4.3. Utilities Commission Update
Councilmember Dietz indicated that the main issue of discussion at the last two Utilities
Commission meetings has been the location of the water tower. He noted that because
this issue is on this evening's agenda, he would prefer to hold his comments until the
council discusses the issue.
4.4. Park and Recreation Commission Update
Michele McPherson indicated that the commission's focus at the November and
December meetings has been primarily on fees and the location of the water tower. She
indicated that these issues would be discussed in greater detail later in the agenda.
4.5.
Community Recreation Update
Councilmember Motin indicated that the primary item on the Community Recreation
Board was the joint powers agreement. This item will be discussed again at the next
Community Recreation Board meeting.
4.6.
Northstar Corridor Update
Mayor Klinzing updated the council on the December 7th Northstar Corridor meeting. She
noted that the question regarding station design was the main item of discussion. The
mayor indicated that staff would be looking at the possibility of designing a station other
than a basic station.
4.7. Consider Adoption of 2001 Fee Schedule
The city clerk noted that the council reviewed the proposed 2001 fee schedule last
week. She indicated that representatives are present from the Park and Recreation
Commission to answer questions the council has concerning park dedication fee
increases and park fees for park shelters.
The council questioned the need for a fee to reserve park shelters. Park and Recreation
Commissioner Kuester indicated that the fees are charged to raise funds and to help
finance the clean up of the parks and monitoring of the park shelter reservation system.
The council discussed the issue of allowing nonresidents to reserve the park shelters.
Michele McPherson noted that the current policy only allows residents to reserve the park
shelters, however, there is currently a small percentage of nonresident reservations being
made. She explained that these nonresident reservations are recurring reservations that
have been "grandfathered-in."
Council member Thompson encouraged the Park and Recreation Commission to see
that the park use fees do not increase at a fast pace.

Councilmember Motin suggested that a flat rate be charged for residents and
nonresidents. He felt that a policy allowing only residents would not stop all nonresidents
from finding a way to make a reservation.
Mayor Klinzing noted that she is not interested in allowing nonresidents to reserve the
park shelters. She indicated that she preferred that the shelters be available only to tax-
paying residents.
Councilmernber Thompson suggested a timeframe in which nonresidents would be
allowed to make a reservation thereby giving preference to residents.
Michele McPherson suggested implementing the resident fee at this time and allowing
staff to research how other cities handle nonresident requests for park shelter
reservations.
MAYOR KLINZING MOVED TO IMPLEMENT A $20 PARK SHELTER RESERVATION FEE FOR ELK
RIVER RESIDENTS AND THAT NONRESIDENTS NOT BE ALLOWED TO RESERVE THE PARKS OTHER
THAN THOSE THAT ARE CURRENTLY GRANDFATHERED IN. COUNCILMEMBER FARBER
SECONDED THE MOTION.
Council member Motin suggested that staff investigate the nonresident reservation fee.
He indicated he would like to see a short-term availability for nonresidents.
THE MOTION CARRIED 3-2. COUNCILMEMBERS DIETZ AND THOMPSON VOTING AGAINST
THE MOTION.
Michele McPherson noted that the Park and Recreation Commission is recommending
that a $50 reservation fee be charged for non-district schools for the use of Woodland
Trails Park. The commission is also suggesting a deposit for the use of the park. The
council concurred with the recommendation.
Council member Farber questioned the need to increase the park dedication fee by $70.
Council member Farber noted that this fee has continued to increase at a fast pace over
the past few years. Park Commissioner Kuester indicated that the commission felt it best
to implement small cost of living increases rather than run short in the future and have to
implement a larger increase. He also noted that the Park and Recreation Commission is
working toward a park system that meets the needs of the public. He stated that the
commission has found that the park dedication fees for Elk River are competitive with
other communities in the area.
COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO INCREASE THE PARK DEDICATION FEES BY $70.
COUNCILMEMBER MOTIN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 4-1.
COUNCILMEMBER FARBER VOTED AGAINST THE MOTION.
COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 11-110 ADOPTING THE CITY OF ELK

4.9. Discuss Liauor Leaislation
City Administrator Pat Klaers reviewed the status of the city's on-sale liquor licenses. He
indicated that Senator Ourada has provided draft legislation to increase the number of
on-sale licenses for the city from 12 to 18 and that Representative Anderson has
requested additional documentation and support. Pat Klaers stated the Chamber Board
has submitted a resolution of support endorsing legislation to increase the number of
liquor licenses to 18. The city administrator explained that the law restricts the number of
on-sale liquor licenses a city may have according to population. He noted that the
because the population is determined by the federal census, the city would not be able
to increase its number of licenses until the next federal census in 2010. The city
administrator presented the council with a resolution in support of legislation increasing
the number of on-sale licenses.
COUNCILMEMBER MOTIN MOVED TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 00-111 SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL

manager, and government access N producer positions. Lori reviewed the
recommended changes by the committee. She noted that the committee makes its
decision based strictly on duties and responsibilities and the city administrator makes all
pay recommendations.
Discussion took place regarding the recommendation to move the assistant liquor store
manager from pay grade 10 to 2E. It was the consensus of the council to approve this

manager will assume the job duties of the manager during any absence of the liquor

