Ordinance Amending Chapter 62 of the City Code establishing Sec. 62.11-Access Management (Driveway
Ordinance) – Public Hearing and Adoption of Ordinance.
City staff is proposing to establish a set of driveway regulations that more explicitly describes the
requirements and limitations for driveways in various land uses. The proposed ordinance would apply to new
properties or applications for modifying existing driveways. Applications to replace driveways, as they are
currently, would be exempt from the requirements in the ordinance.
The proposed ordinance describes the requirements for materials and geometrics (size, slope, etc.) for
residential, commercial, and industrial-zoned properties. The ordinance also identifies an exemption process,
should a property owner wish to install a driveway that does not conform to the requirements in the proposed
ordinance.
Staff believes that the proposed ordinance would provide clear direction to property owners regarding
driveway installations. Limiting driveway width and spacing between driveways can improve safety by helping
to reduce vehicle/pedestrian interaction area and by reducing and limiting street access/conflict points, help
ensure good gutter drainage, reduce unnecessary storm water runoff, help ensure compliance with vegetative
cover ordinance requirements, and help maintain character of a neighborhood. Establishment of driveway
regulations are typical for many other communities in Minnesota. Staff can review requirements of other
communities as needed.
This item was presented to the Public Improvement/Transportation Committee at their meeting on January
25, 2022, with a recommendation from the Committee for approval of the driveway ordinance to the City
Council.

Consider approval of amendments to the Personnel Policy Manual
Councilmember Labat asked some clarifying questions on the amendments to the Personnel Policy Manual.
The Council Personnel Committee met on February 23, 2022, and unanimously recommended approval of the
amendments.
Chapter 4 of the Personnel Policies deal with several topics related to the Classification and Compensation
study report that the Council accepted at the February 22, 2022 meeting. Both technical and new language
revisions are recommended.
4.1 Technical amendments are being recommended. The City now utilizes the Decision Band Method of job
evaluation, the new language removes the former Hay pointing detail and inserts the new detail. Additionally,
the word “salary” is amended to “compensation” to alleviate employee confusion related to pay on a salary or
hourly basis.
4.2 All full-time employees who were grandfathered in on the fire department have now retired or resigned
from the fire department; therefore, this sentence is no longer needed.
4.4 Technical amendments are being recommended. The word “salary” is amended throughout this section
and replaced with more appropriate language.
4.5 Staff recommend new language that requires an extension of the probationary period when an employee
has received approval for a leave of absence during the probationary period. Staff also recommend language
that employees in their probationary periods do not have grievance rights over discipline or dismissal
decisions (this language is already included in the union contracts). Staff also recommend new language, as
recommended by the League of Minnesota Cities policy template, that provides that employees do not have a
vested interest or property right to continued City employment following completion of the probationary
period.
4.6 The first sentence states that employees are eligible for step increases upon receipt of a satisfactory
performance evaluation. In cases of substandard performance, and depending on the performance issue to be
resolved, the employee is typically placed on a performance improvement plan and given a designated
amount of time to achieve a satisfactory performance level. The recommended language clarifies that
employees are not eligible for a retroactive step increase in cases of substandard performance. If appropriate
and approved by the Director and City Administrator, an employee may become eligible for a step increase
upon achieving a satisfactory performance level.
4.7 Technical changes recommended. The amendments recommended do not reflect a process change.
Staff will continue to review the remaining chapters of the policy manual for legal compliance and other
necessary technical changes. Future Personnel Committee meetings will be scheduled as these are completed
and recommendations will be brought to the full Council for consideration.
If approved by the City Council, staff would proceed with updating the cover page (date of revision) and table
of contents (date of revision).

the Personnel Policy Manual. Voting Yea: Mayor Byrnes, Councilmember Schafer, Councilmember Meister,
Councilmember Labat. The motion Carried. 4-0
Consider Approval Resolution Authorizing Submission of DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant.
Councilmember Labat asked a clarifying question on the 50% of the project cost. It was further discussed that
the match doesn’t need to explicitly need to be a cash match but can be the value of labor and equipment.
On March 8, 2022, Council approved a proposal for the City to prepare and submit a Minnesota DNR Outdoor
Recreation Grant. This grant would provide financial assistance to provide inclusive play components at
Independence Park. The Resolution is required as part of the grant application. Project estimate is $60,000.
City match would be 50% of the project costs.

