( #11) #1872 ORONO WOODLANDS, INC. - PAUL PHILLIPS, 2100/2140 SIXTH
AVENUE NORTH - VACATION OF DRAINAGE & UTILITY EASEMENTS -
RESOLUTION #3332
Mabusth explained the memo from Steve Weckman specifically discussing salt based surface
discharge (water softener discharge). The question is whether we could allow this discharge
on the surface. Mabusth asked Steve Weckman to give some background that this has been
allowed in the past. He contacted Mark Westpetal at MPCA who concurred that it was
• alright to do but that if there were wetlands adjacent, he would prefer a trench be installed to
carry the discharge. He also stated that if there weren't severe slopes a trench wouldn't be
needed and it could be discharged on the surface and wouldn't damage the ground.
It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Hurr to recommend approval of Resolution #3332
for Orono Woodlands Inc. approving the vacation of the drainage and utility easement
dedicated in the Eckstrom Addition over Lot 2, Block 1 and in the Phillips Woodland Terrace
over Lot 4, Block 1 as shared lot line will be redefined and former drainage and utility
easements will be obsolete. Ayes: 4 Nays, 0.
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
(A) Comment on Application #1829 Diane Sieff
Mayor Callahan commented on a visit by Gerhardson and Mabusth to the site. He had
requested an assessment of how Wildhurst Trail got to it's current condition and what could
be done to improve the situation. He felt that Mrs. Sieff would be suffering damage to her
property and that the condition shouldn't exist in the City. Mayor Callahan requested that
further additional information be gathered and further consideration be given as to
recommendations for repair of Wildhurst Trail.
Goetten noted that this application had been on a the Consent Agenda at the last meeting and
she voted against it. Her concerns were shared driveway and hardcover excesses.
• 3
(B) #13 on Consent Agenda
When the Ordinance was presented to Council for correction, some pages were omitted. •
Moorse explained that only a sentence was supposed to be changed but several pages were
omitted instead.
While this particular event caused no trouble, Mayor asked that Moorse investigate this
situation to find out what happened.
(C) Information on County Road 6 and County Road 15
Hurr noted that she and Gerhardson are meeting with residents interested in Bagley Road
which is the cutoff from Ferndale onto County Road 15. The committee had looked at closing
the cutoff, and just having one entrance onto 15 which would intersect at right angles.
Residents were notified. The meeting will be this Wednesday, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Hurr also noted that Thursday morning at 7:30 a.m. the County Road 6 committee will meet
and Bruce Plachek will be present to discuss the matter.
Hurr stated the County Road 15 discussion previously set for October 11 has been changed to
October 25 at 7:00 p.m. This would be part of the regular Council meeting scheduled on that
date.
Goetten commented on a call she received from a resident who had been at the information
meeting and read an article in the Sun Sailor that made it sound as though a decision had
been made. She explained that was not the case and she explained he could call council
members with questions if he wished. •
Hurr noted that she had not received any calls and that the county is asking for a resolution
advising them that we're interested in having them pursue some more detailed plan.
Goetten asked that any press members present make it clear that a decision has not been
made.
Kelley asked Hurr for clarification of location of Bagley Road and what the thoughts are on
that issue.
Hurr replied that it would be closed and traffic would come on Ferndale, the intersection
would be straightened so it would come more at right angles rather than a curve. A traffic
count was done and there were 14 trips in a day on Bagley Road.
Kelley suggested that the traffic count would be most realistic in June and July.
Goetten reported that she was appointed to the League of Minnesota Cities Conference
Manning Committee and asked the Council for comments and suggestions.
(D) Permit Report
Mayor Callahan commented on the surge of permits from one year to the next and asked why
that was.
4 •
Mabusth explained the major cause is the large project at the former Pillsbury property.
• POLICE CHIEF'S REPORT
Police Chief provided definitions of his report. Also included some six -month statistics that
deal with Part I and Part II crimes.
Chief noted that he also provides a report to each city which lists crimes individually. He
noted he could provide this report for all four cities or just the City of Orono.
