than that um motion's been made do I have a second second sent all in favor say I I all right that motion carries okay all right item number six old business we have none going to move on to item number Mr chair may make one comment about the kayak storage policy we had talked about adding disclaimer language to the uh you know regarding personal injury or property damage I think that you know instead of putting in the policy we should put it in the permit that they signed so that's why I the policy you know I want to make a recommendation that we you know to uh Patty that we add language to the permit disclaiming any responsibility of the township for damage to property or uh personal injury by use of the storage rack is that something we should add to the consent agenda then no no I don't think you need to okay I just wanted to because we had talked about it before at the last meeting we talked about the policy I wanted kind of make sure clarify that we had dealt that we're dealing with the issue this we're not dealing with through the policy we going dealing with with the permit instead through that application yeah the application exactly yeah that's what I understood right is that something we need a motion for Chad or not no no okay more for informational purposes that's all okay uh item number seven Calvary Church uh 4604 Green Haven Tommy is that you that would be me yep see this is a continuation um mine is really acting slow too chap yeah just a page through I can't here we are I all right I we don't need to wave the reading do we Jed as soon as I been yeah it's already been I need a motion to open the public hearing I'll I'll move to open the continuation of the meeting for February 4th I'll second that all favor say I I all opposed okay Tom sorry all right continuation of a hearing for an addition of 6,000 ft addition of classroom space onto the east side of the cevy church which is located in the Westy portion of the township off of County Road 96 and Green Haven Drive uh again a six ,000 ft classroom space it's consistent with the master plan that shows additions onto the church on both the east north and west side in addition the master plan shows additional parking being constructed on the east side of the church that is not proposed tonight but they are proposing an addition uh as shown on the plan there 6,000 square ft it takes up a smaller portion of the overall master plan of the site there it's been continued for the past couple of meetings been uh waiting some additional review uh from the town's Wetland scientists that has been completed now that report is in your supplement um and the conditions that they've outlined have been attached to the zoning certificate which the town would adopt if this is approved um in addition to the uh discussion here again for classroom space uh there is some Landscaping in the area that needs to be relocated where the new building is going to be or the addition is to be constructed the storm pond on the east side of the site is being expanded uh slightly in size to accomodate additional storm runoff this uh the west side of the site under the parking lot is the town's first underground storage storm water treatment system and with that came uh requirements for yearly inspections uh have not been performed on a yearly basis but an inspection and cleaning was done at the end of of 2017 so we've got that confirmation um Building Material colors uh with the addition proposed to match the existing building there uh again the previously reviewed by the town at a public hearing there were a couple of residents and uh attendance at the meeting uh and in addition we got uh phone call and emails relative mostly to parking on the site no controversy relative to the addition but uh one gentleman said there he had concerns about parking on Green Haven Drive during church services and potential that it might be a dangerous situation uh Green Haven drives a 32t wide Street it accommodates parking on both sides with 12T Lanes did contact the Ramy County Sheriff's Department after town board recommendation to see if they had any input uh they felt that there is no need to eliminate on street parking there they've not seen a situation we also had a couple living in the neighborhood attend the public hearing and they did not think posting was a good idea so it's fairly limited just to Sunday mornings um previously uh again reviewed by the Planning Commission as a conditional use permit Planning Commission did recommend approval of the project as was proposed um so the step next step in the review process for the town board to review the conditional use permit and take action on that uh in your packet is a uh a zoning certificate which the town typically adopts as part of a approval process if this is to be approved and that would outline the conditions for approval of this project all right SC it got any questions no I'm myself back to the packet the um addition have to get back to the conditional use per you got it P up there so the report from SE that says do not approve this is is included now in the conditional use permit or is that still pending out there it's uh their recommendation was the town not approve it what we what staff did was we said if you approve it approve it subject to the conditions outlined and their recommendations so those are what are incorporated into the zoning certificate I was trying to go between the the doesn't work real well to