Multi-Housing Recycling Program: The new manager of the Larpenteur Manor contacted Shirley Chenoweth seeking containers for recycling. Chenoweth informed the manager that the city would provide collection and that Larpenteur Manor should provide the bins and contact Supercycle for location guidelines. Supercycle had informed Shirley Chenoweth that several items were tagged as unacceptable for recycling" and were still on the property two weeks later. Vince Wright, Falcon Heights Public Works, will deliver brochures informing apartment dwellers of the proper items for pick-up. Hauler Service for the University/Grove Neighborhood: The University-Grove area has a contract with a single hauler. The recycling portion is part of Falcon Heights and Supercycle. If the present recycling and refuse collection changes in Falcon Heights; the area might like the opportunity of joining our program. Shirley Chenoweth contacted Supercycle to extend our contract. They responded by extending the contract by one month. Chenoweth with contact them again to explain that the city is looking for an extension longer than one month. Nancy Misra stated two goals of the Solid organized collection and waste abatement. contract: requesting volume-based pricing pricing for higher volumes by the smallest arbitrarily making the lowest price 50% of the best offer possible. haste Commission: integrated/ Concerns when negotiating a appears to provide subsidized amount; if a suggestion of the highest price we may forfeit Shirley Chenoweth will contact Ramsey County for our present abatement figures. The county's goal is 35% by 1993 based upon an estimate per household. Chenoweth will also find out if yard waste is included in the abatement figures. Yard waste abatement figures do come in from Woodlake MINUTES Solid Waste Commission 12 July 1990 page two DRAFT because they make a separate pickup. Many residents compost, leave clippings on the lawn or take yard waste to the composting sites--those amounts are impossible to calculate and apply toward our abatement goal: -- As an economic incentive to the residents, Laura Kuettel suggested the contracted hauler show a credit on the resident's bill if recycling is part of the pickup. -The resident will still pay for recycling in the monthly pickup price but a small rebate may be a positive inducement toward garbage separation. Shirley Chenoweth suggested we prepare recommendations for the city council and paint a picture of what is happening. This includes contract ideas, a meeting with the haulers, scheduling workshops. Shirley Chenoweth will be on vacation for the August meeting. A work session may need to be scheduled before the August 22 public hearing.

These items have been discussed previously with Carol Kriegler and yourself. These items have been reviewed by our office, and in some cases your staff for compliance with the Contract Documents and pricing. The following is a list and the recommendations regarding the submitted Change Order: Item Description Re uest Recomend. 1. Provide and install a security shock sensor to the kitchen opening 107B. This is in addition to the door contact sensor that is included in the Contract Documents. ADD $215.00 $215.00 2 . Additional work and materials for the installation of the exterior drinking fountain that was provided by the City of Falcon Heights. The vandal resistant drinking fountain required plumbing and masonry changes. An access panel was also required at the back of the unit for installation, future repairs and seasonal access. ADD $275.00 $275.00 3 . Provide labor and materials to bring the existing tennis court light switching into the building at the panel in Storage Room 103. This was not in the Contract Documents ADD $950.00 $950.00 4. Revise thickness of ceiling and wall plywood in Multi-Purpose Room 101 and Picnic Areas 109 and 110 from 3/8" that was indicated on the drawings to 5/8". Upon further review it was resolved to use the thicker plywood to better withstand abuse and vandalism. (This ceiling plywood was revised with change order #1 from a scored cedar plywood to standard fir for a deduct of -$405.00). ADD $800.00 $800.00 1 of 2 5 . Provide and install eight (8) bearing plates for Micro Lam beams supporting the vestibule low roof. The contractor was going to hang these beams from the wall, but upon review in the field it was determined to be better to pocket the beams in the masonry wall. This will minimize ceiling deflection as the ceiling is attached to these beams, bear more secure on the 4" masonry, and be more durable in this enclosed roof. ADD 293.00 $293.00 6. Provide and install bolts for four (4) composite Micro Lam beams. The bolts were required by the specific manufacturer that received the bid and we feel should have been included in their initial price. ADD 819.42 -0- 7 . Delete the Elkay ERHP-8 recessed mounted electric water cooler that was specified and sub- stitute with the Elkay EHF-8 surface mounted electric water cooler.

