JUNE 17, 2002 REGULAR MEETING MINUTES
Bovles: Page 4 - Asked that the last paragraph where Ms. Pace speaks be clarified to read · Advised that the City Code

enforce compliance. Therefore, the appropriate action at this time would be to commence a civil action if the Council
chooses to do so..

approval would be given by the staff or by the Council.

PRESENTATIONS:
Scott County Update (Dave Unmacht & Barb Marscha/~
Barb Marschall (Scott County Commissione": Discussed the County's role in connection with the City, as well as the
County's desire to partner in as many ways as possible. Introduced County Administrator Dave Unmacht.
Hau!:len: Thanked Commissioner Marschall for the role she plays in representing the people of Prior Lake at the County
level.
Dave Unmacht (Scott County Administrato": Discussed the major County Board Goals for 2002 including construction of a
jail and law enforcement center, land trust issues, web site enhancements, transit planning, 5-year parks and open space
plan, precinct boundaries and redistricting, water planning study, future leaders event, aging planning study, fiber optic
network and construction of a new library in Shakopee. Further discussed the major challenges facing the County including
growth, economic variables, state budget shortfall, capital and infrastructure demands, becoming a regional employer, and
financing local government. ..
Gundlach: Complimented the County on the aggressiveness of their Capital Improvement Program. Asked about the
changes in the County Comprehensive Plan, its focuses, and the steps that have been taken with respect to growth
strategies. Specifically mentioned concerns for both County Road 21 and eventually County Road 68.
Unmacht: Explained that the new Comprehensive Plan is now being implemented, even though its impacts may not be
known for several years. The Plan implements phased growth. Discussed the focus areas being cities, where the service of
infrastructure is in place, and also into staged areas of Credit River Township, New Market and Spring Lake Township.
Further discussed the role of the County in annexation, which has typically been as intermediary.
Hau!:len: Noted that he and Councilmember Petersen had met with the Spring Lake Township Board and believed that the
residents and supervisors were willing to cooperate in order to come to an acceptable annexation plan.
LeMair: Asked about the County's role with the Hennepin County Parks district both past and present.

July 15, 2002
Unmacht: Advised that in the past, the County took on a very passive role. Currently, the County has taken a more active
role, including setting priorities, establishing budgets and directing where resources should go.
LeMair: Asked about the room for compromise with respect to the land trust issues.
Unmacht: The County believes that there is room for compromise and are willing to think creatively to resolve' issues. The
differences between the City and County and SMSC are philosophical and surround the issue of putting additional land into
trust status. Hopeful that a long-term compromise is in the future.
Hauaen: Asked about cultural issues that the County and City may need to address.
Unmacht: Discussed the additional diversity in the community as it grows and the need to provide additional human
services to those communities. Also advised that the County also needs to serve its weakest link, including educating cities
on the impact of growth on human services. Further discussed the justice system and the expenses related to law
enforcement, and to change how the County does business and provides services.
2002 Lakefront Days (Chamber of Commerce)
Darcy Rose (Chamber Presiden~ and Sandi Fleck (Chamber Executive Director): Reviewed each of the events planned
for Lakefront Days, both new and old.
Meyer: Advised of the events planned for the Ice Cream Social.
Walsh: Discussed the Lakefront Days shuttle routes and pick-up locations.
PUBLIC HEARINGS: NONE.
OLD BUSINESS:
Consider Approval of a Resolution Awarding Bids and Authorizing Execution of Standard Contract for 2002
Improvement Project
Osmundson: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report, noting the process to date, the improvements
proposed, and the bids received.
Petersen: Asked about the difference in the hours for construction observation.
Osmundson: Believed the calculations are at the discretion of the bidders. In last year's project, the hours noted were right
on budget.
Zieska: Asked why the engineer's bid was under.
Osmundson: Noted that while there was not one single item, it appeared that the costs for bituminous at next year's prices
would be a little higher than anticipated, and the project is tight and there is probably some increased cost for the sewer
replacement portion.

