MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: PAUL SPEIKER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
DATE: APRIL 13 , 1993
The City and Paul Speiker entered into an employment agreement on
November 5, 1990 setting forth various conditions of employment.
Mr. Speiker recently requested the City rescind the agreement since
he has substantially complied with the terms for approximately 21
years and does not feel he should have the conditions hanging over
him.
At first I concurred that Mr. Speiker had performed his job satisfactorily
and met the conditions, but was reluctant to recommend the Council
rescind the agreement without professional opinion. The City has
received a professional opinion which indicates that Mr. Speiker has
the judgement necessary to fully understand this matter and the rationality
to know the ramifications if future behavior documents alcohol problems .
The City has the option of holding Paul to the agreement, but it appears
if its validity is challenged in arbitration, the City would likely
lose. Again, I would note that Paul' s performance and behavior has
indicated the contract can be rescinded and with the professional
verification, I would recommend the Council do so.

Administrator, City of Farmington

Farmington, MN 55024
Dear Mr. Thompson:
I am enclosing a copy of the letter Dr. Brauer wrote to me regarding
Paul Speiker on March 20, 1993. The charge for this letter is $75.00
which AFSCME, Council 14 has paid in full. I enclosed a copy of the
bill. Please forward $37.50 which is one half of the charge to my
office as we agreed.
After reviewing this letter from Dr. Brauer I would like to direct your t
attention to page four where Dr. Brauer states this contract was
strictly voluntary and it is reasonable to have an expiration date.
Further down the paragraph he talks of Paul's ability to make his
own choices. I have talked with Paul after receiving this letter and
Paul reiterated to me he wants all conditions of this contract lifted,
which includes weekly AA meetings, visits to Dr. Brauer, and sick
leave restrictions. I urge you to lift these conditions Paul has made a
total turn around in the last 3 years and is a responsible employee
and should be now allowed to run his own program. The time which
this contract was drawn up Paul was very confused and vulnerable
and he would have signed anything. Paul appreciates what the city
has tried to do for him but for the city to make efforts to continue to
hold these conditions over Paul would be harassment and
discrimination.
Paul expressed anger when he read page four middle of the
f
paragraph I quote " If, however, he is found to be drinking on the job
as he was in the past," Paul tells me he never drank on the job and
wonders if this is what the city told Dr. Brauer and if this is
1� -�.• 1. IQ
documented in his file? if indeed the city made this claim and this is
in his file we need to discuss this matter as well.
We have a mediation date scheduled for April 20, 1993 at 10:00 A.M.
I would like to know as soon asP ossible if we need to keep this date
and what the city's position is on this matter.
Sincerely yours,

