Council had reviewed performance
expectations with the Administrator and concluded that the Administrator was meeting Council
performance expectations.
The Workshop was adjourned at 10:37 p.m.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE WORKSHOP
JANUARY 14, 1997
-2-
1. Mayor Ristow convened the meeting at 7:00 P.M.
Members Present: Ristow, Fitch, Cordes
Members Absent: Gamer, Strachan
Also Present: City Administrator Erar, Police Chief Siebenaler
Guests: Chief Andy Revering and Sgt. Allen Campbell, City of
Anoka, Police Department
2. Chief Revering began with a historical perspective of the
Restorative Justice Program. The philosophy comes from the Maori
Tribe of New Zealand where it has been used as a form of tribal
justice for centuries.
In its modern form it has been adopted and used successfully by the
New South Wales, Australia Police Department as a proactive
response aimed at reintegrating first time and minor offenders into
society.
Sgt. Allen Campbell discussed the program as it is conducted in the
City of Anoka. The program has retained all of the original
components of the New Zealand program. It brings together the
offender, the offender's parents, the victim{s) and the Police.
Each of the participants is seated in close proximity with no table
(barrier) between. The offender and victim are directly across
from one another.
Each participant has the opportunity to express how the incident
has affected them and others.
As a group the participants decide on an appropriate consequence
and a formal agreement is drafted.
During the time the agreement is being drafted, victims and
offenders are left to IIBreak Breadll. This informal snack time
continues the healing process for both parties.
The Anoka program has been in place for two years. Guidelines for
participation include:
lljuvenile
2)first or second time offender
3loffender and parents admit guilt and
4lare willing to participate
Slvictim is willing to participate
The results of the first two years show that out of 150 offenders
put through the program only 1 has re-offended.
The Council next watched a 27 minute video of an actual conference.
The workshop was opened for a question and answer period.

4. Citizen Comments
Sue Courteau: Representing a group of concerned citizens in the Pilot Knob Road
realignment/construction project area. She requested a copy of
various statistics for County Road 31 - accidents, deaths, citations, etc. She
also requested a copy of the proposed final layout for the road and inquired
about the State Highway Patrol monitor. Police Chief Siebenaler stated he would
provide the requested statistics. City Engineer Kaldunski stated that the final
layout would need to be requested from Dakota County. City Administrator Erar
said the City would place the request for Ms. Courteau. Chief Siebenaler
informed Ms. Courteau that the traffic monitor was removed to facilitate snow
removal in the winter months.
Dave Pritzlaff: Stated he felt the traffic control on pilot Knob had been very
effective. Asked if the City would consider changing its
quarterly sewage billing by basing sewer rates on water usage. He felt people
should only pay for what they actually use. Finance Director Roland stated she
was familiar with the issue and that other communities based the sewer rate on
water used during winter months. She continued by stating she would research the
change if Council so directed.
Liz Garcia: Resident of Limerock Ridge. Stated residents in their neighborhood
were in complete support of the new alignment of County Road 31 and just wanted
it to be a safe road, because the existing County Road 31 was not safe. She
further requested the newspapers to run a public service announcement informing
the public it was illegal to pass on shoulders of roads.
Mayor Ristow read a letter of commendation and presented a medallion to resigning
City Engineer Thomas Kaldunski. Councilmembers thanked Mr. Kaldunski and wished
him well in his future professional endeavors.

APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
7. County Traffic Signal Policy
City Engineer Kaldunski explained the County's policy to Councilmernbers. He
stated that in order to have a traffic signal installed at a particular site, the
Council must first adopt a resolution requesting said signal be placed in the
County's capital improvement program. If the County included the signal in its
CIP, and it met the warrants of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices, then the County would fund 50% of installation costs which were not
funded through other eligible federal or state funding mechanisms. City
Administrator Erar further urged Council to discuss any proposed traffic signal
installations with the County Board to gain their assurance that the signal would
be funded by the County. Mr. Kaldunski further explained to Council that if a
signal was installed with City funding prior to its inclusion in the County CIP,
the County's policy was that they were under no obligation to refund any of those
costs. It was Council's consensus to discuss the topic further at an upcoming
CIP workshop.
8. Dakota County League of Governments Legislative Issues
City Administrator Erar stated that he had attended a League meeting at which
issues to be given priority during the 1997 State Legislative Session. The issue
of greatest concern at this time was the proposal to amend the highway noise
standards statute. The League supports expanding the exemptions for county and
local road projects. Mr. Erar explained that if the statute is not amended, the
County Road 31 project would be financially impossible for the City, since
Farmington would be responsible for 100% of the noise mitigation costs. It was
noted that although a waiver from the noise mitigation requirement had been
initiated with the State, it could take 6 months to 1 year before it was actually
finalized. It was the consensus of Councilmernbers to support the legislative
issues as presented by the Dakota County League of Governments.
9. Parkland Contribution Survey
Parks and Recreation Director Bell explained that the results of the survey of
communities' parkland contributions had shown that most cities require larger
contributions from commercial and industrial developments than Farmington.
However, he stated he had concerns with raising the contribution requirement
because of its possible negative impact on attracting new business. It was his
suggestion that Council delay any action on the issue until the new Community
Development Director was on staff and could provide his or her input. It was
Council's consensus to delay the discussion at this time.
10. Pine Knoll Sewer Connections
City Engineer Kaldunski updated Council on progress being made in finalizing the
sewer hookups in the Pine Knoll project area. He requested that the remaining
seven residences be given an extension to April 15, 1997 and, if connections had
not been made by that time, the City Attorney would proceed with legal action.
It was noted that the vacant home would have a sign posted inside which stated
that water would not be turned on in the home until the sewer connection was
completed. Dave Pritzlaff, a project resident, asked whether that included the
completing abandonment of the existing septic tanks. He was informed that it
did. MOTION by Gamer, second by Fitch to extend the date of hook up completion
until April 15, 1997 and to authorize the City Attorney to initiate legal action
against any residences not in compliance after that date. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
11. MCES Grant Acceptance
City Engineer Kaldunski informed Council that the City had been designated to
receive a $10,000 grant from the Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services
for I/I reduction projects. Mr. Kaldunski told Council that the City had also
been commended for its I/I reduction program. Council commended Mr. Kaldunski on
his work and success in reducing the City'S I/I and, thereby, reducing its
payments for treatment plant costs. MOTION by Gamer, second by Cordes to adopt
RESOLUTION NO. R12-97 accepting the $10,000 grant from MCES for I/I reduction
projects. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
12. Roundtable
Member Fitch - Stated he had spoken with a pilot Knob Road resident who had
expressed concerns with snowmobiling on that road. Brief discussion regarding
recent spate of snowmobile accidents and State discussions of ban.
Member Cordes - Commended Police Chief Siebenaler on the excellent workshop on
restorative justice.
Member Gamer - Reported that he had attended an ALF ambulance meeting and that
the organization was doing very well.
Mayor Ristow: - Complimented staff on the recent City newsletter.
15. Councilmembers agreed to take a 5 minute recess at 8:05 P.M. before

SUBJECT: Computer Network Server Upgrade
1997 Computer Purchases
DATE: February 3, 1997
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memo is to provide Council with an update on the City's computer network
purchases and the need to reappropriate funds to upgrade the local area network server.
DISCUSSION
1997 Computer Purchases
The 1997 Budget authorized the purchase of five computers for various City departments. These
computers, as approved, will replace and add new workstations to the current network system
configuration. After reviewing the wide variety of computers available in the market, Gateway
2000 computers were chosen as the brand best suited to meet City computing needs. Previous
experience with Gateway 2000 has been very positive.
Reliability, processing speed, component quality and life cycling considerations, technical
support and service response, compatibility in networking architecture, standard features and,
most importantly, cost were the factors most considered and evaluated in choosing this
manufacturer.
Network Server Upgrade
As some Councilmembers may recall, the existing network server was upgraded in early 1996
with additional memory, a tape backup unit and expanded memory. It was indicated at that time
the computer purchased by the City was ill-suited for that specific purpose, but that the City
would continue to utilize the server for as long as possible.
Staff was recently informed by the Local Government Information Systems consortium (LOGIS)
that this same computer is prone to "crashing" due to hardware configuration issues, and memory
conflict issues. It should be emphasized that this computer was never designed as a network file
server and, consequently, does not have the operational tolerance necessary to function as a
network server.
The possibility of system "crashes" raises serious network operational concerns due to the fact

Computer Network Server Upgrade
Page 2 of2
that data could be corrupted, newly installed hardware components upgrades could be damaged
and the network could go "down" without any warning to system users for indefinite periods of
time. Moreover, network system failures for indefinite periods of time would have exceptionally
negative staff productivity implications. Currently, the City has been using a borrowed server
from LOGIS over the last eight to ten weeks.
I have discussed this situation with a LOGIS network technician, and the City could possibly
acquire a new server "box", and install the previously upgraded components from the old server.
Similarly, the City would then use the old server as a network workstation. A server "box"
. essentially would come without hard drives, and other non-essential component options.
BUDGET IMP ACT
There is approximately $3,165 available in the MIS activity budget due to cost savings from the
purchase of the five new computers and network cards. Preliminary costs for a new server "box"
would be approximately $4,700 for hardware, sales tax and network setup charges, as well as
outfitting the existing server as a network workstation. The difference of $1,600 could be funded
equally by the solid waste and sewer funds.
ACTION REQUESTED
1) Authorize reappropriations for funding the network file server upgrade and workstation as
presented above.
2) Purchase of the five computers authorized in the 1997 Budget is for information only.