July 15, 2002
Bovles: Clarified that both resolutions should refer to the City's standard contract.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY GUNDLACH TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02.113 AWARDING BID FOR 2002
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TO BARBAROSSA & SONS, INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,547,014.70.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY GUNDLACH TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02.112 AUTHORIZING MFRA, INC.
TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION STAKING SERVICES FOR 2002 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska, and LeMair, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Awarding Bid and Authorizing Execution of Standard Contract for the
Construction of Trails, a Basketball Court, and a Parking Lot as Identified in the 2002 Capital Improvement
Program.
Osmundson: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY LEMAIR, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02.114 AWARDING BID FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF TRAILS, A BASKETBALL COURT AND A PARKING LOT AS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2002 PARKS
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TO VALLEY PAVING, INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $67,000.
Hauaen: Noted the project came in approximately 20% under budget.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen,Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Authorizing General Fund Transfers to the Revolving Equipment Fund,
Severance Compensation Fund and Building Fund.
Teschner: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
Gundlach: Asked if there is a problem with leaving the funds undesignated in the General Fund. Also asked how funds can
be undesignated.
Teschner: Explained that by leaving the funds undesignated, there is risk that the state will perceive that the City has an
abundant General Fund reserve. With the fiscal situation at the state level, it is possible that such a perception may indicate
to the state that the City does not need state aids. Further explained dedicated funds versus discretionary funds, and the
limitations in transferring money from specific funds.
Gundlach: Asked how the severance compensation fund is normally funded without a surplus.
Teschner: Advised that there are several ways to provide funding. In Prior Lake's case the funds are not accumulated on a
per pay period basis, but rather incrementally by investment income and spot allocations as needed. The auditors
recommend that the City maintain money to fund unanticipated leaves of employment, thus drawing money from
accumulated sick or vacation leave. If the fund was not available, the money would come from the department operating
budget.
Zieska: Asked if the fund was created on the recommendation of the auditors.

City Council Meeting Minutes
DRAFT
July 15, 2002
Teschner: Explained that the GASBY rule is that funding be set aside to approximate 50% of the overall severance on the
. books. To budget for 100% would be unreasonable.
Gundlach: Suggested that the item be included in the department annual budget, rather than having a creative accounting
mechanism.
Teschner: Advised that what the City has tried to do is fund the account from investment income and periodic allocations
from the General Fund, rather than from the tax levy. Theoretically, if there is only average turnover from a personnel
standpoint, you may go for 20 years without funding the account on an annual basis. By funding on an annual basis, a
surplus reserve position in the compensated absence balance could be created that would have to be moved. There are a
number of ways to fund it, but there would be an added cost to the operating budget.
Gundlach: Believed we absorbed the cost either way. Concerned that this is an operating expense that should be budgeted
for annually rather than masking the cost by funding it from the surplus.
Bovles: Noted that the Council has never established a policy that this is intended to be a 100% representative fund. If that
is the Council's direction, it can be done. Staff believes this is the most efficient allocation of funds with respect to impact on
the taxpayer.
Hauaen: Believed the current process for funding the account is simple and has the minimum impact on the taxpayer. If the
account can be funded without impacting the annual budget, it seems that is the most prudent course in this instance.
Clarified that with respect to the $750,000 proposed transfer to the Building Fund, no decisions have yet been made
regarding the new City Hall/Police/Satellite Fire facilities. Asked if it is likely that the City will experience a surplus this year,
and if additional monies should be transferred at this time.
Teschner: Noted that staff was comfortable with a $750,000 transfer and then wait to see what the year-end brings as far
as the state or our surplus. The State will look at the City's 2001 audit report. For the 2002 audit report, as long as we make
an adjustment prior to year-end, it will not be reflected incrementally in the audit report.
MOTION BY LEMAIR, SECOND BY PETERSEN, TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 02.115 AUTHORIZING GENERAL FUND
TRANSFERS TO THE SEVERANCE COMPENSATION FUND, BUILDING FUND AND THE REVOLVING EQUIPMENT
FUN~ .
Gundlach: Concerned that more of the General Fund balance would be dedicated to the Building Fund, and not necessarily
to the Severance Compensation Fund.
Petersen: Asked if the Council can reallocate the money at a later date.
Teschner: Advised that the Council has full authority to redirect the funds at such time we have a clear picture as to the
impacts of the State budget deficit. Noted that in his opinion, the Severance Compensation Fund is the most important
allocation given the balance that the fund has reached.
Zieska: Understood Councilmember Gundlach's desire to put more funds toward the Building Fund, but believed that item
could be addressed at a later date.
LeMair: Agreed with the staff recommendation.

