APPROVE AGENDA Councilmember Soderberg pulled item 7c) Adopt Ordinance Amending Senior Center Advisory Board Ordinance for discussion. Councilmember Fogarty pulled item 7a) Council Minutes (5/17/04 Regular) to abstain. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty to approve the Agenda. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 5. ANNOUNCEMENTS a) Bond Rating Upgrade - Finance As of June 1,2004 Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the City's credit rating from A3 to A2. This was a result of Moody's surveillance efforts. 6. CITIZEN COMMENTS a) Response to Farmington Lanes Comments Ms. Pam Elvestad, representing Farmington Lanes, brought up several concerns at the May 17 Council Meeting. As far as the request for diagonal parking, the back of the cars would protrude into the driving lane. Staff did not recommend this option. Staff provided a drawing showing parallel parking across the street in front of Marigold Foods. Having no parking in front of Marigold would restrict parking for Farmington Lanes. Parking should be restricted within 10 feet of the Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 2 fire hydrants. There is now a sidewalk along Pine Street leading to Farmington Lanes. Mr. Dick Pietsch, Farmington Lanes, felt there has been a problem for quite some time, especially since Marigold put their loading dock facing Farmington Lanes. The truck has to back in. They are constantly asking for cars to be moved from one side ofthe street to the other so the trucks can make the turn. The trucks have driven alongside the building to back in straight and left deep ruts in the boulevard. For parallel parking 7-8 ft. is needed for each vehicle. If that is on both sides of the street, that uses 16 ft. out of32 ft. He feels it is unsafe to open the car doors and for children getting out on the street. Traffic has 16-17 ft. to pass through. He would like to ban parking on the Marigold side. The trucks could get closer to the curb to swing around and back in. There is currently a 6 ft. sidewalk. Between the two entrances there is a ramp to make it easier for handicap access. At the end of the sidewalk going into the parking lot, the sidewalk will have a ramp. They will have two handicap parking spaces at the entrance to the parking lot. The ramp is taking up two spots, two will be used for handicap parking, and there would have been five spaces across the street, so they are losing 9 parking spaces. The way the sidewalk goes across the front of the building, it looks like there will be a 1 ft. gap. Ifthe inside border stays where it is, have a 5 ft. sidewalk, allow 2 ft. for a bumper to go over the curb, there is 13 ft. to where the curb will be. A car takes 17 ft., which means the car would be sticking out 4 ft. into the street, from 32 ft. leaves 28 ft. for vehicles to pass by. This leaves it easier to get the trucks in and out and no parking spaces are lost. Angle parking is more welcoming to customers. It is safer getting out of the car and onto the sidewalk. Mr. Pietsch feels this would benefit both businesses. Mayor Ristow asked ifhe has ever had a problem with snow piling up between the curb and the building. Mr. Pietsch replied they wait until the streets are plowed and then the service cleans the curb, sidewalk, and parking lot. There would be an opening shoveled on the curb, but someone would always park in front of the opening. Staff will respond at the next Council Meeting. b) Mr. Mike Heinzerling Mr. Mike Heinzerling, 4889 1 92nd Street W, requested Council waive two fees listed as a benefit charge. One is for sewer for $1,780 and one for water for $1,220, which equals $3,000. Mr. Heinzerling and Mr. Pete Elvestad bought the property at 101 5th Street and split the lot. They were told it would cost $100 to split the lot, and they applied for the waiver of plat in October 2002. In October 2003 they received a permit to build a house at 107 5th Street. In December they were notified the two benefit charges were overlooked and needed to be paid. At the same time the Main Street improvement project was approved. Right now the street is torn up in front of 101 and 107 5th Street for new water, curb, and gutter. They do not see a reason for the benefit charge as the charge is based on the existing system. Since they never paid for an assessment when the system was originally put in, the benefit charge is based on splitting the lot and paying for a Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 3 benefit of hooking up to the existing system. They are appealing this because the $3,000 fee is based on the existing system which is being torn up. They do not have a problem with paying the $6,000 assessment for the new water, sewer, and street as they knew it was coming, however, they were not notified of the assessment. They look at it from the standpoint of being fair and it being a benefit to hooking up to an existing system. Mr. Heinzerling stated it was not explained to them from the start. He recommended the fee