COUNCIL WORKSHOP
MINUTES
December 3, 2003
Mayor Ristow called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
Members Present: Ristow, Fitch, Fogarty, Soderberg
Members Absent: Cordes
Also Present: Dan Siebenaler, Interim City AdministratorlPolice Chief; Robin Roland, Finance
Director; Kevin Carroll, Community Development Director; Randy Distad, Parks and Recreation
Director; Lee Mann, City Engineer/Public Works Director; Lisa Shadick, Administrative
Services Director; Brenda Wendlandt, Human Resources Director; Ken Kuchera, Fire Chief; Jim
Atkinson, Assistant City Planner; Tim Gross, Assistant City Engineer; Cynthia Muller,
Executive Assistant
Interim City Administrator Siebenaler added two items to the agenda, Office Hours for City Hall
for December 26, and Pre-Meeting Workshop with Mr. Harry Brull on December 15. MOTION
by Fitch, second by Soderberg to approve the agenda. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
New City Hall
Council had asked staffto put together costs associated with the various sites. Each option
shows the estimated costs of the various sites and the acquisition of various businesses. There
will be acquisition costs, relocation costs, and demolition costs.
Option A is 3rd and Spruce Street, the Blaha site. City Hall would be a two-story new structure.
Adjacent space would provide for 49 parking spaces. Staffhas contacted Dakota County about
using the library parking lot for overflow parking which would be an additional 56 parking
spaces. There are also 43 spaces at the 2nd Street parking lot.
An option agreement has been provided to Mr. Blaha and he is on the verge of signing it. The
acquisition cost is $257,500. There would be no relocation expenses as there are no existing
businesses there. The demolition cost would be $34,620. Moving costs are estimated at
$14,792. The total cost for the Blaha site would be $306,912. If this option is used, the existing
City Hall site becomes available for purchase. The estimated sale value of City Hall is $533,000.
Community Development Director Carroll stated this is $92,000 less than anticipated because of
the well. There is state legislation that requires the city maintain a 50 foot radius around a well.
This could be done through an easement. There are two bathrooms located in Engineering that
are within the 50 foot radius and it may be necessary to close them as there is potential
contamination within the 50 foot radius. The $92,000 is a partial reduction in the value of the
building and the land, and they added $25,000 for an estimated cost of relocating the bathrooms
to another location in the building. A separate parcel would have to be carved off for the city to
maintain ownership of that 50 foot radius. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated this is a
conservative estimate of the value of City Hall. It is comprised of 4 lots and does not include the
two lots west of the building that are the City Hall parking lot. Staff felt it would be important to
maintain the municipal parking area. Other options would be compared against this option. The
net total cost would be $226,088, making it the least expensive option.
(Councilmember Fogarty arrived at 6:14 p.m.).

Mayor Ristow noted on the demolition estimate it is stated no street or walk restoration, no
hazardous abatement. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated that is a disclaimer for all of
the buildings. Mayor Ristow then noted the Blaha building is located in historical downtown and
asked if it would need to be run past the HPc. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated the
HPC has asked to be advised of the process. As a courtesy that would be done, but the Blaha
building has not been identified as having any historical significance. Mayor Ristow stated the
building has a lot of heritage and started out as a machinery building which built Farmington. It
was International Harvester that was owned by the Fischer brothers. Farmington Printing was
the initial Centel office. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated those things would have to
be explored before anything could happen.
Option B is the same as Option A except it adds on the potential for future expansion at the
Feely site. Mr. Feely has stated he is not immediately interested in selling his property and plans
on being in business for at least ten years.
Option C looks at the existing City Hall site. This describes an expansion ofthe existing City
Hall to the north. This option slightly reduces the parking on the west side and would therefore
require additional parking spaces. An expansion to the north would add 40 spaces and would
require the acquisition of Farmington Printing and their parking lot and the residential lot.
Mayor Ristow asked what it would do to the well as it is within the corridor for the expansion to
the west. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated the well site would have to be preserved.
We would have to build around it. We would be faced with preserving the well site and the 50
foot radius or abandon the well site and relocate it to a different area of the city. Each option
contains roughly the same amount of square footage.
The acquisition of Farmington Printing would be two lots and the residential property. The
appraised value is not the amount we would be able to purchase it for. For Farmington Printing
the appraised value is $350,000. Based on previous discussions that is not an acceptable number
to the current owner and she is not anxious to sell. It could be a much larger expense to acquire
that property. As far as the residential property, the same family has owned it for a very long
time and the same party has always rented it. The owner is not a motivated seller. Relocation
costs would be involved for the business and the resident. State laws mandate how you do
relocation expenses. Since relocation is a very technical procedure, we would have to contract
with a consulting firm to do the relocation services. Relocation for Farmington Printing is
estimated at $61,000, for the residential property $9,800, and for relocation services $12,000.
Demolition costs for Farmington Printing are estimated at $30,800 and residential property at
$7,400. The total net cost would be $517,792. This is $743,880 more than 3rd and Spruce Street.
The cost of the building is not included in any of these estimates.
Councilmember Fitch stated the difference of building a two-story building versus a single story
may be considerably different. Finance Director Roland stated the task force looked at an
addition to the existing building, or a new building on the existing site, or a new building at 3rd
and Spruce, the cost for renovation and addition, Option C would be $5.492 million, Options E
& F were $5.589 million, and 3rd and Spruce Street was $5.589 million.
Option D would involve abandoning a portion of 4th Street between City Hall and the businesses
to the east. The existing City Hall would expand to the north and east, building out into 4th
Street. It would have the existing 36 parking spaces on the west side and the acquisition and
demolition of the Motor Parts building would add 51 spaces. The owner of the building has been

utilities along 4th Street that would have to be relocated.

Acquisition cost is $345,000. Four businesses would have to be relocated. The Motor Parts,
Chamber of Commerce, the chiropractor, and the dance studio. Regardless of the current use,
they are the tenants and are entitled to relocation costs, even if on a month-by-month rental. As
the Blaha tenant did, ifthey move out prior to acquisition there is no cost, but if they are in the
building at the time negotiations begin they are entitled to relocation expenses. Mayor Ristow
asked why we did not have to do that with Blaha. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated
Blaha's tenant was gone before negotiations started. Community Development Director Carroll
stated the City Attorney was concerned that if we got into negotiations with them at any time the
tenant was there, we would be obligated to pay. Mayor Ristow stated the tenant never left and
was told he could stay there until next September. Community Development Director Carroll
stated they may be using the space but he had a conversation with the tenant a couple months ago
and he said he found space near the intersection ofHwy 50 and 3 that he had moved into. Mayor
Ristow stated Castle Rock would not approve it, so the tenant rented space from Mayor Ristow
for two months and he is back in the Blaha building until September. Councilmember Fitch
stated he has more cars there now than he ever had. This was news to staff as they were told he
was out. Staffwill research the situation. Given the case of the residential property, the city
would be required to pay any difference in rent between the current house and a comparable size
rental unit for a period of time. The owners could take that as a cash upfront payment and use it
as a down payment on property of their own. The total net cost is $488,592 or $714,680 in
excess of the 3rd and Spruce Street site.
Mayor Ristow wanted to offer his thoughts on the present location. It brings back a historical
site that has been here 130 years and the heritage is what you want to look at in a city. The city
was built on the fire hall, the city hall, and the jail. That means more than relocating to another
spot. We have the time capsule and the old fire bell. That would be his major concern of taking
City Hall off a landmark that has been here for 130 years and built by our forefathers. Interim
City Administrator Siebenaler stated staff is not making any recommendations.
Option E is the most expansive of all options. It would include acquisition of all properties
around City Hall to the north and east. There would be an estimated 82 parking spaces over
what is available now. Acquisition cost, relocation cost, and demolition cost would be a
combination of Options C and D. This is a very expensive option at $994,592. These costs do
not include construction, only acquisition, demolition, and relocation. The values are appraised
values, not actual values.
Option F involves demolition of the existing City Hall and acquiring the properties to the north.
This would be a new 2-story City Hall on the existing location, maintaining the 47 parking
spaces to the west and 40 spaces to the north. This would also require a relocation of City Hall
to an alternate site, and then a second relocation back to the new building. The acquisition,
relocation, and demolition costs for the properties to the north would be the same. The net total
cost would be $591,193 which includes demolition of City Hall.
Option G includes a 2-story City Hall and acquiring the property to the east and abandoning 4th
Street between the existing City Hall and the Motor Parts building. The costs for acquisition,
demolition and relocation remain the same plus the cost of demolishing City Hall and moving
expenses for moving twice. The net total cost is $531,993.
Council 'IV orkshop