St. Paul, MN 55107-1683
Dear Ms. Profant:
Mr. Paul Mathias Speiker, birthdate 4/14/40, initially
was seen by me when he was hospitalized at Abbott Northwestern
Hospital March 12, 1990. He had previously been hospitalized
for depression nearly five years previous for 10 days under
another physician. He was discharged on March 19, 1990, with
the diagnoses of :
AXIS I - Adjustment disorder with depressive reaction.
AXIS II - Personality disorder - passive-aggressive, passive-
dependent type.
Mr. Speiker took medication for his depression and was seen
in the office as an out-patient. He was promoted to foreman
on the job and saw a counselor every three weeks.
However, Mr. Speiker was re-hospitalized at Abbott Northwestern
Hospital on September 13, 1990. At that time he reported
feelings of anxiety, depression, and increased use of alcohol.
He remained hospitalized until September 28, 1990. During
that time a confrontation was held with his boss and supervisor
at work after Mr. Speiker "began admitting the extent of his
drinking at that time more facts of his drinking came out
and this was collaborated also by the discussion with his
two sons and daughters. " A discussion in the hospital with
Mr. Speiker and his work supervisors resulted in a talk with
the conclusions outlined in a "contract" that was drawn up on
September 28, 1990, when he left the hospital. A copy of this
"contract" is suppjlied with this letter.
Apparently Mr. Speiker had been having unexcused absences from
work which were likely the consequence of drinking. Likewise,
his drinking dramatically affected his psychological state.
Page Two. RE: Paul Speiker
March 20, 1993
His employers - City of Farmington Sanitation Department -
desired to help him through this troubled period of time
when he was undergoing divorce. They furthermore wanted to
insure that he could be an employee upon whom they might
rely. He was therefore discharged with the understanding
that they would have proof of weekly AA attendance, no
alcohol use on the job and the right to draw an alcohol blood
level if they thought that Mr. Speiker was using alcohol on
the job. In addition, Mr. Speiker signed a release of infor-
mation so that his employers could contact me at any time
regarding the general state of his health. These criteria
appeared necessary for the City of Farmington to protect the
safety of Mr. Speiker and to insure his sobriety during the
use of the sanitation department equipment. In addition,
it was a program to which Mr. Speiker agreed in that it would
insure his continued treatment for his alcohol abuse. When
he left the hospital his diagnoses at this time included:
AXIS I - Adjustment reaction with mixed emotional features.
Chemical dependency - alcohol.
AXIS II - Personality disorder - mixed.
Mr. Speiker continued on medicine for anxiety and depression.
He continued to see me on an out-patient basis and attended
AA meetings on an apparent regular basis. He was seen on
May 22, 1991 to return in about two months but did not return.
Mr. Speiker was seen again on March 12, 1992: At that time
he had been unable to work since January 17, 1992 because of
back problems. His employers were concerned again about his
absenteeism. A BECK depression inventory at that time revealed
no depression. At that time I wrote a letter to the City of
Farmington at Mr. Speiker's request. A copy of this letter
is enclosed. The letter outlined details of his medical
history that he gave me but for which I had no collaborative
information. i recommended from a psychological stendpOti
that he could return back to work at any time anc gthat .he
needed no psychiatric medication.
Yesterday on March 19th Mr. Speiker came to see me as corol-
lary to filing a grievance against the City of Farmington.
He presented me with a letter from Nola Profant, Business
Representative of "The American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO. " She desired a "written
summary of Paul Speiker's historf of dates of hospitalizations,
diagnosis, office visits, and what information you provided the
City of Farmington with over the past three years. Also, what
your current recommendations are along with progress reports
to date in regard to Alcoholics Anonymous. "
Page Three. RE: Paul Speiker
March 20, 1993
Mr. Speiker stated that his dry date was "two and a half
years agcy. " He states that he goes every week to Rosemount
AA but "I don ' t like to be forced to go - I like to go on
my own. " He has to fill out forms on each visit that record
that he attended the meeting. He stated that the union six
months ago came to him and asked if he had any problems. He
said that he had a potential grievance against the City of
Farmington because they had not provided any expiration date
or review status date considering the "contract" which he
had agreed to on September 28, 1990. There apparently is
to be a hearing soon regarding this grievance. Mr. Speiker
stated that he had his last pay increase one year ago but
has had none this year as there are negotiations going on
between the union and the City. He states he was promoted
to just below lead foreman. This means that he runs all the
equipment and he reports he got the highest license to run
the equipment. "I trained others in the department to get
their licenses to run the equipment. Others are angry that
I haven 't been taken off the restrictions. " Mr. Speiker
states he has not seen a doctor since July and that since
April 14, 1992, he has been back to work and has not missed
a day since then except his week of vacation. Yesterday I
found no evidence of depression and according to his report
he has been abstinent from alcohol .
This is a complicated situation. Certainly Mr. Speiker was
seriously depressed in 1990, was suicidal, agitated, and
involved with alcohol abuse. He was about to lose his wife,
possibly his job and even his life. It was essential that the
emotional lability promoted by alcohol be eliminated. To
help save his job and to probably save his life a "contract"
was arranged on September 28, 1990 between the City of
Farmington and Mr. Speiker. He willingly participated in
this contract and has been involved with it since. This
"contract" has been followed and has benefited all parties.
It does necessitate documentation of illness and was essential
last year when he was unemployed from January to April because
of medical problems. His employers had strong reassurance that
it was his physical condition and not his drinking that pre-
cipitated his absences from work at that time.
In any situation where an employee has a history of alcoholism
there may be many suspicions and unanswered questions. Communi-
cation is essential between the employee, the employers, and
any of the employee physicians. For example, in my evalua 14#
of Mr. Speiker both in March of 1992 and of this year I had
only his information as to vhat 'was happening. Sometimes such
information may leave out or sway various facts. My reports
are based upon his subjective documentation to me regarding,,._
the events since September 1990. I have not had any cattiaratr
Page Four. RE: Paul Speiker
March 20, 1993 pp
from his employers since that time.
While it is reasonable to anticipate an expiration date for
the "contract" Mr. Speiker voluntarily has with the City of •fr
Farmington such an expiration will leave him extremely
vulnerable to termination from the job. The "contract" ,
a voluntary, one needing Mr. Speiker 's cooperation and :he,ran
at any particular moment decline to follow such 'onttra t "
Thus, he can decline to provide evidence that he is attendig
AA, not give documentation as to any reasons for absenteeism, Qs`
and not provide any evidence from his psychiatric care as to ,../K
his current condition. If, however, he is found to . Bi,a
ing on the job as he was in the past, or having absenteeism 1v
from work without substantial foundation he certainly could
be terminated from his employment as either a safety risicor
a non-responsible employee. Mr. Paul Speiker has,.; the'"'3u ,...
ment necessary to understand this matter and therefore ha
the rationality to make a choice in hgw,r; e proceeds with his
employers. He h the rationale to undeilstand that if h
demands that the "contract" be terminated or if he declines tt
follow the "contract" that he takes a risk in losing his e
alo
ployment if his future behavior documents continued alcbh?i.
problems.
If there is further information that I might provide please
contact me.

