Council Meeting:

Topic:
Franchise Fees Overview
Action Required:
Direction
Summary:
During the 2015 City Council goal setting work session, it was requested that staff bring
back information regarding franchise fees on electric and natural gas providers. This
report provides that information.
Minnesota Statute allows for municipalities to charge certain utility companies fees for
the operation within the City. Fee structures can vary from percentages of use to a flat
amount per account, per month. In order for the City to require franchise fees to be paid
by the utility, the City must pass an ordinance allowing for that action.
Franchise fees can provide an additional revenue stream to fund special projects.
These can include street improvement funds, park funds, or other funds. The below
table shows what a flat monthly fee per account could provide to the City of Corcoran in
revenue at a rate of $2.00 per month:
Utility # of accounts Monthly fee Annual Revenue
Electric 1,860* $2.00 $44,640
Gas 800* $2.00 $19,200
Total $63,840
*number of accounts is a guess, staff is requesting actual number of accounts from
utilities
In the above scenario the utility would be required to pay $24.00 per account per year. It
is a near certainty that the utility would pass this fee on to the user, making the bills
$2.00 larger each month. A resident who has electricity and natural gas service would
likely pay $48.00 more each year.
Financial/Budget:
There are limited costs associated with drafting the required ordinance updates. Added
revenue would allow for additional projects to be funded by the City.
Alignment with Values:
This item relates to the following adopted values:
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds
is essential for citizen confidence in government.
Page 2
Options:
1) Request further information on the possible implementation of franchise fees.
2) Direct staff to proceed with drafting ordinances to implement franchise fees.
3) Direct staff to take no further action at this time.
Recommendation:
Staff supports the use of franchise fees if dedicated towards a specific program or
purpose. An example would be to escalate the process of paving gravel collector roads
or to eliminate assessments for the dust control program.
Council Action:
Direct staff on further action regarding franchise fees.

Forklift Purchase
Action Required:
None – informational
Summary:
At the April 9, 2015 City Council meeting, the Council authorized staff to p urchase a
used forklift not to exceed $7,000. Since that time staff has monitored available used
forklifts for purchase. The original plan was to purchase from a government surplus
program, unfortunately the supply of forklifts has been extremely limited.
Due to the limited supply on the government program, Public Works Superintendent
Meister approached several businesses about a possible purchase. Through this
process he was able to obtain a forklift from HERC-U-LIFT out of Maple Plain. Details
below:
Mitsubishi FBC30N-LP
LP gas powered
Non-pneumatic tired
11,000 hours
$5,500
Financial/Budget:
The purchase is funded out of the 2014-2015 Equipment Certificate bonds and has no
effect on the General Fund.