Option H is acquiring all the properties to the north and east, abandoning 4th Street, demolishing
City Hall and building a new 2-story structure on the existing site. Costs for acquisition,
relocation, demolition and moving for City Hall remain the same. This is the most expensive at
$1,067,993. This does preserve the most expansion capability for the future.
There is the possibility if there is an unwilling seller, the city would have to look at a
condemnation procedure. Staff has presented as many options as possible and this has involved
a tremendous amount of staff time.
Councilmember Fitch stated our ace in the hole is that we own property and if businesses want to
relocate we could assist them in ways that could reduce the cost of acquiring their properties.
Regarding future expansion, we have to preserve as much as we can for future expansion.
Unless the city stops growing within its borders we are going to have to continue to expand City
Hall to provide the necessary services. He would not be in favor of the 3rd and Spruce Street site
unless the Feely property is acquired right away. He was referring to Option B.
Councilmember Fogarty stated she was thinking along the same lines. The cost for acquiring the
Feely lot was minimal for parking space compared to buying parking space on the existing site.
Councilmember Fitch stated if we decide on that option, we have to be prepared to condemn it if
they will not sell it. Mayor Ristow noted on Option B Feely does have a building that holds
trucks and asked if that would be included in the relocation. Interim City Administrator
Siebenaler stated that is part of his own business and included in the $13,500. Mayor Ristow
asked where that would be relocated. Mr. Feely would want that close by. Interim City
Administrator Siebenaler stated that would have to be negotiated. Councilmember Fogarty
asked if we could acquire the property and lease it back to him until it is needed. Interim City
Administrator Siebenaler stated that is always an option.
Councilmember Soderberg stated he agreed with Councilmember Fitch that the acquisition of the
Feely parcel is important to do right away. As far as expansion, the Met Council has identified
that vertical is better than horizontal. While a parking ramp is expensive, it is still an option. In
one of the presentations by Wold Architects a parking ramp was included. Councilmember Fitch
stated the building would have to be designed to go up. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler
stated the architect talked about building in extra space. Finance Director Roland stated the
downtown liquor store is cramped. More floor space could be good and it might increase sales
and would help offset the cost of the building. The option of adding 4,000 sq. ft. was presented
to the Task Force for a liquor store. When that space is needed, a new liquor store would be built
in the downtown area.
Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated when the Maintenance Facility and Police
department were completed 1 V2 years ago, it was built for a population of 27,000 estimated for
2020. Today, estimates are submitted to the Met Council for a population of27,000 to 2010.
Any option for City Hall needs to be kept open for future expansion or build in expansion space
into the existing structure.
Councilmember Fogarty felt a ramp and a 3-story City Hall should be considered. This would
answer the space question. Councilmember Soderberg added with footings substantial enough to
go higher. Councilmember Fogarty stated a jarking ramp might be advantageous for downtown.
Councilmember Fitch stated the comer of 3r and Spruce could be used for a parking ramp as a
connection to the Spruce Street corridor and expand the current City Hall location.

Once a site is identified, staff would have to prepare an RFP for architectural services and begin
the design of the building. That will be a 6-8 month process. At the same time, staffwould
contract with an acquisition firm and begin condemnation procedures if necessary. If a decision
can be made soon staff has looked at one alternate location for the relocation of City Hall
services. Staffhas contacted the owners of the hospital regarding temporarily relocating City
Hall to that location at a very favorable rent. All of these things need to begin, but they cannot
begin until a decision is made. Mayor Ristow stated with Option D, adding onto City Hall you
would not need to relocate. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated certain parts of the
operation might be disrupted at certain times. The whole building would need to be revamped
for HV AC and a sprinkler system. Any modification to the hospital would be at the city's
expense. The T1 lines for connecting computers to various sites would not be available as there
are no fiber optic lines running from the school to the hospital.
Interim City Administrator Siebenaler asked Council to please make a decision or give staff
further direction. Councilmember Soderberg favored 3r and Spruce Street. That is the most
fiscally responsible site. Councilmember Fogarty supported Option B. She would very much
like to look at a parking ramp and a 3-story City Hall at 3rd and Spruce Street. This would
address expansion and parking concerns. Councilmember Fitch stated he had questions on
fmancing and what it will cost taxpayers, each individual household. Finance Director Roland
stated it is spread evenly between residential and commercial. Ifit goes to referendum the G.O.
Revenue Bond is based on market value and leans more toward residential properties.
Councilmember Fitch stated we took a lot of heat for a $60,000-$70,000 expense, and by the
time you put in a parking ramp and a 3 -story building you are talking $10 - $11 million. The
school's recent referendum was turned down. Taxpayers are very aware of how schools and
cities are spending their money. He would work with this, but would want substantial public
input. Mayor Ristow stated we need to make a decision, but not tonight. Once we have the site,
we need to decide how to pay for it. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated there are some
steps in between that. We need to figure out the actual cost and preliminary design. Then
include acquisitions, look at bonding and financing costs. Mayor Ristow stated if we decide on
Options A, C, or D can we get more concrete figures, including the cost ofthe land on Option A,
a cost for the ramp, and a cost for the Motor Parts building. Interim City Administrator
Siebenaler stated we can put together a contract with an appraisal company. All ofthe
landowners have been blind to this until today. The owners have not been contacted as to their
own estimate of the value ofthe buildings and no walkthroughs have been done. Staff could hire
a consultant to contact the owners or staff could contact them. The owners have only been
informed this is being considered as an option. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler suggested
contracting with a consultant to obtain the estimates. Finance Director Roland stated the Task
Force had asked staffto contact Farmington Printing to find out her willingness to sell. At that
time, she was not a willing seller and her value of the property was significantly different than
the appraised value. Mayor Ristow stated Option D does not include Farmington Printing. If
future expansion is necessary, that could be reviewed plus the Park and Rec building and the
Frontier building. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated at this point, Council is looking
at comparing actual acquisition costs for Options Band D. Councilmember Fogarty stated she is
not interested in hiring a consultant. It would not change $714,000 to O. That is a huge gap to
pay for parking. Existing City Hall options are terribly expensive. Mayor Ristow suggested
putting this to a vote on the January 5, 2004 Council meeting, either the current location or 3rd
and Spruce Street. Council agreed.

c) City Hall Site Selection - Administration
Staff requested Council make a decision on a site for City Hall. Based on that
selection, there will be other decisions to be made such as the life expectancy or a
service length of a City Hall building. As with the other municipal buildings
identify a target year or target population. It would not be out ofthe question to
say we want a new City Hall to serve a population of 40,000 people or the year
2030. Based on that information, in cooperation with an architect, we can design
a City Hall based on projected needs. It would also be beneficial to identify a
target date - when does Council want a new City Hall to be occupied. This will
allow staffto establish timelines and project priority goals. It is important to
understand that by naming a site and giving direction as to the life expectancy of a
building, Council is not authorizing the project. Council is authorizing the
acquisition of more information. Council would be expending some financial
resources such as contracting with a consulting firm specializing in acquisition
and relocation of existing businesses if necessary. Staff asked Council to
authorizing staff to begin work with an architect, to submit requests for proposals
and begin a design process. Once the building is designed, a cost can be
established. Only then can financial decisions be made whether or not to build it.
Councilmember Cordes asked if it would be premature to do all this if it was
decided to have a City Hall issue on a referendum. Interim City Administrator
Siebenaler replied personally, you do not ask a question you cannot afford to hear
no as an answer. If a problem exists and requires and answer from Council, you
are bound by your job descriptions to act in the best interest of the city. The
voters have put you in your positions to make those very difficult decisions in
their interest. From the position of an Interim City Administrator, a referendum
on any municipal construction would put this process back at least another year.
We would look at a referendum with the General Election in November 2004,
which would begin the process we are in now one year from now. In fact, it
would be further, because we would not have a dollar amount estimate. In order
for us to get to the dollar amount it would put us out 2 years. It is not premature.
A site needs to be identified so staff can provide Council with the financial
information they need to make a final decision or to refer it to a referendum.
Council Minutes (Regular)
January 5,2004

Finance Director Roland stated since the financing was initially discussed in
February 2003, the state legislature has allowed cities to construct needed public
facilities utilizing G.O. bonds that were normally under referendum prior to 2003.
At the time staff suggested lease revenue bonds because the cost would be spread
evenly across conunercial, industrial and residential properties. We now have the
option without the referendum requirement at this time. Financing could be done
with lease revenue bonds, the bonds with a referendum or the bonds without a
referendum. Mayor Ristow stated even if you did a referendum you would have
to identify the bonding source. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated you
would have to identify a dollar amount. Authorize the construction of a City Hall
within a specific dollar amount. Finance Director Roland stated whether the
bonds are adopted with or without a referendum. They would be market value
bonds, meaning the heaviest burden would be shifted to the residential properties
and not to the commercial/industrial properties. Lease revenue bonds are done on
a tax capacity value which spreads the burden equally across
commercial/industrial and residential properties. Market value referenda would
shift the tax burden more to residential properties than the lease revenue bonds.
Mayor Ristow stated he has heard comments that when the budget was done, staff
stated the coming years could be difficult. He asked what adding this would do to
the budget? Finance Director Roland stated at this point, because debt service
levies are outside oflevy limits, it would have no impact on our budget. We
would be required to levy for the debt service consistent with the way we levy for
all other debt service and those debt service levies are outside of levy limits.
Consequently, they would not be affected by the same items for the 2005 budget.
What we are most concerned with the 2005 budget is the general levy which
would have a limit on it as to the amount of money we would be able to levy for
general services such as police, fire, park and rec, streets and snow plowing as
well as general administrative functions. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler
stated what Council does tonight will not trigger a $7 millfon expense. Long
before we get to that point, which could be a year away, the legislature will make
its intentions clear for 2005.
Councilmember Soderberg stated we are basically identifying a location. We
have a rough idea of what it will cost. Based on how things change with the state
legislature or other things, we can set a path but if things do not work out we can
always discontinue it. Staff is looking for direction on this path. Are we going to
move toward a new City Hall facility, and if we get to a point where we need a
voter referendum, we need to go to the voters with enough information which is
going to take some time. We cannot get to that point until we make a decision
tonight. Mayor Ristow stated once you start the path you need to be fully
prepared. How much money will this cost to have staff research this? If we
acquire additional land, how far are we going to do? Ifwe pick a site that is fine,
and then go into more discussion from there, but staff is asking for more than that.
Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated picking a site is a starting point, after
that staff would ask for additional direction and authorization to move forward. If
Council chooses not to do that, if Council wants to wait and see, then staff will sit
and wait until Council tells us to move.