Dear Sirs:
Mr. Paul Mathias Speiker, birthdate 4/14/40, was seen again
on March 12, 1992. He had not been seen since May 22, 1991.
Because of his current situation with his health and work
a report was requested and Mr. Speiker came to see me.
• He reports that since May 1991 he has done well mentally.
His physical status was compromised when he hurt his back
in the Halloween snow storm. He continued working until
Christmas but eventually it stiffened up and he saw
Dr. Alibony on the 6th of January. He was told to keep .
working but take it easy and was given medications. He
got written up at work because he was working slowly and
• his supervisors hadn 't been told about his back. Eventually
he went off work on a medical leave-of-absence on January
17th. He was operated on for a herniated disc two weeks
prior to this visit with me. His doctor is Dr. Kulisch
•
who feels it will probably be another month before Mr.
Speiker is able to return to work.
Mr. Speiker reports• that he hasn 't been to AA because of
his back. He denies drinking and furthermore denies any
severe depression.A •Beck. depression inventory that was .
done at the time of this interview showed him not to be` .
• depressed. His activity is good and he goes to groups,
belongs to singles ' clubs and describes himself in good
spirits with no crying spells. His pep and energy are
"the best that I can do. " He goes to bed about 9:00 or
9 : 30, takes 10 minutes to go to sleep but then may•• wake
up in three to four hours to go to the bathroom. He then
:sleeps again until 9 :00 o 'clock. His appetite is good but
he has lost some weight. He describes his concentration
and memory are good and that he is not particularly anxious
• or irritable. In looking at the future, he plans to get
back to work, continue with his singles clubs and attend. •
his Tuesday night AA.
•

0„ At this time Mr. Paul Speiker is on no psychiatric medi-
cation and does not appear to need any medication. From
a psychological standpoint he is ready to return back to
work any time his orthopedic doctor gives him a physical
• okay.
If there is any further information or help that I can
provide you and Mr. Speiker 's situation please let me
know.