be listed as a fee for splitting lots and people be told there is this benefit charge. It should be detailed enough to let people know. He asked Council to waive these two fees. He was aware other people have paid this fee, but he knows of one property where it was missed. He also spoke with someone that had a builder build a home on the old Catholic church property. The fee came up after the fact, and the builder paid for it. Mr. Elvestad has put $3,000 in the City's escrow so they could obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. Councilmember Fogarty asked if construction had already started when they were told of this fee. Mr. Heinzerling replied they received the permit in October 2003 and the house was framed and enclosed and they were notified on December 15, that the fee was overlooked. It had siding and windows in, but nothing was done on the inside. Staffwill reply at the next Council Meeting. 7. CONSENT AGENDA MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fitch to approve Council Minutes 5/17/04 Regular. Voting for: Ristow, Fitch, Soderberg. Abstain: Fogarty. MOTION CARRIED. c) Adopt Ordinance - Amending Senior Center Advisory Board Ordinance - Parks and Recreation Councilmember Soderberg noticed under Qualifications it reads, "Members shall be citizens of the United States and shall reside or work in the City of Farmington, Empire, Castle Rock or Eureka Townships." The policy up to now has been that members have to live in the City to serve on other boards. Councilmember Soderberg asked if Council wanted to continue to include people that work in the City, but live elsewhere. Council agreed to strike "or work" from the ordinance to be consistent with other commissions. Councilmember Soderberg noted under terms it stated that members could serve two consecutive terms and then be off the commission for one year. He asked if Council wanted to do this for other boards to get a rotation of ideas and fresh energy. Mayor Ristow pointed out that sometimes there are not enough applicants to fill the seats. Councilmember Fogarty liked the rotation. This year there were many applicants for some commissions, many of them new residents. It would be a great way for them to get involved. Council agreed to approve this ordinance and discuss it for other boards at a workshop. Regarding vacancies, Councilmember Soderberg stated applicants apply to Council, Council interviews them and makes the appointment. This ordinance reads that Council receives a recommendation from the Advisory Board and the Park and Rec Commission. This is different than in the past. Park and Recreation Director Distad stated this is the way the current ordinance reads, which is different than the current practice. The Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 4 Advisory Board and the Park and Rec Commission would like to leave it the way the current language is. Councilmember Fogarty felt the rules and the practice should match. Councilmember Soderberg suggested making the ordinance read, "A vacancy shall be filled for the remainder ofthe term by City Council. The Advisory Board and Park and Rec Commission may make a recommendation." MOTION by Fogarty, second by Soderberg to table this ordinance to the next Council Meeting and take it back to the Advisory Board and the Park and Rec Commission. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Fitch, second by Soderberg to approve the Consent Agenda as follows: a) Approved Council Minutes (5/24/04 Special) b) Approved Dew Days Permits - CEEF Fee Waiver - Parks and Recreation d) Received Information Capital Outlay - Parks and Recreation e) Authorized Renewal of Joint Powers Agreement Dakota County Drug Task Force - Police Department f) Approved Emergency Operations Plan Revision - Police Department g) Approved Appointment Recommendation Police Department - Human Resources h) Received Information School and Conference - Fire Department i) Authorized Advertisement for Bids - Rescue Truck - Fire Department j) Authorized Advertisement for Sale - Tanker Truck - Fire Department k) Adopted RESOLUTION R40-04 Approved Meadow Creek 4th Addition Development Contract - Engineering 1) Adopted RESOLUTION R41-04 Approving Drainage and Utility Easement Lots 2 and 3 Block 5 East Farmington 8th Addition - Community Development m) Approved Bills APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS a) Adopt Resolution - Vacate Drainage and Utility Easement East Farmington 8th Addition - Community Development Under the Consent Agenda, Council approved a drainage and utility easement between Lots 2 and 3, Block 5. The area is surrounded by 213th Street and lih Street, and is part of the East Farmington 8th Addition. The public hearing was held to vacate an easement that exists on the northwest corner of Lot 3, Block 5, East Farmington 8th Addition. There was some concern ofthe lots being too small. With this relocation there will be extra easement width required, 5 ft. on each side of the lot line. Lot 3 is 70 ft. across, and 20 ft will be lost. Lot 2 is 62.42 ft., and losing 16 ft. This size will still work for the house widths. Mayor Ristow wanted it explained to the buyers that these easements exist. Staff stated easements are shown on the Certificates of Survey and hopefully the realtors explain this to the buyers. This should also be shown on the map ofthe area in the model home. Councilmember Fitch stated Council's concern was coverage more than the lot size and not having enough room for decks. This is being reviewed by staff and Development Contracts for East Farmington contain language stating that decks are not allowed because the lot is so small. Developers need to inform buyers of this. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 5 Soderberg to close the Public Hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Soderberg adopting RESOLUTION R42-04 vacating the existing drainage and utility easement from Lot 3, Block 5, East Farmington 8th Addition. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 9. AWARD OF CONTRACT 10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS a) Consider Approval Liquor Operations Lease Agreement - Finance Staff has pursued a lease agreement with Schwiness LLC for new and expanded space for the Pilot Knob Liquor Store. The space is 4,758 sq. ft. in the Farmington Gateway Shopping Center. It is a 7-year term with an option to renew for three years. The lease includes a $40,000 tenant allowance for construction of the space and installation of equipment. There is an initial lease rate of$17.50 per square foot for the first two years. Construction should begin shortly with occupancy in November 2004. In order to break even, the City would have to lose 10% of sales. It still provides a positive cash flow even with the expenditure of additional funds for equipment in 2004 and 2005. Councilmember Fitch assumed by expanding the City would need to hire additional personnel. Finance Director Roland replied at this point the majority of staff is part time. They work 20 hours/week. Currently there is a Manager, Assistant Manager, 2 full-time clerks, and part-time staff. It has not been determined whether to hire additional full-time or part-time staff. Councilmember Fitch noted an increase in sales of 13%, but costs also went up 12.8%, which left .2% profitability. If full-time people are added, will we see a diminished return if sales projections are not as close as estimated. Staff replied that can be addressed at the budget meeting. The City tries to be conservative and it is possible the numbers will be a little higher. It is computed at a gross profit margin of23%, which has been at that level for the last 2 years. Prior to that time, it was 25%. With the anticipated increase in sales, if the profit margin were to increase to 25% that would give an additional 2% gross profit margin. Councilmember Fitch noted expenses are going up equally as high and was concerned with a diminished return. With a 7-year lease, the City will have that space for quite some time. Councilmember Soderberg was concerned with whether the 7-year lease was long enough. Staff stated the City of Lakeville feels Farmington is being too cautious and that it should be a larger store. Mayor Ristow stated the liquor store has been expanded three times. Staff added the state statute says if we incur three years of losses, we are obliged to get out of the liquor business. Ifwe should hit that point in the middle of the lease, we are allowed a sublet clause in the agreement and the city is able with the help of the landlord to sublease the area and the City would not be responsible for the lease agreement at that point. Councilmember Fogarty asked ifthere would be room to expand. Staff replied the rest of the room would Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 6 be leased. The City would have the option to expand the downtown store in the future or add a third liquor store. Staff reviewed a few changes in the lease agreement since it was distributed to Council. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty to approve the lease agreement as amended with Schwiness, LLC for the new and expanded lease space for the Pilot Knob liquor store. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. b) 2003 Annual Financial Report - Finance Mr. Matt Mayer, with Kern, DeWenter, Viere presented the 2003 financial report. The financial statements this year were prepared under GASB 34, which shows the long-term economic health of the City. There are two budgets under GASB 34, the original budget and the final budget. It was the intent of the City that $5.84 million in revenue would come in, $5.67 million in expenditures, and net transfers in were going to total $125,000. The original budget was for an increase in the fund balance of $296,000. In 2003 there were amendments to the budget, showing revenues of$5.7 million, expenditures of$5.76 million, and transfers in of $59,000 for a breakeven year. There were state cuts mid-year and LGA was reduced by $450,000. Licenses and permits came in at a level higher than anticipated so that budget was increased by $220,000, also recreation fees were increased. The final budget showed revenues at $5.68 million, $20,000 under budget. The investment income budget was $300,000 for 2003. Because oflow interest rates and market conditions there was only $110,000 in income. Expenditures came in at $6 million, $328,000 over budget. Community Development inspection fees were increased due to additional permits. There was additional overtime in the Police and Fire Department that accounted for $138,000. There was also more activity in Parks and Recreation which accounted for $98,000 of the overage. The fund balance for 2003 declined $348,000 to $2 million. Based on 2003 spending that represents 33% of expenditures, which is about four months of spending. The Management Letter showed general fund revenue was up 2% for the year. One significant change was the allocation ofthe revenue. For the first time in 2003 the property taxes made up 56% oftotal revenue compared to 47% last year. Intergovernmental aid went down to 9%, it was 15% last year. Five years ago that made up 28% ofthe general fund budget. The City is becoming more reliant on property taxes as a percentage of the total revenue in the general fund. As the City has grown the property tax amount has gone up. The drop in intergovernmental revenue is mostly due to state aid. Licenses and permits have grown with the development and is leveling off in 2003. Regarding expenditures in the general fund, they were up 14% over last year. 40% is spent on public safety, 31 % in general government, and the remaining 28% is split between parks and recreation and public works. Over the past five years the fund balance has increased with the exception of2003. The City ended the year with a relatively small drop. Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 7 Enterprise funds are classified to be run as a business. The liquor fund has been profitable in each ofthe last five years. Sales were up 13% in 2003 and because of that it was able to transfer $105,000 out to other funds. Regarding the water fund there was a drop in revenues in 2003 due to a leveling off of development. The Water Board has paid cash for the last 3 or 4 wells the City has put in. Wells 6 and 7 were completed in 2003. This would have had an effect on the cash and the fund balance. The sewer fund revenue was up 1 %, but expenses were up 16%. The City should watch the MCES charges. Staff stated this will be reviewed as part of the 2005 budget. This is an operating loss. The fund overall increased in the fund balance due to the transfer to pay for debt service out of the sewer trunk fund. The special assessments contributed to a positive increase in the fund balance. Solid Waste has declined in each of the last four years and showed its first operating loss in 2003. One ofthe reasons is an increase in expenditures for the curbside cleanup. Council will need to decide if they want to continue a policy of 100% funding of curbside cleanup as opposed to a small charge, or raising the rates. The Arena has showed an operating loss each of the last five years. Council should review how this should be evaluated in the future, and perhaps recognize it as a subsidized fund and move it out of the enterprise funds. The storm water fund was a new fund in 1999. It has showed an operating income each of the last four years, and a $34,000 operating income in 2003. Councilmember Fitch asked about the interest income and asked in 2004 where are we estimating that interest income, are we already in a negative position, and will we be in trouble at the end of the year. Staff replied the concern for 2004 is two-fold. The investment income is made up of actual interest income earned on portfolios. Over the last two years rates have dropped to less than I %. That combined with the investment mark down because of the rules, over the last two or three years, there has been increased investment income because the basis of our assets at year end is higher than the City paid for them. The investments are held until maturity. Staffwill review the investments at 6 months and this will be discussed at the budget workshop. Councilmember Fitch stated if we hold investments until maturity and they do not come due in 2004 then we will see a loss in income. If the market is going up do we hold onto our lower investments. Staff replied we are required to hold investments until maturity. Councilmember Fitch then asked Mr. Mayer about segregation of duties and if there is enough separation. Is the separation between the Finance Director and City Administrator enough separation with making the entries and signing off? Mr. Mayer felt it would be. The auditors are hoping for, and what we have now, is the Finance Director to have read-only access to the financial data. She can direct operations, approve the adjustments within the system, but has no personal ability to manipulate the records. That is the last piece we are working towards implementing. Mayor Ristow asked if the bonds are called in, would that affect the interest. Staff replied the investments the City holds are not affected by the investments we make. The bonds the City has issued are at the lowest rates ever. The City refinanced a number of the bonds, with saving $600,000 in interest income over 7-10 years. Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 8 c) 2005-2009 Dakota County CIP Requests - Engineering Dakota County has requested City projects for their 2005-2009 CIP. Projects include: CR 74, Ash Street, railroad tracks to TH 3 - 2005 CR 64, (1 95th Street), from Autumn Glen to TH 3 - 2006 CSAH 31, CSAH 50 to CSAH 74 - 2006 CSAH 50, Division Street to TH 3 - 2005 (preliminary engineering) 208th Street 195th Street, Flagstaff to Cedar Traffic Signals along Pilot Knob Road Trails d) Great River Energy and Xcel Energy Transmission Line and Distribution Substation - Community Development The demand for electrical service is beginning to exceed the ability of the local systems to provide. The changes would include the creation of a new substation in Farmington, and the upgrade and addition of power lines. The companies are proposing some east-west routes for connection. The companies include Xcel Energy, Dakota Electric, and Great River Energy. There was a public open house on March 3, 2004 which was well attended. The companies filed an application for a route permit on April 30, 2004. The EQB accepted the application on May 7,2004. The City has been informed by the EQB of a public information meeting on June 24, 2004. The EQB has until November to complete the process. There is a possibility of going from the Empire substation and run the line north to CR 66 to where the 208th Street connection would be made. The other option was to run the power line along 21 Oth Street. As far as the affect on the City, right now the proposed route would go through the Perkins property in the township and along the north line ofthe bus garage and the south line of two properties currently in the township. The owners have indicated they may be applying for annexation. The properties are located directly behind the American Legion. Some development could be occurring in this area in the future. Staff is concerned the power line could affect any development. Ifthe EQB rejects this route, staff suggested taking the route from the Empire substation and cutting north along Biscayne or Cambodia up to CR66 and go west from there. Staff would like to bring this back to the June 21 Council Meeting and inform residents this will be on the agenda for any comments. Councilmember Soderberg suggested Council approving a resolution with a route recommendation. Staff agreed this would carry more weight and will draft a resolution for the June 21, 2004 Council Meeting. e) Review Proposed Revision of 2020 Thoroughfare Plan - Community Development When the City adopted the 2020 Comprehensive Plan it included a Thoroughfare Plan. There was a large area in the center of town that did not have any arterial or Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 9 collector roads identified, because no development was proposed. It is bounded on the north by I 95th Street, on the west by Akin Road, on the south by 208th Street, and on the east by Hwy 3. Since then, through the MUSA Review Process, some properties in this area have been considered for MUSA. A transportation plan needed to be developed for this area. The Traffic Engineer believed three connections were needed to Akin Road. The most important connection was at 203rd Street as this has a connection to Pilot Knob Road. One issue with this connection is there is a little stub road that is not a city street and it is not paved. It goes across a private party's property. They have an easement agreement to allow them to use the road. To use this stub road for the connection would create an offset intersection, which would not be preferred. There are some property owners just north of this road that have approached the City about wanting to subdivide their parcels for residential development. Staffhas advised them to wait to see what Council wants to do with this issue. Staff requested authorization from Council to move forward with this process. Affected property owners would be notified, a notice will be published in the paper, it will come to the Planning Commission, and a Public Hearing will be held. Staffwill provide this information to Council to allow them to make a decision. Councilmember Fitch suggested bringing this to the MUSA Review Committee. Staff will bring this to the next MUSA meeting. Staffwill also bring this to the EFPAC meeting. 