6.2. Reconsideration of Water Tower Site - East Elk River
Michele McPherson indicated that on November 27. the City Council requested that the
Park and Recreation Commission reconsider the placement of a water tower in East Elk
River. Michele noted that on December 13. 2000, the Park and Recreation Commission
voted 7-1 to recommend to the City Council that the tower not be located in either
Hillside City Park or Trott Brook Farms Park.
Bryan Adams. Utilities Superintendent, indicated that there is a need for a water tower in
eastern Elk River due to the eastern area expansion. He indicated that the Utilities
Commission has looked at many sites. He noted that according to the criteria used to
locate a water tower the two parks (Hillside City and Trott Brook Farms) are considered
the best locations. He indicated that the Utilities Commission recommended locating the
water tower at site 3b (Hillside City Park).
Park and Recreation Commissioner John Kuester thanked the council for allowing the
commission more time to discuss the issue. He noted that a main concern of the
commission is the timing in choosing a water tower site. Commissioner Kuester indicated
that the two main concerns with the request by the Utilities to locate the tower in a park
are aesthetics versus economics and land use.
Park and Recreation Commissioner Dave Anderson talked about the impact a water
tower would have on Hillside City Park. specifically relating to the trees. potential oak wilt,
aesthetics and the considerable cost to construct a retaining wall.

Tom Forsythe, 13578 181 st Avenue NW indicated he is a resident in the area and also that
he is representing some of the property owners in the area. Mr. Forsythe was concerned
about how the tower would affect his property. He stated that it is ironic that a tower is
proposed for the area when the area is not serviced by city water. He indicated that
Hillside was not an appropriate location and indicated that parkland is too valuable of
property to locate a water tower.
George Zabee, Utilities Commission, indicated that the Utilities Commission's charge is to
look out for the health and safety of its residents. Mr. Zabee explained that Trott Brook
Farms Park was the first choice, however, because the developer did not receive proper
notice, the choice was changed to Hillside City Park. He noted that the Utilities are
working under a time constraint.
Dana Anderson, Park and Recreation Commission, stated that the commission must
conserve natural resources, as they are limited. He suggested extending the timing for
building a water tower by conserving water in the summer. He noted that placing a
water tower in the park is unfair to the residents the commission serves.
Stoffel Reitsma, Park and Recreation Commission, suggested locating a water tower
further east.
Lana Huberty, Park and Recreation Commission, indicated that the Park and Recreation
Commission does much planning in the process of developing parks. She stated that
Hillside is a valuable piece of land and that there are other options available. She
encouraged the council to look at other options.
City Administrator Pat Klaers spoke to the timing issue. He indicated there are options to
deal with the timing issue such as the construction of a well in 2001 to address the fire
protection issue and then to build a tower as soon as possible in order to be in operation
by 2003.
Fire Chief Bruce West commented on his fire protection issues.
Councilmember Thompson indicated that he is not convinced of the urgency of
constructing a water tower. He stated that there are sites located further east that should
be considered. Council member Motin concurred.
Councilmember Dietz concurred with Councilmembers Thompson and Motin. He stated
that it was not fair to locate the tower in Trott Brook Farms and that Hillside City Park was
too valuable of an asset for a water tower. Councilmember Dietz suggested considering
the Holzem property as a possible site.
Bryan Adams stated that if a tower is not located in the east immediately, the timeframe
for the construction of a well can be moved up. He indicated that the Utilities would
continue looking for a site for a water tower.
COUNCILMEMBER THOMPSON MOVED TO RESCIND THE NOVEMBER 20 MOTION TO LOCATE
A WATER TOWER AT SITE #5 (TROTT BROOK FARMS) AND TO DENY THE REQUEST TO LOCATE
A WATER TOWER IN TROn BROOK FARMS PARK AND HILLSIDE PARK AND AUTHORIZE THE
UTILITIES COMMISSION TO CONTINUE SEARCHING FOR A WATER TOWER SITE IN THE EASTERN
AREA OF ELK RIVER. COUNCILMEMBER MOTIN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION
CARRIED 5-0.