negotiations that are going on with the price of a particular property that we have
an option on at this time, or is that price firm as long as we exercise the option.
Community Development Director Kevin Carroll replied the benefit of the Option
Agreement is that we have locked in a price. We have the option of buying it at
that price, but we are not obligated to. Mayor Ristow asked if we are loosing any
money if we do not fulfill the agreement. Staff replied we had to put some money
down in order to exercise the Option Agreement, so if we choose not to exercise
the option the money we paid to get the option will be lost. This is HRA money.
The HRA has several ideas in mind for the site, and they are determined to pursue
whatever alternative is determined to be in the city's best interest.
Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated there are two sites. The first is the
current City Hall site at the comer of 4th and Oak. The other site is the site
recommended by the Task Force at the intersection of 3rd and Spruce.
Mayor Ristow stated he has made his comments before. With the heritage and the
130 years of City Hall at the present location. There are adequate site, noise, and
dust differences. He stated this at the Task Force meetings all along. He would
like to see City Hall stay at the current site. He heard more comments was
informed by the Library there were a lot of furnace and duct systems that due to
the dust and noise when the train goes through, that have to be halted. If during a
Council Meeting and there was a loud train whistle the meeting could be stopped.
There are numerous meetings with staff and developers, etc. As far as the
timeline frame, the financial people recommended a 50 year site and 3rd and
Spruce was a 20 year site. Finance Director Roland stated the bonds would be 25
or 30 year bonds and that is how far the building would go out. Mayor Ristow
stated he was referring to the life expectancy of the building. We need the space
so that we are not dead at 20 years.
Councilmember Fogarty stated the current site is too expensive. It is a great deal
more money to stay here. This might be the original site, but it is not the original
building. As far as taking the building out 50 years, she would rather build at 3rd
and Spruce and expand vertically. To keep it here, some options were $1 million.
If we are going to spend $1 million she would rather see that go toward a parking
ramp at 3rd and Spruce with a 3-story City Hall, than to use it to buyout
businesses and move them. Mayor Ristow stated the $1 million was the higher
option.
Councilmember Soderberg stated there was a wide range in cost between the two
sites. They went from $200,000 to $1 million to put the facility here. While 3rd
and Spruce may have some obstacles, he did not believe that any of them cannot
be overcome. He felt 3rd and Spruce is an excellent site. There would be minimal
disruption to city services during construction. It was the site the Task Force
recommended, and felt they came to some excellent conclusions.
Councilmember Cordes stated she would like to see City Hall stay on the current
site. She did not know if the city would have to acquire all businesses at this
point. The current building could be demolished and expand vertically. We the
Council Minutes (Regular)
January 5, 2004

maintenance facility and police facility were built we were told that area was big
enough for a City Hall, Maintenance Facility, Police Facility, satellite Fire
Station, a water treatment building. Now were are down to two of them. She
assumed that would be our city campus. That was a hard pill to swallow. If she
does not have to move City Hall from the current location, she does not want to.
Mayor Ristow stated when we upgraded from the Community Library that was in
this building, and when the Fire Station and then the Police moved out, our next
step was to expand and we would have as much room there as we currently have.
If you look at it conservatively for the constituents that we represent sometimes
you have to add onto your home instead of building a new home.
Councilmember Fitch stated his initial reaction was that he did not like 3rd and
Spruce. The reason is that is the beginning of the Spruce Street Corridor, and felt
it would be better to have commercial start the Spruce Street Corridor than a City
Hall. However, we have a lot oflimitations on expanding on the current site.
Even though this site would be preferable, from a logistics standpoint, not just the
city has the problem, but all of downtown in that we are landlocked. Unless we
pick something outside of downtown, we are going to be landlocked. At this
point, if we are going to build a building for a life expectancy of 50 years, we are
only fooling ourselves. He did not think we could look at a building for more
than 30-35 years. It would be nice to be able to plan a building to go vertical, but
no one wants to go vertical anymore. He stated 3rd and Spruce would be better
served with commercial, but also understood the landlocked problem we have no
matter where we build the building. If the library comes up for sale, perhaps the
HRA would buy that and hold onto it for redevelopment for a future City Hall
after 30 years. Ifwe don't think now about that site and where we will go and
how we will get there, in 30 years we will have done a disservice to the taxpayers.
This is not a cheap undertaking. He stated he could live with the 3rd and Spruce
site and go along with the recommendation of the Task Force. He stated they did
a good job. We looked at a lot of options and unfortunately it comes down to
dollars and cents and he could not see spending $1 million. At this time, even
though it was not his favorite site, he could live with 3rd and Spruce.
Mayor Ristow stated if we expanded across to the library, what would we do with
the Spruce Street Corridor. Councilmember Fitch stated in the future, other things
may happen and other properties could come into the city that could change that.
Maybe split off Administration from Engineering, and Engineering goes into
another building, just like we did with the Maintenance and Police facilities. No
matter where we put City Hall, we have a landlock problem. Unless the city
decides they will acquire more property for expansion no matter what we do, we
will be able to envision what that will be beyond 30 years.
Interim City Administrator Siebenaler stated in subsequent discussions Council
may want to consider a strategic plan for the acquisition of additional property,
either surrounding this site or 3rd and Spruce and formulate a strategic plan for the
long-term acquisition of property for 20-30 years out. Mayor Ristow stated he
understood what he was saying, but disagreed with the way he said it. You are
taking out commercial and retail business where here you are just taking out
housing to the east. Commercial land is more expensive right now than housing.
Council Minutes (Regular)
January 5, 2004
Page 14
MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty to approve the 3rd and Spruce Street
site as the preferred site for the City Hall. Mayor Ristow stated he will not
support it, but he will support whatever site is chosen down the road to continue
on with it. Councilmember Soderberg stated this is the end of a long road that a
lot of people were involved in and the Task Force did a lot of work on it and
appreciate their efforts. Voting for: Fitch, Fogarty, Soderberg. Against: Ristow,
Cordes. MOTION CARRIED.
Interim City Administrator Siebenaler asked for further direction.
Councilmember Soderberg stated to look out 50 years or a population of 40-
50,000 is very reasonable. Mayor Ristow stated we have to be open-minded and
do what we think is right. We can do what the architects and other professionals
recommend. Interim City Administrator Siebenaler requested Council
authorization for request for proposals for architectural services so we can begin a
design phase of City Hall. Once that is in place, staff can provide design cost
estimates and the amount of land necessary for that design. The current building
is 35 years old. When it was initially constructed it was serving a population of
3,600. It has served well for a lot of departments for 35 years. Based on the
current information we can make a reasonable population estimate for 30 years
from now. 50 years from now is pushing the limits of anyone's ability of
projection. He recommended obtaining an estimate for 30 years and designing a
building to serve that population. Councilmember Fogarty stated staff would
recommend to continue with the Task Force's recommendations. Staff replied
that is correct. Council agreed.

