City staff has reviewed the request and observed traffic patterns in the area. The Albert Lea Medical Center was also consulted on the implication this action would have on their employees.

Councilor Baker moved this motion and seconded by Councilor Marin. On roll call vote the following councilors voted in favor of said motion: Councilors: Baker, Marin, Olson, Severtson, Brooks and Mayor Erdman. Mayor Erdman declared the motion passed.
c. REQUEST FROM EHRHARDT PROPERTIES – PARKING IN ALLEY
City Manager Simonsen explained that the City Council has received a request from George & Margaret Ehrhardt to pave a section of the alley between 321 Sibley and 709 Wilson Street to allow for parking for a business located in that area. The area measures approximately 25 feet wide and 40 feet long and would be fenced and used by Doug’s Auto Body to park cars that he is working on.
The City has been working with the property owners, renter and neighboring businesses for several months. The city code does not allow parking in alleys, but Doug’s Auto Body has been parking at this location for several years because the property does not have parking stalls. There are typically two or three cars in the alley at a time. The property owner is requesting a paved area and fence to allow the vehicles to be parked in a more discrete fashion.
The neighboring businesses are opposing the installation of a fence in this area as it would deteriorate the aesthetics, allow the spreading of vehicles to a larger area, block the view of their buildings, and eliminate a place for snow in the winter months. City staff has reviewed the request and do not recommend approving the paved parking or fencing in this area. City staff further recommends that the no parking ordinance be enforced in this alley.
Mr. Doug Hallum, owner of Doug’s Auto Body explained the problem and stated that he would be willing to work something out with Cafourek and Associates.
Mr. George Erhardt thanked the council for considering this request and trying to resolve the issue.
Mr. Cafourek stated that he purchased his property in a TIF District. There was a home there, which was taken down. He stated that Doug’s Auto Body had a limo parked there for four years and it was never moved. Cars are dropped off and Mr. Hallum has issues with following through. Mr. Cafourek stated that there are parts leaning up against a neighboring building and he is trying to clean this area up. He is not in favor of granting this request.
MOTION: Move to deny this request.
Councilor Brooks moved this motion and seconded by Councilor Severtson. On roll call vote the following councilors voted in favor of said motion: Councilors: Baker, Olson, Severtson, Brooks and Mayor Erdman. Councilor Marin voted nay. Mayor Erdman declared the motion passed.
4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. ORDINANCE 113, 3d AMENDING TREE ORDINANCE
City Manager Simonsen explained that Chapter 70 of the City Code currently addresses vegetation in general and shade tree disease control. This is the second reading of Ordinance 103, 3d which would amend the existing tree ordinance to include a section regarding tree planting standards, orders to treat or remove trees and the procedure set forth to do so. The ordinance was first read at the September 10, 2007 City Council meeting after recommendation for approval by the Park & Recreation Advisory Board. City Staff will develop policies for notification of tree removal on private property, etc.
MOTION: Move to introduce the second reading of Ordinance 113,3d amending the Tree Ordinance.
Councilor Olson moved this motion and seconded by Councilor Baker. On roll call vote the following councilors voted in favor of said motion: Councilors: Baker, Marin, Olson, Severtson Brooks and Mayor Erdman. Mayor Erdman declared the motion passed.

Technologies be withdrawn from the JOBZ program due to the limited benefits received. Audits conducted on the project verify that project goals have not been met. The State of Minnesota concurs with this decision. This resolution would nullify the JOBZ Business Subsidy Agreement between the City of Albert Lea, Minnesota and M. F. Technologies, Inc. and Alamco Wood Leasing, Inc. effective immediately.

