Discussion;
1.) Job Descriptions - Nanninga was suppose to put Job Descriptions in
an format. He was not done at time of meeting. Will have for next
Administration meeting.
2.) Tower Ordinance - Dan was not available today. Will have something
for next meeting.
3.) Development Review Fee Lein - Nanninga would like to bring this back
to next meeting. He has a few more people he would like to speak
with.
4.) YBSD Agreement - The current draft had a five year time limit for
YBSD to put in River Crossing. They would like to take that out and
put the River Crossing in by demand. YBSD wants the City to do
repairs in the Deuchler report. After repairs are done YBSD wants the
City to do flow monitoring to see if the repairs did any good.
Scheffrahn suggest adding that YBSD is responsible for any and all
future River Crossings. YBSD needs to be able to put River Crossing
in on flow. But if the flow doesn't develop then what happens to the
$595,000 of the Cities money? Nanninga said that YBSD has
8600,000 in the bank. When the City gives them 8600,000 they are
suppose to double the plant. The City needs some kind of
reassurance that if the River Crossing doesn't go in then the
$600,000 comes back to the City. Scheffrahn suggest that the line is
put in unless agreed upon within 60 months to change it. Spang
suggest maybe a longer time frame. Scheffrahn is concerned that if
we let YBSD use flow than they will push it off. YBSD may choose
to put in a siphon to buy some time, but they will still be responsible
to put in the 30 inch River Crossing. Another siphon will not help the
City with deeper evaluations on Hydraulic. YBSD next plant
expansion should be good through 2005. If YBSD has a change in
plans they should come to the City and ask, and the City will need to
agree. If YBSD decides to move the plant, the River Crossing may
need to go in a different place. Need to make sure it will still be
usable. Question is still do we keep a time frame on line or flow? If
demand is there YBSD is responsible to put in line. YBSD can not

prohibit building permits. EPA has to prohibit building permits. J.T.
said that even if YOSD spends the money they are still responsible to
put in the line. The obligation is still there. EPA will realize that if the
plant expansion is going on then capacity will be there, Spang would
like to allow more time, Change C to read treat or transport sewage
across River. The Washington cul -de -sac has a lot of problems.
Elizabeth Street 10 inch sewer cross ingg through side yards. The line
is to small to handle peak flows. Deuchler does not recommend
replacing the line because it will not handle peak flows. Should check
the flows once new Sewer line is put in, Should not have to do these
repairs for three to four years. YBSD would require the City to do the
repairs in the Deuchler report. The $2.5 million dollars worth of
repairs. YBSD is building the line, it theirs. They own the line. Jones
would like to make sure YBSD is responsible for construction and
maintaining the line, Edmeier will not do this if they are not
guaranteed space. Agreement says that anyone developing may not
get permits. Edmeier will get their permits first. Number 6 will be
stricken. Spang is concerned with the time frame and what YBSD will
build, Wywrot thinks that the City will take over maintenance of the
line on Hydraulic. When the development of the Hydraulic line is
warranted then YBSD must put in 30 inch River Crossing. Nanninga
does not want a time frame on it. Wywrot suggest like 15 years.
Nanninga didn't think they would have a problem with 15 years.
Spang asked if there is not a time frame is it a contract? It needs to
have a life. Nanninga will check with Dan,
a.) Sale of Truck Box - Stafford put the brand new pick truck box out on
the internet and has found a buyer. Stafford would like to get j
something for doing the work. Retail is approximately $3000, $1500
is a real good price. Stafford recommends selling for $1000 just to
get the quick sale. City can sell with two thirds Council vote. Lynch
suggest going with majority vote. Jones thinks that if Stafford is
going to get a commission then there should be a contract, Stafford
will not be able to vote, Spang suggest advertising with a minimum
bid. $1000 is a fair amount. Bring to next COW - surplus property
with recommended starting bids. J.T. will talk to Dan,
6.) Budget Review - Leave for Prochaska. Nanninga does have the new
format done. Will have at next Administration meeting.
7.) Roppolo P.U.D. - Will be discussed at next EDC Meeting.
8.► Cannonball Water Issue - Mayor Johnson wants to know if City is
going to pursue Lindley. This should go to EDC. Lindley is
recommending test monitoring wells. He estimates the cost at
approximately $3000. By monitoring the wells, he should be able to
get an idea of what the ground water is doing. This is to determine if
the 1993 Sanitary Sewer line has had any effect on the ground water.
If the City does not do this then they will be sued, If we do it then
the City will have the opportunity to prove it was not the fault of the
City, Jones said that part of the problems is that the construction
has just changed the flow of the ground water so now it doesn't go