September 28, 1990
Yesterday Mr. Paul Speiker and I visited with both Tom and
Wayne representing his work situation. As a result of that
talk several things can be said:
1: Mr. Speiker has a serious problem with alcohol.
2: Mr. Speiker 's absence from work was excused for the
day that he was admitted into Abbott Northwestern Hospital.
3 : That it would be in the best interests of Mr. Speiker's
health not to use alcohol.
4: That Mr. Speiker have no unexcused absences from work —
if he is absent from work he needs a doctor's statement
who he has seen that day that he is ill.
5 : That although Mr. Speiker is on psychiatric medication
these will not cause any interference with his job of
driving a truck.
6: Mr. Speiker needs continued counseling for his psycho—
logical problems and will be continuing to see me for
counseling and medication.
7: That his work absenteeism has led to a crisis and his
employers apparently will 'require proof of weekly AA
attendance, no alcohol use on the job, the right to
draw an alcohol blood level if they think that Mr.
Speiker is using alcohol on the job, and gain a release
of information so that they can contact me any time re •
—
garding the general state of Mr. Speiker's health.
8: Mr. Paul Speiker is medically released to return to
full—time employment Monday, October 1, 1990.

Attached you will fmd an advertisement for a Maintenance Worker position with the City's Public
Works Department. This position will be vacant as of 5/31/93 due to retirement. I'm requesting
Council authorization to advertise for the position.
The current employee in this position is a Maintenance Worker I. The Department has a need for a
strong background in Sewer and Water operations. These were some of the main duties of the retiring
employee. The advertisement has been prepared to give the Department the opportunity to hire either
a Maintenance Worker I or Maintenance Worker II position depending on the skills and knowledge of
the applicants. It is the Department's desire to hire the best qualified individual for the position. A
rating system and testing procedures will be established for this position.
The current budget has funding for a Maintenance Worker I position. If a Maintenance Worker II
position is selected following applications, interviews and testing, the Department would request a
budget adjustment to fund the extra costs. Funds for this Maintenance Worker II position would be
available from budgeted salaries for an unfilled Maintenance Worker I position. It is anticipated that
a recommendation to hire the 2nd unfilled Maintenance Worker I position will be made at the next
Council meeting.

upon the grade and quality of the material."
Item g - This sentence should include as allowable basement designs, additional
forms of basements. The sentence could read as follows: "A full
basement is preferred for the house except where the selected design
results in a split level, garden level type of basement or other
acceptable designs that are compatible with the site and area."
If the Council agrees with these recommended changes, the Council should pass a
motion to that affect. The next step is for the City and Dakota County HRA to
establish a development/administrative agreement governing implementation of the
program.

SUBJECT: Stop Signs
Date: March 31 , 1993
In 1990, the City Council commissioned a study by police and public
works to study existing and anticipated traffic patterns and to make
recommendations for changes and additions to existing signs.
One location specifically identified as a "future" need was the
intersection of 183rd Street and Embers Avenue. The 1990 map shows
a 4 way stop at that location.
As you know, in 1992, the Council ordered the installation of stop
signs at Upper 183rd and Embers, based on the study and citizen request.
The southeast area of Dakota County Estates continues to fill , rapidly
increasing traffic, as projected, through these intersections.
At this time, I am requesting authorization to install a two-way stop
sign for east/west traffic on 183rd Street at Embers Avenue.

DATE: APRIL 16, 1993
Wayne Henneke and I requested the Farmington Housing and Redevelopment Authority,
at their April 7, 1993 meeting, to combine their checking account with the City
checking account. The purpose behind this request was meant to increase
efficiency and uniformity of the accounting systems. The HRA board agreed with
the request of combining the City and HRA checking accounts. Therefore, I request,
on behalf of the HRA, that the City Council allow this combining of the accounts.
If the Council concurs with this request, a motion should be passed authorizing the
combining of the HRA checking account with the City checking account immediately.