1) Firewise Grant Award - Fire Department Mr. Bob Curtis, Fire Department, stated this is a federal program administered through the state. The Fire Department applied for $20,000 and received a $10,000 matching funds grant. The townships would have to provide the matching grants, as the sites for the dry hydrants are located in the townships. Councilmember Fogarty was concerned that the townships have not been informed ofthis yet. Mr. Curtis replied the Fire Department has been in discussions with the townships for a number of years regarding this, but was not sure ifthey have been informed ofthe grant. Councilmember Fogarty stated this grant money has to be used by December 15, 2004. She did not know if the townships have this money in their budget. The townships should have been informed of this grant before it was applied for. Mr. Curtis agreed, but there was a short amount of time to send in the grant. The Fire Department has discussed this with town board members. Councilmember Fogarty agreed the hydrants were needed, but was displeased with the order in which it was done. By authorizing this, if the townships cannot match the grant, the City would not provide the funds and the project would not be done. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty authorizing staffto sign the Grant Contract with the State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 10 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a) Vehicle Noise Signs -Police Department At the May 17,2004 Council Meeting, Council instructed staff to research vehicle noise signs. Staff located two cities on state highways that have these signs posted. In both cases the signs were posted without state authority and posted by the public works department ofthose cities. There is no enforcement done and no tickets have been written. In one city it may have had some voluntary impact as the number of complaints has been reduced. Cities need to ask permission to post signs on any county or state highway. Staff asked for direction as to whether or not to request permission to post the signs. The Police Department does not have the resources to enforce this to the effect there will not be a problem. Mayor Ristow stated residents on Hwy 3 and CR 50 have brought the noise problem to his attention. Councilmember Soderberg was not interested in putting up signs without going through due process. The State requires the City to get authorization and in getting the authorization the City has to provide assurances that it will be enforced at certain levels with equipment and personnel. Council suggested the State might have personnel to monitor this, or seasonal help. Councilmember Soderberg agreed for staff to request permission from the State, but if any contingencies are placed on the request, that is where it stops. Council reached a consensus for staff to ask the County and State to post Vehicle Noise Laws Enforced signs at the entrances to the City. 12. NEW BUSINESS 13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE Councilmember Fogarty: Wanted to discuss the stop signs at 208th Street. The stop signs may be creating problems they had not anticipated. Last Thursday night it took her 23 minutes to get from I 95th Street to 208th Street on Akin Road. She saw at least 24 illegal u-turns with people pulling out ofline to go north on Akin Road. With school out, the stop signs will be under utilized. She would like Council to consider stop lights. This was an unusual situation as there were soccer games and students were coming home from a field trip at the same time. She would like Council to step back and see if anything was really fixed before the permanent stop signs are installed. If208th Street goes through in the future, stop lights will be needed. Perhaps a partnership can be created with the school district for installing the stop lights. Temporary stop lights would cost approximately $60,000. Assistant City Engineer Gross suggested keeping the temporary stop signs and authorize staff to conduct a study for warrants for stop lights. The permanent stop signs have been order and the order would need to be stopped. Council reached a consensus to halt the process of installing permanent stop signs and leave the temporary control. They suggested doing the study for warrants once school begins. City Administrator Urbia will discuss with the school district if they would contribute to the cost of signal lights. Council Minutes (Regular) June 7, 2004 Page 11 City Administrator Urbia: Three firefighters have been called to active duty. Mr. Robert Eibner will serve for one year, Mr. Joseph Tullar is attending a school to prepare him to go overseas, and Mr. Steve Lerbakken has been in Iraq for several months. He wanted to recognize them and thank them for their service. Coffee with the Council will be held on June 17. Councilmembers Cordes and Fitch are next on the rotation. The topic will be Council priorities for upcoming projects such as the McVicker lot, the CIP, and the budget Finance Director Roland: A workshop will be held June 9, to discuss the CIP, and the 2004 budget and goals for the 2005 budget. The agenda and CIP document will be distributed Tuesday. 14. ADJOURN MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty to adjourn at 9:46 p.m. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
