PRESENTATION Consider Approval of 2008 Annual Financial Report and Management Letter. Finance Director Erickson introduced Steve McDonald of Abdo, Eick and Meyers. McDonald ex- plained what an audit achieves and that the City has earned an unqualified opinion. Commented on inter- nal controls noting that having a limited number of staff limits the opportunity for segregation of duties and that checks and balances have been put in place to counteract that. Stated that an actuarial was per- formed on post-employment benefits. Compared the general fund balance to budget, showed general fund revenues and expenditures and explained enterprise funds. Commented that the City has positive cash and assets in each fund. Stated there are no accounting standards changes coming up that will impact the City for 2009. Complimented staff on a great job done preparing for the audit. Comments: W. Erickson: Asked about the City's status of post-employment benefits and pensions. McDonald: Replied that the City's only obligation is the implicit benefit of health insurance that retirees, by law, are allowed to have. LeMair: Thanked staff for a job well done and complimented them on the seamless transition to a new director. Hedberg: Commented on the unfunded liability for post employment benefits. Asked if there are guide- lines or instructions to start providing funding for that. McDonald: Replied that the implicit rate is built into current premium costs and the City's current expendi- ture is the extent of the obligation. Commented that GASB 45 obligations will be implemented over the next 20 years and no large cash outlay for the future is anticipated. Hedberg: Asked if the City can expect health care costs to increase due to upcoming retirees. McDonald: Replied that would depend on how many would buy into the health care upon retirement. Be- lieves the City does not have to anticipate an unknown large cost for it. 2 City Council Meeting Minutes May 18, 2009 DRAFT Hedberg: Commented that the enterprise funds have cash balances that are above annual operating ex- penses and asked if they are overfunded. McDonald: Replied that a better perspective can be gained when considering a 3-5 year period and that water/sewer rate studies give a good perspective of what a good cash balance would be. Commented that the cash flow statement in the financial report reflects the cash from operating activities which is funding bond payments and ongoing capital needs. Hedberg: Commented that the City will need to pay attention to enterprise funds to assure whether the balances are needed over time. Millar: Thanked staff for a good job. Commented that it will be a challenge to balance the budget for the next few years. Haugen: Thanked staff and McDonald for the audit. MOTION BY ERICKSON, SECONDED BY MILLAR TO ACCEPT THE 2008 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT AND MANAGEMENT LETTER AS SUBMITTED. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. Proclamation of National Public Works Week for the Week of May 17-23, 2009. Streets and Utilities Supervisor Eldred informed the Council that the third week in May has been Na- tional Public Works Week since 1960. This year's theme is to revitalize, reinvest, and renew. Invited all to see the display in the lobby of City Hall that depicts some of the accomplishments of the Public Works De- partment. Spoke of achievements over the past year that revitalized, reinvested and renewed City re- sources. Spoke of innovation and partnerships that allow the City to achieve more. Asked the Mayor to proclaim this week as National Public Works Week in Prior Lake. Mayor Haugen read the proclamation. Comments: Hedberg: Complimented Eldred on the presentation. Commented that most decisions the Council faces have long-term impacts and the Public Works Department works with infrastructure that lasts from 30-50 years or longer. LeMair: Thanked the staff for their work. Stated he is proud to be associated with this group from the per- spective of what they do for roadway work, plowing, etc., and that he hears rave reviews about the work done in the parks. Erickson: Commented on other work besides roadways and parks - recycling, composting, rolling stock maintenance, etc. Stated he has much respect for their work. Millar: Stated that during his tenure on the Council he has learned of the quality work the Public Works Department does for the community. Haugen: Commented that the entire community should be aware that this is National Public Works Week. Prior Lake Community Garden. Community Development/Natural Resources Director Parr reported on work done on the previous Kop farmstead location to prepare for the community garden. Noted that registrations for garden plots are being handled by the Parks and Recreation Department. Spoke of the process and cost to register. Fifty plots are prepared and a meeting will be held on May 20 to talk about rules and the long-term viability of the pro- gram. Listed the sponsors who covered the initial costs of establishing the garden and stated that signage will be permanently posted acknowledging those contributions and placed at the garden site. Thanked resident Jane Keogh for her efforts in establishing the garden program. 