July 15, 2002
Hauaen: Supported the motion and asked that staff bring this item back to the Council to address any additional surplus
prior to year end.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, Nay by Gundlach, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of Resolutions (1) Amending the Budgets for TIF Districts 1-1 and 1-2 and (2) De-Certifying TIF
District 2-4.
Rye: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
Zieska: Asked if the $45,000 received for de-certifying district 2-4 would go into the General Fund.
Teschner: Advised that Scott County has advised that our portion will be representative on the 2nd half tax settlement as
excess TIF and will go into the General Fund. Due to the de-certification and because the 2nd half tax payment for the
properties in the area do not change, our tax collection with show in excess of 100% budgeted amount.
Zieska: Asked if the funds resulting from amending the budgets for district 1-1 and 1-2 will also be designated.
Rye: Advised that the funds must be used TIF eligible purposes in Downtown district.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY ZIESKA APPROVING RESOLUTION 02.116 MODIFYING TAX INCREMENT
FINANCING PLANS FOR TAX INCREMENT DISTRICTS 1-1 AND 1-2.
Gundlach: Asked for clarification as to why the money was collected improperly.
Rye: Explained that the funds were not collected improperly, but that during the life of a TIF district, certain criteria have to
be met. When those criteria, over the life of a TIF district, are not met or no activity takes place, the TIF district is rendered
ineligible.
Bovles: Further noted that using the funds puts the City at risk to lose the ability to provide tax increment financing, which is
one of the only economic development tools the City has. The most financially prudent thing to do was to disband the
district.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY GUNDLACH APPROVING RESOLUTION 02.117 DE-CERTIFYING TIF DISTRICT
2-4.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS

July 15, 2002
Charlie Anderson: Advised that he is aware of the impacts and that the gymnasium school portion of the facility falls within
the 15% allowable under the TI F district.
Bovles: Explained the process, first with the ordinance amendment, then to be followed by an application for conditional
use permit.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY GUNDLACH TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 02.11 AMENDING SECTION 1102.1403(6}
OF THE PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE.
Hauaen: Discussed the restrictions for parking and the designated drop-off area. Believed there was no need for the
restrictions at this time and that the items may be unnecessarily restrictive for this site.
Pace: Advised that the ordinance applies broadly, and that the Council may want to consider the overall impacts to the
area.
Zieska: Agreed that the restrictions are necessary for the overall area from a safety perspective given the other uses in the
area.
Hauaen: Advised that his concerns were for the specific building and given that the ordinance applies more broadly, felt the
restriction were appropriate.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving the Conditional Use Permit for a 49-Unit Multi-Family Dwelling,
Known as Bluff Heights Apartments in the R-4 Zoning District (Case File #02~026)
Kansier: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
LeMair: Asked where the nearest park is to the property.
Kansier: The nearest park is probably Lakefront Park, but that since the project is not platted, the City cannot require park
development. A neighboring property, however, will be platted, and discussions have already begun with the Timbercrest
development for an adequate park in the area.
Zieska: Advised that with a trail system, the complex will also be linked to The Ponds Park.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY PETERSEN, APPROVING RESOLUTION 02.118 APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT FOR A 49-UNIT MULTI-FAMILY DWELLING KNOWN AS BLUFF HEIGHTS APARTMENTS.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.

Firearms.
Bovles: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.