Dear Council Members:
At 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 31, 2007 12 bids were received for the
construction of the New City Hall and First Street Garage. The bids were of an
acceptable range and the low bid is within your project budget. On June 1, 2007,
we were made aware of a mathematical error in the apparent low bid from
Merrimac Construction. Due to this bid error, Merrimac has requested that their
bid be withdrawn and their bid bond be returned (see enclosed letter). We
recommend you allow Merrimac Construction to withdraw their bid and award
the bid to the second apparent low bidder. A copy of the bid tabulation is
enclosed for your review. Selection of the alternate will not affect determination
of the second low bidder. The following is our recommendation:
Base Bid - New City Hall and First Street Garage
$7,569,000
The base bid includes a 42,000 S.F. City Hall at the 3rd and Spruce site and a
5,500 S.F. building at the existing 1st street site. Existing building demolition is
included.
Alternate #1
$136,000
This alternate includes finishes and toilets for the expansion space.
Recommendation: Accept the Alternate
We recommend the City of Farrnington enter into a contract with Lund Martin
Construction for a total amount of $7,705,000, which breaks down as follows:
Base Bid
Alternate #1
TOTAL CONTRACT
$7,569,000

that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of bond certificates, the City may notify DTC and
the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of
Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance
with paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect
to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and the Registrar and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be
transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.

with interest accrued from the due date to the date of such deposit. The City may also discharge
its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called for redemption on any date when
they are prepayable according to their terms, by depositing with the Registrar on or before that
date an amount equal to the principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, which are then
due, provided that notice of such redemption has been duly given as provided herein. The City

securities which are authorized by law to be so deposited, bearing interest payable at such time
and at such rates and maturing or callable at the holder's option on such dates as shall be
required to pay all principal and interest to become due thereon to maturity or earlier designated
redemption date. Provided, however, that if such deposit is made more than ninety days before
the maturity date or specified redemption date of the Bonds to be discharged, the City shall have
received a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit does not adversely
affect the exemption of interest on any Bonds from federal income taxation and a written report
of an accountant or investment banking firm verifying that the deposit is sufficient to pay when
due all of the principal and interest on the Bonds to be discharged on and before their maturity
dates or earlier designated redemption date.

representations of the City as to the correctness of all statements contained therein.

SECTION 11. TAX COVENANTS; ARBITRAGE MATTERS; REIMBURSEMENT AND
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE.
11.0 I. General Tax Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the registered owners
of the Bonds that it will not take, or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or
agents, any actions that would cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income
of the recipient under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) and applicable
Treasury Regulations (the Regulations), and covenants to take any and all actions within its
powers to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income of the
recipient under the Code and the Regulations. In particular, the City covenants and agrees that
all proceeds of the Bonds deposited in the Construction Fund will be expended solely for the
payment of the costs of the Project. All improvements so financed will be owned and
maintained by the City as part of the public infrastructure of the City and available for use by
members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The City shall not enter into any
lease, management, use or other agreement or contract with any non-governmental person
relating to the use of the Project or security for the payment of the Bonds which might cause the
Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or "private loan bonds" pursuant to Section 141
of the Code.
11.02. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and Clerk being the officers of the City
charged with the responsibility for issuing the Certificates pursuant to this resolution, are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance with
the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and Section 1. 148-2(b ) of the Regulations, stating the
facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the
Certificates which make it reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Certificates will not be
used in a manner that would cause the Certificates to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of
the Code and Regulations.
11.03. Arbitrage Rebate. The City acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to the rebate
requirements of Section 148( f) of the Code. The City covenants and agrees to retain such
records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amounts at
such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Regulations to preserve the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, unless the
Bonds qualify for an exception from the rebate requirement pursuant to one of the spending
exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 of the Regulations and no "gross proceeds" of the Bonds
(other than amounts constituting a "bona fide debt service fund") arise during or after the
expenditure of the original proceeds thereof.
14
11.04. Not Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Council has not designated the
Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b )(3) of the Code
relating to the disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions.
11.05. Reimbursement. The City certifies that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used
by the City to reimburse itself for any expenditure with respect to the Project which the City paid
or will have paid more than 60 days prior to the issuance of the Bonds unless, with respect to
such prior expenditures, the City shall have made a declaration of official intent which complies
with the provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations; provided that this certification shall
not apply (i) with respect to certain de minimis expenditures, if any, with respect to the Project
meeting the requirements of Section 1. 150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations, or (ii) with respect to
"preliminary expenditures" for the Project as defined in Section 1. 150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations,
including engineering or architectural expenses and similar preparatory expenses, which in the
aggregate do not exceed 20% of the "issue price" of the Bonds.
11.06. Continuing Disclosure. (a) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the public availability of
certain infonnation relating to the Bonds and the security therefor and to permit the Purchaser and other
participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to comply with amendments to Rule 15c2-12
promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. S 240.l5c2-12), relating to
continuing disclosure (as in effect and interpreted from time to time, the Rule), which will enhance the marketability
of the Bonds, the City hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Owners (as
hereinafter defined) from time to time of the Outstanding Bonds. The City is the only obligated person in respect of
the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for purposes of identifying the entities in respect of which continuing
disclosure must be made. The City has complied in all material respects with any undertaking previously entered
into by it under the Rule. If the City fails to comply with any provisions of this section, any person aggrieved
thereby, including the Owners of any Outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear
necessary or appropriate to enforce perfonnance and observance of any agreement or covenant contained in this
section, including an action for a writ of mandamus or specific perfonnance. Direct, indirect, consequential and
punitive damages shall not be recoverable for any default hereunder to the extent permitted by law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall a default under this section constitute a
default under the Bonds or under any other provision of this resolution. As used in this section, Owner or
Bondowner means, in respect of a Bond, the registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register
maintained by the Registrar or any Beneficial Owner (as hereinafter defined) thereof, if such Beneficial Owner

owner of the Bond for federal income tax purposes.

City shall clearly identify in the Disclosure Information each document so incorporated by reference. If any part of
the Disclosure Information can no longer be generated because the operations of the City have materially changed or
been discontinued, such Disclosure Information need no longer be provided if the City includes in the Disclosure
Information a statement to such effect; provided, however, if such operations have been replaced by other City

regarding the replacement operations. If the Disclosure Information is changed or this section is amended as
permitted by this paragraph (b)( 1) or subsection (d), then the City shall include in the next Disclosure Information to
be delivered hereunder, to the extent necessary, an explanation of the reasons for the amendment and the effect of

event that would be deemed material for purposes of the purchase, holding or sale of a Bond within the meaning of
applicable federal securities laws, as interpreted at the time of discovery of the occurrence of the event.
(3) In a timely manner, notice of the occurrence of any of the following events or conditions:
(A) the failure of the City to provide the Disclosure Information required under paragraph (b)(1) at

Rulemaking Board and to the State Depository, if any; and

Bonds at the request of the City and, at the expense of such Bondowner, to any Bondowner who
requests in writing such information, at the time of transmission under paragraphs (1) or (2) of this
subsection (c), as the case may be, or, if such information is transmitted with a subsequent time of
release, at the time such information is to be released.
(d) Term: Amendments; Interpretation.
(1) The covenants of the City in this section shall remain in effect so long as any Bonds are Outstanding.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the obligations of the City under this section shall
terminate and be without further effect as of any date on which the City delivers to the Registrar an
opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that, because of legislative action or final judicial or
administrative actions or proceedings, the failure of the City to comply with the requirements of this
section will not cause participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to be in
violation of the Rule or other applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or any statutes or laws successory thereto or amendatory thereof.
(2) This section (and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information) may be amended or
supplemented by the City from time to time, without notice to (except as provided in paragraph (c)(3)
hereof) or the consent of the Owners of any Bonds, by a resolution of this Council filed in the office
of the recording officer of the City accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, who may rely on
certificates of the City and others and the opinion may be subject to customary qualifications, to the
effect that: (i) such amendment or supplement (a) is made in connection with a change in
circumstances that arises from a change in law or regulation or a change in the identity, nature or
status of the City or the type of operations conducted by the City, or (b) is required by, or better
complies with, the provisions of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule; (ii) this section as so amended or
supplemented would have complied with the requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule at the time
of the primary offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any change in circumstances applicable under
clause (i)(a) and assuming that the Rule as in effect and interpreted at the time of the amendment or
supplement was in effect at the time of the primary offering; and (iii) such amendment or supplement
does not materially impair the interests of the Bondowners under the Rule.
If the Disclosure Information is so amended, the City agrees to provide, contemporaneously with the
effectiveness of such amendment, an explanation of the reasons for the amendment and the effect, if
any, of the change in the type of financial information or operating data being provided hereunder.
17

facility. Wold Architects and Engineers worked with
the City Hall Task Force to study the needs and issues
related to the City Hall facility including a site analysis.
The recommendation of the Task Force was to
build a new City Hall on the site located at Third and
Spruce Streets. Some of the guiding principles used in
the site determination were:
· City Hall shall be located downtown
· City Hall would serve as an anchor to the existing
downtown and the new Spruce Street Corridor
. The building shall allow for future growth of at
least 20 years and be expandable
. The building shall be complimentary and/or set
a new standard for downtown
· City Hall would strengthen the downtown
neighborhood

COUNCIL SITE SELECTION
At a City Council workshop on December 3,
2003, the City Council was presented with numerous
options to construct a new City Hall facility. The
alternatives presented included renovating and
expanding the existing City Hall building, demolishing
the existing building to rebuild on the current site or
construct a New City Hall on the corner of Third and
Spruce Streets.
At the January 5, 2004 City Council Meeting,
the City Council determined that the recommendation
of the City Hall Task Force was the best option
financially; and therefor, approved the site at
Third and Spruce Streets for the construction of the
new City Hall.
BUILDING DETAILS
· The New City Hall will be a two-story building
with a total of 42,200 square feet.
(The existing City Hall building is 12,628 square feet.)
· The new facility is designed to accommodate a
2030 staffing level of 72 employees. (The existing
2007 City Hall staff consists of 33 employees.)
BUDGET FACTS
The budget for the construction of the New
City Hall including equipment and furniture is $9.1
million. It will be financed with a 20 year Capital
Improvement Plan Bond with an estimated annual debt
service cost of $750K. This equates to approximately a
9% increase to the current City tax levy or $81 a year
on an average market value home of $226,000.

