OTHERS IN ATTENDANCE: Dan White, Chad Chaffe (Mi-Energy), and Jill Veerkamp (St. Charles Press).

1. ESTABLISH QUOROM/CALL TO ORDER

Quorum was established with Mayor Schaber calling the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.

2. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

3. APPROVAL of the AGENDA:

Motion to approve the agenda: Dave Braun

No discussion.

Motion earned.

4. Notices and Communications. Mayor Schaber read a notice/invitation from the St. Charles School District inviting

community members to serve on the community facilities task force. Admin. Koverman relayed that he had a conversation with

Supt. Apse at which time he asked if a member of council would be willing to serve on the committee. Mayor Schaber asked if

there were any volunteers for the seat on the committee. Councilmember Kramer expressed his interest. He called for a motion to

appoint Clm. Kramer to the St. Charles Facilities Task Force.

Motion to approve: Wayne Getz

No further discussion.

Motion carried.

Admin. Koverman also relayed a ribbon cutting ceremony for Monday, October 8 at 6 p.m. to celebrate the completion of the

Safe Routes To School project. Supt. Apse and Admin. Koverman will make the arrangements for the ribbon cutting that will

take place as part of the Board of Education's regular meeting which will be held at the elementary school.

5. Review ofFinancials.

No questions.

6. Mi-Energy Electric Service Agreement Consideration. Admin. Koverman highlighted pieces of the contract including the

20-year agreement that mirrors the Upper Midwest Municipal Energy Group (UMMEG) contract with a 10-year initial term and

two 5-year off ramps. The contract should mimic the UMMEG contract with the only difference is that MiEnergy will be the

wholesale power provider instead ofUMMEG. He added the continued discussions also allowed for a territory agreement

whereby the city will be provided with service territory for only the cost of the infrastructure and reasonable integration costs, but

no mil charge which is customary. This savings alone would be estimated in the tens of thousands. With the proposed agreement

that has been worked on for nearly one year, it was recommended to adopt the service agreement with Mi-Energy. A motion to

approve the contract agreement was moved.

Motion to approve: Dave Braun

No further discussion.

Motion carried.

7. 2019 Preliminary Governmental Budget. Mayor Schaber highlighted the preliminaiy governmental budget and relayed that

if Council had any questions to please forward them. The initial budget outlooked proposed a 10.49 percent increase. Mayor

Schaber added that previous 2018 preliminaiy was 13.85 and we finished substantially lower.

8. Staff Recommendation. Admin. Koverman highlighted the memo enclosed in the packet that outlined staff discussions

related to a recent change of position by Kristine Engstrand and her willingness to remain part-time for the foreseeable future.

Because of this willingness and desire to stay part-time for now, it affords the city additional time to look long-term at a future

transition. As Koverman relayed, advertisement for a full-time administrative assistant to stabilize the office and allow for cross-

training to begin would be the first step. In January of 2019, the search for a full-time accountant would begin. He added that

staff was making the recommendation on the best information they had to date and that as a staff they had contemplated a variety

of scenarios, but also talked about the problems and issues they were having and how this direction would help to alleviate some

of those problems. Mayor Schaber expressed that he liked the plan to help with a future transition. Clm. Braun expressed that

perhaps the part-time option could be longer. Clm. Hilmer agreed that it sounded like a good transition plan. Clm. Kramer

expressed that it sounded like staff had given this matter serious consideration and moved to accept the recommendation.

Motion to approve: David Kramer

No further discussion.

Motion carried.

9. Ordinance #603 Medicacom Franchise Extension (1st Reading). Admin. Koverman relayed that Mediacom contacted city

staff about an extension to their agreement and that as part of its due diligence staff spoke with legal counsel to consider its

options. After researching various avenues, because of the excessive costs that can be incurred by a city to negotiate a contract, it

was deemed that it was not in the best interest of the city for the possible return. He added that the city appreciates Mediacom for

providing residents options in the telecommunications market. When discussing the extension he did request that the franchise

match existing franchises, therefore the fee would be increased to 5 percent. Mayor Schaber asked for a motion to approve the

extension. A motion was made to approve the first reading.