go from the supplemental package back a little clunky it's funky that's a good way to look at it so uh it's included in there is what you're telling us okay and I have no other questions well I guess I'm kind of curious U Jim you got more well the conditional use permit has 34 conditions but on page is that the 44 44 you only show six of them have been uh uh fit the requirements so 6 out of 34 and we're still exped the fastest well are you talking about the on page 54 44 44 of of the packet anyway it's where the it's the last page of your conditional the use permit requirements yes so this originally was approved by conditional use permit subject to a number of conditions many of which have been satisfied well according to this it's only six of them out of 34 been satisfied uh I think it's more than that I reading that wrong yeah some of them are still incorporated as part of we just included them as conditions since they continue to be conditions for approval such as the inspection of the underground storage system that's included in here that was included with the original permit things like the park fee well that doesn't need to be paid again so we just included that as some of the last conditions uh just to acknowledge that these have already been satisfied they could easily be just taken out too so I'll let ask Mr engineer are you you're comfortable with where it sits today yeah I think uh Mr chair members of the board through these last couple weeks the documents have gotten to the people that need to review them are items that remain to be done are minor the major activities concerns that we have have already been addressed so I think a lot of these Act ction items are minimal activities and can be we can move forward with this activity and and feel confident with the project going forward all right any other questions of Staff okay I need a motion to open for public comment I'll move to open it for public comment I'll second that all in favor say I I I I'll oppos anyone here to speak to the subject pretty quiet out here all right hearing none uh motion to close public comment portion I'll move to close the public portion of the public comment of the oh do you have a second second all in favor say I all opposed all right Steve obviously you've been following this through Planning Commission yes and um the opening question I asked tonight was is really if it's covered staff is satisfied or engineering staff satisfied um I make a motion based on the Planning Commission and town staff review and recommendation approve the conditional use permit zoning certificate with attached requirements for calgar calary church 4604 Green Haven Drive to allow construction of a 6,000 square foot uh feet of classroom space i a second on the motion I'll second that Mo has been made in second and all in favor say I all opposed okay motion carries moving on item number eight new business we have Public Works director item I don't see Dale here nope I'm going to do my best to impersonate Dale we see we like to ask questions that you won't be able to answer yeah thanks thank you for that um he said if there are any hard-hitting questions about this he'd be happy to come back next meeting and walk through them but I believe this is the fourth year that we have done this in this manner street sweeping and he is recommending uh Alli blacktops company quote it is a slight increase over the rate of what we had last year not enough to raise any kind of budgetary flags for him and they were satisfied with the program so I guess I would be looking for either accepting or approving um Ally blacktop or suggesting another course of action this evening from the board the uh I'll just make this comment one this one thing that I want to I would like absolutely to be clear that they are not starting at the pre-dawn hours which gets people very excited when they're out working I 7 a.m. it do I can't see where it said they Dale said he would deal with that and the uh seal coating that they would not be starting too early correct um he um he was out for I think it was the seal coating because of personal issue last year and was not there to provide oversight he has as long as he is healthy said that he will make sure that that does not occur on either one of these Steve so 10hour days they can certainly start sometime after oh yeah s especially May and June and July people have their windows open so well and plus two during the weekend go till 10 at night yes but yeah so I have no questions if if you if it's on the record that they are going to start before 7: a.m. okay I prefer not till 8:00 a.m. but yeah something we should discuss with Dale um does the city have their own sweep sweepers or do they also contract out White Bear City yeah I can find out for you well it'd be kind of curious because boy I notic both of these folks are not exactly close in proximity so and I know I I remember we priced out a sweeper a ways back and it was not economic to purchase one I wondered about that but that might be something for da follow if we can or Hugo or whoever is in the area that maybe we we've combined with youo on other projects like this it'd be nice if we could do a joint deal sure for the future or for this one too well I think it's probably too late for now but this year but something to keep in mind for the future I will uh I will pursue that with him tomorrow all right any other questions of Patrick we didn't stump him well