COUNCIL WORKSHOP
MINUTES
May 2, 2006
1. CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Soderberg called the meeting to order at 5 :00 p.m.
Present: Soderberg, McKnight, Pritzlaff, Wilson
Absent: Fogarty
2. APPROVE AGENDA
Council approved the agenda.
3. EXECUTIVE SESSION - Discuss ISD 192 Litigation
Council went into closed session to discuss ISD 192 litigation.
4. CITY HALL PLANNING
Council reconvened into open session at 5:54 p.m.
Mr. Mike Cox, Wold Architects, requested approval of the guiding principles and
reviewed the list of goals. They included that City Hall should be located in the
downtown area, it should serve as an anchor to the downtown and the Spruce Street
corridor, there should be enough room for future growth for 20 years, it should be a
multi-level building, it should preserve the Farmington image and be complimentary to
downtown or set a new standard for downtown, the building should be a model, and it
should strengthen the downtown. Staffwanted to make sure this Council was on board
with these values and principles especially that City Hall should be located in the
downtown area. The entire Council agreed it should be downtown.
City Administrator Herlofsky felt the process that should take place based on those
principles is have the City employees look at what they think the growth will be. You
want to design the internal structure first and then design the outside. Councilmember
Pritzlaff asked about City Hall being complimentary to the downtown or set a new
standard. Mayor Soderberg noted Vermillion River Crossing is trying to compliment the
downtown through architectural features and he would be disappointed if we did not do
the same thing with City Hall. Use the prominent features, such as the arched windows
and some of the facades on the older buildings. City Administrator Herlofsky stated in
previous projects Wold has taken courthouses that have an interesting look and added to
that campus with structures that complimented or blended with the currentJacility and
still somehow provided direction of how things should be in the future. He suggested the
idea of a green building that is energy efficient meaning lights go on and offwhen you
walk in, things that make it less expensive to operate. Mr. Cox noted it is Wold's
challenge to make it fit.
Councilmember Wilson wanted it to be a foundation piece to re-vitalizing downtown.
Councilmember Pritzlaffwould like to be involved in the layout and suggested touring
other City Hall's. Mr. John McNamara, Wold Architects, noted they will be setting up a
tour in the next couple months. Mr. Cox noted the library is close to the proposed

location. Councilmember Wilson stated a green building would have a lot of windows
and natural lighting. Councilmember McKnight was on board with the guiding principles
and was ready to move forward. Mayor Soderberg would like to see prominent
architectural features in the downtown incorporated.
Mr. McNamara distributed a new budget for the City Hall project. The cost would be
$170 per sq. ft. which amounts to $6.6 million for the construction budget. There would
also be the demolition of the Blaha building at 3rd and Spruce Street, fees, furniture,
equipment, moving equals a total project cost of$8.6 million. There would also be
revenue from the sale of the current City Hall building.
Finance Director Roland stated the site was purchased by the former HRA. It was
discussed to reimburse them from the proceeds of any bonding. The project could be
financed through lease revenue bonds and lease the property from the EDA and the City
would not need to pay them back for the land. City Administrator Herlofsky noticed the
date on the estimate was April 11, 2006 and asked how long this is good. Mr. McNamara
estimated out to the point of construction. Construction was scheduled for the spring of
2007.
City Administrator Herlofsky suggested writing things down that people want to see in
City Hall. The key is to look at the relationship between departments from a customer
standpoint and make sure things are easily found by the public and accessible. The
customer friendly items should be on the first floor. He suggested letting staff work with
the architect on where things will be and Council will be kept informed.
5. CASTLE ROCK UPDATE
In October 2004 meetings began with Castle Rock Township to improve the relationship.
The Farmington Business Park was covered by an Orderly Annexation Agreement.
Another piece of property to the south was annexed at the same time that was not covered
by the annexation agreement. After that a Castle Rock Discussion Group was formed
which included three township representatives and three City representatives. There was
a road needed to access the business park and after discussions the road was annexed into
the City. Also a couple properties have been annexed as a result of the Ash Street
Orderly Annexation Agreement. The Castle Rock Discussion Group has been discussing
a long term Orderly Annexation Agreement. There are a couple of basic provisions:
1. Owners have already approached the City about annexation.
2. There is a natural boundary.
The agreement says that if the annexation is approved by the City and the Township any
annexations that are requested by property owners within that area would not be
contested by the Township. The parcels would be annexed by joint resolution. In
exchange for that the City would not process annexations from other properties outside of
the line in Castle Rock Township for a period of 10 years. This would be through
December 31, 2016. If half of the properties were annexed in the first five years and the
remaining were annexed two or three years later, the 10 year period would remain in
effect. There would be no agreement for anything beyond that time period.

3. CITY HALL
Wold architects presented the schematic design for the new City Hall to be located at the
comer of Spruce and 3rd Street. There will be parking in back and at the 2nd Street
parking lot. Overflow parking would be available at the library. A roundabout is
proposed for the intersection of Spruce and 3rd Street.
The main entrance would be off of 3 rd Street. The main level would consist of Parks and
Recreation, Community Development, Engineering, Council Chambers, conference
rooms and storage areas. In the Council Chambers, Councilmembers would like room
for staff along both sides of the room near the Council table.
The upper floor will consist of Administration, Finance, Human Resources, conference
rooms and storage. City Administrator Herlofsky proposed to begin scanning files to
minimize the storage requirements for paperwork.
Councilmember McKnight noted the information gave projected staff for 2020 and 2030.
He requested the numbers of current staffby department. Councilmember Fogarty
recommended leasing the future expansion space. This could be used by a non-profit
agency, Dakota County, etc.
The outside of the building will consist of cornices and large windows that will fit in with
the downtown architecture. The color of the brick will be similar to other downtown
buildings. The building will be a vision of the future of the downtown yet connect with
the historic features. Councilmember Pritzlaff suggested coordinating some design

elements with the Spruce Street bridge. Councilmember Wilson would like to have a
public open house to receive comments from residents.
The construction cost would be $7,000,000, project cost $2,143,000, for a total cost of
$9,143,000. These costs are mid-2007.
Mayor Soderberg liked the design with lots of space and room for expansion. The area
around the outside will be consistent with the current downtown streetscape.
The timeline is as follows:
Council approval August 21, 2006
Design development October 30,2006
Call for bids April 2, 2007
Award the contract May 7,2007
Project completion May/June 2008
4. TH3 ROUNDABOUTS/FUNDING
There is a potential funding opportunity for roundabouts on TH3. Roundabouts are a tool
used to control crossing traffic. Circulating traffic has the right-of-way, entering traffic
has to yield. All traffic goes in the same direction. A slower speed is required and there
is no parking allowed.
Advantages include:
- Reduced delay as it takes less time to get through an intersection.
- A roundabout is always better than all-way signal control.
- A roundabout is usually better than two-way signal control.
- A roundabout is usually better than a signal.
- Increased safety for vehicles and pedestrians.
- Reduced environmental impacts.
Goals include:
- Traffic calming.
- Crash reduction.
A railroad crossing could back traffic up into a roundabout. The grade of the road should
be 5% or less. At 195th Street and TH3 the grade coming down does meet this
requirement. MnDOT avoids placing a roundabout on any grade 3% or greater because
of ice conditions. When determining if a roundabout is appropriate, pedestrian capacity
is taken into account. On TH3 MnDOT recommended spacing roundabouts Yz mile or
more apart. There is the potential to look at roundabouts on TH3 at Elm and Spruce
when Spruce Street opens up. There are three roundabouts shown on the plan along the
Newland property. According to MnDOT in a new installation a roundabout is cheaper
than a signal.
Councilmember McKnight asked when Council will have a presentation from MnDOT
on signals and reduced speed on TH3 and what that would do for traffic safety. MnDOT
noted within the last month they did a speed study on TH3 through Empire Township.
The average speed is 55 mph in a 55 posted area. Reducing the speed to 45 mph causes