DESCRIPTION: TRAFFIC CONTROL IN FALCON WOODS NEIGHBORHOOD SUB?SITTED BY: _ Terry Maurer, Maier, Stewart Assoc. REVIEi~}ED BY: Jan Wiessner BC~LANATION/SiJl44ARY (attach additional sheets as necessary) At the last City Council meeting, concern was expressed about speeding traffic in the Falcon Woods neighborhood. Several suggestions were made to slow traffic. ATTACHMENT A. Maurer correspondence ACTION REQUESTED: Discuss options August 16, 1990 Fi l e No: 330000-00 CONSULTING ENGINEERS Maier Stewart & Associates Inc. Ms. Jan Wiessner Administrator City of Falcon Heights 2077 W. Larpenteur Avenue falcon Heights, MN 55113 RE: FALCON W00DS SIGNING Dear Ms. Wiessner: As requested, we have taken a further look at street signing in the Falcon Woods area. We understand that there are several separate issues which are addressed below: 1. SPEED As indicated in our August 7, 1990 carrespandenee the minimum speed limit in this area is 30 mph. There are no intersections in the area which we believe warrant stop sign installation. We would not recommend the use of stop signs to control speed because studies have shown unwarranted stop signs are often times ignored. This Creates a more unsafe condition, Warning signs indicating the curves in the area cauld be installed with advisory speed limits under 30 mph. However, these signs are unenforceable. Often, the worst offenders are residents from the _ immediate area. We believe warning signs would have limited effect on these drivers. 2. THROUGH TRAFFIC The layout of this area could lend itself to traffic attempting to getfromRoselawnAvenuetoLarpenteurAvenuenotrealizingitisnot possible, To improve this situation we would recommend the installation of warning signs at the two intersections with Roselawn Avenue. There are twa sign options; "DEAD END" or "NO OUTLET". Given the size of the area and the type of traffic which the signs would warn, we would recommend the "NO OUTLET" sign. 1959 SLOAN PLACE, S1; PAUL, MINNESOTA 55117 612-774-6021 Equal Opportunity Employor CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS AUGUST 16, 1994 PAGE Two 3. PEDESTRIAN CROSSING Another issue is whether or not a pedestrian crossing should be striped and signed at the Community Park entrance. Certainly a pedestrian crossing should not include a stop sign as a means to control speed for the reasons listed above. If there is sufficient pedestrian traffic to and from the park entrance, there are warning signs (diamond shaped black on yellow) which can be placed in advance and immediately adjacent to a striped crosswalk. We would question that there is sufficient pedestrian traffic to justify installation of a crossing. 4. TRAFFIC COUNTS we would conduct 48 hour traffic counts to determine total traffic volume in the area. This would not measure the speed of traffic but only the volume to determine if it is greater than should be expected from the number of residents in the area. The Gost of doing such an analysis of traffic volumes would be between 5400-$500. If you have any questions or would like us to proceed with traffic counts, please call.

