Mr. Helkenn suggested that the City consider hiring a f ull-time staffed city engineer because, in his opinion, the City has grown to the point where one is justif ied.

Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Enright, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun. At this time Mr. Mark Ulfers, Executive Director of the Dakota County H.R.A., addressed the City Council and stated that their request for a planned unit development conditional use permit for their eight unit low to moderate income housing project be tabled to allow the H.R.A. time to attempt to obtain funding for one of the eight units to become a handicapped unit. Mr. Ulfers explained that the architect they had hired was not totally familiar with the building code requirements, in that an eight unit or larger building must have at least one handi- capped unit. 87.22 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to table the request from the Dakota County H.R.A. for a planned snit development conditional use permit to allow the Dakota County H.R.A. adequate time to obtain funds to make one of the units into a handicapped unit, as requested. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun, Enright.

Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun, Enright, Sindt. 87.24 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to approve a conditional use permit to National Electric Company for the temporary storage of tanker trucks at their plant located at 21400 Hamburg Avenue and to add condition No. 4 to the permit requiring installation to have adequate outdoor security lighting. 2 • CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING January 20, 1987 Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Nelson, Zaun, Enright, Sindt, Harvey. At this time Mayor Zaun called upon the City administrator to explain his report to the City Council dated January 13, 1987, concerning the process for a multi-purpose recreational arena. The city administrator explained that the Park and Recreation Director and himself had met with Del Erickson, architect for the hockey boosters group, to discuss possible modifications to their proposal for an ice arena that could make it into more of a multi-use facility. The administrator also explained that the opportunity to involve more citizens and interest in the community to explore what a multi-purpose facility might encompass for Lakeville should be considered. A tentative schedule for such a process leading up to a possible general obligation bond referendum on a phase one facility on May 5, 1987, was presented. Mayor Zaun indicated that he felt it was important for the community to have all of the facts concerning such a f acility presented to it bef ore a referendum, and that it would be his position that the people be informed and asked to go out and vote on the issue. Councilman Nelson indicated that he is a strong supporter for an ice hockey program in the community and felt that the time had come to allow a ref erendum on the issue. Councilmember Sindt stated she did not feel a special election should be held, and that the issue, if voted on in 1987, could be accommodated at the November City Council elections, saving the cost of a special election. Councilman Harvey indicated that while he didn't support the prospect of an ice arena at this time, he did feel it is important that adequate study be made of a multi-purpose facility and the time taken to thoroughly study the ramif ications of it. He also indicated it would be important to have an architect that the City is conf ident with in their expertise and abilities work with the City on the conceptual planning Councilmember Enright indicated she supported the suggested process and schedule in the Administrator's memo of January 13, 1987. Councilman Nelson indicated that when the special referendums for the park system improvements in May of 1986 and the fire station No. 3 in September of 1986 were submitted to the community by the City Council, no group was asked to pay for the cost of the referendum in either case. Dave Johnson spoke on behalf of the Lakeville Hockey Boosters and indicated the group's support for the administrator's proposed process and schedule in the January 13th memo. 3 . ~ • CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING January 20, 1987 Janet Lekson indicated that she thought it was important that time be taken to study the issue and inform the community, and that a November '87 ref erendum would be soon enough. Mr. Darrell Gonyea advised the Council of the needs in the future for facilities for the girls gymnastic and volleyball programs i~~ the city. Steve Knutson spoke on behalf of the Lakeville Hockey Boosters and indicated that the program in Lakeville, in his opinion, would decline if the community did not have an indoor facility within the near future . Christine Luke argued that the community has the obligation to make a full disclosure of the benefits and costs for such a facility to all of the citizens thoroughly before an election day. The City Administrator advised the Council that the Park and Recreation Director and himself could meet with Del Erickson, representatives from BRW architectural firm and possibly others and present to the Council at the February 2nd meeting proposals from the firms for their assis- tance to the citizen committee for the conceptual planning effort for a multi-purpose facility. It would be up to the City Council to retain a firm to work with the committee in conceptual planning. 87.25 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Nelson to accept and approve the process and schedule outlined by the administrator's report of January 13, 1987. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Nelson, Enright. Nays, Sindt, Harvey. Councilmember Sindt voted "no" because she does not support the idea of a special referendum on this issue. Councilman Harvey voted "no" because he does not believe the facility will pay for itself . At this time, Councilmember Sindt asked for a brief recess in the council meeting, and the mayor recessed the meeting. Time: 9:10 p.m. Mayor Zaun. reconvened the council meeting at 9:20 p.m. At this time representatives from BRW Architects presented the final construction plans and specif ications for Fire Station No. 3, and he reviewed them with the Council.

