Present: Council members Nelson, Sindt, Enright, Harvey and Mayor Zaun. Also present: Patrick McGarvey, City Administrator/Clerk; Dennis Feller, Finance Director; and a reporter from Countryside Newspaper and a reporter from St. Paul Dispatch. The city administrator reported to the council that as a result of the notification sent out by the Lakeville Chamber of Commerce concerning the availability of $3,392,000 of industrial development revenue bond authority for the City of Lakeville, five calls have been received of inquiry. The only call that specifically stated, that they would proceed to prepare the necessary bond and legal papers is from Maynard Johnson, representing N.E.I., Inc., for a $2 million bond issue. The purpo ~e would be to build a new plant to replace the existing N.E.I. facility located on Hamburg Avenue near the city water tower. The administrator pointed out that there were other inquiries that were for amounts of less than $1 million, but .the company representa- tives were not conclusive as to their immediate plans to proceed by the use of industrial development revenue bond financing. The council then discussed the qualifications under present laws, and expected changes in the ..federal and/or state laws, concerning the use of industrial development revenue bond authority by the community that has the authority or another community to which it is allocated, as it relates to future years' allocations. Discussion also occurred on the financial cost to the City. if the .City does not use, transfer to another community, or relinquish its bond authority before and after October 31st. The administrator pointed out that the City of Delano's request to receive $1.2 million of authority from the City of Lakeville was still pending, and that the Delano officials would appreciate receiving a decision tonight so that they could make appropriate plans for their project, which is eminent. The council reviewed a joint powers agreement, prepared by attorneys representing the City of Delano and reviewed by the city .attorney of Lakeville, concerning the allocation of $1.2 million. of Lakeville's entitlement to Delano. 84.479 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Sindt to approve the Septem- ber 24, 1984, draft of the joint powers agreement .with the City of Delano providing for their use of $1.2 million of industrial develop- ment revenue bond entitlement from the City of Lakeville, and authorize the mayor and clerk to execute the agreement. CITY OF LAKEVILLE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING September 24, 1984 Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Nelson, Zaun, Sindt, Enright, Harvey. 84.480 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Nelson to approve, and authorize the mayor and clerk to execute, a development agreement with Consumers Realty and Development Co., Inc. dated August 20, 1984, identified as agreement R8-20A-84. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Sindt, Enright, Harvey, Nelson. The city administrator advised the council of the current status of talks with officials with the City of Burnsville. toward providing primary ambulance response service in the western part of Lakeville after October 1, 1984, when the Burnsville system will be in opera- . tion. Concerns were expressed by employee representatives of the Burnsville Fire Department and other city officials taking on an additional primary service area outside of their city limits for the new ambulance service. The .city administrator pointed out that it appears Devine Redeemer Hospital will be offering to extend their two ambulance service to the three cities, Lakeville, Apple Valley and Farmington, at least for a month after October 1, 1984, in order to allow Burnsville time to get their system underway. Devine Redeemer does not feel it can adequately serve the large geographic area with only one unit and provide adequate response time. That is the reason for the three cities' request to .the City of Burnsville to have Burnsville assume primary responsibility for an area in the western part of Lakeville. If that can be accomplished, the three cities would contract with Devine Redeemer for one ambulance unit to serve the remaining area of the three cities. The council members discussed the need for them to personally contact members on the Burnsville City Council in the future to express our concerns and requests .for their system to serve a small part of Lakeville, as the primary responder. The city administrator presented a recommendation concerning reduc- tions in department budget requests for 1985 at the council work session, which was started at 6:30 p.m. prior to the special council meeting. The recommendations included the need to reduce requests of the expenditures for personnel in .the. police and park departments. The council also decided to reduce funds in the contingency fund for emergencies or council initiated projects in 1985. 84.481 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Nelson to receive the recom- mendations from the administrator concerning reductions in the preliminary 1985 general fund budget and authorize the finance director and administrator to prepare drafts of the resolutions for council action at the October 1st council meeting in accordance with the recommendations. 2 i • • CITY OF LAKEVILLE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING September 24, 1984 Roll call was taken on the motion.
