He - 1 - ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 LEE ERGER RECOGNITION CONTINUED stated that he appreciated the cooperation that existed between the City Council and Park Commission, and was hopeful it would continue. He said, "We do have an active and talented Park Commission. There are two things that need the City Council's continued attention. One is that the City desperately needs a sports complex. Any cooperation between the City and School District should be pursued. The second item is the bike trail. I believe that easements should be obtained from new developments occurring within the City to facilitate completion of the trail. I will miss being a part of the Park Commission, but feel that I have served long enough."

ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: #1334 REBERS CONSTRUCTION - SUGARWOODS PLAT PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO PRD RESOLUTION #2917 Mr. Sid Rebers and Stephen Pflaum were present. Councilmember Callahan had asked that this item be removed from the Consent Agenda. He stated that though the consensus of the Council had previously been given, he regarded this as an improper method of governing the City. He said, "I think the proposed resolution is an example of the Planning Commission having decided to insert itself in a situation it would have been well advised, and was in fact well advised, not to do. I think it is imposing upon the citizens of the City by the manner in which this resolution is being adopted. I also think this is usurping the activities of the City Staff." Councilmember Goetten stated that Council may need to provide some guidelines and revise the established duties of the Planning Commission. Mayor Peterson concurred with Goetten. She stated that she was aware of Councilmember Callahan's position regarding this 2 - , I - , ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 ZONING FILE #1334 - REBERS CONSTRUCTION CONTINUED matter, but felt that the Planning Commission had worked very hard on this PRD. y ,r Mayor Peterson asked Mr. Pflaum and Mr. Rebers if they had any questions or comments and they indicated that they had none. It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Jabbour, to adopt Resolution #2917, amending Resolution #2652. Motion, Ayes -3, Callahan, Nay. Motion passed. #1521 STEVEN LOMBARDOZZI, 115 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD NORTH PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION RESOLUTION #2918 Mr. Lombardozzi and Mr. Peterson were present. Bernhardson presented information from the City Attorney pertaining to the issue of whether turning the private road into a public road constituted a "taking" by the City. He said, "The City Attorney has determined that Mr. Wear does not have a valid claim of a taking." Mayor Paterson asked the City Attorney whether it will be necessary for the City to reimburse Mr. Wear for the actual cost of constructing Wear Lane North and Wear Circle. Barrett replied, "The issue as to what is taken involves mainly the right of passage. The City is not picking up the road and taking it elsewhere. The road materials that have been placed there will remain. The expense of that road for Mr. Wear is essentially the ongoing maintenance, which the City has agreed to accept w!ien it becomes a public road. Historically, the subdivider has had to bear the cost of developing a public road. Mr. Wear is being treated no differently than any other subdividers of property involving a public road. As a regulatory matter, the City of Orono has already passed an Ordinance stating that the City has the power to allow the public to cross over so called private roads if the City deems it to be necessary. In other words, that is an element of property which is able to be regulated by the City's power." Mayor Peterson asked Barrett whether he had spoken to Mr. Wear or his legal counsel. Barrett replied, "No, I have not. I do have a letter from Mr. Wear's counsel that I received sometime ago. The letter makes a claim of a taking, but I have not exchanged drafts or otherwise tried to negotiate with him." Councilmember Jabbour asked when the City had passed the Ordinance stating that the public has the right to cross over private roads. C I , ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 ZONING FILE #1521- LOMBARDOZZI CONTINUED Bernhardson stated that the Ordinance had been passed sometime in May or June of 1990. Councilmember Goetten urged the Council to take a comprehensive look at the issue of public /private roads in Orono. Mayor Peterson asked Mr. Lombardozzi if he had any questions or comments pertaining to this matter. Mr. Lombardozzi stated that he was satisfied with the information that had been presented. It was moved by Mayor Peterson, seconded by Callahan, to adopt Resolution #2918, granting preliminary approval of a plat for the property located at 115 Old Crystal Bay Road North. Motion,. Ayes -4, Nays -0. Motion passed. MAYOR /COUNCIL REPORT: 1991 APPOINTMENTS RESOLUTION #2919 Mayor Peterson stated that the Acting Mayor appointment would be made separately. She asked Rosemary Schauer, reporter for the "Pioneer" newspaper, if the paper was circulated to all Orono residents. Ms. Schauer stated that she did not know for certain the extent of coverage within the City. She said, "Distribution is supposed to occur within the entire Orono School District. I would suggest that someone from the City check with our circulation department." Bernhardson stated that he woul being circulated. He said, "I information on'. various occasions. inform-ad that the 'Pioneer' covers District and the 'Laker' covers at District." d verify where the paper is have been told different The last I checked, I was at least the Orono School least the Westonka School ,:pis. Cherokee Ilse stated that she was aware of certain areas with Maple Plain addresses that were not receiving the paper. Councilmember Goetten stated that anyone that does not receive the paper only needs to call the "Pioneer" office and they will be included. Mayor Peterson stated that she wanted to know whether the northeast section of the City was receiving the paper. Bernhardson stated that he would verify that information. - 4 - A ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 1991 APPOINTMENTS CONTINUED Councilmember Goetten asked for clarification regarding the function of the Development Committee. Bernhardson replied, established under our Plann The Development Committee submitted to the City. I section of the Ordinance Committee." "The Development Committee was ad Unit Development Ordinance process. reviews all PUD proposals that are will provide you with a copy of the pertaining to the deities of the Mayor Peterson stated that the City must provide two primary Cable Commission members, as well as an alternate. She said, "It is preferred that the primary members be elected officials." Councilmember Jabbour suggested tabling the appointments to Lake Minnetonka Cable Communications Commission until a Council appointment has been made. Councilmember Callahan asked what the members of the LMCCC C� Mayor Peterson replied, "They primarily listen to reports, and monitor customer satisfaction." It was the consensus of Council that this appointment be delayed until such time as the Council appointment has been made. Councilmember Callahan asked the City Attorney to provide information regarding the term of the LMCD representative and whether the individual cities have the power of recall. He said, "I am not suggesting this to interfere with the appointment of JoEllen Hurr. I am merely asking because these questions seem to arise frequently. Councilmember Jabbour stated that he understood the Metropolitan Council's position to be that the individual cities do not have the power to recall their representatives. Mayor Peterson stated that it would be necessary for Council to appoint an alternate representative to West Hennepin Haman Services Board. Ms. Ilse stated that the Chair of that Board is an Orono representative in addition to David Ilse and LaDean McWilliams. Councilmember Callahan confirmed Ms. Ilse's comments and added that the City had not appointed the person currently serving as Chair. Bernhardson stated that he would look into the matter. M= I , ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 1991 APPOINTMENTS CONTINUED It was moved by Mayor Peterson, seconded by Goetten, to adopt Resolution #2919, setting forth the appointments for 1991, with the exception of the Lake Minnetonka Cable Communications Commission representative and the West Hennepin Human Services alternate. Staff is directed to provide additional information regarding the term of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District representative and whether the cities have the power to recall their representative. Goetten asked whether the motion could be amended to include the appointment of Richard Flint as Park Commission Chair. Mayor Peterson so amended her motion;. Goetten seconded. Motion, Ayes -4, Nays -0. Motion passed. It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to nominate Councilmember Callahan to serve as Acting Mayor in the absence of Mayor Petersen for the year 1991. Motion, Aye -4, Nays -0. Motion passed. COUNCIL POSITION APPLICATIONS Bernhardson presented Council with applications received by persons interest-ad in the Council position. He recommended tabling this matter until the January 28, 1991 Council meeting. It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to table this matter until the January 28, 1991 Council meeting. Motion, Ayes -4,, Nays -0. Motion passed. Mr. Curt Quady asked whether Council was obligated to appoint a Councilmember from the list presented. Mayor Peterson stated that Council would make a selection from the list presented, but could appoint someone not listed if they chose to do so.