Comprehensive Plan Update by SRF
SRF Consulting was hired in March of 2021 to complete the City’s Comprehensive Plan update.
A 12-member community task force was created and staff from Economic Development and Community
Planning are assisting in the process.
SRF Consulting has completed a review and analysis of the city’s current plan and supporting documentation.
The SRF team was also on site in September to complete a community tour and stakeholder interviews with
city staff and partners.
SRF has also provided public participation opportunities with a community survey, focus groups, and open
house. There was 600+ participants in the survey and five focus groups with 58 participants. The data
collected from the public was used to shape the goal and focus areas for the plan.
Serving as the lead consultant on the project, Stephanie Falkers will provide a project update including an
overview of key themes and next steps in the process.
Authorize Staff to Acquire Proposals for YMCA Financial Feasibility and Future Recreation Feasibility Study
The City of Marshall in January approved a resolution requesting sales tax authorization for an aquatic center
and an indoor recreation facility. Since that time, current proposed legislation does not include an indoor
recreation facility due the sentiment that additional information would be needed to garner legislature and
public support.
Recently the city received a request from the Marshall Area YMCA to study financial viability and future
recreation needs as a community and YMCA.
Many comparable communities have developed master park plans which includes analyzing future recreation
needs as part of their plans. Further, in MN and nationwide, YMCAs have explored or have existing
arrangements with cities. (Attached is a summary sheet of a few arrangements—but not inclusive of existing
arrangements in the State of MN).
City Council Meeting March 22, 2022 Minutes

Eric Eben, Treasurer of the Marshall Area YMCA provided a financial analysis over the last three full years of
the Y’s operations.
Eben commented on the YMCA’s operational losses from COVID-19 over the last three years and into 2022. A
significant membership drop is tied to COVID-19 and has reduced the operational budget. Eben commented
that the facility is over 18 years old with maintenance needs that are not able to be fulfilled with the current
operations budget, which is the main reason the YMCA is looking for a partnership opportunity with the City of
Marshall.
There was further discussion by the Council and YMCA representatives.
Motion made by Councilmember Schafer, Seconded by Councilmember Meister to authorize Staff to Acquire
Proposals for YMCA Financial Feasibility and Future Recreation Feasibility Study. Voting Yea: Mayor Byrnes,
Councilmember Schafer, Councilmember Meister, Councilmember Labat. The motion Carried. 4-0

Consider Resolution Authorizing Execution of Mn/DOT-Aeronautics Grant Agreement No. 1049651 (S.P.
A4201-C3) for Federal Airport Expenses Reimbursement under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
The City of Marshall has received an Airport Rescue Grant (ARG) under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
The grant award of $59,000 was announced in June 2021, but City staff has been waiting for MnDOT to
distribute agency agreements to access the funds The purpose of the grant is to reimburse federally eligible
airport expenses. The City will be reimbursed 100% of federally eligible expenses not reimbursed by any other
source. The FAA will be conducting oversight and monitoring the ARG funding.
In order to receive reimbursements under the ARPA Program, MnDOT and the City need to execute the
attached Agency Agreement. The Agency Agreement augments the FAA grant and allows the Office of
Aeronautics to make payments under the FAA grant per the channeling arrangement.
The funds may be used by the airport for costs related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization,
janitorial services, combating the spread of pathogens at the airport, and debt service payments.
The federal ARPA funds are not being amended or tied to any other state or federal programs and as a result,
MnDOT’s role in the ARPA program will be very limited. Any remaining CARES and CRRSA funds should be
utilized first. MnDOT will not be making any eligibility determinations.
The City will receive $59,000 in grant funds for reimbursement of federally eligible airport expenses.
Motion made by Councilmember Schafer, Seconded by Councilmember Meister that the Council adopt
RESOLUTION NUMBER 22-22-044, which provides for the Resolution Authorizing Execution of MnDOT

Page 9 of 11
The flood control project is very important to the City of Marshall, and it is imperative that all adjacent
property owners understand where their properties end. According to the US Army Corps of Engineers
national levee database, roughly $1.26B dollars of property value is protected by our flood control project,
including at least 2,101 buildings. There are numerous locations along the flood control project properties
where adjacent property owners have planted trees, placed sheds, planted gardens, and parked trailers on
city property. Any installation on City property shall require City permission.
Staff is proposing to install posts at selected points to indicate property boundaries. The signs would be
installed on U-channel posts, approximately four feet off the ground. Signs are proposed to be 4” high by 6”
wide with a green background. Posts and signs would be installed by Street Department staff. For
visualization, templates of the sign are included in the Council packet.
At locations where the City has easement, as opposed to fee estate, staff would not recommend posts but
rather annual notifications to those property owners about the presence of the Flood Control easement.
The City requested layouts and quotes from two companies. The low quote was provided from M-R Sign Co.,
Inc. of Fergus Falls, Minnesota, in the amount of $1,931.80.