STREET NAME AND ADDRESS POLICY
The Design Standards in the Corcoran Subdivision Ordinance requires developers to comply
with the City street naming system (Section 945.010, Subd. 13). The following procedures detail
the process for naming streets in new developments. It is the City’s policy to retain existing
street names for the streets in existence at the time this policy is adopted.
1. Street naming system.
Streets and roadways within the corporate limits of the City shall be named similarly to
the predominate county system as follows:
a. North-south streets.
i. Commencing at the east boundary of the City and proceeding west, all
north-south streets or roadways shall be constructed approximately
every 330 feet and shall have, in alphabetical order, a name relating to
the alphabetical naming system used in neighboring communities and
which generally adheres to a county type system. All such streets shall
be referred to as “lanes.”
ii. Addresses on the east side of a lane shall end in an even number and
addresses on the west side of a lane shall end in an odd number.
iii. The block number system, commencing with the 6200 block at the most
southerly point of the City (all property north of 62nd Avenue and south of
63rd Avenue or extensions thereof), shall be used to designate addresses
on lanes. Proceeding north, block numbers (addresses) shall be
increased sequentially by 100 at every avenue or extension thereof
(approximately every 660 feet) as more fully set forth in subsection (2) of
this policy. Address numbers on lanes shall increase as one proceeds
northward from the avenue designating the block number.
b. East-west streets.
i. Commencing at the south boundary of the City and proceeding north
there shall be east-west streets intersecting with the lanes described in
subsection 1(a) of this policy approximately every 330 feet and the
east-west streets shall be alternately named "Avenues," beginning with
62nd Avenue, and "Places," commencing with 62nd Place. 62nd Avenue
shall be the most southerly east-west street in the City, with 62nd Place
the next east-west street to the north.
May 28, 2015
Page 1
ii. Addresses on the north side of an avenue or place shall end in an even
number, while addresses on the south side of an avenue or place shall
end in an odd number.
iii. The block number system, commencing at the most easterly boundary of
the City with the 19100 block and proceeding westward shall be used to
designate addresses on avenues and places. Proceeding west, block
numbers (addresses) on avenues and places shall increase sequentially
by 100 at every lane or the extension thereof, beginning with 19100 on
the most easterly boundary of the City.
c. 62nd Avenue and 63rd Avenue. There is an irregularity in the overall system that
results in the distance between 62nd Avenue and 63rd Avenue being more than
1,320 feet. Despite this discrepancy, the previously identified 63rd Avenue shall
continue to be known as 63rd Avenue regardless of the location of or identification
of any street or roadway as 62nd Place. The alternating pattern established in
subsection 1(b) of this policy in which avenues and places are established
approximately every 330 feet, shall thereafter be followed as set forth in this
policy.
d. Other names. Because the grid system established in this policy is not always
applicable for curvilinear or meandering streets, the City shall also allow a
system of streets which shall be designated with unique names. Addresses on
such streets shall be taken from the grid system as much as possible and shall
be a continuation of the applicable north-south or east-west system throughout
its length. Unique streets include, but are not limited to, parkways, boulevards,
etc.
2. Posting of address numbers.
To provide for the safe and orderly functioning of service to the people of the City from
the police, fire department, post office, and private delivery functions, it shall be the duty
of the owner, lessor, or occupant of every house, industrial building, commercial building
or other building to have the proper address number affixed to the building as required
by the state building code and the fire chief and as required by City ordinance.
3. Assignment of street names and address numbers; official records.
The City shall assign address numbers and street names in accordance with this article
and shall maintain the official address system records. Every property owner shall be
responsible for obtaining the proper number and having the address number of his
property correlate with the number assigned thereto in the official address system
record.

Topic:
Conditional Offer – Full-Time Police Officer
Action Required:
Approval
Summary:
At the March 12, 2015 City Council meeting, staff was directed to initiate the Police
Officer hiring process. The position was posted on March 16, 2015 and applications
were accepted through April 6, 2015. We received 55 applications, a majority of which
were experienced police officers. After scoring the applications the top nine candidates
were offered the opportunity to move on to the first round of the interviews. Seven
applicants chose to interview.
The first round interview panel was composed of Director Gottschalk, Officer Warren,
Officer Hunter, Officer Olson, and Administrative Assistant Steelman. The top three
candidates were offered the opportunity to return for the second round of interviews.
Two candidates chose to return for the second interview.
The second round interview panel was composed of Director Gottschalk, Lieutenant
Burns, Administrator Martens, and Chief Belland from Medina. Both candidates did
exceptionally well in the second round and in the end were separated by less than two
points. On May 28, 2015 the Council approved a conditional offer for the first candidate.
The candidate did not meet the conditions of that offer. The offer associated with this
item is a conditional offer of employment for the second candidate, Peter Ekenberg.
The entire hiring process focused not only on the candidate’s aptitude as a peace
officer, but also their focus on the community and ability to build positive working
relationships. A comprehensive background investigation has been conducted on Peter
Ekenberg and we recommend moving forward with the attached conditional offer.
The conditional offer will be subject to two conditions:
1. A recommendation to hire based on a written and oral examination by a licensed
psychologist; and
2. Successful completion of a physical examination by a licen sed physician.
The department is looking forward to getting the training process started and filling the
vacancy on the team. The March 12, 2015 staff report project ed the earliest potential
start date as June 1, 2015 and the May 28, 2015 staff report suggested a start date in
early July. With the recent delay, we now anticipate a start date in early August.
Staff Report—July 9, 2015 Council Meeting Prepared by Director Gottschalk
Page 2
Financial/Budget:
This position is filling a vacancy left by the promotion of Lieutenant Burns. The wages
outlined in the conditional offer are lower than the wages budgeted for Lieutenant Burns
in 2015. The figures in the offer are commensurate with a lateral entry for an
experienced Police Officer. For specific details please review the attached conditional
offer.
Alignment with Values:
This item relates to the following adopted values:
EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES
We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver
quality services in a highly professional, cost-effective, and friendly manner.
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds
is essential for citizen confidence in government.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