Dale told me even you can't screw this one on tonight kid so well we tried yeah good good try all right looks like we're going to take two these as two separate motions the first is uh to receive the quotes yes I'll uh based on Public Works director's review and recommendation and make motion to receive the quotes from Allied blacktop and Pierce company and Pearson Brothers I'll second that motion's been made in seconded all in favor say I I I all right then the second item is to approve the proposal to Allied based on the public work director's review and recommendation make a motion to approve the proposal from Allied Blacktop company for $86.50 per hour per sweeper and the disposal fee of $34 per cubic yard for a total of $1,650 noting that the funding would come from the storm Water Utility Fund motion has been made do I have a second I'll second that all in favor say i i i i all opposed okay that motion also carries item number 8B we have a comprehensive plan consulting services that you yep yep we're wrapping up the comprehensive plan the hearing uh was called tonight uh there'll be a presentation at the annual meeting Planning Commission will be giving it uh probably his final review next week the original contract for this uh had the project being wrapped W up by the end of 2018 um we took a little bit longer than that received an extension from the Met Council uh that brought us into 2019 uh some additional work some additional meetings involved with that and our consultant Laura from Hoisington kler group is uh thinking it'll be it would cost another $3,500 to bring the plan to completion uh I contacted the town Finance offer to see what we had budgeted if anything in this year and we do have funding budgeted uh to complete the plan uh in the Community Development Fund there's an additional $5,000 to be spent which could be spent this year for this uh under Professional Services so staff recommendation would be to approve a fund uh an amount not to exceed $3,500 uh to help us finish up the comp plan was all this funding from last year or is it coming forward to this year this is new funding for this year so just this 3500 okay is a 2019 money all right any questions hearing none I have a motion to approve this expenditure well I'll make a motion based on the staff review and recommendations approve the additional compensation compensation Hoisington kler Group Inc in the amount of $3,500 to complete the 2040 comprehensive plan with funding from the general fund I second on the motion I'll second that motion been made second all in favor say I I I all opposed motion carries okay item 8 C we have an independent contractor agreement for Township days that you Patrick or you Tom well I can take it Mr Tom yep town was worked with Lisa boft who was a new uh consultant we worked with for Township day uh in 2018 after the tragic death of uh Deb who we' worked with a couple of years before Lisa gave us a proposal to uh organize and coordinate Township day and four movies in the park events uh for 2019 she's requesting a fee of $7,000 for Township day and $300 $350 per night for movie in the park that's a slight increase from uh last year's uh contract amount uh but uh this was reviewed by the park board and recommended for approval to uh go forward with a contract with Lisa J have you reviewed this yes I have no it's acceptable okay well things went pretty well last year didn't they I mean for as far as I think we had the biggest turnout ever last year I know yeah but I mean for uh everything was organized the way it was handled yeah very well yeah I I would agree with that I I think she stepped in and did an admirable job in a kind of a bad situation for us um she tried to find economic ways to handle the movies in the park made good recommendations or the movies yeah those things worked out well she made some changes on the go that kept cost down we had trouble trying to find a for example a food vendor that would come and and work for them uh because we could the crowds were so varied uh for the movie in the park Knight and she ranged for people to come and uh basically sell sell stuff for cheap um without a food vendor there uh the food shelf was a nice addition I mean she works really hard she's also the marketfest uh coordinator and uh I I think we are very satisfied and the price is the price I don't think we're going to do better right got anything any again no all right it looks like this would be a parkboard matter St yep it it sure is and I don't know what we're really supposed to do with it it doesn't say just approve it I guess yeah approve the agreement do approve the form and authorize execution I'll make a motion to approve the form and authorize execution of the uh independent contractor agreement for Township days uh with uh Lisa brro from March 2019 through October 2019 I'll second that right any more discussion all in favor say I I I opposed all right motion carries uh moving on to General business item D the edab and Park Board appointments yep uh Mr chair uh we did add um supplemental information specific to um appointing an additional edab board member um I'm going to ask Chad a question here and actually uh hopefully that will segue into the board making a choice here so we've got two applicants uh who we who staff will recommend filling in out um a couple of seats at the edab I'm not sure what we need to do in terms of procedure if we need to fill the vacant one that expires