SIGNED: City Administrator Date:. WITNESSED: Signature and Title Date: Community Development Application Project Purpose CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS Name of Community/Applicant -- ` Project #: 1 Idaho/Snelling Park is a 1.4 acre neighborhood park located on the south side of the City of Falcon Heights. The park consists of a flat, recessed grass area with a dominating .5 acre detention pond on the west side of the park along Snelling Avenue. Existing facilities include a hard-cover play surface, a deteriorating concrete block warming shelter, a baseball backstop and perimeter fencing. The park lacks play equip- ment, benches, signage and landscaping. The detention pond needs attention for safety and function as well as aesthetics. Our proposed Project #1. includes: (1~ Realign- ment and refencing of the East side of the retention pond with vinyl-clad safety fence; 2) grading and landscaping of the North end of the park; (3) construction of a concretE stairway to serve as an entrance at the North end of the park; (4) refencing and in- stallation of a gate at the North end of the park. These proposed improvements are considered the first and most basic steps in an effort to convert this park from a liability to an asset in the community. This action will greatly improve the safety and general aesthetics of the park. The fencing and landscaping will lessen the impact of the unsightly retention pond. The fencing will ensure safety during stormwater run-off periods. Grading of the North end will create a movable slope and thus an end to the current unkept conditions. Once these basic improvements are accomplished, the park could be further developed in coming years to include recreational equipment and facilities. The total cost of these proposed improvements is estimated at $10,000. Land- scaping, grading and stairway construction is estimated to be $6,500 whale-fencing improvements are projected at $3,500. The City of Falcon Heights proposes a l:l. match. The City wou?d like to undertake these improvements immediately. Project # 2 Our proposed Project #2 includes the 2nd stage in what we consider the develop- ment of Idaho/Snelling Park. This proposed project includes a reconfiguration of the existing "deadend" parking lot on the South side of the park at Iowa Avenue. The lct would be enlarged to facilitate off-street parking for seven vehicles, allow for proper vehicular turn-around and provide for safe drop-off capabilities. This parking area would consist of bituminous pavement, curb and gutter, a landscape center island buffer lighting and protective bollards. A park sign identifying the park would also be located within the center island for information and direction. The total cost of these proposed improvements is estimated at $22,000. The City of Falcon Heights pro- poses a 2:1 match (City:State). Proposed improvements could take place°in 1991. lA Community Development Application Project Purpose Name of Community/Applicant Project #: 3 This project consists of the final and "fun " stage of the development of Idaho/Snelling Park. The existing hard-cover play surface would be replaced with a 60' by55' sand area with perimeter fencing. Also installed in this area would be playstructures, swings and a slide. A 30' x 35' hard court area with a basketball goalwouldbelocatedadjacenttotheplayarea. This bituminous hard court would serveasabasketballandmulti-use game area. The existing concrete block warming shelter/park building would be removed and replaced with a new building relocated to acentrallocationwithintheplayareas. This 20' x 25' structure would serve as awarminghouseinthewinterandanenclosedshelterinthesummer. Directly to theEastoftheshelterwouldbeasmal_1 grassy picnic area with landscape plantings,picnic tables and grills. The remainder of the site would include a lighted hockeyr~.nk, a free skating area and a small ball field. The total cost of these improvements is estimated to be $60,000. The City pro-poses a 2:1 match (City:State). The City would like to undertake these improvementsin1992. Project #: 4 This project consists of the construction of a bicycle/pedestrian t 1 alongRoselawnandHamlineAvenuesinFalconHeights. The proposed trail wouldnsist ofa5' wide concrete pathway adjacent to but separated from these major thoroughfares.The proposed plan has two major objectives: (1) to facilitate enjoyable and safeaccesstoallparkfacilitieswithintheCityofFalconHeightsand (2) to connectthe-City with other municipal and regional bikeway trail systems.

TheRoselawnpathwayprovidesforacrucialconnectionbetweenthecitiesofRosevilleandFalconHeights, and the University of Minnesota's St. Paul Campus. These pro-posed pathways are considered the most critical connections in a proposed city-widebicycle/pedestrian trail plan. The total estimated cost of this project is estimated to be $60,000 ($30,000 ea.).The City is particularly eager and willing to undertake the Hamline Avenue path astheHamlineAvenueroadconstructionprojectisslatedtobegininthefallof1990.The City proposes a 2:1 match (City:State). - 3A y q' muniry Development Application # For Office Use Only Community Development Application Initial Project Questions Community/Applicant Name: r'; ty cif F'al Street/P.O.