opportunity to participate in all aspects of employment, citizenship, and
governance in the City of Corcoran based exclusively on their ability to
contribute.
Options:

STAFF REPORT Agenda Item 11c.
Council Meeting:
July 9, 2015
Prepared By:
Brad Martens
Topic:
City Logo Update
Action Required:
Direction
Summary:
Logos are important images that represent the item of which it is associated with. The
words “City of Corcoran” are associated with the below logo which represents a farming
community and wildlife. It is staff understanding that the logo was created at the time of
the construction of City Hall (1994).
CITY OF CORCORAN
While the ideals of a farming community and presence of wildlife will continue to be in
the fabric of the City, it is evident that Corcoran is transitioning into a new phase. It is
staff opinion that the existing logo does not adequately incorporate the Corcoran of the
future. In addition, the logo is difficult to integrate into documents as it is difficult to scale
due to the detail in the image.
Updating logos for communities generally happen one of two ways:
1. Expansive community engagement process
a. Pros: involves community, creates buy-in
b. Cons: costly, takes a great deal of time and effort to coordinate the
process
2. Guided assignment to an individual/group with Council approval
a. Pros: minimal costs, limited time commitment
b. Cons: limited community involvement and buy-in
Staff requests the approval of the City Council to use the second approach and contact
the Rockford School District (or other school district) in order to find assistance in
creating a possible new logo for the City. The City Council ultimately sets the vision of
the community and staff believes that the project could be done in an efficient manner.
The following guidelines would be used:
Logo must represent existing Corcoran while not being overly detailed so as to
leave room for the future
Logo must be able to be scaled up and down while remaining viewable
Logo must work well in color and black and white
Logo must be simple but professional
Logo must be in harmony with the mission, vision, and values of the City
Page 2
The following process would be anticipated:
Summer 2015: Staff works with Rockford School District (or other district) to
partner on the project
Fall 2015: Individual(s) or class design several options
Fall 2015: Staff narrows down options to around three recommended options
Fall/Winter 2015: City Council selects new logo
Winter 2015/2016: Staff incorporates new logo into website and documents
Financial/Budget:
Staff does not anticipate any costs over the summer and fall to get to the point where a
new logo is recommended. If the City Council moves forward to select a new logo, the
City may wish to provide some form of compensation to the school district for its
assistance.
Other costs when implementing a new logo involve replacing pre-printed items around
the office. Currently that would be limited to existing business cards of which limited
quantities exist.
Alignment with Values:
This item relates to the following adopted values:
FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY
We believe that fiscal responsibility and the prudent stewardship of public funds
is essential for citizen confidence in government.
PROFESSIONALISM
We believe that continuous improvement is the mark of professionalism and are
committed to applying this principle to the services we offer and the development
of our employees.
Options:
1) Direct staff to proceed as requested.
2) Direct staff to abandon the project.
Recommendation:
Direct staff to proceed as requested.
Council Action:
Direct staff on what action to take regarding updating the City logo.