SUBJECT: Request From Lexington Standard
for Private Solid Waste Service
DATE: February 3,1997
INTRODUCTION
Staffhas received a request from Lexington Standard for private solid waste service.
DISCUSSION
City policy states that industrial solid waste service must be provided by the City unless
certain criteria are met. Lexington Standard has met the criteria that could release them
from City service and they are as follows:
. Total weekly volume has exceeded the 15 yard per week maximum.
. Industrial waste is a major portion of their weekly solid waste, which the City does
not accept.
Lexington Standard is requesting the Council release them from the City service so they
may contract with BFI. Staff has indicated to Lexington Standard that if Council releases
them from City service, recycling must continue to be contracted with Lakeville
Sanitation as per the City's contract.
BUDGET IMP ACT
Expenses and revenues will offset each other causing little budget impact.
RECOMMENDATION
Council approval of Lexington Standard's request to contract with BFI to collect all their
solid waste except recycling.

Nelsen Hills Farm 6th
- Approval of Plat
DATE:
February 3, 1997
INTRODUCTION
The Nelsen Hills Farm PUD was approved on October 17, 1995. The 6th Addition is a
continuation of this PUD, and contains 41 single family lots and one lot for a
wellhouse site.
DISCUSSION
On January 14th, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the preliminary
plat of Nelsen Hills Farm 6th Addition and recommended it be forwarded to Council
for approval, subject to the execution of a development agreement.
Some minor changes were made to the lot dimensions as proposed in the preliminary
plat to accommodate the wellhouse site. The City Engineer has approved these
changes.
Another topic of discussion at the Planning Commission hearing was the need for
erosion control on adjoining farmland owned by the Devneys. Michael Devney was
present at the hearing and expressed his concerns regarding runoff from the
development. Bob Wiegert, engineer for Nelsen Hills Farm, said this issue had
been resolved through discussions with the Dakota County Soil and Water
Conservation District and assured Mr. Devney that runoff will not increase due to
the development. It was suggested by the Planning Commission that Mr. Wiegert and
Mr. Devney meet to resolve the issue.
ACTION REQUIRED
Adopt a resolution approving the preliminary plat of Nelsen Hills Farm 6th
Addition and authorizing the signing of the final plat pending preparation and
approval of a development contract.

Amend prairie Creek PUD
- Stegmaier Homestead
DATE:
February 3, 1997
INTRODUCTION
The City received an application for an amendment to the PUD for prairie Creek
Addition. Staff will provide copies of the plan submittals at the Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
Progress Land Company submitted a request to change the land use on the Stegmaier
homestead from residential to office use. The developer has taken a creative
approach by suggesting the homestead be rehabilitated and redesigned as an office
complex containing 8 small offices with a common secretarial/reception area and a
small conference room. The developer will upgrade the entire structure and add a
new front porch.
The Planning Commission discussed the land use change during the public hearing held
on January 14th and after considering public input, recommended approving the PUD
amendment subject to the submittal of a landscaping plan for staff review.
ACTION RECOMMENDED
Adopt an ordinance amending the prairie Creek PUD changing the proposed land use of
the Stegmaier homestead from residential to business office use.

SUBJECT: Fuel Purchasing Plan
DATE: February 3, 1997
Introduction
This item is in response to Council direction in November regarding
the possibility of contracting the City fuel purchases through a
single contractor.
Discussion
In November, staff requested Council direction to investigate the
possibility of a single source fuel contractor. The goals
established at that time were: 1) Simplify the billing system
currently in place and, 2) Possibly reduce the price per gallon on
City fuel purchases.
Staff has discussed this issue and has developed additional
requirements for efficient operation.
1) Fuel must be available 24 hours a day.
2) In order to prevent time lost to travel, fuel must be
available at multiple sites north and south.
3) Billing must achieve a single bill for each cost center and
retain a method of cross checking bills.
After discussing a number of alternatives with current suppliers,
additional concerns arose regarding eligibility and market
competi tion. That is, not everyone could meet those strict
standards set, with the end result being a contract monopoly.
Continued discussions with fuel suppliers have resulted in
agreements to change current billing practices. Each Cost Center
would be billed separately with individual charge slips and a
monthly total charge calculated by the provider.
~his change would provide the efficiency and cross check capability
established as a goal. It is estimated that each month, 12 hours
are spent in separating and calculating fuel bills by staff, City
wide.