Recommendation
Forward the preliminary plat to the City Council with the recommendation that
the plat shall be approved contingent upon comments made by the staff and others
who have reviewed it and extend the life of the preliminary plat up to two years
for Phases 2 and 3.
---� b. 7:30 P.M. - Zoning Requested by Wausau Supply Company
The management of Wausau Supply Company has requested I-1 Light Industrial zoning
for the entire 13 acre site which was annexed to the City by Ordinance of the
City Council. The reason for the industrial category is to assure the least
restrictive land use possible for the site. This is consistent with the property
across Trunk Highway 3 which also is a lumber company which is zoned Industrial.
Dakota County Lumber is interested in business zoning primarily because of the
setback requirements for industrial uses. However, an analysis needs to be under-
taken for the entire Highway 3 strip before individual business uses are sanctioned.
Recommendation
Forward a recommendation to the City Council endorsing the request by Wausau
Supply for I-1 Light Industrial Zoning.
c. Continued Hearing - Riverside Addition Preliminary Plat
The developer has established locations of both the flood plain and wetlands
on site. This study has resulted in a slightly revised plat that now has an
acre of wetland set aside on which development will not occur. In 10-9-5 (B),
it states that whenever a wetland is located on land being subdivided, the subdivider
shall dedicate such wetland to the public for improving, maintaining or protecting
the area for drainage, water quality enhancement, or other purposes.
Because the wetlands ordinance is new, it is difficult to determine if this wetland
area needs to be dedicated. The developer has indicated that he would not object
to such a dedication.
Other comments made earlier on this plat include moving the temporary gravel
turn around off of the pipeline easement and converting it to a permanent paved
turn around east of the pipeline. The only purpose of this road is to provide
access to approximately one acre of buildable land west of the plat. If a temporary
gravel turn around is accepted, the City will have seriously compromised its
design standards. A paved street that cannot be extended will have been left
without a permanent solution.
Another comment made when the plan was first introduced involves the four corner
lots in blocks 5, 6, and 7. Because of the 20 foot wide side lot easement, each
of these lots had only a 45 foot wide area for housing. The developer has extended
the plat by 10 feet to the east, creating 92 foot width lots and 60 feet within
the building envelope.
Recommendation
Forward the preliminary plat of Riverside to the City Council with the recommendation
that it should be approved subject to comments provided by the staff.
d. 8:00 P.M. - Conditional Use and Variance Requested by the FAA for a Day Care
Facility
A day care facility serving more than 14 persons is listed as a conditional use
in the R-2 District. As indicated in 10-8-5 (C) , a conditional use shall be

5. The Chair opened the public hearing advertised for 7:00 P.M. regarding the request
Dfrom Bob Speed to discuss a preliminary plat for Akin Park 2nd Addition situated
in the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of Section 24. The plat contains
97 lots and a well site which will be sold to the City. City Planner Tooker outlined
concerns forwarded to him from the City Engineer, the Fire Chief, Dakota County
Soil and Water Conservation District, along with his own comments on the proposed
landscape plan. Harry Johnson, the land surveyor working with Mr. Speed, introduced
both Mr. Speed and the project engineer, Bob Wiegert. Chair Hanson opened the discussion
to residents from the neighborhood who were interested in the cost of individual
housing units, timing of construction and when County Road 31 will be realigned.
Mr. Phillips asked if the property could later be rezoned to allow apartment construction.
The City Planner said that it could be petitioned at any time, but that notices
would be mailed to all property owners living within 350 feet. MOTION by Gramentz,
second by Thelen to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Member Schlawin
asked if the plan kept the bicycle trail that was originally proposed. City Planner
Tooker answered in the affirmative. MOTION by Rotty, second by Thelen to forward
the preliminary plat of Akin Park 2nd Addition to the City Council with the recommendation
that it be approved subject to the conditions outlined by the City Planner from
the staff and the engineering detail that will be required by the City Engineer.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
6. Chair Hanson opened the public hearing advertised for 7:30 P.M. based upon a
request from Wausau Supply Company to zone the recently annexed 13 acres of land
on the east side of TH 3 to I-1 Light Industrial. City Planner Tooker explained
that Wausau was interested in maximum flexibility in zoning since the business is
experiencing substantial growth. The first expansion to occur will involve new
0 office space that will cover the area that is now utilized as a septic field. The
reason for annexing to Farmington is to secure public sewer and water. The City
Planner also said that this zoning is compatible with zoning immediately across
Highway 3 and becomes an extension of an existing industrial corridor. Mr. Clarence
Krech, representing Corinthian Cemetery asked about other expansion plans of Wausau
because of its location adjoining the cemetery property. City Planner Tooker indicated