Chief mentioned a request for radar enforcement and monitoring on County Road 15 in the
area of Orono Orchard Road to assess the situation and determine what can be done about it.
Chief also mentioned the curve and impact on Orono Orchard Road and how difficult it is to
turn off of Orono Orchard Road and go east. He has instructed officers to be in that area
more frequently for monitoring. The plan is to make that stretch of road have a reputation for
being monitored regularly in the attempt to encourage drivers to slow down in that area.
Hurr noted that there is a sign available that displays driver's speeds and wondered if one
could be rented or purchased.
Chief will look into the cost of renting or purchasing one of these signs.
Chief commented that there might be an opportunity to seek a grant from the State of
Minnesota for traffic enforcement funds to cover the DWI enforcement, seatbelt enforcement
and speed enforcement. He asked if the Council to seek this grant.
• Kelley asked Chief how the Council should evaluate the police department on how well it's
operating, whether the Chief and staff feel they're doing a good job and what they'd like to
improve, and whether the staff has been evaluated and how that's done.
Chief replied that a new evaluation form is being implemented which include a specific goal
section. The current form doesn't allow for a goal section.
Kelley stated that he feels it's the councils position to make sure the evaluation process is-in
place and would like to review the process. He also stated that he would like to hear Chief's
philosophy into management of officers.
Chief explained that he was approached by a student at Orono High School who was in Police
Explorer Unit for the Water Patrol, and who is also interested in exploring law enforcement
as a career and is seeking an internship with the department.
(0) JIM DANIELS - CABLE TV ADMINISTRATOR - 1994 BUDGET
Mr. Daniels introduced Commissioner Jim Pattrin. He noted that Commissioner Pattrin and
his committee had met with the cable company several times with the goal of additional
visibility and upgrades to the studio facilities. They've developed a good relationship with
the cable company and added 1 staff as a result of the 1983 proposal, upgraded facilities, and
asked for more visibility.
Kelley asked how many residents in Orono have cable.
• 5
Mr. Daniels did not know specific figures but said that Orono is one of the top three
penetrated cities (along with Excelsior and Shorewood) in the fourteen city area. The overall •
penetration is about 55 %, and that Orono is probably around 50 %.
He clarified for Hurr that the figure represents number of homes passed (by the cable).
Kelley asked how the Cable Commission budget is funded and where the money comes from.
Mr. Daniels explained that the commission's budget is not funded from tax dollars, but rather
from a 5% annual franchise fee paid by the cable companies from annual revenues.
Kelley asked if there is any ability on the Council to try to keep those costs down.
Mr. Daniels said he would explain that in his budget presentation. He stated the 1994 budget
does not have any noticeable differences to it in operations. There is a 0% increase with the
exception of the required payment of the insurance bonds, worker's comp. etc. that have
increases. It would be the same as last years budget except that the Commission has added
two additional City Council meetings. The Commission pays to cover a total of seven City
Council meetings aired on the government access channel and that's where the bulk of the
1994 budget increase goes. It includes the costs of additional equipment and trained contract
employees (not staff).
Hun asked how the Commission chooses which City Councils are aired.
Mr. Daniels explained that the Commission does not make the choice but that the first two
cities to take official action to have their City Council meetings appear on Channel 8 will be
the first two cities to be covered. This is how it happened in 1993.
Kelley asked what the top -line increase in revenue was between 1993 and 1994. •
Mr. Daniels replied that it's a projected figure at $125,500 for 1994 compared with $120,000
for 1993. He noted that the Commission has had monies set aside for years to activate
government access and they used some of those funds.
Mr. Daniels apologized that the budget was not available for the meeting. He asked that the
Council would approve the Commission's budget for 1994.
Mayor Callahan stated that the Council would prefer to see the budget and would hold action
until they had reviewed it, especially since some of the Council members have not previously
seen such a budget.
ENGINEER'S REPORT
City Engineer Cook was present. There was nothing new to report.