The work will include three new traffic control loop detectors, a relocation of the traffic control box, and the reconfiguration of the traffic lights at the northwest corner of Fountain Street and West Avenue. The right turn lane will add an additional 13 feet to the existing drive lane to the west as well as a five foot concrete sidewalk. The Medical Center will be paying for all costs associated with the project. Engineering staff has reviewed the plans and have no objections to their request.

g. RESOLUTION 07-176 – DISTRIBUTING FINAL COSTS FOR JOB 0510 – TIGER HILLS SUBDIVISION, PHASE I
City Manager Simonsen explained that the final costs associated with the Tiger Hills Phase I Development are now complete. The final costs totaled $1,243,689.07. This exceeds the original cost estimate by $115,481.77. Two large items were added to the contract through change orders. The largest item was the addition of 18 inches of select granular borrow to the road design per the geotechnical engineer’s recommendation. The soils and ground water conditions at the site also warranted deeper road section, geo-textile fabric and edge drain. In addition, three lots were divided after construction began requiring installation of new water and sewer services.
The original cost estimate for the developer has been assessed to the forty-two lots in the development per the development agreement. The final costs indicate that the balance owed by the developer is now $86,735.94 more than originally assessed. City staff recommends incorporating the additional balance into Resolution 06-319, increasing the annual payment by the amount of change orders.
There are also several properties in the county that will be assessed for the lift station when they are annexed and/or developed. $147,281.28 of city costs may be held for future assessments as recommended. This resolution would accept the final costs and assessments for Tiger Hills Phase I as outlined in Amendment #2 to the Agreement for Completion of Subdivision Development—Tiger Hills Development Phase I.
Resolution 07-176 was introduced by Councilor Olson, seconded by Councilor Severtson. On roll call vote, the following councilors voted in favor of said resolution: Councilors: Baker, Marin, Olson, Severtson, Brooks and Mayor Erdman. Mayor Erdman declared the resolution passed.

h. PUBLIC HEARING AND RESOLUTION 07-177 – ADOTING FINAL ASSESSMENTS FOR JOB 0610 – ALLEY BETWEEN RAYMOND AVENUE & ALICE AVENUE
City Manager Simonsen explained that a final assessment hearing is being held to consider the project costs for Job 0610 involving the concrete paving of the alley between Raymond Avenue and Alice Avenue. The project involves the installation of a “dish” shaped concrete surface and the replacement of two retaining walls and concrete aprons. The final project costs totaled $78,516.74 with 49% being assessed to adjacent property owners and the city costs totaling 51%. The amount assessed to residents did not change from the proposed assessment because the final costs were higher than the estimated costs. Interest on the assessments shall be charged at a rate of 5.25% unless paid in full within 30 days of adoption.
Mayor Erdman opened the Public Hearing for this project and called three times for public comment. No one came forward either for or against this project. Mayor Erdman closed the public hearing.

i. PUBLIC HEARING AND RESOLUTION 07-178 – ADOPTING FINAL ASSESSMENTS FOR JOB 0611 – TIGER HILLS SUBDIVISION PHASE II
City Manager Simonsen explained this a final assessment hearing is being held on Tiger Hills Phase II Development involving the installation of curb and gutter, bituminous roadway, sewer main, water main, utility service lines and storm sewer in the Tiger Hills Phase II Subdivision. It also involved grading the site into buildable residential lots and providing street lighting. The total project cost is $477,945.32 with 99% of the project being assessed and less than 1% being city costs.
The final project cost is $78,748.46 less than the original estimate. The cost reduction is due largely to the good soils that were encountered throughout this phase of the project, allowing a standard roadway section rather than the thicker section that was used in Phase I.
The assessments shall be payable in equal annual installments over a period of ten years with the first installment payable on or before the first Monday in January 2008 and shall bear interest at the rate of 5.25% effective the first Monday in January unless paid in full within 30 days of adoption for any assessments remaining unpaid at that time.
Mayor Erdman opened the Public Hearing for this project and called three times for public comment. No one came forward either for or against this project. Mayor Erdman closed the public hearing.