July 15, 2002
Pace: Added that the initial draft of the ordinance did include for informational purposes several clauses intended for the
Council to consider the increasingly urban use of property within the City, and the impacts on the health, safety and welfare
of its citizens.
LeMair: Commented that Howard Lake seems to be hunted fairly heavily.
Bovles: Explained that Arctic Lake is hunted, but is a developing residential area. Hunting had previously been prohibited
on Pike Lake and Prior Lake. More and more often concems are raised by residents where hunting is allowed where they
live.
O'Rourke: Added that in the vicinity of Northwood Road specifically, there are more and more complaint calls regarding the
use of firearms. Even until last fall, hunting was allowed in the Jeffers Pond area, and shots could be heard in the
neighborhood of The Wilds.
Hauaen: Noted that it seems that the growth, density and continued urbanization of the area brings the issue of safety of
our citizens to the forefront.
Zieska: Believed that banning hunting within the City is a natural evolution as Prior Lake moves from rural to an urban
community, fortunately or unfortunately.
Gundlach: Agreed with Councilmember Zieska. Asked if the proposed ordinance is practically enforceable, and if the
SMSC had been consulted.
O'Rourke: Explained that the ordinance as proposed is certainly more enforceable.
Bovles: Advised that the SMSC had not been consulted at this point.
Gundlach: Asked that if the ordinance was adopted, that the staff attempt to effectively communicate the regulations to the
Mdewakanton and solicit their participation in compliance.
MOTION BY GUNDLACH, SECOND BY PETERSEN, APPROVING ORDINANCE 02.12 AMENDING SECTION 804 OF
THE CITY CODE REGULATING THE DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of Amendments to the City Personnel Policy Relating to Use of City Automobiles and
Reimburseable Expenses.
Walsh: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY LEMAIR, TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE PERSONNEL POLICY.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of an Ordinance Amendment Relating to Outdoor Events.
Bovles: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.

DRAFT
July 15, 2002
Pace: Suggested a change under 307.600, to read that decibel levels be determined 100 feet from the source of the
amplification rather than 100 feet from the event site.
O'Rourke: Advised that the ordinance gives the property owner the benefit of the doubt. By measuring from the property
line, we are using the same standard in both the measurement of the decibel level (100 feet from the property line) and the
notification to property owners (500 feet from the property line). It seems to be a reasonable compromise.
Zieska: Agreed, because 500 feet from the source of amplification in Lakefront Park might mean no neighbors need be
notified. Asked what 65 decibels is comparable to.
O'Rourke: Advised that the current conversation may be exceeding 65 decibels depending on the extenuating factors such
as wind and elevation.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY LEMAIR TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 02.13 AMENDING SECTION 307 OF THE
PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE RELATING TO OUTDOOR EVENTS.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Gundlach, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, the motion carried.
Consider Setting a Date for 6-Month Evaluation of City Manager Performance.
Bovles: Reviewed the item in connection with the staff report.
Hauaen: Believed that there are two pieces to the evaluation - identifying shortcomings as well as progress. Suggested an
evaluation take place within the next 30 days in Executive Session.
[ADDED]
Discussion Regarding the Building Permit Process
Zieska: Discussed the current process for building permits, and the past difficulty in enforcement, specifically that often
there is no penalty to deter people from violating the ordinance. Raised the issue of imposing a penalty for those who have
to get building permits after-the-fact.
Rve: Advised that a double fee is imposed for the after-the-fact permit by the Uniform Building Code, and that the structure
must also comply with the Uniform Building Code.
Bovles: Clarified that the City staff, together with the City Attorney, have been working on a process of civil enforcement for
matters such as these. It is by far more productive for the City to pursue civil enforcement, rather than criminal enforcement.
The cost for legal services is the most significant impact of such enforcement. Suesan is working on putting together a
standardized process.
Pace: Added that no one can guaranty what a court in Scott County will do, but there is case law and precedence that
indicate the City should be able to get injunction for the removal of structures that were built illegally. Also when people
come in for after-the-fact permits, an additional penalty could be imposed.
Zieska: Believed pursuing the issue of enforcement is necessary, and that staff should proceed in that regard.