here in two months or if we can plug those two folks into the ones that have two more years left on their terms do we have a priority that we need to assign I don't believe so going to think I would suggest that if you if you don't mind uh take taking these two applicants and assigning them for the 2-year terms so we can uh dial them in for a while and we can still work on maybe finding so this will at least the two will give us a quorum going forward um and I'd like to get some continuity in there if we could so if we could give those two the two that expire in two years I think that would be the best case scenario well in addition to that uh so the third one that's going to expire are we just going to wait till it expires so you can start over I think so and run and I and I got to tell you honestly I I think the best way that we're going to be filling any of these position is positions is uh is Word of Mouth um I we're not getting anything off of our ads essentially um Tom recruited one of these folks for us um and the other one came just kind of randomly so good enough all right that work for board works for me excellent I believe we have one of the applicants in the audience wants to stand up and talk the random one hey hey Justin would you like to step up the podium and introduce yourself give your address and you're dressed for the occasion K that's looking a credit card what your ti on tonight my name is uh Justin stfran I live at 268 to Martin Way in the township and uh currently work for uh Floridian Hood which is a public affairs firm in St Paul uh we represent local governments in Greater Minnesota and so I do work around Economic Development uh for the Coalition of Greater Minnesota cities as well as the Greater Minnesota partnership and some of our other organizations so and excited to I see you're um been in the township two years yes yep I notice a lot of the applicants now are are newbies newer that's a good thing by the way no that is it's it's kind of brings a refreshing you know may better a new aspect or attitude towards the township too absolutely any questions to the applicate well not really questions I know you U know a couple people that are on the parkboard correct yep and they are both good members of our organization and and you come recommended so can't beat that so um I have no other questions well thank you of course thank you guys all right so we need a motion to approve Justin stafrin or the edab I'll make a motion based on the staff review and recommendation appoint Justin stoer to the edab to fill the unexpired term through one of the unexpired terms through a April 30th 2021 thank you Steve and I'll second that those has been made and seconded all in favor say I I I I'll oppos welcome welcome can yes so there's a another SE there's a so you'll appoint one other person and then there's a third seat that's that expires in about two months okay yeah gotcha and is there anything I'm just thinking in terms of if I ask around are there any specific qualifications around that seat at all or is it other than living in the town that's that's the big one um although we've had a a business rep on edab as well um but this one I think requires Township residency um you know just some business background I think is is preferred yeah and in just in case you're wondering why there's there's three openings we've had one of the members decided he wanted to do something different man for office so welcome so all right uh let's see item number two U appointment of the new Park Board member no we haven't no we haven't got to do the other one supplement that's a supplement that's Kurt kinson um I don't you get to the supplement for you hang I don't hang on here we right here hang on we'll get you there right there you're going to an application okay all right Patrick you want to go over that one ra that one can you get to it uh yeah um so Mr Atkinson came at the recommendation or direction of Tom uh and he just applied today so the the reason for the late addition for your supplemental packets um staff is recommending that uh he fill the addition vacant board member position that expires in 2021 yeah I I'll make a comment that he's on the Park Board y um he's involved he's been involved with the rotary correct so he's connected through the communities uh uh he used I he worked heavily with white bear I think in before even though I lived in the township with through the rotary um has been a consistent I mean he attended our meetings he's not been I think he'd be a good addition actually and he's Pat Tom tells me he's going to stay on the Park Board also well we don't have an issue with that because I would add that from your minutes of June 1995 in your edab bylaws Park Board Utility Commission and Planning Commission members shall receive first opportunity to be involved in the edab um so that he can fulfill that position so yeah obviously you know I do and and I would I'd make a motion to uh accept him as a for one of the vacancies expiring in 2021 if that's what we want to do for our edab sounds like a motion do I have a second I'll second that motion been made in second and all in favor say I I I all opposed motion carries excellent all any other surprises or can we now go to the parkboard you can go to the parkboard now all right I'll get back to the pack okay so this is where it gets a little more difficult for you you're going to have to make a choice uh we have one position