budget workshop. Staff will provide this at the September 5 Council meeting
during the presentation of the 2007 tax levy and budget. The current proposal is
to maintain the tax rate at the 43% level.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) Approve City Hall Project - Administration
Wold Architects presented the schematic design for the new City Hall to be
located at the comer of 3rd and Spruce Street. The schedule is proposed for 2-3
months of design development, late October for Council approval of design
development, this will allow for bids in spring 2007, start construction in spring
2007 and complete construction in late spring, early summer 2008. The building
will be approximately 36,000 sq. ft. with a total project cost of$9.1 million.
Regarding the expansion space on the second floor, Councilmember McKnight
stated he is willing to spend the money now to put that into place for future use.
Other Councilmembers agreed. MOTION by Fogarty, second by McKnight to
approve the schematic design submittal and direct staffto proceed. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED.
b) GIS Presentation - Community Development
Council has expressed a desire to improve the website and access to information.
In order to manage information, City Planner Smick has done some research to
improve the GIS system. Staff reviewed options from LOGIS, Bonestroo and
Dakota County. Staff recommended using Dakota County. City Planner Smick
gave a presentation showing what information would be available using Dakota
County for GIS needs. Farmington would be part of a four-city consortium with
Apple Valley, Bumsville, South St. Paul and West St. Paul. Benefits include
weekly downloads, access to data, fiber connection, proximity to the county,
training, scanning, web-based access, primary and secondary ArcMap user where
staff can obtain extensions for mapping at a lower cost. A link would be provided
through the City's website and staff would determine what would be available to
the public. The cost is $17,000/year based on splitting up one full time person
from four ways to five ways. The cost this year would be $6,000.
Councilmember Wilson asked if there was a way to quantify the cost. City
Administrator Herlofsky replied staff can list costs that would be avoided and it
would allow staff time for other things besides answering phone calls. Council
was impressed and felt it was great technology.
c) Adopt Resolution - Seed/Genstaf AUAR Update - Community Development
Comments have been received from various agencies. The AUAR update was
needed for the extension of Diamond Path and a second bridge over North Creek.
MOTION by McKnight, second by Pritzlaff adopting RESOLUTION R97-06
approving the final AUAR update and mitigation plan for the SeedlGenstar area.

4. COUNCIL REVIEW OF AGENDA
Councilmember McKnight asked about the location of the two City lots for the Elm
Street project. One easement is for the entrance to Rambling River Park and the other is
the Depot Way Park.
Councilmember Wilson asked about the Fairhills slope project and if staff was confident
the $474,000 cost was conservative. Staff felt this should cover the cost. The project
was necessary because of the grading of the lots along the pond and concentrated
discharges from sump pumps, etc.
Councilmember Wilson then asked about the abatement for Vermillion River Crossings
and what happens if the project falls apart. City Administrator Herlofsky explained the
property would be tax forfeited and the property can be purchased for the amount of the
special assessments plus interest.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked about the cost and number of people attending the
conference for Parks and Recreation. Parks and Recreation Director Distad explained
last year two people went to a national conference for $2500. For another $600 two more
staff people could attend this year. This conference is within driving distance.

Councilmember Pritzlaff then asked about the payment to Gerster Jewelers. Human
Resources Director Wendlandt explained this was for employee recognition and also
another recognition plaque was ordered. Employees receive a monetary recognition
starting with 10 years of service. Mayor Soderberg felt a letter from Council
acknowledging their service would be appropriate. Staff will compile a list of benchmark
. .
anmversanes.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked about the timeline for build out for Vermillion River
Crossings. He asked how the developer can determine they will have a hotel within three
years, etc. Finance Director Roland replied the developer provided that schedule. The
Abatement Agreement addresses what happens if the developer defaults. If there is no
build out, there is no money in taxes to be rebated to the developer. The special
assessments are the City's biggest recourse. City Administrator Herlofsky explained all
the properties have special assessments. Whoever owns the property is obligated to pay
the special assessment. The abatement reimburses the developer only to the degree that
development takes place. Their incentive is to get development in as quickly as possible.
Councilmember McKnight stated if the development falls through, we cancel the
abatement.
Council suggested moving items lOa) and 10e) to the consent agenda.
5. STAFF COMMENTS
City Administrator Herlofsky informed Council that Tuesday night is the last Rambling
River Days meeting at 7:00 p.m. at the ice arena.

6. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mr. Doug Bonar, 18120 Echo Drive, had some questions and comments regarding the
new City Hall project. It was his understanding that the project is moving out of design
development and into construction documents. He believed the history of the project was
in 1999-2000 there was a facilities task force to review the condition of all City facilities.
Some of the most recent additions to the area include the Police Station, the second Fire
Station, and the Central Maintenance Facility which were a direct result of that task force,
which concluded its work in April 2000. Several years later the Council, in a workshop
in December, gave consideration to the remodeling of the current City Hall. There were
also subsequent blind appraisals put together for the consideration of expanding the
current facility to the north and east. Around July 2004, the project changed to a new
construction at a budgeted amount of$7.6 million. He asked when it comes to the
change in Council's direction, he assumed this was a direct result of some analysis that
would be created to show the benefits and causes of remodeling and/or expansion of the
current facility versus new construction. He could not find this in the public record. He
wanted to gain a better understanding of how we moved from a simple remodeling to a
full replacement. As time has passed, the project has grown in scope and has experienced
inflation and grown to $9.1 million. In his reading he stated he lacks a clear
understanding of the tax impact to an average home in Farmington. A credible job has
been done in demonstrating the cost of the project, but it has not been broken down in a
simple denomination for the taxpayers. He welcomed a staff response in writing.
Councilmember Wilson stated regarding the second question, it is a very good question
especially with the public facilities construction in the Farmington area. He did bring this
up a couple weeks ago to the City Administrator and Finance Director to make
information on the tax impact available to residents.

b) Consider Tax Abatement Agreement Vermillion River Crossing - Finance
In 2005 the City and the developer entered into a Development Agreement which
agreed to the following. The City would assess the cost of the Spruce Street
extension and bridge project against the properties of Vermillion River Crossings
and in return the City would consider an Abatement Agreement which would
reimburse the developers for up to $2 million plus interest with regard to the
special assessments that they would have already paid, but they would be rebated
the taxes in order to make the properties and the project more financially palatable
to the developers. But for this assistance, the project would not work as well and
development would not occur. During the course of developing this agreement,
staff worked with Lynette Crandall from Dorsey and Whitney who is an expert in
abatement and Sid Inman from Ehlers and Associates. The Abatement
Agreement had some changes and Council was given a revised agreement prior to
the meeting.
The agreement says that the properties in the Vermillion River Crossings project
will be given tax abatement over a 20-year period commencing with this
agreement based on the tax base which was in place as of2005. An article in the
agreement shows the tax base the project started with and anything above this
amount will be subj ect to tax abatement to reimburse the developers for the
assessments they are paying on the Spruce Street extension project. The
agreement also states the tax base is exclusive of fiscal disparities.
Commercial/retail properties in Minnesota pay into a fiscal disparities pool.
Fiscal disparities means that a certain portion of the tax is paid into the state pool
and the City receives money back. Ifwe have less commerciallretail than the rest
of the metro area, we get more money back. Ifwe have more commercial/retail
we pay in. At this point, it is not in the City's best interest to consider tax
Council Minutes (Regular)
May 21,2007
Page 4
abatement inclusive of fiscal disparities. The agreement says it is written out.
However, there is a caveat in Section 3.2 under abatement. This is included in
order that the developer be encouraged to meet the deadlines in Exhibit C. The
developer expressed a desire from the beginning to have fiscal disparities
completely abated. Staff did not feel they could do that, but they were given the
consideration in this section which reads, in the event on the date that is three
years from the date hereof, the targeted completion date set in Exhibit C, have
been met by the developer and it is determined by an independent financial
advisor that the projected aggregate payment for the abatement period will not
equal $3,050,000 then for all payment dates, the tax capacity used to determine
the semi-annual abatement amounts shall include tax capacity subject to the
areawide tax rate. This means if in three years the developer has met their
targeted goals and they still need additional help, according to an independent
financial advisor, the City will include fiscal disparities. It is to the developer's
benefit to build out quickly and to the greatest extent possible, so their abatement
amount comes back to them. If this is not done, they will not be able to recoup
the money they are paying out in special assessments. There is also a section on
business subsidy, which is a policy Council adopted in 2002.
Councilmember Fogarty noted in Section 2.2 e) language was added stating,
while failure to construct in accordance with Exhibit C will negatively impact
reimbursement of the Developer under this agreement, such failure shall not
constitute default. She asked if that took the teeth out of the deadline. Ms.
Lynette Crandall responded one option would be to make a failure to construct the
project as contemplated an event of default. This means the City would have the
opportunity to recoup the abatement that has been paid out. However, the way the
agreement is structured, the abatement or the incentive the developer is getting to
improve the property is somewhat limited by what they actually do on the land.
In the event they do not meet the time line, they are hurting themselves because
they are not getting the full value of the abatement. The timeframe is limited.
Abatement can only be paid over a period of20 years. It does have teeth in that if
they do not do what they say they will within the timeframe, they will not realize
the economic benefit. Councilmember Fogarty stated the abatement agreement at
first was for 10 years, then 15 years, and now 20 years. At the last meeting she
asked for assurances from the developer to put the pressure on them to work
really hard. Ms. Crandall stated to the extent the build out does not happen on
schedule, the developer never has an opportunity to tap into the fiscal disparities
pool contribution. Another safeguard is they do not have unlimited time to get the
project moving. In the definition of abatement period, the clock starts no later
than August 1, 2012 as to when the first payment must be made. A failure to
meet the deadlines of December 31,2008,2009,2010, for construction in each of
the phases is not a default. If those dates are not met there is not an opportunity
for the developer to get the fiscal disparities contribution. 2012 is when the 20-
year time period for the abatement ends. The time lines in Exhibit C are goals.