Inc., in the amount of $1,900.00 for the Lift Station #8 renovation project. Motion, Ayes -4, Nays -0. Motion passed. PAY REQUEST #3, PUMPHOUSE #3 It was moved by Mayor Peterson, seconded by Jabbour, to approve Pay Request 43 to Richmar Construction in the amount of $32,474.80 for the Pumphouse #3 pump facility project. Motion, Ayes -4, Nays -0. Motion passed. - 6 - ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: LMCD SHORELAND REGULATIONS ; w Bernhardson stated that since the December 10, 1990 Orono Council meeting, the LMCD held a meeting. He said, "The meeting was held on December 12, 1990 and the DNR was present to explain the Shoreland Regulations. The City of Orono did not have a representative present. I believe that Councilmember Jabbour attended as a private citizen. There was a subsequent meeting of the 'Group of 8' on January 8th to discuss strategy. That was also the day the Metropolitan Council System's Committee held their first hearing on the Comprehensive Plan. The Mayors of the City of Wayzata and Spring Park were present at the hearing, in addition to representatives from the City of Excelsior and Orono. Due to other items on the hearing agenda, we were not able to make our presentation until 1:00 p.m. and had to leave the meeting before the LMCD made their comments. We indicated that we were concerned about the direction being taken. We suggested that since there is not unanimous agreement among the cities that it may be appropriate for the Metropolitan Council to send the plan back to the LMCD and allow more time to work out the differences. I don't know if that is the direction that the Met Council will take. We also raised the point that in our opinion, the LMCD should concentrate on water surface, rather than shoreland regulations. There were some concerns expressed privately by one Metro Council member regarding the LMCD becoming involved in the regulation of shoreland. Mr. Callahan and I have discussed that aspect further in the past few days. In the meantime, the LMCD has been trying to discuss various issues with the Group of 8. The LMCD met with representatives from Spring Park last Thursday and reviewed their shorela d regulations. They determined that few of the Spring Park shoreland regulations would need revising in order to concur with the LMCD's regulations. However, I spoke with the Mayor of Spring of Park and their City does still have concerns about the Comprehensive Plan. Today I received a Memorandum of Understanding that differs from that presented in the Council's information packet this time. The Memorandum is abbreviated and is the same as that they presented to the City of Spring Park. I also spoke with Gene Strommen today and he extended the same offer to sit down with representatives from Orono to discuss the shoreland regulations. I told Mr. Strommen I would get back to him with a response to his offer." Mayor Paterson questioned whether it would be beneficial to meet with the LMCD at this point. Councilmember Callahan replied, "It seems that nothing comes of these meetings. However, in order to be polite, we could agree to meet with them." - 7 - ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 LMCD SHORELAND REGULATIONS CONTINUED Councilmember Jabbour said, "Even though we are one of the eight cities, I believe Orono is approaching this from an entirely different aspect. As Mark mentioned before, our alliance with the other cities is likely to.fall apart because of our differences. Spring Park would probably like to see a more liberal approach taken with regard to lake conservation. Orono is much more conservative and would like to see more restrictive regulations. I do not believe it is necessary to have another body of government with levying authority to monitor what we have been doing here for some time. However, at the same time, it may be necessary to have such an agency monitoring other cities which have not been as conscientious about protecting Lake Minnetonka. Callahan agreed with Jabbour's comments. Jabbour said, "I am also concerned about specific language in the Statutes which require us to obtain approval from the adjacent municipality if we divert- from the boiler -plate language. I would like to have a legal opinion of that. I would not want the LMCD to become involved with trying to resolve differences between ourselves and our neighboring cities." Callahan said, "I agree, we would not want the LMCD performing that kind of function. In listening to this discussion, I recollected something that was said by the Mayor of Tonka Bay. He stated that all of the lake communities have been trying to do a good job of taking care of the lake. The rules and regulations that each city established for taking care of the lake are embodied in the Comprehensive Plans for each city. Each city was required to submit their Comprehensive Plans to the Met Council for approval. It is quite