OTHER BUSINESS I COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS
Gundlach: Reviewed the sign ordinance regulations and the great job at past enforcement. Noticed that several signs have
begun to appear again in the right-ot-way. Asked staff to continue to actively entorce the removal ot such signs, and
notification to the owners.
Pace: Clarified that since an ordinance is in place, it is appropriate that every effort is made to enforce the ordinance.
However, it would be inappropriate tor Councilmembers to remove signs, due to liability issues.
Gundlach: Further asked tor a status on making the Comprehensive Plan consistent with the Zoning Ordinance.
Bovles: Advised that the project was set aside until such time as a new Strategic Plan was adopted. Consideration of the
strategic plan is set for the next regular meeting. Staff then tully intends to pick up the project.
Hauaen: Offered best wishes and prayers to City Engineer Susan McDermott as she faces some health issues and will be

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
July 29. 2002
CALL TO ORDER AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Present were Mayor Haugen, Councilmembers Gundlach, Petersen,
Zieska and LeMair, City Manager Boyles, City Attomey Pace and Recording Secretary Meyer.
OLD BUSINESS:
Consider Approval of Motion Authorizing Preparation and Signature of a Letter of Support for a Housing
Development to be Known as Jeffers Pond Family Townhomes.
Bovles: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report, noting the proposed projects in the Jeffers Pond
development. Further advised that the only item before the Council at this point in the project was considering what level of
support, if any, the City would provide for a specific affordable housing project. Noted that the need to consider the item at
this time was because the applicant's request to Minnesota Housing Finance Agency for funding was due by August 1st.
The applicant is requesting support in the amount of $250,000.
Jim Deanovic (Develope,,: Explained that the MHFA like to see the cities provide the maximum funds available to them,
and then the MHFA tries to fill the gap, in this case $947,000. When a city gets a project approved, it is typically because
they have tried very hard to make the project financially viable. The more a City gives, in the form of land, fee assistance,
cash, TIF, etc., the greater the point value the project receives and the higher likelihood of assistance. Discussed his
participation in the 2020 Vision and Strategic Plan process, and the information he garnered from that process. Now the
developers want to become part of the solution. Discussed the 40-unit project, and that only 7 units would be market rate.
Further noted that the rents are 50% of the median income in Scott County - $900 for a 2-bedroom unit, and $1000 for a 3-
bedroom. However, to qualify, applicants cannot make over 60% of the median income in Scott County.
LeMair: Asked if the housing will be for Prior Lake residents and what the application process is.
Deanovic: Noted that five units are proposed for specifically current Prior Lake residents. Otherwise, the availability would
be open. Typically, the units will go to those persons working in the Prior Lake area. Also noted that Scott County has also
advised that there are T21 funds available but that have to be tied to an affordable housing project. So, there is an
investment, but you do often get something back. .
LeMair: Asked how the applications and the facility is managed.
Deanovic: Advised that the management is done by the management division of his development company. There is an
extensive criminal background check of applicants, as well as reviews of job status and any tenant problems in previous
locations.
Hauaen: Asked about Mr. Deanovic's experience with other affordable housing developments.
Deanovic: Discussed similar projects in Eden Prairie, Farmington and Plymouth. indicating that typically 65% of the people
using the units are wage-earners, 20% are on a pension or social security, and just 15% are on public aid. Often times
there are a lot of female head-of-household.
LeMair: Asked how the developer arrived at the needed assistance of $947,000.