Motion to approve: Craig Hilmer

No further discussion.

Motion carried.

10. Resolution #27-2018 Approve Election Judges. Mayor Schaber relayed that the resolution was in the packet for

consideration and if there were any questions. A motion was made to approve the resolution as presented.

Motion to approve: Wayne Getz

No further discussion.

Motion carried.

BUSINESS ITEMS:

4a. Review and Recommendation for Sale of City Property and Minor Subdivision. Admin, Kovennan

outlined the reasoning for the review by the Plannmg & Zoning Commission as part of Statute and that

historically because of the nature of the urgency for the sale, that P&Z has not been able to take part in the

process as the sale has been deemed an emergency in order to expedite the construction process. In review

of the City's comprehensive land use plan, creatmg and selling infill lots that are feasible for additional tax

base and utilities, is within the plan. As part of the creation of the lots which meet the standards for lots, a

minor subdivision is necessary to create the two additional lots within the R-1M District. The lots will be

sold "AS IS" and as undeveloped lots which will require private water/sewer lines and driveway access and

culverts. Questions were asked regarding reasonmg behind the sale and it was explamed that it was deemed

that the land could be sold and taxes generated. No further discussion was held and a motion to approve the

recommendation to the City Council for a minor subdivision and for sale of the property was moved.

Memorandum

To: Mayor and Council

From: Kristine Engstrand

Date: 9/7/2018Subject: 2019 Governmental Budget Update

After further discussions with staff, we have adjusted the preliminary levy to an increase

of 9.51% instead of the original increase of 10.49%. This is due to a reevaluation of the

CIP projects in 2019. Due to a repainting issue with the pool (estimated cost $30,000),

the CIP budget was reduced $10,000 due to the shifting ofJessen's Park bathrooms to

2020 (a reduction of $40,000).

Attached are additional options for consideration. Because revenues have kept up to or

exceeded expectations and expenditures are less, once again, we have not had to transfer

any monies from the Garbage Fund in 2018, and the cash balance is around $50,000.

While adjusting CIP expenditures, or shifting, can create issues long term, the outlook of

2020allows for pushing of one or two items without issue.

As always, if you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks!

]V[emorandum

To: St. Charles Planning and Zoning Commission

From: Nick Koverman, City Administrator

Date: August 30, 2018

Subject: Minor Subdivsion/City of St. Charles Sale of Parcels A & B

REQUEST INFORMATION: The City of St. Charles owns a parcel of undeveloped

land located along Old Valley Road. The parcel is proposed to be divided to create two

lots with the remaining land that is unsuitable for other purposes to be maintained by the

City. Parcel A contains approximately 0.79 acres, while Parcel B contains approximately

0.91 acres. The lots have been improved, but lack water and sewer, but are more than

ample size for residential housing. City Charter requires a review by Planning & Zoning

for the sale of city owned property, unless an emergency sale is deemed necessary, at

which time the review can be dispensed with. A recommendation for a minor subdivision

and sale of the property is requested.

SITE CHARA.CTEMSTICS: The petitioner owns a parcel of undeveloped land that is

inside city limits and located along Old Valley Road in the original plat of the city limits

and is currently designated in the R-1M (Modular and Mobile Home Residence District).

The two undeveloped parcels require extension of private water and sewer. Parcel A is

129 X 265 feet while Parcel B is approximately 129 X 315 feet. It exceeds the minimum

size of 75 X 100 as a proposed lot.

PLANNING ASSESSMENT

Section Three (Minor Subdivision): 803:01 Qualifications (B). The simple division of a

single platted lot to create no more than PA'O lots and the newly created property line will

not cause the remaining portion of the lot or any structure to be in violation with this

Ordinance or the St. Charles Zoning Ordinance.

The certificate of survey shows the creation of two parcels within the R-1M of Parcel A

(0.79 acres) and Parcel B (0.91 acres).

The selling of the land is in keeping with the City's Comprehensive Plan to:

-Encourage infill development on existing lots in the City.

RECOMMENDATION: As the Zoning Administrator for the City of St. Charles, I

recommend the Planning and Zoning Commission forward a favorable recommendation

regarding the request to the City Council for the division and sale of the properties.