possible that it will be necessary to amend those Plans in order to adopt what the DNR wants. I believe we should try to get some protection from the Metropolitan Council since they approved all of these Comprehensive-.Plans. It may also be helpful in addressing the concerns expressed by Councilmember Jabbour." Jabbour said, "It is my understanding that before the LMCD Plan can be adopted it is necessary for Gen Olson and Steve Smith to introduce legislation giving the LMCD the ability to levy against properties. Gen Olson has indicated that she does not support that, but I've not heard Mr.. Smith's opinion." Callahan stated that he would be willing to attend a meeting with LMCD representatives if such a meeting is scheduled. Jabbour stated that he too would attend the meeting. Mayor Peterson asked whether JoEllen Hurr would be asked to attend the meeting. 7 ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 LMCD SHORELAND REGULATIONS CONTINUED Callahan stated that is was his belief that she would attend. i % Mr. Norm Paurus, who had at one time served as Chairman for the LMCD, stated that the DNR and LMCD have tried over the last three years to get the communities to agree to a plan. He said, "The plan was a consensus. The difficulty is that the DNR, by legislation, must impose their shoreline regulations. If the cities have no other proposals or alternatives, they will end up with the DNR regulations. The Metropolitan Council has given the authority to impose them, if the cities cannot reach another agreement. That is not a threat, that is a practical reality. The LMCD and DNR tried as best they. could, but met with the same arguments regarding development versus conservation. I believe that the Orono Council is going to be compelled to make some tough choices." Callahan stated that he strongly felt that the LMCD should not become involved in regulating the shoreline. He said, "The aspect of becoming involved in shoreland management is an extension of a very bad philosophy in the LMCD Plan. That seems to be the opinion of a majority of governing bodies and residents around the lakeshore." Jabbour added that because of other bodies of water within the City, that- Orono must adopt the DNR Shoreland Management regulations anyway. He said, "It makes no sense for us to adopt the DNB's regulations and then duplicate that by adopting the LMCD Plan for Lake Minnetonka. We feel that is repetitious and a waste of our time. If the City finds no philosophical differences between our existing regulations and the DNR's, we can adopt them for the entire City and be done with it_" Bernhardson stated that Councilmember Jabbour's earlier question regarding approval from adjacent cities does require further research. He said, "There is a question as to whether it is a vote of LMCD from the adjacent municipality that constitutes an acceptable substitute for such approval. There is also a question, if we were to proceed separately, whether the DNR's interpretation of all 14 communities constitute adjacent municipalities that are impacted by the variances." Jabbour said, "I would be willing to know the answers as soon as possible. Is there a diversion between our existing code and that of the DNB's? Are we going to be asking f,Dr exceptions ?" Bernhardson stated that he has been working with Jeanne Mabusth and .Michael Gaffron in reviewing the shoreland regulations. Mom ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 LMCD SHORELAND REGULATIONS CONTINUED Jabbour asked if the City would have a difficult time receiving approval of its shoreland regulations from the DNR. Bernhardson replied, "I do not believe we would have mach difficulty." Jabbour suggested that the City of Orono work with the City of Long Lake. He said, "Long Lake has been trying to draft some ordinances restricting jet skis and such on*Long Lake." Bernhardson stated that there are provisions in the law pertaining to lake surface use zoning of Long Lake. He said, "We tried to discuss this issue with Long Lake several years ago, but because of other intervening issues, it was not pursued. The City of Long Lake will have to independently address shoreland regulations for their community." Jabbour stated that the City of Orono should keep the City of Long Lake apprised of what it intends to submit to the DNR. He said, "I'm sure there will be a substantial difference in the way Orono approaches the regulations for Long Lake and how the City of Long Lake looks at it." It was agreed that Bernhardson would contact the appropriate LM--D persons to schedule a meeting to include Callahan, Jabbour and JoEllen Hurr. HIGHWAY 12 CORRIDOR STUDY Bernhardson presented information related to the Highway 12 Corridor issue a-vid asked Council if they wished to schedule a workshop session. Councilmember Jabbour asked if the three Highway 12 committees would attend the workshop session. Bernhardson stated that the