that future-storage'-capacity ve y likely will be' needed-BM-5Y specific proposal
has been presented. Member Rotty asked about future setbacks for expanded facilities.
City Planner Tooker said that Planning Commission policy allows existing uses to
expand utilizing building setback lines already in place. However, these are handled
by specific variance requests. MOTION by Rotty, second by Gramentz to close the
public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Gramentz, second by Thelen to
recommend that the City Council zone the 13 acre Wausau Supply property I-1 Light
Industrial. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
7. Chair Hanson reopened the continued public hearing for Riverside Preliminary
Plat which had been originally requested by Jack Benedict. The plat is situated
in the north one half of the SW} of the SWi of Section 30, immediately north of
the Middle School currently under construction on 208th Street. It contains 50
lots on approximately 20 acres of land. The platting process has been delayed while
the developer secured both flood plain and wetlands data. This information is now
available and it has resulted in the elimination of two lots which are now described
as an outlot which will become part of the .City wetlands by dedication. It was
pointed out by the staff that the plat drawing does not include a flood fringe line.
This will need to be added to determine which, if any, of the lots will need conditional
use approval prior to construction of housing. The City Planner said that the plat
has not been reviewed in detail by the City Engineer since the revised plan was
late in being submitted to staff. However, there have been enough conversations
between the City Engineer and the developer's engineer to suggest that the revised
plan will work. The largest unresolved question about the plat is that it has not
yet been reviewed by the DNR, the Corps of Engineers or the Board Of Water Resources,
each of which must sign off on the plat before it can be completed. City Planner
Tooker indicated that currently the underlying zoning is R-3 High Density. If the
plat is approved by the City Council, the zoning should be changed to R-1 Low Density.
Therefore, any recommendation for approval should also include a recommendation
for the land to be rezoned. The Commission also discussed the staff recommendation
that the cul-de-sac 'at the west end of 207th Street West shall be permanent and
on the east side of the gas line easement within the plat. The developer said that
as long as the opening onto the property west of this plat is wide enough to provide
access, he did not have a problem replacing the temporary turn around on the easement
with a permanent turn around. City Planner Tooker presented a revised planting
plan for street trees within the plat which would add some density to plant materials
and introduce the concept of clustering like species: MOTION by Gramentz, second
by Schlawin to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Thelen,
second by Gramentz to forward the preliminary plat to the City Council with the
recommendation that it shall be approved subject to satisfaction of the requirements
of the City Engineer, the Planner, the Soil and Water Conservation District, the
DNR, the Corps of Engineers and the Board of Water Resources, and identification
of the flood fringe area within the plat. The recommendation further requests that
the City Council set a public hearing for rezoning the land area within the plat
from R-3 High Density to R-1 Low Density. VOTING FOR: Gramentz, Hanson, Rotty,
Thelen. VOTING AGAINST: Schlawin. MOTION CARRIED.

8. Chair Hanson opened the public hearing advertised for 8:00 P.M. requested by
Radian Corporation for the FAA Center to build a day care center at the west end
of Locust Street. City Planner Tooker outlined the proposal based upon materials
submitted by Radian Corporation. The use will require both a variance and a conditional
use permit. Questions by the Commission focused upon the number of children to
be served by the day care and whether or not the parking lot would be large enough
to serve the use being proposed. Member Gramentz said that the building design
is being used in several projects by the FAA and he anticipates that the parking
is adequate for the use. Member Hanson is disturbed by the building design and

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
SUBJECT: EAST FARMINGTON PUD - ISSUES/CONCERNS
DATE: APRIL 1, 1993
The following is a list of concerns/issues which have been
raised by staff, Council, Commissioners and the public
during the East Farmington PUD process. I have clarified
some of the issues and those denoted with an asterisk (*)
are issues staff feels should be made as contingencies to
approval.
I. Groundwater/Surface Water
A. South - „ . ewer Iu?" :;b o (bids let?;

B. Basement elevation predicated by groundwater. (Will be

Title 4-1-5 - Building Elevations)
C. The PUD will have no ne Live impact on HenderL Wt `
Hwy. 3, Sunnyside, .et.•, TV ( It should be noted that
there has not been evidence given by any engineer or
hydrologist which has indicated that the development
would have a negative impact upstream. ) *
D. 4-Draingggisystem must accommodate Henderson drainage r

E. Surface Water Fees (Estimate)
- Phase I - $152, 000 - does not include credits
- Entire Develo ent - r$719, 000 - does not include credits
F. Surface w ter must not-exceed predevelapzaent *
G. Phasing of Prairie Waterway.
H. Will on site ponds impact Henderson?
I . Will City allow off site mining of the Prairie Waterway
during Phase I?