open on the park right Tom right right one position um and we have received two applications uh Thomas Wilson and Richard Sinclair um since I am not familiar with either one of these two gentlemen and just looking at their uh their backgrounds Etc it's hard for staff to make any kind of a recommend ation on this one so I hate to be a about it but we're going to we're going to defer to your expertise I can help out a little bit oh good the two applicants we have uh uh one from the south side of the township of which we have two parkboard members already and I believe he's a fairly new Resident less than a year still that was an application we've had on hand for some time uh and then the one from Mr Sinclair we were received here uh this last week uh he's up in the otterview trail neighborhood uh the Northerly portion of the township near brandlewood in otter Park um again a newer resident but he has been in the town for a little bit more than a year um and as a result of geography that seems most appropri to be the best fit as uh we have one other Park Board member from that General neighborhood excellent and I don't know either one of them so personally anyway nor do I that makes it an easy objective decision for you yeah well we have always tried to diversify across the and that makes sense the township get a kind of a broad spectrum so that I mean and I guess that does make probably the most sense with two or 10 applicants I I concur with that and I I would be happy to make a motion to accept Richard Sinclair as a new member for the Park Board second on the motion I'll second that motion's been made in second all in favor say I I I I on opposed all right park boards filled all right filling up board position all right moving on item 8e the water meter replacement agreement ment uh Chad are you going to handle this or yes I know this came in late yep the this what's proposed here is the U response received from census and corain to our settlement agreement the I'm I'm I'm comfortable with with with their proposed amend amended language I don't know if you want to uh we will be meeting again on March 4th so and you're only seeing this now and it's took it took cor Main and since it's a long time to get back to you you may want to you may want to table this and have a chance to review it a question that I have is on this schedule a where it's got the pricing it says the date is as of October 17th and the pricing is good for 90 days that you know exhibit a was something was negotiated you what yeah obviously that's that's got to be straightened out okay yeah I noticed that um there's also pricing in section in provisions and installation of ROM meters as well section two but that's why I think you you know you should have take some time to look at this Chad does this uh also address the possible storage or um cataloging of the meters or not I believe it does since we get them back yeah it's u in in in par in section three it's is it reads it is here by understood by the parties that the present water meters are the property of the town as corn M removes the old water met old meters it shall attach a tag to each meter identifying the address from which the meter was removed uh the town and cor main shall make arrangements for transferring the old meters to town control so yes that's taken care of do we know where we're going to put it or how long we have to keep them yeah there's one provision I think you need to consider um and I've talked to Dale about this and I was comfortable with it the more I look at the more I do have a I'm a bit troubled it's also in section three and it deals with the town ensuring that corn Main and subcontracts will be allowed access for the replacement of all meters I think I seem to remember when the meters originally installed there was issues getting access so so I'm a little concerned about that as I you know as I cons as I review it again um you know your probably point is well taken that we should pause and take some time to think about this you know that section three I my question had to do with they're going to identify where they came from well I would like to know what I don't I don't necessarily TR I hate to use the word trust but I'd like to have have some concept of what they're going to tag these with so that we because 3 4 years from now or 5 years from now I want to make sure we can identify that is the specific if we get in trouble with a resident some way down the road that that is the that is the meter that came out of that particular house for that particular person to so I want it spelled out what tag somewh we agree what tag how they're going to identify where these ped meters come from because that was the concern part of this was well storage but identification in case we have to need it for evidence someday well I would say based on uh the attorney's recommendation we should hold off on this for we've already been dealing with this for how long I don't think what two weeks is going to be kill it is going to be a big thing and I think staff needs to clear up the schedule items to get some further agreement on the pricing structure so that we're Mr chair if I may I know I'm kind of I'm late to all the proceedings regarding this um situation um how long was our warranty with this equipment boy you know that don't you PA Mr chairman board um what I might suggest is you know whatever questions you have you can direct it to them on Friday we have