A s~naty of each follows. Neighborhood Meeting A neighborhood meeting was held at City Hall to inform the public of the park and open space planning process. At the meeting, a presentation was made which identified the work performed to date, summarized the needs and demands analysis and identified ;~a~, zs and opportunities within each park. Cents were solicited from those in attendance pP,-ta; ~; *n to facility use, problems, perceived needs and future develogrnl7t. (~~ Meeting attendance was light to moderate. Citizen calQnerlts were helpful in verifying perceived trends, inadequacies and future improvements. Neighborhood deeds most pr~nislerltly mentioned at the meeting included the following: 1. Itle area the holding pond at Idaho/57ie11i~ needs to be upgraded and made safer. 2. Zhce play apparatus and basketball goals at Idaho/Shelling and the other parks need to be t>pgrdc~ed. 3 • Z21e wazming hcxlse at Idaho/Shelling is in need of regain and/or repla~rt. 4. Ill ge ~ c , the turf aI2a5 lOCat'.ed be~.oW this Skatln[~ arp~c a12 In terrible shape and are in need of r+~air/mailltenance. 5. More picnic facilities are needed at-C~amity Park. 4? 6. A general consensus was that restrocsns are needed at ~Lity Park. Closing th:e restr~ts at night was also reocxt¢ren3ed to limit any potential vandalism. _ 7. More trash receptacles, play equipment and benches .are needed the sys-tem. 8. Tar,r3sr~~ and Proper signage ]s lacking thrr~u9hout the system. 9. Lack of proper maintenance was cz~nsidered a major issue trout the park system, 10. ~e need for more nature areas, ~Lity gardens and a tree prr~gram was also mentioned. 11. A bike/pedestrian trail system linking all parks arxi tying into g trails was considered a top priority by those attending. 12. A wanniTx~ house was suggested for the Falcon Heights Elementary School site. 13. 'IY3e free skating rink at University Grave is used frequently although it was suggerst~ that the hockey boatT3s be resmved. Also, a skating shelter was rec~unerr3ed in lieu of a warming house structure. 14. Mast people in atterrlance felt the park building should be replaced at amity Park. It was r~urn~ded that it be vandal-resistant, include picnic facilities, contain no windows and be organized like a similar facility in Central Park, Roseville. Comity-Aide S~tvey A conmuirtity-wide survey of Falcon Heights' citizens was conduc~teci to assist in detarminir~ the adequacy of the current park and recreation system. Future needs, priorities and user preferences were tabulated. A stmunary of the survey follows. Survey Approach Every household in the City of Falcon Heights and Conmr~nwealth 7.'errace students was afforded an opportunity to participate in def;*~;ng future park and recreation needs and assessing the currnnt system. A survey form was di etribirted to each haisehold thr'O11C~1 the amity newsletter 11'1 April, 1989. A cony of the survey is included in the Appes-r3ix. The city tabulated the surveys and the consultant provided the analysis of cc~mnmity opinions. Respondent Characteri..=tics Of those hwseholds responding to the survey, 69 perrpnt were tinder the age of 44. Male and female breakdowns were virtually even with 50.3 percent of the household bei~ male and 49.7 percent female. 48 Forty-six percent of the respondents have lived in Falcon Heights 10 years or more.

Overall, the respondent breakdown is age distribution for Falcon Heights household ir~a~e, education and home survey. very ankh representative of the 1980 see Table 2). Questions concerning ownP~ship were not included in this Survey Results and Observations Surveys were distributed to 1,477 Falcon Heic~ts households. Of the. surveys distributed, 380 were returt~eci, of which 331 were tabulated for this study, for a rzSponse rate of 26 percent (refer to "Neighborhood Issues and Concerns" for breakdowns). Overall, the response was greater than anticipated. Zhe results are as follows: Fran the responses, it arn~~ar-~ that irY3ividual neic~iborhoods use their rye.spec.-five parks most, although Ocaummity Park and Falcon Heights School are used by most residents sometime during the year. Inadequate trails connecting the parks appear to limit residents in their usage of other neic~~borhood parks. Adjacent facilities such as Central Park and Cam Park are used considerably by Falcon Heic~ts residents because of their size and multiple facilities. Falcon Heights residents are active with an 84.9 percent involvement level in walking and jogging although trails within the city are lacking. Reading, biking and picnicking are all enjoyed by one-half of the respondents (Table 8). Over 67 percent of the respondents participate in organized athletic leagues. ~e City of Roseville, University of Minnesota and ~imha~l~are the major providers. Zess than 29 percent of the hau~~holds report belonging to a health, athletic or country club. This percentage is average considering the age profile of the city.