Deanovic: Explained that the limited revenue the project generates, in this case, rent, versus the expenses to build the
project, leaves you with the amount of money for a mortgage. In a tax credit project, the mortgage does not pay for the total
development costs. That is where you get the $947,000 gap. The object then is to fill the gap with city, MHFA and other
funds dedicated to affordable housing.
LeMair: Asked if the gap in this case deals just with the development of the affordable housing project and its land.
Deanovic: Confirmed.
LeMair: Asked how the Council can be sure that the gap number doesn't change.
Deanovic: Advised that the developer bears the responsibility for any cost overruns. When the developer signs with the
MHFA, it becomes the developers responsibility to complete the project as projected. So, there is an incentive for the
developer to do the project right, or it will cost him over the long run.
Petersen: Asked how the MHFA gets its funding, especially given the shortfall at the state level.
Deanovic: Advised that most of the MHFA funding is federal tax credit. The resources for gap coverage often comes from
the Met Council, Home funds, and grants. The MHFA acts as the broker.
Gundlach: Asked how the project plays out over 20-30 years.
Deanovic: Advised that if the project is set up well in the beginning, the projects work great. Much of the responsibility is in
the management of the facility after its built.
Gundlach: Asked how the project could be affected with respect to affordable housing if the project is sold somewhere in
the future.
Deanovic: Advised that part of the program is that the rents must be guaranteed, enforced by the MHFA and the federal
government. The project going in has a 30 year commitment. Also provided pictures of the proposed units and further
discussed the project.
Bovles: For comparison purposes, noted that the last project that the City provided assistance to for affordable housing
was Creekside, which had a 54-unit building with 11 affordable units. That figure to about $41,500 per unit in assistance.
Using the same math, this project would be approximately $7600 per unit for 26 years, which is the life of the TIF.
Hauaen: Reviewed the evolution of this project which began with the strategic planning process. Advised that the
developers originally had planned 1700 units for the overall Jeffers site, which has now been reduced to approximately 900
units with the additional considerations of the possibility of the transit site, nature center, the interpretive center, the Fire
Station site, the trails, and the school site.
Deanovic: Advised that this overall project is absolutely in cooperation with Herb Wensmann and the Jeffers Estate.
Petersen: Asked about the park land around the lake.
Deanovic: Advised that the park has always been part of the estate. What the plan tries to do is be responsive to the wish
list. Without speaking for the estate, he believes the intent is to have the school in that area.

Petersen: Asked if the land for the Fire Station would be donated.
Deanovic: Advised that they are working on the detail of including both an interpretive center, day care and satellite fire
station on the site. So far, the plan seems to be agreeable and worth pursuing. For the school district site, it seems this
would be a way for the district to buy land at today's prices and know that the land would be available.
Boyles: Reviewed what he perceived to be the Council's direction in that $250,000 toward an affordable housing project
seems like a good investment in the needs of the community, but they need to hear what other things that the taxpayer is
getting. Talked about the additional park land dedication, the interpretive center to be constructed, the fire station site to be
donated to the City, the 15 buildable acres would be available for purchase at cost within 5 years by the school, that the
transit station would be provided.
Deanovic: Noted that even if the Council commits $250,000 to the affordable housing project, that doesn't mean the MHFA
will select this project. If the project is selected,he believed there would be funds available for the transit center. Herb has
committed to the school site. The part issue is still evolving. The estate wants to do a park, but there are some
maintenance issues still unresolved.
Pace: Advised that implicit in approving any application for funds and committing dollars to the project, is the fact that the
Council would be approving a portion of a project that is not yet before the Council for approval. Recalled that there will be a
Comprehensive Plan amendment and zoning changes necessary on this project that this Council will consider during its
normal approval process. Advised that if the Council wishes to allocate funds to this affordable housing project, it needs to
be contingent upon a written understanding with the developer that commitment to any funds does not predispose the
Council to approving any such portion of the project that it may not otherwise be approved. Concerned about contract
zoning.
Deanovic: Advised that he expected such parameters and that they are not asking for carte blanche approval of the overall
project. Agreed to signing a waiver excepting the issues of any further Comprehensive Plan or zoning ordinance
amendments.
Zieska: Noted that he is working under the assumption that the project will go through any and all necessary approval
processes, and that the issue tonight is outside that scope and strictly the question of assistance for affordable housing.
Believed. that the numbers proposed in this project make it viable and realistic, and he would support this type of affordable
housing component at this level of assistance.
Petersen: Would also support a $250,000 contribution given the parameters identified by the City Council. Asked if the
project is not approved by the MHFA, the commitment becomes void.
Deanovic: Believed that the project is a good candidate for MHFA funds if supported by the City.
Gundlach: Liked the project and the overall concept for the site. Concemed about directing funds for a project that there
are no details for at this point.
Bovles: Advised that there are a number of sources where the funds could come from including TIF. At this point that
analysis has not been completed.
Gundlach: Noted that his point is that the funding source is not identified, and therefore believed that committing assistance
was premature. Asked what the revenue would be from the TIF district.