( * #12) FALL CLEAN UP
It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Hun, to accept the information presented for Fall
Clean Up Day on Saturday, October 16, 1993 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
6 •
( * #13) ORDINANCE AMENDING SEC. 9.34' FIRE PROTECTION &
• PREVENTION' - ORDINANCE NO. 121, SECOND SERIES
It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Hurr, to adopt Ordinance No. 121, Second Series
repealing Ordinance No. 116, Second Series and amending Section 9.34 adopted April 1,
1984 entitled "Fire Protection and Prevention ".
( #15) LONG LAKE FIRE CONTRACT
Mr. Moorse explained that the contract is for 3 years, running through 1996. Major issues
were resolved and this contract is a result of that process. Moorse asked if there were any
questions regarding the language of the contract.
Kelley clarified Article 9 -- it's a three year contract and the Council has to ratify the
following year's budget. There are '94, '95, and '96 estimates which can be found on the last
page.
Moorse noted that if the budget is not ratified in the first year of the three -year contract, then
the contract terminates two years forward. He went on to say that if the contract is not
ratified in 1995, it automatically becomes the "not to exceed" number given for 1995 and then
it would become the "not to exceed" number for 1996. If the budget is not agreed
upon/ratified, the (3 -year) term would not be extended.
Mayor Callahan and Moorse noted that budget figures are reviewed each September for the
following year. If the budget is not ratified in 1994, City is bound by the contract for the
years 1995 and 1996. Failure to ratify the budget or mutual agreement terminates the
agreement. If City is dissatisfied with the service, then Council would not ratify the budget.
• Hurr clarified that the contract calls for a. two year cancellation. She also asked what
circumstances might call for termination of the contract.
Mayor Callahan suggested that if Medina for example opted out of the contract, then the
contract would be between Long Lake and Orono.
Kelley is in favor of this contract for both Long Lake and Orono as it would be of mutual
benefit.
Hurr asked if Medina dropped out of the contract, Orono would not have to agree to a change
in the numbers.
Moorse agreed but added that they would probably come back with a revised budget.
Mayor Callahan commented that there was a question about insurance.
Moorse explained Paragraph 7 - the question was whether the 1.6 million policy includes the
negligent acts and personal injury. Long Lake's Mayor said that's what it's supposed to mean
and Orono's attorney agreed saying that. we need to include language to clarify that and
present it to Long Lake.
Mayor Callahan asked if Orono would be covered as additionally insured.
• 7
Moorse said the contract probably would not have that language but since both Cities are
covered by the same insurance carrier, the LMCIT, that is really how it would work. He said •
again that this paragraph would be clarified.
Hurr asked if Orono would be establishing its own Equipment Fund.
It was explained that one exists already in the amount of $30,000.
It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Hurr, to approve the fire contract - subject to
clarification of Paragraph 7. Ayes 4, Nays 0.
( #16) POLICE CONTRACT
Mayor Callahan commented that the contract has the same roll -over feature as the fire
contract whereby the continuation of the contract is dependent upon the ratification of the
budget from year to year. He would like to see a provision that if one of the other contract
cities terminated the contract, that it would open to renegotiation because the impact of such
an event could be extensive and require considerable study into the cost effects.
Kelley concurs.
Mayor Callahan requests Moorse to tell the Mayor and Council of Long Lake that the Council
prefers to hold off on making a decision until after November 1st.
It was moved by Mayor Callahan to table the Police Contract.

( #14) WATERCRAFT ORDINANCE
• Moorse explained that the Council discussed a watercraft ordinance several months ago for
Long Lake regarding personal watercraft and hours of operation. The Council had a number
of concerns. As outlined, there will be a 15 mph speed limit before 8:00 a.m. and after
sunset, along with general language about safety recommendations for personal watercraft.
There are no restrictions from operating in specific areas.
Hurr asked what the general speed limit of Section 2 is as set forth by the DNR.
Moorse stated that he's not aware of the actual speed.
Mayor Callahan commented that some of the language sounds ambiguous.
Kelley stated he is opposed to the ordinance saying that it is designed to regulate the actions
of a few people and would impose hardships on the majority of individuals.
Goetten concurs.
Mayor Callahan feels that Long Lake must have sufficient reason for drafting the ordinance.
Hurr stated that a boat with proper radar equipment would be required in order to enforce the
ordinance.
