The goal for this fund raiser will be to help raise funds for the library so books and any other determined items can be purchased to benefit library patrons in the future years. Dick Hatfield, an active participant as a tandem skydiver, spoke in regards to the jump-a-thon fund raiser. Be has been active with two jump-a-thons in the past with one being in Laurel for the benefit of a young girl. He does not believe this is a dangerous endeavor. Be believes the most dangerous endeavor is driving to and from the airport. The event will be an epilogue to the Middle School Aviation week. The 3ump-a-thon is for senior citizens only, age 60 and over. Ideally, they would like a minimum of six and a maximum of twelve jumpers. Pledges will be collected per thousand feet successfully completed in the parachute jump. The Laurel airport has one of the finest skydiving drop zones in the state. There is an aircraft based at the airport primarily for skydivers and there is a skydiving club that uses the airport. The skydiving club will give a person all Minutes of the City Council of Laurel Page 2 Council Meeting of November 7, 1995 A skydiving company from Missoula, Montana includes two guys, one a professional pilot and the other a skydiving instructor. Dave Stewart is the Tandem "Boss Man". Me is a world ciasa skydiver and makes a business of teaching skydiving. Dave has never participated in a jump-a-thou, but he is very enthused. He will do everything in his power to make sure every participant will have one of the greatest experiences in his life. Dick mentioned a waiver is signed for a jump. A waiver is signed because they do feel it is safe. Folks get a lot of their knowledge from books. Therefore, it is respectfully proposed to offer this charity to the Laurel Public Library. It is also believed that this fund raiser would benefit the largest number of people, young end old, for the greatest period of time. Dick stated there is no legal problem in doing a jump-a-thou. The jump-a-thon sponsor is relieved from any liability. Joe Leckie, City Attorney, mentioned that the city could accept any funds that were raised by the jump-a-thou. He feels the city shouldn't take action in adopting the jump-a-thon as a fund raiser, which could put them in a line of liability. The library or individuals can be involved in participating in the fund raiser activity as a private individual but not representing the city. The library can hand out pledge sheets as long as it is clear that the jump-a-thon is not sponsored by the city. Alderman Dickerson noted that the funds received from the fund raiser should not be taken into consideration in the next budgeting session. Don Hackmann, City Clerk, pointed out that there is a library donations cash account in the general fund. At the time of budget, the donation money is budgeted separately from the operating budget. Motion by Alderman Dickerson that the city council accept, on behalf of the library, any funds that were donated as a result of the jump-a-thou fund raiser, seconded, by Alderwoman Kilpatrick. Motion carried 7--0. LAUREL UNDERPASS STORM DRAINAGE: Jim Flisrand read the City of Laurel agreement for use of the city's storm sewer by Montana Department of Transportation. The purpose of the agreement is to allow the state highway and underpass structure in the area of 1st Avenue and Main Street to drain storm water into the city's 60-inch storm sewer trunk line. The agreement shall be bound as follows: 1. The City of Laurel agrees to maintain the 60-inch storm sewer pipe only. Ail connections, piping, equipment, and maintenance associated with transmitting the Montana Department of Transportation storm water to the 60-inch sewer will be borne in its entirety by the Montana Department of Transportation. 2. For and in consideration of the City of Laurel services herein described, the Department of Transportation agrees to participate in the cost of any and all discharge permits and/or future treatment requirements of the storm waters discharging from the 60-inch storm sewer in question. In accordance with available storm water run-off analysis, the Montana Department of Transportation agrees to participate in 4% of the permit and treatment costs identified above. In addition, contamination of storm waters verified to originate from or pass through the Montana Department of Transportation structures and roadways will be the responsibility of the Montana Department of Transportation in its entirety. Jim notes the primary agreement allows the state to tie into the city's storm sewer system and will participate in 4%, which is the volume contributing to the storm sewer by the state. The 4% is relating to any possible future costs for permits or treatment that may come from the federal government. Jim explained that any contamination of storm waters, due to a tanker rupturing at the underpass or a situation that is generated from the state highway or underpass structure, will be determined as responsibility of the state. Jim is presenting a resolution to the council approving an agreement between the City of Laurel and the Montana Department of Transportation. He stated Mr. Weed will have the agreement reviewed by the Montana Department of Transportation. The resolution will adopt the agreement as written. Joe Leckie stated that if there is a significant change, then the agreement will have to be readopted by a resolution. Mr. Weed stated he is familiar with the information in the a~reement except for Minutes of the City Council of Laurel Page 3 Council Heeting of November 7, 1995 treatment costs. He feels they would need to look at the second part pertaining to contamination in case of an accident in the underpass. A