j. PUBLIC HEARING AND RESOLUTION 07-179 – ADOPTING FINAL ASSESSMENTS FOR JOB 0631 - 2007 NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
City Manager Simonsen explained that this resolution would adopt the final assessments for Job 0631 - 2007 Neighborhood Improvement Project involving street improvements to roads in the north section of town as outlined in the resolution. The total project cost is $383,062.05 of which $277,807.94 is assessable to property owners. The assessments shall be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period of ten years with the first installment to be payable on or before the first Monday in January 2008 and shall bear interest at the rate of 5.25% unless paid in full within 30 days of adoption. The final assessments are approximately 28% lower than the proposed assessments due to the competitive bids received. The city cost was also decreased by over $46,000.
Mayor Erdman opened the Public Hearing for this project and called three times for public comment.
Mr. Melvin Janowitz, 2013 Highland Avenue stated his concern with large holes filled with water during the construction and would like to see future projects fence these types of areas.
Mayor Erdman closed the public hearing.
Resolution 07-179 was introduced by Councilor Baker, seconded by Councilor Olson. On roll call vote, the following councilors voted in favor of said resolution: Councilors: Baker, Marin, Olson, Severtson, Brooks and Mayor Erdman. Mayor Erdman declared the resolution passed.
(See Secretary’s Original Resolution 07-179 included with these minutes)
k. PUBLIC HEARING AND RESOLUTION 07-180 – ADOPTING FINAL ASSESSMENTS FOR JOB 0607 – EAST MAIN STREET LIGHTING
City Manager Simonsen explained that this resolution would adopt the final assessments for Job 0607 involving the installation of 105 street lights along East Main Street and T.H. 65. The total project cost is $688,891.31, with 28% being assessable and 72% being city cost. The assessments shall be payable in equal annual installments extending over a period of ten years at a rate of 5.25% unless paid in full within 30 days of adoption.
The assessments were calculated by having the city pay the cost of the banners, banner brackets, holiday decoration brackets and outlet costs. Wetlands, unbuildable areas and MnDot and city right-of-way were included as a city cost. It was determined that the East Main Street lighting is a benefit to the businesses along the corridor. Because of this, 50% of the lighting costs minus the decorative costs were assessed to the property owners along the corridor. The assessments are based on front footage. On the east side of T.H. 65 the property owners were assessed 25% because it is the back side of their properties. The amount assessed did not change from the proposed assessment because the final costs were higher than the estimated costs.
Mayor Erdman opened the Public Hearing for this project.
Mr. Kent Erlandson, 321 Williams Road stated that the lights do beautify the city but not attract business to the Karl building; the cost is too much and is not going to help out this business.
Mr. Chuck Karl, 1902 East Main stated that he is disappointed with the lighting. They give off very little light and it does nothing for his business as he closes at 5:00 p.m. There are too many banners, too close together. Businesses should be assessed for a basic light pole rather than a fancy light pole. These lights do not light the way into the city as proposed.
Mr. Manuel Cantu Jr. 113 McArthur Drive stated the lighting is very bad. The illumination does not cover each other and everyone knows that is this is not the correct lighting.
City Manager Victoria Simonsen read a letter into the record from Mr. Jon R. Rettke, Eastside 66, 2001 E. Main Street opposed to his assessment.
Mayor Erdman closed the public hearing.
Resolution 07-180 was introduced by Councilor Severtson, seconded by Councilor Baker. On roll call vote, the following councilors voted in favor of said resolution: Councilors: Baker, Olson, Severtson, and Mayor Erdman. Councilors: Marin and Brooks voted nay. Mayor Erdman declared the resolution passed.
(See Secretary’s Original Resolution 07-180 included with these minutes)
l. RESOLUTION 07-181 – APPROVING DISTRICT #241 AGREEMENT FOR CITY ARENA ICE TIME RENTALS
City Manager Simonsen explained that this resolution would authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with the Independent School District #241 for the rental of ice time at the City Arena. The School District agrees to pay the City $50,000 in two payments for its hockey program including boys and girls varsity and junior varsity games and practices. Games will be scheduled between the High School Athletic Director and the City Arena Manager. Use of the facilities includes the dressing rooms, team showers and equipment area for both the Albert Lea teams and the visiting teams. The School District is responsible for providing their own officials, score board operators, penalty box operators and announcers at each home game. The School District shall also provide their own ticket sellers and ticket takers for each scheduled hockey game and shall be responsible for any sales tax due for each scheduled game. Each party agrees to carry liability insurance as deemed appropriate on behalf of their agency. Rescheduling of games or practices is at the discretion of the City. This agreement shall be in effect October 25, 2007 through March 6, 2008.