Hurr stated that she would like to know what this ordinance would do that the state
regulations don't already do.
• Kelley asked if it applies to snowmobiles since that would be a bigger concerns.
Goetten stated that she thought representatives from Long Lake were going to present their
reasons for asking for this ordinance.
It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Kelley, to table the ordinance for further
clarification and language. Mayor Callahan would like to eliminate sections 1 -3. Ayes: 4,
Nays 0.
( #17) HIGHWAY 12 & WILLOW INTERSECTION
Moorse explained that he talked with Bob Vasek with MNDOT regarding the ideas from the
meeting. One suggestion was to place "no left turn" signs at that intersection during rush
hours. Mr. Vasek indicated that generally that type of signage does not deter people from
making turns and its use would require continuous enforcement. Another idea
was to install a sign saying "signal your turn" but that would not have a significant impact.
Regarding physical barriers, Mr. Vasek understood the option was not a serious consideration.
This would be the best option, however, to restrict left hand turns.
Goetten asked about the cost of installing the barriers.
Moorse had inquired and found that Mr. Vasek is looking into the costs.
Hurr asked if drivers could cross the street and was told that crossing would be restricted as
well.
• 9
Kelley asked if the City of Orono has a long -term game plan as to the flow of traffic. For
instance, would the stop light be removed with the eventual continuation of service roads. •
Mayor Callahan stated that he didn't believe anyone had a position regarding that.
Kelley feels it is important to have a longer range plan in place because it's important to keep
Highway 12 flowing.
Mr. Peterson asked whether MNDOT would provided the signs if requested.
Moorse stated that Vasek did not respond specifically to that question. He expects to hear
from Vasek soon as his people are coming out in the next week or so to explore other
possibilities. For example, a flashing light used as an indicator, to be placed about 200 feet
before the intersection.
Kelley noted that if Old Crystal Bay Road would be closed, there would be more bus traffic
on Willow during the school year. He asked how this problem would be handled so that
buses could make the necessary left hand turn from Willow.
Hurr suggested having police at the intersection and that MNDOT should be aware of the
situation.
Mayor Callahan suggest closing Willow at the same time of closing Old Crystal Bay Road,
thereby forcing the traffic down further.
Hurr asked what the objections to placing the barrier would be.
Mayor Callahan responded that one would be the inability to cross. Additionally, there are •
objections from people who are opposed to cutting off the left turn.
Goetten noted that businesses especially don't want the left turn eliminated.
Glenn Cook noted that the Mayor of Long Lake feels the barrier is not an acceptable solution
to the problem.
In light of the fact that most drivers disregard warning signs as suggested, Goetten stated that
she had asked whether the area could be monitored with a report on progress in six months.
The Chief said he could do that.
( #18) ROOF REPAIR CRYSTAL BAY POST OFFICE
It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Goetten, to approve the roof repair bid for Plymouth
Roofing for an amount of $5,300.00. Ayes: 4, Nays 0.
( #19) EASEMENT ACQUISITION OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD BRIDGE
It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Hurr, to approve the easement acquisition for the Old
Crystal Bay Road Bridge with VCI Capital Inc. in the amount of $4,448.00 which is
reimbursable to the City from Municipal State Aid Funds. Ayes 4, nays 0.

DISCUSSION OF MUSA EXPANSION APPLICATION
• Hurr explained that the Met Council said that the MUSA application was incomplete because
we had not agreed that we would comply with the storm water management requirements that
are part of national regulations today. In our (Mayor Callahan and Hurr) discussion with
Mary Smith, it seems that they are comfortable with .... six months or maybe a year. Mike
says it's a minor amendment and once we agree to an acceptable timeframe, it could be
completed fairly quickly. Mr. Nettles would like to proceed with his connection and the
purchaser of the property we are trying to sell would also like to proceed.
Mayor Callahan stated that he feels there would be serious difficulties with the stormwater
plan. These concerns are contained in the Metropolitan Councils own draft of what they want
done. He warns that there will be problems down the road. However, with the new
information Hurr presented, it sounds as though the City would be involved in the problems
anyway. Would like to suggest that we direct staff to bring to budget meeting a resolution
draft to accomplish the substance of our discussion tonight so that we can formally adopt
necessary language for the application.