the Technical, Citizen and Policy Committees would be asked to attend. It was the consensus of Council to hold a workshop session to discuss the Highway 12 corridor on January 23, 19:31 at 7:30 p.m. in the Orono Council Chambers. Councilmember Goetten questioned whether the Planning Commission would be asked to attend. Mayor Petersen directed Staff to invite the Planning Commission members to the January 23, 1991 and to provide them with a packet of information. She asked Mabusth to place this matter on the agenda for the January 22, 1991 Planning Commission meeting. - 10 - ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 1991 RECYCLING BID Bernhardson stated that the City had received two bids for the 1991 recycling contract. He .said, "Staff considers the bid received from Polka Dot to be most responsive because they bid a fixed rate. The other company bases its rate on the current prices for recycled materials. There is also the issue of possibly paying landfill costs with the other company and we have not had to do so with Polka Dot." Councilmember Goetten asked why the rate had increased so significantly this year. Bernhardson stated that the increase may largely be due to Polka Dot's new program for picking up plastic containers. Mr. Quady stated that he had read information stating that Hennepin County pays up to 80% of the cost of recycling programs and asked if that is true. Gerhardson stated that Hennepin County does pay 8:1% of the program for each city that meets its established goal. He said, "However, that will most definitely be discontinued." It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Jabbour, to award the 1991 curbside recycling contract to Polka Dot Recyclers of Buffalo for an annual amount of $40.,680.00. Motion, Ayes - -4, Nays -0. Motion passed. 1991 INSURANCE RENEWALS Bernhardson provided Council with information pertaining to the renewal of insurance coverages effective January 1, 1991. It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Goetten, to award the City of Orono 1991 insurance policies to the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, United Fire and Casualty, We=stern National and the St. Paul Companies, effective January 1, 1991, <<s proposed. Motion, Ayes -4, Nays -0. Motion passed. POLICE CHIEF SELECTION PROCESS Bernhardson provided Council with information regarding the process for selecting a Chief of Police. He said, "The attached chart provides a listing of entities that Council may wish to include in the process. If Council could perhaps complete the worksheet next week, we could put together a request proposal." Mayor Peterson asked Bernhardson what it may cost to enlist the services of an external consultant. Bernhardson replied, "It would cost approximately $15,000 to $18,000 if the City were to engage an outside source to assist with the entire process. However, that amount would obviously be less if the level of involvement is reduced. It may be =4= ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 14, 1991 1991 POLICE CHIEF SELECTION CONTINUED appropriate to put together a program, including various options, and solicit proposals. Council could then decide which options to include based on the proposal." Councilmember Jabbour asked Bernhardson if he knew of any particular firms which specialize in law enforcement. Bernhardson replied, "I know of only a couple firms locally that provide police chief recruitment services. There may be other firms in the Metropolitan area." Jabbour said, "I feel there are certain issues within the Policy= Department that need to be addressed. Are we going to address those issues in conjunction with the search for a new Police Chief ?" Councilmember Callahan said, "I would suggest that we establish what we would like the new Police Chief to do before we do any hiring." Councilmember Goetten asked whether the contracting cities would play any part in hiring a Chief of Police. Bernhardson stated that it is up to Council to determine the degree of involvement the contract cities would have in the selection process. Councilmember Jabbour asked Bernhardson if there is a specific time period which must be considered for hiring a new Chief. Bernhardson replied, "Thin Police Department could exist for a period of time with an acting Chief. However, it may be more appropriate to have the process completed and a new Chief hired as quickly as possible. I suggest that mainly because the budget process will begin in June and July. It would be helpful to have the new person on -board to assist with the budget process." Council accepted the information presented by the City Administrator and took no formal action. SEPTIC INSPECTOR POSITION - EMPLOYMENT* It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Goetten, to hire Steven J. Weckman as the regular full -time manager of the Sewage Treatment Program to commence on Tuesday, January 15, 1991.