the water meters on our executive meeting okay and I think we can run through those components at that time but if there's anything specific tonight that you want Chad Dale or myself to be making sure we get that information we can have that ready for Friday I think if you can get the pricing straightened out I think by Friday that's one big hurdle because it's out it's dated yeah and I know they have committed to the pricing I think there'll easily be the extension just that their standard statement was it's good for 90 days and this has languished longer than that period but I I guess I from a from a finance standpoint I guess I'm wondering and just as a history question did we receive any kind of a refund for I think that was supposed to be built into this pricing right correct one of the things that was I know that this had been a topic on the Utility Board a long time got it and and so we we wanted to refund but they wanted to charge for new ones and so it's like can we just net that out okay originally if we were to go with someone else they would have to refund us something but it seems though we're using them it was incorporated into the better pricing okay you and actually the point about the 90-day pricing is a good point because in section two of the contract they do state the prices yet the exhibit a also States prices and indicates they're only good for 90 days I mean you know it's it's clear the intent is the price is the price but we should go back to Corin Main and say hey just remove the 90day you know I think the exact board is a better platform to get these issues resolved okay but in the legal World words matter and and so that needs to get cleared up they do I think these to be perfectly honest they they accepted most of our agreement there's really minor I mean Jim you've looked at they didn't they didn't really make much changes to it the basic changes are them just trying to have it worded in a way that does not uh reflect negatively on themselves sure yeah well you could be a politician there you well actually that's that's a pretty fair statement because the non-disparagement Clause is quite important yeah and uh I can understand their position all right uh so I I would be looking for a motion to table this and we'll review it at the exec board meeting I will move to table this conversation to the executive meeting I'll second that would that quick question will that also Chang the the initial leadin paragraph if we're tbling this we're going to run out of time on this yeah that's I'll I'll just bring it back we'll just change it to March okay good can I just confirm I mean were there any specific components we talked about just what the pricing with the access with the storage was there anything else you wanted us to make I think it' be helpful to clarify which fund it's coming out of funding funding and also exactly what do they mean by tagging and and documenting yeah I I don't know do they take a black Magic Marker and write something on the meter or what do they do well to Steve's point you know how can you tell five years from now that this meter came from this location how how would we handle that and that'll be a discussion that we'll get into more detail at the executive meeting we've got in to this discussion as to how long we will need to have them and and when we can dispose of them so that that'll be a good one for Friday and the issue of the word the of the use of the word ensure we can deal with that on Friday as well all right motion's been made in second and uh all in favor say I I I opposed all right moving on uh looks like the last item on the agenda the resignation of a probationary employee y staff recommends that we accept this resignation we also also uh are recommending that in terms of filling the position in a temporary manner with uh a temporary accounting firm employee um we would like to extend our search for uh filling in that position to a spring posting so that we can um draw recent college graduates to the position for training purposes so in the interum mhm you're going to have to use some temporary help of of sorts to to fulfill that yes uh will that spring posting then give you adequate time to I know you you yourself have want to do some further refinement of Staff functions yes will that give you enough time to be able to do that then yeah that's the first one we're going to doy yeah I I don't think there's any question about accepting the resignation U and uh all right so I need a motion to accept the resignation of the probationary employee I'll move to accept the resignation of the pro probationary employee any you want to do the second part to yeah and authorize hiring hiring an account temp from the employment agency to fill the position temporarily and then we're going to reopen the position within 6 to8 weeks as recommended and and now the more I think about it just in terms of timing I think what we we should do is hire our temp employee and overlap that with posting it probably within the next week or so uh and letting it go for a couple weeks because we're getting to the end of college Years I mean well I I I will modify my recommendation to uh to agree with what the town clerk has recommended uh you're in the best position to know

Municipal postings there um and I know that uh Patty has three or four that she usually posts in as well I think we're going to expand it um I also know I've got a couple of folks that I know uh