It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Hurr, to approved the Alan Nettles Sewer
Connection subject to the above request of staff. Ayes: 4, Nays 0.
( #21) ALAN NETTLES SEWER CONNECTION
Moorse explained that Mr. Nettles proposes to pay his connection over time rather than in a
lump sum. Moorse has looked into this and determined that it would be easy to do - simply
add it as an assessment to his property. He warned, however, that this would set a precedent
and that there are other situations that would come up requesting the same arrangement.
• Kelley asked where the money would go.
Moorse explained that it would be available to fund debt service.
Hurr asked how the figure was arrived at.
Moorse explained that the original assessment was $9,235 and increased over the years by
costs of living increases.
Hurr asked what interest rate is paid by those individuals who opted to have the fee added as
an assessment.
Moorse stated that he believed it was about 8.5 %.
Hurr stated that she feels the same rate of interest that original homeowners are paying would
have to be charged.
Kelley asked how long Mr. Nettles wants the term of payment to be.
Mr. Nettles proposed that since he purchased the property in August 1986, he would pay
down the fee to the point as other homeowners and to finance the remainder to the same term
as other homeowners at the same rate of interest.
• 11
Hun asked what precedent this would set for the other two properties. Would they have to be
financed for seven years also? •
Moorse stated it would be possible and is considering whether this situation is unique enough
to set it apart.
Goetten feels there is a difference between established properties and new properties.
Kelley agreed that the distinction is very important and that requiring the full payment could
impose a hardship on the owner of an existing property whereas the fee could be
included in the financing of a new property.
Mayor Callahan stated that he is opposed to the request.
Hurr stated her concern about the precedent.
Mayor Callahan stated that a decision would have to be postponed until the full Council is
present since the issue is split evenly.
Mr. Nettles commented concerning the precedent, that there is a major difference between the
amount of money an individual has to come up with versus the money a developer would be
required to come up with and that it would be more difficult for an individual to obtain the
funds.
Mayor Callahan noted that there is not a purchase agreement signed by Mr. Melamed and that
if there is no purchase agreement by Friday, he would vote no on Monday because he felt it
was not worth it to make the arrangement for just one property.
( #20) ROAD MAINTENANCE POLICY
Moorse explained the information included in the packet describes what there is to consider if
the Council is going to move away from its current policy of leaving the private roadways on
their own in terms of maintenance. The information describes locations and conditions of
roads to be considered, along with an estimate of costs for maintenance.
Hun asked how many roads don't have cul -de -sacs and what would it cost to build that right
of way for each one.
Gerhardson noted that the costs listed do not include the acquisition of those rights of way.
Kelley asked how many of the roads wish to remain private.
Gerhardson said he believes he's had a call from every one of them indicating an interest in a
policy or procedure regarding the City providing maintenance.
Hun commented on Millston being called a private road because of the school bus using it.
Kelley explained that the buses do use the private roads to drop the children off at the door as
a matter of safety.
It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Hun, to recommend acceptance of the
information. Ayes: 4, Nays 0.

( #22) RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION TAMARACK SENIOR CENTER
• MEMBERS RESOLUTION #3333
Mayor Callahan noted that the Resolution lacked some language that would convey the
Council's true appreciation.
Gerhardson clarified that the actual award would include that language that is not evident in
the Resolution.
It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Kelley, to recommend approval of the
Resolution of Appreciation Tamarack Senior Center Members. Ayes: 4, Nays 0. Hurr will be
present to take a photograph of the presentation.
( #22A) BID AWARD FOR UNDERGROUND TANK REMOVAL
It was moved by Mayor Callahan, seconded by Goetten, to award the bid to Griffin Service
Station in the amount of $1,800.00. Ayes: 4, Nays 0.
Kelley asked if they would actually destroy the tank and not just leave it in a landfill or other
location.
Gerhardson explained that they would render the tank harmless on the site and the tank will
then be properly disposed of.