K. Townsedge Shopping Center to be acquired? (This issue
has never been directly tied to the PUD. It was looked
at as part of the U of M study to enhance drainage in .
Southeast Farmington, but is not vital to the project.
II. Annexation of Hince/Finnegan Property
A. Annexation t t4

is on the April 5, 1993 agenda. )
III. MUSA - Comprehensive Plan Amendment
A. MUSA must be extended to Phase 1. (Presently at Met
Council for its consideration. ) *
B. Developer is requesting MUSA for the entire 179 acres.
(Will probably be requested when Comprehensive Plan is
amended. )
C. Will Met Council extend MUSA into Airport Search Area?
D. There should be a, .,statement that; the PUDAftmetvtolo
guarantee MUSA expansion. * 2;
IV - TIF
A. As noted, the developer originally requested TIF which
was met with deep concerns by staff. TIF has
subsequently been withdrawn and, therefore, at this time
there is not TIF on the table. This does not mean that
it cannot be proposed at a later date, but it requires a
separate hearing process and the Council is not
compelled to grant it. It has been noted that any TIF
consideration would have to meet a strong "but for" and
"public interest" test, and the School District's needs
would be taken into consideration.
V. Ownership - Per Title 10-7-2 (B) site must be under

The developer has also indicated he would be willing

XII. TH #3
The concept of narrowing TH 3 and extending Spruce Street
was originally noted in the U of M Study. While it has been
discussed as part of the plat, I believe the City Council
and Planning Commission were looking for a written
verification from MnDOT that they were agreeable to the
concept, and if so, it would involve a separate study.
MnDOT has been involved with this process . Staff will again
meet with MnDOT on April 6, 1993 .
A. Is the PUD contingent upon written conceptual agreement
by MnDOT?
XIII. School Impact
A. Superintendent Pat Hanauer and Chair Warren Sifferath
were part of the U of M Design Study. A copy of PUD has
been sent to the school .
B. As noted previously, if TIF is proposed, the School
District' s needs would be given a great deal of weight.
XIV. Landscaping - Maple Street
It has been suggested that a fence with shrubbery be
extended.
XV. Other Concerns
A. Name of Development
B. Traffic Volume
C. Upgrade County Road #72
D. Off site sewer service (8th Street)
E. Will a commercial development be located at #31 and
Spruce?
F. Has the U of M designed any storm drainage projects?
(Bill Morrish has indicated that he does not design storm
drainage systems - that was left to the engineers (City,
VRWMC, SCS, James R. Hill and Associates, Bonestroo,
DNR, etc. )
G. 5 Year CIP (See item lla on agenda)
H. One year moratorium on development.
I . Potential conflict of interest - Councilmember Galler.
It should be noted that this is not an all inclusive list,
and that some concerns may have been overlooked.

MEMO TO : Mayor and Council
SUBJECT : Towing Contract
DATE : April 13 , 1993
Pursuant to Council action of March 15 , 1993 , a request for
Towing Contract bids was placed in the Farmington Independent.
A total of three bids were received by the April 9 , 1993 ,
deadline. Of those received , one was rejected as a result of
a background investigation .
The two remaining bids came from the current contractor ,
Blaha ' s Towing and from Marek ' s Towing. Copies of both bid
sheets are attached .
Based on criteria established by the City Council in the 1992
process , I would recommend that the Towing Contract for the
City of Farmington be awarded to Blaha ' s Towing.
As in the past, this contract would become active upon appropriate
signatures and receipt of the required insurance certificate.
If you have any comment , please feel free to contact me at your
convenience.