question was asked, if there was a tanker accident, wouldn't the responsibility go to the company or owner of the tanker? Jim stated that is the proper procedure. The intent is to not have the city caught in the circle of responsibility. The underpass is a structure of the state and highway system, therefore the state is the one that needs to go through the process to make sure that the company or owner is responsible for the contamination. Alderman Graham stated treatment at this time is not necessary because of the population. He noted that in the future as there are more environmental concerns, this may progress to where all cites will have to treat drain sewer water. He points out that the water in the underpass is highly polluted water and isn't sure that the 4% participation by the state is high enough. If the City of Laurel needs a treatment plant to treat drain sewer water in the future, can the city afford it? Alderman Graham's second responsibility of Cenex agreement with Cenex? concern is that in previous discussions it was the and the State of Montana. Will there be another The answer to his question is no. Cenex is financially redoing the existing drain system and removing it facilities. responsible as far as from underneath their Alderman Graham, therefore, notes that any responsibility of future liability relating to possible contamination to the river is up to the state and the City of Laurel. He is concerned that the solution to the problem that has existed in the past is now 96% of the city's problem. Jim Flisrand stated that the 4% is calculated on the volume that is currently anticipated to be going down the 60-inch storm sewer. The generated volume is determined by the area and a five year storm history. The amount in the underpass and the portion that may drain into the underpass from the state highway will only increase the volume by 4%. The 4% pertains only to permits and the treatment process because federal standards have changed to require all municipalities to treat all storm water. Jim commented regarding the concerns of contamination that Alderman Graham addressed in the last sentence of item #2 in the agreement. He stated if it is found that the sewer water drainage is contaminated because of some reason that is generated from the underpass structure or the highway system, it will be the responsibility of the state to resolve. Mr. Weed suggests that the city be more specific mn identifying a contamination discharge such as by an accidental discharge from a tanker accident. He can see, as it reads now, that if something should happen, regardless of the cause, the department might be held liable for it. Where as, what Jim is looking at, is some specific point of discharge that occurs at the underpass or discharge that flows or collects in the underpass. Jim Flisrand stated that with a normal rain storm or discharge of water, there is no chance of contamination. The city will have the same water flow going to the inlets as there is on city streets. If there is any unusual type of contamination caused by the underpass structure or on the highway system that drains to the underpass, the state would be responsible. Alderman Graham is concerned about the current discharge in the underpass. It is backup coming from a drain tile that is being pumped into the city's storm sewer drain. The discharge that is now going into the Yellowstone River is the responsibility of the state and Cenex. He feels by passing this resolution, the city is assuming 96% of the responsibility for any pollution from discharge that goes into the city's storm sewer and is dumped into the Yellowstone River. Mr. Weed stated the normal discharge that will be pumped out of the underpass is what collects from rain flow, city streets, or existing groundwater. Alderman Graham's concern is with the current groundwater that is backing up into the underpass from the existing drain. Pat Kimmet, Environmental Health and Safety Director from Cenex, wanted to clarify Cenex's involvement. He stated Cenex is interested in reducing the potential sources of contamination into the Yellowstone River south of the refinery. The drain tile line is not a Cenex line but it runs through Cenex's property. They are concerned with potential contamination into the line when it reaches Cenex's property line, south of the interstate. Cenex can be liable for Minutes of the City Council of Laurel Page 4 Council Meeting of November 7, 1995 Department of Transportation and route the line around the refinery, which they could do right at the refinery. Although the problem at the underpass is not a Cenex problem, they have chosen an agreement with the state. They feel they can solve two problems at the same time. They have agreed to split the cost with the Department of Transportation to eliminate any sources of contamination into the river south of the refinery and avoid any line from going through their property. The discharge at the underpass is not a contamination problem of CenexJs. There is no contamination coming from the refinery backup to the underpass. Alderman Graham was told that the existing line will be plugged, but he is interested in knowing if the water underneath the underpass has been tested to see what it does consist of because there is a residue left from the cars as they go down the street. In discussion, it was noted that residue is also left in other areas of town from cars passing through water, as a result of rain storms or such. The residue could mainly be from the washing off action of the cars going through the water. Alderman Graham asked if the water in the underpass has ever been tested? Weed stated it has been tested, but he doesnJt have the