Mr. Sid Inman explained if a building is completed in 2010, it is assessed in 2011,
and taxes are payable in 2012.
Mayor Soderberg asked if a letter has been received from the school district and
the county that they declined to participate. Finance Director Roland noted that
process is not complete, so the agreement is contingent on receiving the denials.
Both the school board and the county are requiring the City go before their
individual boards. Staff anticipates they will be denied by both entities. The law
requires only one entity needs to deny the request.
Councilmember McKnight asked about the abatement period, and was told at the
last meeting the clock started in 2005. Finance Director Roland replied that was
the original date as far as the tax base. There are currently properties in
Vermillion River Crossing where the clock is ticking. The discussion at the time
of the development contract and the initial abatement agreement was whether to
do the whole area for 20 years or as the parcels develop. In reality there are two
parcels that have property on them that are generating property taxes and using
2005 as the base they would be subject to the 20-year period. However, there is
also vacant land that has to be built on, assessed, and the clock starts ticking at the
time of development. 2012 is the latest time and all the properties start at 2012.
Councilmember McKnight clarified the tax abatement period could run anywhere
from 2005 to 2032. Exhibit C states in 2008 the development will start with 7500
sq. ft. of commercial/retail. The abatement could be triggered in 2009 if the 7500
sq. ft. does not develop in 2008. He does not like an out the next year after this is
approved. In Article 3 Section 3.2 it states if we are not meeting the abatement
terms financially, we would then consider fiscal disparities. This increases his
concerns. Mr. Inman explained fiscal disparities are about 30% of all new
commerciallindustrial value. This would be 30% times the total tax capacity
times the tax rate. If the developer was to build out what they intend to it could
be $40,000 - $50,000/year. Mayor Soderberg noted the fiscal disparities come
into play if they meet the goals and get it built out and the projection shows they
will not reach the $2 million.
Councilmember McKnight stated at the last meeting, Council wanted some
protection. He discussed the definition of abatement and if the agreement is
suspended or terminated what happens to the tax abatement. Ms. Crandall noted
if the developer does not perform as contemplated, noting that the build out dates
are not defined dates, but goals, the abatement would not be payable. The City is
only agreeing to abate the property taxes to the extent the developer complies
with the agreement. If the developer is in default, they are given notice and an
opportunity to cure the default within 90 days. Councilmember McKnight noted
there are infrastructure deadlines so the bridge can open by August 1,2007. City
Attorney J amnik stated the security for this is covered under the infrastructure
improvements in the development agreement. This could be a default that could
condition the payment of the abatement.

Councilmember Wilson was very concern about the short time frame Council had
to review the abatement agreement and stated he would not support it.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked if Ms. Crandall was comfortable with the answers
she was giving and if Council should be comfortable with receiving them. Ms.
Crandall stated the original agreement gave away a lot more than Council would
be willing to give. The developer was hoping Council would consider this
tonight. She had made extensive revisions to the developer's version.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked if making a decision tonight makes or breaks a
deal with their financing.
Mr. Jim Holmes of Holmes and Associates, representing the developer, stated he
was hired by the developer to convince a lender to come into the deal. The
existing lender has grown very impatient and there is a new lender willing to
come in and take the old lender out. The abatement agreement is needed to
convince the new lender that the agreement will take care of a major portion of
the assessments. The term of 15 years will not assure the full $2 million will be
reimbursed through assessments. The agreement has to be for 20 years.
Councilmember McKnight asked about the aggregate payment for the abatement
period changing from $2.8 million to $3.0 million. Finance Director Roland
replied the original proposal from staff was for the abatement for the special
assessments to be rebated at the special assessment plus the bond rate of 4.3%.
However, that is not what is assessed. According to the fee schedule, the City
assesses at a rate of 1.5% above the bond rate. The City used the 5% rate as that
is what is listed in the development agreement. The $2.8 million is at the 4.2%
rate, the $3 million is at the 5% rate. Councilmember McKnight noted the new
language in Section 2.2 e) takes the teeth out of Exhibit C. It states that if the
dates in Exhibit C are not met, that is not a default. City Administrator Herlofsky
noted the biggest issue is that the City is reimbursing the developer's requirement
to pay the City for the special assessment. The Council has to determine if they
are comfortable with the extension of time. Councilmember McKnight stated he
was comfortable with the 20 years. The City has done TIF districts for many
years. If the language in Section 2.2. e) was removed, he would support the
agreement.
Councilmember Fogarty was also uncomfortable with the language. She needed
enforceable deadlines. This does not abate the taxes the county and the school
district receives. This should relieve some of the residents' tax for those areas.
Councilmember Pritzlaff asked how Council can be sure the developer will meet
the deadlines and do they have businesses signed up? Mr. Art Dickinson,
representing the developer, replied no because of the issue with the partners.
Knutson's do not have control over Vermillion River Crossing so they cannot
commit that area to anything until the Pederson's are out of the deal. The lender
will not come in until there is an abatement agreement. Regarding having firm
deadlines for the build out, the issue for the developer is it becomes a double
penalty. Because of the date set that will start the clock, if the developer has not
Council Minutes (Regular)
May 21,2007
Page 7
met those, they will not get back the full $2 million. If it also becomes an issue in
the abatement agreement, they will not get any abatement on the $2 million when
it was an agreement between the City and the developer that those special
assessments would be used for Spruce Street. The development would have to
cover a $2 million cost that they will not be able to recoup.
Finance Director Roland stated Council has agreed to consider an abatement
agreement as part of the development agreement which was signed in 2005.
Council has the version that was sent on Friday and the redlined version. It is a
policy decision to be made by the Council. The agreement can be anything
Council wants it to be. This is staff s suggestion. If there are parts Council does
not agree to, then the agreement can be adopted with those changes, accepted as
is, accept Friday's version, it is up to the Council. Staff has put forth a reasonable
effort at a compromise with the developer for Council's consideration.
Mayor Soderberg stated he did not realize Council was asking for the timelines to
be default points. Council was asking for the developer's best guess as to how
they can build this out. That is what they have provided in Exhibit C. He was
comfortable with the timelines as goals. The teeth he is looking for is opening the
road. If we clarify the connection to the development contract that gives us the
teeth we are looking for. If the road is not open by the date set in the
development contract that is a default.
MOTION by Wilson, second by Pritzlaffto close the public hearing. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember McKnight asked what would happen if the first year's
expectations of7500 sq. ft. of commercial/retail was not met by December 31,
2008. Finance Director Roland replied under Section 2.2. e) that would not be a
default and consequently the defaults and remedies under Section 6 would not
kick in. It would be a detriment to the developer because they would not have the
tax base to generate taxes to be abated but they would have still paid the special
assessments on the property. Mayor Soderberg noted if they do not meet the
timelines, the penalty is that the developer does not have access to the fiscal
disparities.
Councilmember Pritzlaffrequested the language in Section 2.2 e) be left the same
as it was in the previous version. Mr. Art Dickinson stated a large part of this is
in the lender's hands. The more risk the lender takes, the less likely they will be
able to make a deal with the lender.
Mayor Soderberg called for a recess at 8:50 p.m. to allow the developer to discuss
the agreement. The meeting reconvened at 9:05 p.m.
The developer came back to the meeting with some proposed changes to the
agreement. Mr. Jim Holmes stated the developer proposes:
Council Minutes (Regular)
May 21,2007
Page 8
1. Assuming the additional language in Section 2.2. e) comes out so that
Exhibit C would be mandatory and would constitute an event of default if
not complied with, then the developer asked the current three years in
Exhibit C be expanded to five years.
2. Convert the type and the square footages to value in Exhibit C.
3. Propose leaving the 2008 performance as is in Exhibit C and take the
balance ofthe development, now converted to value, and pro-rate it
equally over four years.
4. This should be subject to unavoidable delay.
City Attorney Jamnik stated converting three years to five years with a 2012
deadline rather than 2010 is understandable. Converting the type and square
footage to value is not uncommon. The main concern is how tight are
Councilmembers to particular aspects of the development. The provision for
unavoidable delay would include significant changes in the market according to
Mr. Holmes' comment which injects a level of uncertainty into the definition that
Attorney J amnik was not comfortable with. Mr. Holmes clarified the definition of
unavoidable delay would remain the same and he did not intend to expand on that
definition.
Councilmember Wilson stated he has never liked Exhibit C. He proposed striking
Exhibit C and the attachment and put in a new clause that would require the
developer to report to Council at set periods of time for a formal update.
MOTION by Fogarty, second by McKnight to approve the version of the
Abatement Agreement received tonight excepting the last sentence of Section 2.2.
e) and adding a new Exhibit C as follows:
I. Expanding the three years to five years.
2. Converting the type and square footage to value.
3. Leaving 2008 as is, but pro-rate the other four years.
4. Subject to unavoidable delay as defined in the contract.