July 29, 2002
Pace: Advised that the number would need to be run, but that our Economic Development Authority also has the powers of
a Housing Authority. A district can be done.
Boyles: Advised that a preliminary analysis shows that the increment would be sufficient to return the $250,000 requested
in assistance.
Hauaen: Asked what was provided for the Creekside project.
Boyles: Advised that $456,000 was provided over a 22 year span. The project was an $11 million dollar project.
Comparably, this project is approximately $6 million.
Gundlach: Repeated that the point is that there was significant analysis. Further believed it somewhat irresponsible to
approve something without that analysis.
Boyles: Noted an email distributed earlier this evening indicates $340,099 would be available through increment, assuming
26 years.
Hauaen: Believe the key question is not how to provide the assistance, but whether the Council supports the concept of the
project at a price tag of $250,000 given the parameters identified. If the appropriate contingencies are defined in protection
of the City's position, believe the Council could support the project.
Gundlach: Repeated that he needed to see the analysis before he is comfortable approving this type of expenditure.
Pace: Suggested that the letter of support provide the contingency that the City purports to fund the monetary commitment
by TIF, subject to that revenue being available. The preliminary numbers indicate that the project is well within the viability
of the project. If the project does not meet the but-for analysis, the funding is not provided. This is not a consideration of
whether we are providing TIF.
Zieska: Added that the situation is unusual, but that at this point, the intent is that the Council approve a conceptual
agreement to provide assistance in the amount of $250,000 provided all other aspects and issues for the project are found
acceptable to the City.
Pace: Asked for clarification as to whether the land for the fire station would be donated.
Oeanovic: Advised that the estate was amenable to the idea, if both the interpretive center and fire station would fit on the
site.
Boyles: Suggested that the letter will be constructed just as for Keystone, Creekside and Lakefront Plaza.
MOTION BY ZIESKA, SECOND BY LEMAIR, TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE
REQUESTED AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE WITH THE CONTINGENCY THAT BY AGREEING TO THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROJECT IN CONCEPT AND THE ASSISTANCE THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL IS IN NO WAY IMPLYING
APPROVAL FOR THE PROJECT UNLESS IT MEETS ALL THE CRITERIA BY CITY ORDINANCES AND STANDARDS.
Oeanovic: Cautioned that if the letter is received as not strong enough support, it could be the stumbling block for the
project.

July 29,2002
Pace: Advised that she sees the motion as two documents - one supporting the project, and a second with the developer
setting out the parameters of that support.
Zieska: Advised that he would amend the motion to indicate two letters.
LeMair: Accepted the amendment to the motion.
Gundlach: Asked if the letter of support committed the City to the project.
Pace: Advised that it does not commit the City because other agencies would not be privy to the agreement with the
developer.
VOTE: Ayes by Haugen, Petersen, Zieska and LeMair, Nay by Gundlach, the motion carried.
Gundlach: Stated he supported the project, but could not support the motion without more specific analysis.

longer period of time in shorter sessions with the intention that repetitive discussions help with retention and implementing
behaviors.
Petersen: Complimented the program, and noted that if there are problems with the customer service staff provides,
Councilmembers typically hear about it. Believes it will be helpful to educate employees even in the event customers may
not get the answers they'd prefer.
LeMair: Asked now success can be measured.

Consider Approval of a Request from Dockside Teen Center Grant Applicant.
Bovles: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
Petersen: Asked if there was previously a staff person for the Dockside program.
Hoffman (Chemical Health Coordinator): Advised that a short-term grant of $15,000 from the Department of Children,
Families and Learning provided for a part-time staff person. Currently the grant would allow us to fund a full-time position for
one year, with an option for an additional 2 years if the program is determined to go well, totaling $150,000.
Hauaen: Asked if the grant application was competitive and what criteria will make the grant stand out.
Hoffman: Advised that the grant is competitive and the level of commitment is a large factor. So far, the community has
been very receptive in supporting the project. The specific criteria is that the program must reflect the Juvenile Justice
System goals.
LeMair: Asked what the funding aspects are beyond the three-year period, or if the program will become self-sufficient.
Hoffman: Explained that the program would probably not be self-sufficient and that the program will have to operate under
more than one grant. There are a lot of grant options to consider in the future. All grants typically encourage programs to
leverage as many other resources as possible. Clarified that the match was 2-to-1, meaning that the program must show at
least half of the money available in terms of in kind contributions.
