ALF AMBULANCE 2010 PROPOSED BUDGET
Mr Lawell said ALF Ambulance provides advanced life support ambulance services to the Cities
of Apple Valley, Lakeville, and Farmington. This is done through a Joint Powers Agreement. The
ALF Board of Directors contracts with Allina Health Systems to provide these services. Because
member cities no longer need to budget for operational costs or maintain funds for future ALF
capital purchases, the budget looks significantly different this year As a result, there is a fund
dispersement plan for 2009 and 2010
Mr Dennis Feller, Finance Director for the City of Lakeville, presented the ALF Ambulance 2010
proposed budget. ALF contracted with Allina Health Systems to provide ambulance services
beginning February 1, 2009 Since that time, ALF began the process of liquidating its assets and
commencing to collect its receivables. Consequently, the proposed budget shows a cash flow By
mid-August, there will be $750,000 to distribute back to the member cities, with Apple Valley
receiving $374,143 In February 2010, Apple Valley will receive about $149,657 The process of
collecting receivables is time consuming and may take a decade or more to collect them, so there
will likely be incremental distributions over the years. A small amount of money will be retained
by ALF Ambulance for administrative costs.
Councilmember Bergman thanked Mr Feller for doing a wonderful fob He asked Mr Feller to
explain how much Apple Valley may receive beyond 2010 and the reasoning behind rt.
Mr Feller responded that his best guess is ALF will receive about $300,000 in 2010, with
approximately one-half of the collected amount each year thereafter In other words, there would
be approximately $150,000 in 2011, approximately $75,000 m 2012, and so on.

Councilmember Goodwin said he is pleased everything worked out as well as rt has ALF had a
reputation for providing excellent service He is pleased with the positive outcome following the
transition to contractual services and for making the system even better He thanked everyone
responsible.
MOTION of Grendahl, seconded by LaComb, approving the ALF Ambulance 2010 Budget,
as attached to the City Administrator's memo dated June 5, 2009, as recommended
by the ALF Ambulance Board. Ayes - 5 -Nays - 0
COBBLESTONE LAKE 3RD ADDITION VACATION
Mr Lovelace reviewed the request by Charles Cudd Company to vacate drainage and utility
easements on Lots 5, 8, and 9, Block 12, Cobblestone Lake 3rd Addition. The lots will eventually
be replatted as part of Cobblestone Lake 5th Addition and new easements will be established with
the replat. He noted the request by CenterPomt Energy to reserve a utility over the north end of
the subject property However, there is not currently an easement on the north end of the
properties. Their utility line is located m the common area which is not part of this vacation.

homes in Apple Valley

Crossing Way He explained the common area is held in ownership by the association as well as
approximately 300 owners and would be very difficult to replat into larger lots. The amendments
proposed this evening provide the easiest way to accomplish their goal. The amendments will

REGENT SENIOR APARTMENTS
Ms. Dykes reviewed the request by Hartford Group to reauthorize issuance of the building permit
for the 134-umt Regent Senior Apartments and modifying the License Agreement for access and
site grading. The property is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Foliage Avenue
and 153rd Street W The Council previously approved the site plan and authorized issuance of the
building permit in October 2007 The permit expired October 2008 Staff recommends
reauthorization of the building permit with an expiration of June 12, 2010 In addition, the
License Agreement, which provides access to a 15-foot area in Legacy Park for site grading, will
expire on January 31, 2009 The developer now indicates a 50-foot easement is necessary to
ensure the grades match. Staff has no concern about the proposed change and recommends the
License Agreement be extended to December 31, 2010 Escrows will be required to ensure the
park is restored to its original condition and there is no damage to the infrastructure. She said it is

ORDINANCE AMENDING GARBAGE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION

and recycling collection, biweekly recycling collection, and day-specific collection zones with
zoned collection taking place no later than December 31, 2009 She stated staff met twice with the
residential haulers to negotiate the five collection zones. Compromises were made by all. She
presented a map depicting the zones. Ms. Bodmer then recapped the residents' concerns with
hauling zones as captured through the survey, as well as staffls and the haulers' thought process

Mr Blomstrom gave the second reading of the ordinance amending Chapter 152 of the City Code
regarding Natural Resources Management. The majority of changes provide consistency between
the City's ordinances, the adopted Surface Water Management Plan, and the Vermillion River
Watershed Joint Powers Organization Rules. The four primary changes are 1) modification of
the criteria for which a Natural Resources Management Permit is required, 2) inclusion of
engineering technical requirements from various documents, 3) changes regarding removal of
hazardous trees, and 4) the formalization of protective buffer zone requirements.

Councilmember Goodwin said he likes the amendment requiring removal of hazardous trees and
asked the reasoning behind limiting it to trees that could fall on public right of way or property
owned by another person.
Mr Blomstrom responded that the decision was based on the magnitude of the workload. Staff's
preference was to phase in to this added responsibility It can always be revised in the future.