results. Mr. Alderman Graham stated he would be interested in any test results to see what the base of the water is that is coming from underneath the underpass. He notes that the underpass keeps filling up from underneath and it must be coming from somewhere. Pat Kimmet emphasized that the discharge cannot be coming from the refinery. Jim Flisrand had agreed with this. The engineer from Morrison & Maierle stated that the water from underneath the underpass is possibly only ground water because the water table is high. As cars go through this repeatedly~ contamination is gathered from the oil and dirt of the cars. Alderman Graham pointed out that the groundwater which is contaminated from whatever source, is coming up from underneath the underpass. He feels it is contaminated and needs to be gotten rid of. He is asking who is responsible to pay for treatment of this water when it gets dumped into the river~ if this is required in the future? Mr. Weed stated that the calculation is based on the 4% of volume flow. Alderman Graham said he disagrees with this. He said the treatment will need to be done for 100% of the discharge into the river. He is worried about the future financial responsibility to the city. It was pointed out that 96% of the discharge into the underpass is from the city streets. Alderman Graham stated he is concerned with the 96% of cost to treat 100% of the discharge into Yellowstone River. Jim Flisrand asked Mr. Weed if the state would commit to the responsibility of contaminated water that was generated at the underpass~ a state structure? It is felt by Jim and Morrison & Maierle that there will not be any additional contamination at the underpass than there is from the streets. The water isn't able to go anywhere at this timer therefore there is a washing action from underneath of the cars, debris and collection of various things that is seen now. The water has been tested and he didn't receive any bad remarks from it. The issue here is that if the contamination is found to originate at the underpass structure, would the state be responsible for it? Mr. Weed replied that he felt the state would agree with the 4% figure but he feels they may say the last sentence in the agreement is not specific enough. There may be too many different variables that come into it. They could end up paying for the entire situation~ where in reality it may not be all contributed to the underpass. Jim stated as the agreement is written, the 96% and 4% pertain only to permits or future treatment requirements. The contamination of storm waters is a separate issue. Jim replied the agreement could be rewritten. He said the intent was to pass the resolution at the council meeting as written. If there are changes from the state, it may have to be rewritten and another resolution would be passed. Question was asked, where will all the groundwater go after the drain Dive is Minutes of the City Council of Laurel Page 5 Council Meeting of November 7, 1995 Mr. Weed stated that the current plans are to seal the pipe underneath the underpass that connects the two drop inlets. Me said this underpass is similar to the 13th Street underpass condition in Billings. Underneath the underpass, there is a 5'thickness of concrete. It is the base support for the entire structure. The foundation is totally cracked and fractured. It is serving as a foundation for the structure but it still allows groundwater to come up through it. There will be a surface drop inlet for the surface road water to drain into. It will go into the sump which will collect the heavy materials. RESOLUTXON APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION: RESOLUTION NO. R95-47 A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF LAUREL AND THE MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Motion by Alderman Dickerson that Resolution No. R95-47 be passed and adopted, seconded by Alderman Ehrlick. Mr. Weed expressed that the state and Cenex are anxious to get the project started. They aren't able to do anything until they can get an agreement to tie into the 60-inch storm sewer drain. A vote was taken on the motion. Motion carried 6--1, with Alderman Graham voting Mayor Rodgers asked if the underpass will be completely shutdown during the construction? Mr. Weed stated it will be shutdown for a short period of time. They will then try to allow at least one lane of traffic so there wouldn't be any problem for emergency vehicles getting through. The traffic will be controlled with flagmen. Alderman Dickerson asked Mr. Weed if signs could be displayed on the existing traffic lights for traffic coming from the north, west, and east to notify them what the height of the underpass is. This would make drivers of large trucks aware of the underpass clearance before they turn off of Main Street and use it as a truck route. Signs may also be necessary on the south side of the underpass. It was suggested that Jim Flisrand write a letter of request to Mr. Parks, Traffic Engineer, in the district office to address the concerns. Jim also mentioned concerns with the traffic flow in the underpass and the possibility of a left hand turn lane. This may not be possible in meeting the street width requirements. Jim stated, on behalf of the council~ the city does need some input and expertise from the state regarding the intersection. Mr. Weed stated they would be glad to help the city with their concerns. He replied the traffic engineer has been viewing traffic, signal lights, and etc. There are several critical periods during a day with the light, such as 8:00 a.m., 5:00 p.m., and noon with high school traffic. The difficulty in the concern is the restricted room to get additional lanes for turning. FEDERAL DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING REQUIREMENTS: Jim Flisrand commented that as of January 1, 1996 the city will be required to participate in a drug and alcohol testing program. Jim is recommending that the city choose AdMed Ltd., a state wide program, to provide drug and alcohol testing services. The cost will be cheaper by choosing AdMed because of the large number of communities participating in the program, rather than doing it on our own. Another issue is, if the city does it by ourselves, there would be some liability due to the random selection. Random selection means if a person gets lucky or unlucky he can get picked every time. Then there is the concerns of whether it is a true random selection. The intent, from the state, is for a third party to do this for us. By using the third party, there is no liability. It addresses the federal program, as we are required to participate in and costs the city less. Alderman Minch asked Jim if the testing program includes all city employees? Jim replied it is for CDL's only. Employees that have CDL's and are required to drive for the city. Motion by Alderman Dickerson to accept the recommendation to ~o with AdMed Minutes of the City Council of Laurel Page 6 Council Meeting of November 7, 1995 Alderman Minch commented that only truck drivers have to be tested, however, there are the employees that run the water plant, sewer plant, and police officers driving cars that make judgements that can be impaired. He feels that only a few employees are getting picked on or chosen for this requirement. It is his feeling that all city employees should get tested and not just a certain group of employees. Alderman Dickerson asked Jim if it would be a problem for all employees to get tested? There are a lot of agencies and employers nowadays that do require the testing for all employees. Jim stated all supervisors of employees with CDL's will be required to attend schooling. They will get more answers to such questions at the workshop. The intent, at the federal level, was to protect the public from people driving trucks. The program is just for truck drivers and it is a federal mandate so there is no option at this time. A vote was taken on the motion. "No". Motion carried 6--1, with Alderman Minch voting COMMITTEE REPORTS: --Budget/Finance Comittee minutes of October 17, 1995 were presented and reviewed. Motion by Alderman Marshall of October 17, 1995, into the carried 7--0. to enter the Budget/Finance Committee record, seconded by Alderman Graham. minutes Motion --City Council Committee of the Whole minutes of October 17, 1995 were presented.

Alderman Dickerson stated that the City of Billings is selling wooden picnic tables for a reasonable price. The tables were used at the nightly Billings Rodeo. The Park Committee may wish to look into purchasing some tables. Motion by Alderwoman Kilpatrick to enter the Park Committee minutes of October 26, 1995, into the record, seconded by Alderman Easton. Motion carried 7--0. --Street and Alley Committee minutes of October 24, 1995 were presented and reviewed. Jim Flisrand presented drawings of four options for a driveway opening at 1257 Beartooth. Jerry Ready has requested a variance from the standard 20 foot driveway opening to an opening equal to his three stall garage opening. Option #1 shows a 24' opening with four foot taper which is in accordance with the city code. Option #2 would offer him a taper to give him a 32' opening which has been authorized in cases that warrant additional width. Option #3 shows a 41' opening with a 33' bottom opening. Option #4 is a 49' opening with a bottom opening being the same width as the existing concrete that the property owner has with taper beyond that point in both directions. Option #3 and #4 have not been authorized in any past requests. Jim's recommendation is option #2 which is consistent with the city procedure in the past. It is a variance over and above the currant code allowance. This option may not be ideal but it would be adequate. Jerry Ready stated that he has 218' in front of his property which is equivalent to four lots across the street from his property. He pointed out that it depends on what direction he is coming from when he enters his property whether or not he can turn in properly. If he comes from the north on Beartooth to enter his property, he cannot get into the first stall. He is hoping to get all of his vehicles off the street with an easy access. Jerry is requesting option #3. Jerry mentioned a house down the street that has a 37' opening with 16' approaches. He didn't think he would have a problem with his request. Me is the only person on that side of the block and is 100' from the intersection and about 96' from the bridge. There would be a 41' driveway on his side of the block. This would be equivalent to four lots across the street with 112' of driveway. Minutes of the City Council of Laurel Page 7 Council Meeting of November 7, 1995 driveways that would not be expected by drivers on the street. The intent is to control access, by making the openings onto the street as limited as possible so that a motorist coming down the street is not surprised. Jim noted recently there was a request on East 6th Street for an excessive opening. The city was able to give him a 24' bottom taper as option #2. It was centered with his garage and looked nice. Jim also mentioned that the driveway opening that Jerry was relating to is on 13th Street West. It is a new home and in looking through the reports there was no permit issued for the excessive driveway. It was a time between engineers and there is no permit or authorization by the city for that driveway. The taper is only 