b) Adopt Resolution - Trinity Health Care 1 st Addition Preliminary and Final
Plat - Planning
Trinity Care Center is planning to add on to the southern portion of the care
center. The addition will cross the property line, therefore the area has to be
platted into one lot. The addition will be 22,000 square feet and will contain 30
units. This will allow the double rooms to be converted to single rooms. Staff
recommended a sidewalk be added along Elm Street. The comprehensive plan
shows a trail located in the area. Due to the drainage and the location of the
proposed building the trail is not feasible. The Planning Commission reviewed
the plat on May 8, 2007 and recommended approval. Contingencies include:
1. The submittal of a landscaping plan that is acceptable to the City Planner.
2. Additional drainage and utility easements must be provided for the
proposed drainage systems as required by the Engineering Division prior
to recording of the mylars.
3. Satisfaction of the Park and Recreation requirement regarding sidewalks
along Elm Street.
Councilmember Fogarty asked ifit was possible to narrow the trail and convert it
to cement as it is an important connection for the trail system. Staff noted the
issue will be the drainage and would be very difficult to place a sidewalk in that
location.
As no additional lots are being created, park dedication does not come into affect.
MOTION by Wilson, second by Pritzlaffto adopt RESOLUTION R45-07
approving the preliminary and final plat for Trinity Health Care I st Addition with
the above contingencies. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
c) Adopt Resolution - Fairhills Pond Slope Feasibility Report - Engineering
The Fairhills pond has experienced erosion over the last several years and the
trails along the top of the slopes need to be reconstructed. This would include
reconstructing the slopes and repaving the trail from 190th Street to 193rd Street
and the trail north of 195th Street to Englewood Way. A rail would also be
constructed along the trail in the areas of steep slopes. The total project cost is
$474,000 and would be funded from the storm water utility fund. MOTION by
Fogarty, second by McKnight to adopt RESOLUTION R46-07 accepting the
feasibility report, order the project and authorize the advertisement for bids.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
d) Approve Federal Surface Transportation Program Application Proposal-

participant in the mandatory local 20% match for the project. The amount
available for each project is up to $5.5 million, but there would have to be a 20%
match from the local agency which would be $1.1 million. The cost to prepare
the funding application is $21,600. MOTION by Pritzlaff, second by Fogarty to

f) Approve MCES/Farmington Lakeville Agreement - Flagstaff Interceptor
Agreement - Engineering
Staff presented a proposed agreement between the Met Council, Farmington and
Lakeville for cost sharing and construction cooperation for the Flagstaff Avenue
interceptor. This project would become a Met Council project and they would
assume ownership, operation and maintenance responsibilities once the
interceptor is completed. They will share in one third of the cost of the project.
The cost to the school district will be reduced by $1 million. There will be Met
Council review of the plans which will delay construction by one month.
MOTION by McKnight, second by Fogarty to adopt RESOLUTION R47-07
approving the Cost Sharing and Construction Cooperation Agreement between
the Met Council, Farmington and Lakeville for the Flagstaff Avenue Interceptor.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
g) MnDOT Cooperative Agreement Update - Engineering
MnDOT will fund the roundabout project for TH3 in 2008. They have indicated
an amount of $450,000, but it is possible they may be able to fund $594,000. As
funding is available the project will have to be let by end of June 2008. The state
is considering funding the PEER review required for this project. If this is done,
the City will not have to go through a joint powers agreement with the state.
MOTION by Fogarty, second by Wilson to direct staff to forward a letter to the
Department of Transportation accepting the funding and project responsibilities as
outlined in the attached letter for the TH3 roundabout project. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) Boulevard Tree Policy - Engineering
The current practice is for the City to remove and replace trees in the boulevard.
Staff is recommending the City continue the removal and stump grinding of trees
in the boulevard, but will no longer replace trees in the boulevard. This will be
communicated to residents through the website, newsletter and cable. Staff has
also drafted a letter for residents who call. MOTION by Pritzlaff, second by

three depending on the outcome of step one. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
Councilmember McKnight: At the last three DCC meetings, they awarded bids for the
radio consoles, furniture, and phone lines. The project is on budget and on schedule. The
DCC will open November 9,2007. They took a tour of the facility last week and it is a
very impressive building.
Councilmember Pritzlaff: When Council was on the park tour, he noticed Sunnyside
had the second lift on. He did not know that had occurred until the tour. A concern he
had last year was to try to minimize the sections paved and suggested using a wider paver
and have two sections rather than three. City Engineer Mann replied the second lift was
done last year and the contractor did not have the equipment to allow them to pave it in
two sections.
Regarding the Ash Street sod, he asked when the areas that are dead would be replaced.
City Engineer Mann replied the analysis will be done to determine a cost and it will be
brought back to Council.
City Attorney Jamnik: The summary for the City Administrator's evaluation is
complete and will be on the next Council agenda.
City Engineer Mann: Jen Collova updated Council on the Prairie Waterway
monitoring proposal. At the next Vermillion River Joint Powers Board meeting on
Thursday, they will be considering participating in the project up to $3,000 which is 25%
of the project.

using a performance evaluation survey that each Councilmember fills out anonymously. A
tabulation summary of that review is attached and incorporated as part of this required summary
report. Mr. Herlofsky's demonstrated leadership and communication skills were noted by all council
members in their verbal comments.
As part of its review, other areas of commendation were noted and the Administrator and Council
respectively discussed their positive feelings about Mr. Herlofsky's first year of service with the City.
The Council evaluations indicated that Mr. Herlofsky was fully meeting expectations of the Council
in all graded areas. There were no identified areas of deficiency or non-performance.
The Council indicated an interest in expanding and modifying the performance evaluation process to
seek additional information from staff and outside sources as part of the review process consistent
with the restrictions under which the evaluation of personnel must be conducted, and Mr. Herlofsky
was asked to consider modifications to the process consistent with the Council's wishes.

FROM: Brenda Wendlandt, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Laserfiche Project Update
DATE: June 4, 2007
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an update to the Council regarding the recent
purchase of Laserfiche software and the implementation plan to convert our current documents
into a digital system in order to effectively and efficiently manage and access City data.
DISCUSSION
Laserfiche is a document imaging system that provides for the digital storage and retrieval of
governmental data. This system was purchased as part of the new City hall project and is being
implemented now in order to more effectively manage our records, ensure business continuity,
and provide better access to public records while maintaining a high level of security for data
that is not public. With the data scanned and accessible in digital format, many paper records
(without historical value) can be eliminated, thereby, minimizing the amount of files that will
need to be moved to the new City hall.
Attached is a project organizational chart and timeline. The organizational chart shows the
project team responsible for working with the vendor and City staff to implement the software,
archiving data and training others on using the software to retrieve data. Given the enormous
amount of documents to be reviewed and either scanned or destroyed, the timeline only reflects
the process for City hall. Once the records in City hall have been archived, the project team will
implement a plan for the archiving of documents at other facilities including the storage facility
located next to the arena.
ACTION REQUESTED

SUBJECT: Boulevard Tree Policy
DATE: June 4,2007
INTRODUCTION/DISCUSSION
Currently the City Code requires boulevard trees to be planted approximately 40 feet apart in new
developments. In 2006, approximately 1000 new trees were planted in the City's boulevards. These
trees along with the other new trees that are planted every year will need trimming and a percentage,
based on current practice, would need to be replaced if or when they do not survive.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Tree Replacement
It is recommended that on residential streets the decision to replace the tree or not is left to the
homeowners discretion. If a homeowner wanted to replace a tree, it would be placed on private
property, not in the boulevard.
New Development
It is recommended to change the policy of requiring trees within the boulevard to locating trees in
new developments on private property when they are planted along a residential street. The only
exception would be if an agreement is made with a homeowners association or other such
organization where the responsibility to maintain the trees is that of the named organization in
perpetuity. By locating trees on private property, the City would eliminate damage to City vehicles,
namely solid waste trucks. Many trees are damaged and vehicles need repair as a result of tree
branches growing into the street. Sidewalk and curb damage from tree root growth would be
reduced.
Boulevard Tree Routes
It is recommended that trees continue to be planted in the boulevard on designated City boulevard
tree routes (see attached map). The majority of the proposed boulevard tree routes are designated as
major collector streets on the City's Thoroughfare Plan. The impact to solid waste vehicles would be
reduced as houses do not typically front major collector streets. It would also maintain some
boulevard tree planting within the City in some new developments. The net effect would continue to
increase the number of trees that the City would have to trim on an annual basis, but not as much as
the current policy. Sidewalk and curb issues would remain on boulevard tree routes. On boulevard
tree routes the City would continue to be responsible for replacing trees in the boulevard.
BUDGET IMPACT
If the City only replaced boulevard trees on major collector streets, based on current budget practices
there would be an annual cost savings of$6,000.00.
ACTION REQUESTED
Council consideration of the recommended boulevard tree policy changes. Upon Council's direction
the relevant ordinances will be updated to reflect the proposed changes and will be brought to the
Planning Commission for consideration.

Boulevard tree routes will continue to have trees planted in the boulevard. On boulevard