In order to meet the needs outlined by Council and Staff,it is
recommended that the City not enter into an agreement with a single
fuel supplier. Staff recommends that a uniform letter of agreement
be drafted for signature of fuel suppliers to the City. The letter
would require the provider to calculate separate bills for each
cost center. In addition that bill would be accompanied by the
individual charge slips for that cost center.
Staff recommends that any fuel provider willing to meet the City's
requirements would be eligible for fuel sales to the City.
In order to allow for fair market competition each fuel provider
would be allowed, as opposed to required, to submit a reduced price
proposal for City purchases. With this information in hand, staff
can make fuel purchases based on competitive prices and
availability. (Time and location)
Action Requested
1. Approve use City Fuel Purchasing Plan for implementation as
described.
2. Direct Staff to draft a fuel suppliers letter of agreement and
develop a supplier's list based on those letters.
3. Staff will return the final documentation for council action.

INTRODUCTION
The Nelsen Hills Farm POD was approved on October 17, 1995. The 6th Addition is a
continuation of this POD, and contains 41 single family lots and one lot for a
wellhouse site.
DISCUSSION
On January 14th, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the preliminary
plat of Nelsen Hills Farm 6th Addition and recommended it be forwarded to Council
for approval, subject to the execution of a development agreement.
Some minor changes were made to the lot dimensions as proposed in the preliminary
plat to accommodate the wellhouse site. The City Engineer has approved these
changes.
Another topic of discussion at the Planning Commission hearing was the need for
erosion control on adjoining farmland owned by the Devneys. Michael Devney was
present at the hearing and expressed his concerns regarding runoff from the
development. Bob Wiegert, engineer for Nelsen Hills Farm, said this issue had
been resolved through discussions with the Dakota County Soil and Water
Conservation District and assured Mr. Devney that runoff will not increase due to
the development. It was suggested by the Planning Commission that Mr. Wiegert and
Mr. Devney meet to resolve the issue.
ACTION REQUIRED
Adopt a resolution approving the preliminary plat of Nelsen Hills Farm 6th
Addition and authorizing the signing of the final plat pending preparation and
approval of a development contract.

SUBJECT: Fuel Purchasing Plan
DATE: February 3, 1997
Introduction
This item is in response to Council direction in November regarding
the possibility of contracting the City fuel purchases through a
single contractor.
Discussion
In November, staff requested Council direction to investigate the
possibility of a single source fuel contractor. The goals
established at that time were: 1) Simplify the billing system
currently in place and, 2) Possibly reduce the price per gallon on
City fuel purchases.
Staff has discussed this issue and has developed additional
requirements for efficient operation.
1) Fuel must be available 24 hours a day.
2) In order to prevent time lost to travel, fuel must be
available at multiple sites north and south.
3) Billing must achieve a single bill for each cost center and
retain a method of cross checking bills.
After discussing a number of alternatives with current suppliers,
additional concerns arose regarding eligibility and market
competition. That is, not everyone could meet those strict
standards set, with the end result being a contract monopoly.
Continued discussions with fuel suppliers have resulted in
agreements to change current billing practices. Each Cost Center
would be billed separately with individual charge slips and a
monthly total charge calculated by the provider.
This change would provide the efficiency and cross check capability
established as a goal. It is estimated that each month, 12 hours
are spent in separating and calculating fuel bills by staff, City
wide.

In order to meet the needs outlined by Council and Staff,it is
recommended that the City not enter into an agreement with a single
fuel supplier. Staff recommends that a uniform letter of agreement
be drafted for signature of fuel suppliers to the City. The letter
would require the provider to calculate separate bills for each
cost center. In addition that bill would be accompanied by the
individual charge slips for that cost center.
Staff recommends that any fuel provider willing to meet the City's
requirements would be eligible for fuel sales to the City.
In order to allow for fair market competition each fuel provider
would be allowed, as opposed to required, to submit a reduced price
proposal for City purchases. With this information in hand, staff
can make fuel purchases based on competitive prices and
availability. (Time and location)
Action Reouested
1. Approve use City Fuel Purchasing Plan for implementation as
described.
2. Direct Staff to draft a fuel suppliers letter of agreement and
develop a supplier's list based on those letters.
3. Staff will return the final documentation for council action.