DESCRIPTION: PROPOSED CODE REVISION TO SECTION 9-2.04, SUBDIVISION 2(b) - LOT COVERAGE OF DETACHED ACCESSORY BUILDINGS. SUB?SITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Planner REVIES~ED BY: •Susan Hoyt, City Planner Tim Mal]_oy, Consulting Planner Planning Commission, 7/13/90 Y0~1.ANATION~SIJlQSARY (attach additional sheets as necessary) Strictly applying Section 9-2.04, Subdivision 2(b) of the Zoning Code Area. Detached accessory buildings shall not occupy more than 35°s of the area of a required rear yard. is creating problems for new garages in the Northome neighborhood. Applying the 35~ of the required rear yard to. these 50 foot ]_ots prohibits the construction of what are currently considered standard double or two and one Yhalf car garages. Therefore, the Planning Commission proposes revising the Code to: Area: Detached accessory bui]dings°shall not occupy more than 40 percent of the area of a required rear.-yard; and shall not exceed a total of 1,000 sq. ft. This will accommodate a 24x24 garage which is not standard. A Public Hearing was held on this proposed Code revision. No members of the public spoke on this proposal. ATTACHMENTS: Planner's report dated Ju].y l6, 1990 2. Planning Commission Minutes (excerpt) from July 23, 1990. 3. Ordinance 0-90-8 ACTION REQIIESTED: Adopt ordinance 0-90-8 I ATTACHMENT 1 DATE: July 16, 1990 MEMORANDIIM: TO: Planning Commission FROM: Susan Hoyt, City Planner RE: Proposed Code Revision to 9-2.04 (2)(b) - Lot Coverage of Detached Accessory Buildings. The proposed amendment to lot coverage of detached accessory structures reads: Area: Detached accessory buildings shall not occupy more than 35~ of the area of an existing rear yard, and shall not exceed a total of 1,000 sq. ft. The intent of this .revision was to allow homes in the Northome neighborhood to construct standard two and one-half car. garages approximately 528 to 576 sq. ft. in size on the 50 ft. wide lots attachment 3) . This neighborhood is particularly affected by this section of the code because most garages are detached accessory buildings along the alleys. However, after reviewing this proposed revision, I find that the use of the term "existing" rather than "required" rear yard may accommodate larger structures and greater lot coverage than is desirable. Applying the proposed code revision to an average existing rear year of 50 ft. measured from the rear of the residence to the rear property line (attachment 2), the following lot coverage would be allowed: 50 ft. wide x 50 ft. deep x .35 percentage = 875 sq, ft. of lot coverage This would mean a person could potentially build an accessory building(s) 25 ft. x 35 ft. or 875 sq. ft. on these lots. This is 58 percent of the required rear year. This substantially exceeds the lot coverage needed to build a 24 ft. x 24 ft. garage, which is a very large, but reasonably sized residential garage attachment 2, figure 1). Furthermore, allowing this large lot coverage may be undesirable for the following reasons: 1. The existing rear yard may be reduced in size due to an addition after the detached accessory structures are constructed. It is only the required rear year that is guaranteed free from residential additions (attachment 2, figure 1). 1 From Planning Commission Minutes of July 23,1990 Attachment 2 PE~B~IC -HARING -FOR- AN- ~iNfENDA4ENT--'PO--SECTION -9 2-. 04 E2 )- (B-) - OF -THE ZONING..... ~E3-DE- -3N--REGARD--TO -LOT--Cfl~TERAGE __f}F -DB'PA~--HE-H--A£C-E~SOR-y S'PRIFETiH2~~ Planner Hoyt stated that the proposed revision to section 9-2.04 2)(b) which reads, Area: Detached accessory buildings shall not occupy more than 35 percent of the area of the existing rear yard and shall be no more than 1,000 sq. f t." would allow too much area for detached accessory structure on smaller lots, and that the "existing" rear yard might be reduced after the accessory buildings were constructed. Therefore, it was suggested to return to the recommendation made to the commission last month which reads: Area: Detached accessory buildings shall not occupy more than 40 percent of the area of a required rear yard; and shall not exceed a total of 1,000 sq. ft." The public hearing was closed by Chairperson Boche. Discussion followed.