18" where 4' is required. It is a 37' opening and would not meet the city codes. Alderman Dickerson stated he doesn't see option #3, with a 41' opening, as possibility of backing three vehicles out of the garage at once but rather as a safety measure. Jerry would be able to enter his driveway more adequately and safely by using the 41' opening. Alderman Dickerson doesn't see it as a cosmetic concern to the city, because there is more than 200' front footage. It may be safer for Jerry to back out of his driveway, to where he can back straight out and initiate his turn and get out of the way instead of having to angle his vehicle. Now, he is restricted to enter and to leave one way. By allowing him a 41' driveway, it would allow him to enter and exit more safely and readily. Granted the city has not authorized this request in the past, he feels the city would not be setting a precedent because the city is looking at this particular piece of property as far as where it sits, what the frontage is, and what it is allowing. Alderman Easton feels option #3 would be more dangerous than option #2. In option #2, there would have to be a slight turn made when backing out in order to get to the approach. The bridge sets back at an angle, so in this option, the vehicle would be more visible to a motorist coming across the bridge rather than backing straight out of the driveway and being in a blind spot. In discussing option #2 or option #3, it was stated that it depends on what direction Jerry may be going when leaving his driveway that will be a concern as far as the safety factor. As far as convenience for him to enter his driveway, Jerry has requested a 41'opening shown in option #3. Motion by Alderman Dickerson to approve Jerry Ready's request to allow him option #3 for a 41' driveway opening, seconded by Alderman Ehrlick. A vote was taken on the motion. There being a division of the house a roll call vote was taken. Albert Ehrlick, John Minch, and Chuck Dickerson voted yes. Donna Kilpatrick, Gay Easton, Ron Marshall, and Bob Graham voted no. Motion defeated 4--3. Jim Flisrand, City Engineer, has approved and will allow option #g for a 32' driveway opening. Motion bv Alderman Graham to accept option #2 for a 32' driveway opening, seconded by Alderman Easton. Motion carried §-2, with Alderman Minch and Dickerson voting "No". In discussion, it was felt that the driveway on 13th Street that did not have the city's permission for a 37' driveway opening~ be left at this time. Jim mentioned that the driveway is in question on a plaintiff issue to the city and it may come up anyway. At the time a new driveway is constructed~ it may be put in properly. Alderman Dickerson noted to Jim that in the development of SID #110, a comment may have been made and misconstrued as far as driveway approaches. This may be an area to pay close attention to. Comments have been made regarding people who have existing driveways and are parking trailers on gravel next to it. The driveway approach will encompass the whole area where later on they will be able to put in a concrete pad and have the whole area to pull out of and use as a driveway. Jim has had conversation with Rick Leuthold that the maximum driveway size is a 24' opening. Motion by Alderman Ehrlick to enter the Street and Alley Committee of October 24, 1995, into the record, seconded by Alderman Dickerson. carried 7--0. minutes Motion Minutes of the City Council of Laurel Page 8 Council Meeting of November 7, 1995 COMMENTS FHOM THE AUDIENCE: Federal Drug and Alcohol Testing: Alderman Minch commented on item $8 on the agenda pertaining to federal drug and alcohol testing requirement. He feels that any city employee that is driving a city vehicle or is responsible for it should be included in the drug and alcohol testing requirement that was voted on. Mayor Rodgers stated he will have Jim Flisrand look further into the requirements. City Man for votin~ boundaries and wards: Alderman Dickerson commented it was brought to his attention by a person working the voting booths that the boundaries, as indicated on the city map in ward three, are outdated. The area of Fairview Lane, West Beartooth up to the ditch, and Twelfth Street Circle, are in precinct 22 for ward three and the rest of ward three is in precinct 5. He has suggested looking into the proposed boundaries for Laurel. The map shows the council adopted them in 1983. Don Hackmann stated that Jim Worthington has updated the map. The information on the boundaries is in the process of an update. Mayor Rodgers stated that an updated map will be checked into. Weeds in Entertainment Subdivision: Alderman Graham commented that the council should ask Cal Cumin about the growth of weeds in the Entertainment Subdivision regarding the current zoning or plat agreement. Cai stated that the subdivision is allowed to continue as an agricultural operation. Cal did agree that the owner needs to do something about the weeds. Mayor Rodgers commended the crew on the work done on South 5th and for all the consideration given in this project along with a street on Montana Avenue. These were areas that have been undeveloped and finally something has been accomplished. APPOINTMENTS: Mayor Rodgers appointed Dustin Ballantyne to the Laurel Police Reserve. Motion by Alderman Marshall to confirm the appointment of Dustin Ballantyne to the Laurel Police Reserve, seconded by Alderwoman Kilpatrick. Motion carried 7--0. Mayor Rodgers approved the recommendation by the Police Committee for the hiring of Susan Canape as temporary relief dispatcher. Motion by Alderman Marshall to approve the hiring of Susan Canape as temporary relief dispatcher, seconded by Alderman Graham. Motion carried 7--0.