3 City Council Meeting Minutes May 18, 2009 DRAFT Comments: LeMair: Commented that this is a great addition to the community and there are many passionate commu- nity members who wanted this. Asked if interest has been expressed from the township or other communi- ties. Parr: Replied she has received calls from township residents. Erickson: Clarified that people who are not residents can contact the Park and Recreation office beginning May 19. Offered to distribute flyers expressing the belief that many gardeners would be interested in hav- ing a plot. Millar: Thanked co-sponsors and citizens who helped to make this happen. Asked if there is an area to walk through and see the gardens. Parr: Replied that the plots are part of the park system and people may go through the area. A kiosk will be located there with information about the garden. There will be a number of initiatives to educate people about the garden. The ScotUCarver County master gardener program has offered educational opportuni- ties. Hedberg: Commented that the garden location is a beautiful spot and has been an unused part of the City's park system for a number of years. Believes this will be a great way to use the location and that it will become an integral, active part of the park system. Haugen: Expressed appreciation for being able to prepare for this project in a short time frame. Thanked the organizations who contributed noting the Council was unwilling to spend the monies on this when budget cuts are being made. PUBLIC HEARING No public hearing was scheduled. OLD BUSINESS Consider Approval of Reports from the Scott County Assessor's Office Regarding Appeals to the Board of Appeals and Equalization. City Manager Boyles stated that 14 commercial and industrial properties and 38 residential properties were brought before the Board of Appeals and Equalization on May 4, 2009. Explained that the Scott County assessors have provided the City Council with a report on their findings of those appeals. Noted that there is no opportunity for appellants to speak at this meeting. The Council is asked to consider the assessor's consent agenda and approval of the assessor's valuation recommendations either as recom- mended or as the council may determine. Scott County Assessors Thompson, Chacka and Johnson were present. Thompson reported that four appraisers have been working on appeals for the past two weeks doing assessments and finding comparisons for those properties. Stated they have contacted those who requested a contact and that most of the homeowners have been advised of the assessor's findings. MOTION BY HEDBERG, SECONDED BY MILLAR TO ADOPT THE SCOTT COUNTY ASSESSOR'S CONSENT AGENDA FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES AGREED UPON PRIOR TO MAY 4. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. Haugen: Asked whether any of the 32 residential properties that appealed the valuation of their property should be removed from the Scott County Assessor's Consent Agenda. Erickson: Requested that PID 25-026-0090 at 15311 Breezy Point Road NE be removed for discussion. 4 City Council Meeting Minutes May 18, 2009 DRAFT MOTION BY ERICKSON, SECONDED BY LEMAIR TO ADOPT THE SCOTT COUNTY ASSESSOR'S VALUES AS RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES APPEALED ON MAY 4,2009, EXCEPT FOR PID 25-026-0090 AT 15311 BREEZY POINT ROAD NE. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. Erickson: Stated he did not understand the paragraph regarding mold and curing of it. Asked if the prop- erty owner should have submitted some particular item to qualify for the reduction in valuation. Thompson: Replied that the condition has to have been cured. Until then, a property owner cannot apply for the value reduction for that year's assessment and the following year's taxes. Erickson: Clarified that as long as the problem exists, a property owner cannot get credit for it. Thompson: Correct. Explained that Statute was enacted about three years ago to provide consistency in appraisals since different counties were adjusting this condition differently. There were cases where the home was livable, an adjustment was made by a county and the homeowner continued to receive a prop- erty valuation reduction year after year without curing the problem. Erickson: Asked if this landowner understands what must be done. Thompson: Replied that he spoke with the person representing the appellant and explained the process of applying for the reduction. LeMair: Asked how a property would be handled if the cure for mold or water damage is to knock down the home and rebuild. Thompson: Replied that he has not come across that situation. Noted that valuation is made as of Janu- ary 2 of a given year and a valuation would be made on the condition of the home at that time. The esti- mate for the cost to cure must be only due to the mold damage and if the home needed to be torn down due to that damage, there may be an exception for that. MOTION BY HEDBERG, SECONDED BY MILLAR TO APPROVE THE VALUATION OF PID 25-026-0090 AT 15311 BREEZY POINT ROAD NE. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. Mayor Haugen asked if any properties should be removed from the Scott County Assessor's report for commercial and industrial properties. Millar: Requested that PID 25-443-001-0 at 17178 Adelmann Street SE, be removed from the report. MOTION BY LEMAIR, SECONDED BY ERICKSON TO ADOPT THE SCOTT COUNTY ASSESSOR'S CONSENT AGENDA FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY VALUES EXCEPT PID # 25- 443-001-0 AT 17178 ADELMANN STREET SE. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. Millar: Asked how valuation is compared for businesses that are in high visibility areas vs. those that are set back. Chacka: Replied that it would depend on whether the business is retail, industrial or office. Retail busi- ness would go to what the property can rent for. Traffic count is recognized if someone buys a site for new construction. Millar: Noted that many of the businesses setting in the Deerfield industrial area are set back from CR 21. Erickson: Asked about proximity to transit services and whether businesses were compared to others in Prior Lake or to those in Shakopee, etc. Chacka: Replied that Scott County information was used as much as possible, but there have been a lim- ited number of transactions. 5 City Council Meeting Minutes May 18, 2009 DRAFT Erickson: Expressed concerns about valuations on commercial properties believing they are too high if valued as those that are on Hwy 169. Believes taxes and valuations for commercial properties are out of line. Chacka: Replied that properties appealed in the Deerfield Business Park were reduced and the five busi- nesses that did not appeal will also be abated for equalization purposes. The industrial condos values are reflecting what they initially paid for the properties. There was one sale and it provided evidence to in- crease the value; but due to lack of activity in the Deerfield area, that was not done with the 2009 assess- ments. MOTION BY HEDBERG, SECONDED BY ERICKSON TO ADOPT THE SCOTT COUNTY ASSESSOR'S VALUATION FOR PID # 25-443-001-0 AT 17178 ADELMANN STREET SE. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. Consider Approval of an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Map and Sections 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104, 1105, 1106, 1107, 1108, 1109, 1110, 1111, 1112 and 1113 of the Zoning Ordinance. Community Development/Natural Resources Director Parr explained why the zoning code was brought forward for revision and the process of public hearings to gain input from citizens and local businesses. Also sought input from American Planning Association publications and other communities. Planner Matzke highlighted the zoning map changes and the changes to the zoning ordinance intended to achieve consistency with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Described the proposed zoning districts and displayed a map showing where the districts would be. Parr added that future zoning ordinance amendments would include ordinance regarding renewable energy sources, conservation/green development, water quality protection, tree protection and interim uses. Proposed that the effective date of this proposed zoning ordi- nance be June 1, 2009. Comments: LeMair: Commented that trying to get the zoning ordinance to be effective is difficult and a good job has been done. Added that the Planning Commission looks at the zoning ordinance several times a year to maintain it. Hedberg: Thanked the two years of effort by the Planning Commission and staff to achieve this zoning ordinance update. Commented that zoning ordinance is always subject to review and update and the new topics of conservation and renewable energy sources will be ongoing work. Stated this ordinance is great progress and staff worked hard on it. Millar: Will support. Asked if anything significant is anticipated for amending any other ordinances. Parr: Replied that three amendments will be brought forward at the next Council meeting regarding appeal language, interim usage and the threshold of square footage of shopping centers. Public hearings for these topics will be held by Planning Commission. Millar: Commented that the term transition is used specifically for the transitional town center, but that it is clear that some areas of the City will be moving from residential to commercial. Asked if an amendment regarding the use of the term transitional in some of those areas will be brought forward. Parr: Replied that at this time there is no plan to make any other modifications regarding transitional des- ignation. Pace: Stated she has looked at the issue of transitional zoning as it came up in connection with the Com- prehensive Plan for neighborhoods that were close to commercial areas. Stated there is no such thing as transitional zoning and a district has to be zoned one way or another. The town center is a use district unto itself because of its own rules. Believes the Council wants something that signals where a district is head- 6 City Council Meeting Minutes May 18, 2009 DRAFT ing, but research around the country as well as with land use