At this time representatives from Donohue and Associates presented the plans and specifications for the utility and street improvements in the Oak Shores 3rd Addition for council approval and the setting of a bid date. 87.27 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Nelson to adopt Resolution No. 87-5 approving the plans and specifications for Oak Shores 3rd Addition utility and street project No. 86-10 and set the bid date for February 12, 1987, at 10:00 a.m. at city hall.

Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun, Sindt, Enright. The city administrator advised the council that the date for taking bids on project 86-10 should have been February 19th, rather than February 12th so that the required 21 day legal publication could be achieved since the project is going to be over $100,000. 87.29 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to reconsider the motion setting the bid date for project 86-10. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Nelson, Zaun, Sindt, Enright, Harvey. 87.30 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Harvey to set the bid date for taking bids on project 86-10 for February 19, 1987, at 10:00 a.m. at city hall.

Ayes, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun, Enright. 87.32 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Sindt to receive the staff reports on the projected MSA and county highway road building projects for the next five years in the City of Lakeville. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun, Sindt, Enright. The City Council discussed with the staff the cost implications of the proposed projects and the funding alternatives and problems associated with the proposed projects. The City Administrator explained that the proposed bill to the Minnesota Legislature authorizing the cities in Minnesota to have a, "road access charge", to help support in part the cost of building or rebuilding major roads in the community would be hopef ully necessary if the City is to build the roads on a timely basis to serve a growing community. The sources of funding already present are special assessments, MSA gas tax funds and the ability of a city council to establish a special levy for an across-the-board property tax in a given city. Councilman Nelson indicated he felt the road access charge is a more fair way to have the costs in part collected from the new growth in the community, which is causing the need for an expanded road transporta- tion system. Councilman Harvey asked the city attorney if it would be possible for a city to have a bond ref erendum to support the cost of road building, and the attorney indicated it would be possible. The city administrator pointed out that the current state law allows a city to implement a special levy, and that the citizens have, through the right of petition, the possibility of causing the special levy to be voted upon at a referendum to raise money in support of road recon- struction or expansion. 87.33 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Nelson to adopt Resolution No. 87-6 asking the Minnesota Legislature and League of Minnesota Cities Board of Directors to support state law which would allow cities the option to institute a road access charge. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Nelson, Zaun, Enright, Sindt, Harvey. 87.34 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Sindt to authorize Donohue and Associates to prepare an update of the City Transportation Plan for a cost not to exceed $7,500 as per the proposal from the engineering consultant. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Enright, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson. 6 • CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING January 20, 1987 87.35 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to adopt Resolution No. 87-7 receiving the engineering feasibility report on the extension of utilities and road improvements on Ipava Avenue north of 173rd Street to County Road 46 and on 165th Street west from Ipava Avenue to a point approximately 2,600 feet east of Kenrick Avenue and call a public hearing for February 19, 1987, at 7:00 p.m. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Enright, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun. 87.36 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Enright to adopt Resolution No. 87-8 calling a public hearing on the street improvement to Jewel Acres and Jackson Heights plats, project 86-16, for February 19, 1987, at 7:00 p.m. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Sindt, Harvey, Nelson, Zaun, Enright. At this time the Community Development Director presented a comparison report on the costs associated with iron removal and/or water sof tening in several metropolitan area communities and stated the City of Lakeville should have a similar study done to provide the City with adequate planning information concerning the future expansion of the city water supply system, especially as it relates to possible water treatment to remove iron. Councilman Nelson indicated that some people already have water softening and iron removal units in the community and would pref er to handle the situation on their own, rather than to have the City provide treated water at an increased cost. 87.37 Motion was made by Enright, seconded by Harvey to receive the report from the Community Development Director and authorize Donohue and Associates to prepare a study recommended by the consultant in Septem- ber, 1986, concerning water treatment for the City water supply system now and in the future. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Harvey, Zaun, Enright, Sindt. Nays, Nelson. At this time the City Administrator put a map on the bulletin board showing a concept plan for a viaduct over Interstate 35 on County Road 46/162nd Street and how a full access interchange onto I-35 from County Road 46 could be achieved as proposed in the 1990 and 1991 Dakota County Capital Improvement Plan. The Council and staff discussed the importance of achieving another full access onto and off from I-35 to alleviate future traffic congestion and provide a better transportation system to serve Lakeville. The Council directed that an article on the future interchange be included in the newsletter to the community. 7 ~ ~ ~ # CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING January 20, 1987 87.38 Motion was made by Sindt, seconded by Nelson to receive the report from.