litigators reveals no existence of transitional zoning. Erickson: Thanked the Planning Commission and staff who spent many hours in workshops to come up with these revisions. Will support. Haugen: Agreed this zoning ordinance is a great step forward as well as being a living document. Sug- gested that the sign ordinance be visited at an upcoming work session. MOTION BY HEDBERG, SECONDED BY ERICKSON TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 109-05 AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP AND SECTIONS 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104, 1105, 1106, 1107, 1108, 1109, 1110, 1111, 1112, AND 1113 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. MOTION BY LEMAIR, SECONDED BY MILLAR TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 09-082 ADOPTING A SUMMARY OF THE NEW ZONING ORDINANCE FOR PUBLICATION PURPOSES. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. NEW BUSINESS Consider Approval of the 2008-2009 Snowmobile Taskforce Report. Public Works Director Albrecht reported that only two complaints were received during the past snow- mobiling season and seven citations were issued. Commented that the partnership with the snowmobile club has been good and the club has done a good job of enforcing rules, working on signage and providing public information. Stated that the Taskforce wants to look at Sand Point Park access for snowmobiles at the next meeting. Comments: Erickson: Commented that the general opinion at the end-of-season meeting with snowmobilers was that it worked well to have the City and snowmobile clubs working together. Thanked the clubs for their sup- port. LeMair: Noted that the clubs worked hard to govern their group well and to keep intact the access to trails to get in and out of the community. Hedberg: Commented that this is another great example of partnering. Noted that the City became aware of the County's plan to stop snowmobile access to Prior Lake and took the stance that recreational access should be retained which aligned us with the snowmobilers needs. Looks forward to continued annual re- ports. Millar: Agreed the partnership has been a great success. Haugen: Thanked LeMair for coming up with a recommended route for snowmobilers to have continued access to the area. MOTION BY HEDBERG, SECONDED BY MILLAR TO ACCEPT THE 2008-2009 SNOWMOBILE TASKFORCE REPORT. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. Consider Approval of a Resolution Accepting Quotes and Awarding the Contract for the Replace- ment of Refrigeration Piping Located at the Prior Lake Library Building. Building Official Hutchins described the breakage of piping in the library building and outlined the rec- ommended replacement of piping as well as a possible alternative for repairing just the leaking pipes. 7 City Council Meeting Minutes May 18, 2009 DRAFT Comments: Millar: Clarified that the building is only ten years old and commented that the pipes should have lasted longer. Hutchins: Agreed and stated that past breaks were analyzed to be due to poor soldering of the pipes. Believes the vibrations of the building caused them to leak. Millar: Questioned whether just the leaking pipes should be fixed or all of the pipes should be replaced. Hutchins: Replied there have already been three leaks on three different pipes and believes they could all leak at some time. Proposed that it is better economy in the long term to replace all pipes now. Hedberg: Agreed it is frustrating that a ten-year old building would have leaks and that the building design has the pipes below concrete so they cannot be accessed. Asked if there are any operational implications to the alternate of just fixing the two that are leaking. Hutchins. Replied there is not and described the process that would be used for repair. Hedberg: Noted it would have to be fixed quickly or the building would not be usable due to high tempera- tures. Stated that since it would not affect operations, just the broken ones should be repaired at this time. LeMair: Clarified that the process would be to relocate the pipes through the attic and asked how many pipes there are. Hutchins: Replied there are eight pipes, which is proposed to be changed to nine pipes to add a bypass pipe. LeMair: Clarified that the alternate option is to replace two pipes. Seems as though the bid is not propor- tionate to replace two pipes rather than all of them. Hutchins: Responded with the process that requires removal of all Freon from the entire system and then reload and retest all of the pipes. LeMair: Seems the materials would be the most expensive part. Believes just the two leaking pipes should be replaced at this time due to fiscal circumstances and others can be repaired as needed. Erickson: Commented that the cause seems to be bad soldering. The pipes were all done at the same time, so believes there is no question of whether the others will break, but rather when it will happen. Be- lieves it will be less expensive to do it all at once. Haugen: Asked Hutchins if any of Erickson's comments were inaccurate. Hutchins: Concurred with Erickson comments. Stated that a pipe was fixed in 2003 for $4500 and an- other in 2007 which was outside and not as costly to repair. Anticipates that all underground pipes will fail at some time. Haugen: Supports doing the whole job using contingency funds. Believes the cost of not replacing all of the pipes at this time could be more significant. Millar: Noted that two people handled the soldering and there may not be as many problems as if the same person had done all of them. Hutchins: Agreed that the service provider indicated that two people were on the job doing the soldering. Millar: Stated that some of those solders would not fail and he still favors alternate #1. Erickson: Commented that each pipe has multiple solders that might fail and believes all the piping should be replaced. Hedberg: Stated that the City is in uncharted waters with expenditures and he wants to use the contin- gency fund as little as possible to preserve that fund. Stated he would rather take a risk that the pipes will last a few more years to avoid spending monies from the contingency fund now. Haugen: Stated that after deliberation he supports the preservation of the contingency fund. MOTION BY HEDBERG, SECONDED BY LEMAIR TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 09-083 ACCEPTING QUOTES AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF LEAKING REFRIGERATION 8 City Council Meeting Minutes May 18, 2009 DRAFT PIPING LOCATED AT THE PRIOR LAKE LIBRARY BUILDING FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $10,500. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. Erickson opposed. The motion carried. OTHER Haugen: Recalled that several years ago, the Parks, Athletics and Recreation (PAR) Task Force made a statement about the stacking of games and double-headers played at Ryan Park which lead to Prior Lake Athletics for Youth (P.L.A.Y.) and Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) donations for field work and lights. P.L.AY leadership indicated there are problems with the ordinance mandating that lights be turned off at the Ryan fields at 10 p.m., and that other parks have ordinance allowing the lights to be on until 11 p.m. MOTION BY HAUGEN, SECONDED BY MILLAR TO DIRECT STAFF TO TAKE THE LIGHTS-OFF TIME CONCERN TO THE PARKS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO LEARN THE IMPACT OF CHANGING THE LIGHTS-OFF TIME FOR RYAN FIELDS TO A LATER TIME. LeMair: Believes the public hearing will be critical. Noted that earlier public hearings established the lights-off time. Perhaps the lighting issue has evolved to not be a hindrance to the neighborhood. Erickson: Stated that initially the 10 p.m. lights-out time was a stipulation that the neighborhood insisted upon. Now that lights are installed, the neighborhood has a better idea of the infusion of light onto the play- ing field and whether it is diffused elsewhere. Haugen: Added that the ball fields with lights have games that play later in the evening and it will be good to hear if there are any adverse impacts of that. Boyles: Clarified that the Parks Advisory Committee has the liberty to research the flexibility of lights out rather than just an 11 p.m. time. Haugen: Affirmed. VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Erickson, Hedberg, LeMair and Millar. The motion carried. Community Events Millar: A parade and ceremony at Memorial Park will be conducted on Memorial Day. A "battle of the bands" will be held by PLHS students at Twin Oaks on May 20 from 7 - 10 p.m. Hedberg: The Prior Lake Optimist's fundraising golf tournament will be May 19. Commented on civic or- ganization donations to many events and causes around the community. LeMair: Premiere Dance Academy will hold its annual recital on the weekend of May 30. Two Prior Lake wrestlers participated in the Minnesota Goodwill Duals the past weekend. Erickson: May 23 is the season's first open date of the compost site. Parr: Added that the compost site will be open on the second and fourth Saturdays through October from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Staff will be on site to assist. Hope to have compost to take to community garden this year. Haugen: The Memorial Day parade will be at 9 am. beginning at the VFW and going to Memorial Park. The Scott County Board of Commissioners will consider the social host ordinance on June 2. Asked for report on the Emerald Ash Borer at a June meeting. Millar: Commented that Minnetonka passed a social host ordinance and that the Star Tribune made an endorsement for such ordinances. Haugen: Stated that the endorsement was for a social host ordinance such as Prior Lake's and that Min- netonka's ordinance is more rigid allowing for prosecution even when a parent is away from home. 9 City Council Meeting Minutes May 18, 2009 DRAFT Pace: Added that more communities are adopting social host ordinances and it will be learned which pro- visions of the ordinance will hold up when they are challenged. ADJOURNMENT With no further comments from Council members, a motion to adjourn was made by Millar and seconded by LeMair. With all in favor, the meeting adjourned at 8:16 p.m. Frank Boyles, City Manager Charlotte Green, Administrative Asst. 10