LARPENTEUR AVENUE FALCON HEIGHTS, MN 55113-5594 PHONE (612) 644.5050 FAX (612) 644.8675 August 15, 1990 The Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers City of Falcon Heights 2077 W. Larpenteur Ave. Falcon Heights, MN 55113 Dear Mayor Baldwin and City Councilmembers: The following City Administrator's proposed budget for 1991 has been prepared for your consideration. The proposed annual budget is the financial blueprint for City operations and programs scheduled for completion between Jan. 1, 1991 and Dec. 31, 1991. The budget reflects our goal of remaining fiscally conservative and considerate of taxpayer concerns and interests. The Falcon Heights City Budget consists of a General Operating Fund, five Special Revenue Funds, two Enterprise Funds and four Capital Improvement Funds. Budget Preparation Process The 1991 budget process started in the winter with general budget parameters for cities established by the State legislature. The State legislature set a 3~ cap on the tax levy and local government aid, while decreasing our local government aid allotment by 6~. Staff members were involved in recommending budget changes in their functional areas during the summer of 1990. The proposed budget was consolidated by City Accountant, Tom Kelly and myself for Council review. The next steps are for the City Council to review the proposed budget, certify a preliminary budget to Ramsey County by September 1st, receive public input through a public hearing process, and finalize the budget by December 28, 1991. The first budget workshop has been scheduled for August 18 at 8:00 A.M. The proposed comprehensive city budget for all funds is $1,897,575. The proposed 1991 general fund budget is $1,093,356. This is a zero increase operating budget. The proposed property taxes for this budget LJ HOME OF THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR AND THE U OF M INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPERiffiUIYL3~ Page 2 August 15, 1990 are $623,091, a 4$ increase. The 1991 budget was prepared to balance without cutting services, despite an anticipated decrease in intergovern- mental revenues in excess of 15$. This was done by increasing fees and charges, tightening operating budgets and transferring interest revenues among funds. I've attached a list of policy issues and significant changes for dis- cussion at the budget workshops. Don't hesitate to call if you have any questions or suggestions prior to the first workshop. Respectfully submitted, Jan R. Wiessner City Administrator JW:PP Attachment B BUDGET POLICY SUMMARIES I. General Fund Budget A. Revenue Change Recommendations 1. Fees and Charges a. Pet Licenses: The City currently licenses dogs for life at a cost of $10.00. RECOMMIIJD: Licensing dogs and cats every two years to correspond with rabies vaccinations. The fee would still be $10.00. b. Planning Fees: Susan Hoyt, staff planner, has reviewed the planning fees and recommends the folJ_owing changes: a. Permitted Accessory Use - currently $20.00. This is reasonable. b. Conditional Use Permit - currently $20.00. This planning request is fairly expensive to carry out. 1. Research request, check site, prepare report, present to PC/CC Staff time = 3-4 hours (Planner's secretary) 2. Mailed notices to property owners living within 350 ft. Staff time = 2 hours Stamps/notices = $10.00 3. Notice published in FOCUS = $10.00 plus fax use 4. Recording of the C.U.P., if approved is covered by $30.00 fee enacted in 1989.

Answer calls from neighbors (usually one) RECOMMEND• $50 00 application fee. These are consistent with what other citieG charge. c. Lauderdale Fire - RECOMMEND: A 5~ increase in the Lauderdale contract. d. Solid Waste Fees: This fee would replace the discontinued recycling grant program and is calculated as follows: Solid Waste Budget Less Spring clean-up cost Total. Expense: Divided by 4 quarters Divided by Users Charge per Quarter: 48,828.00 5,700.00 43,128.00 4 10,782.00 1,696.00 6.35 RECOMMEND NEW CHARGE° $6 35 ~r 4 garter/hoi~seho_ld to be billed with sewer bills. e. Interest: The general fund interest earnings for 1991 is $26,000 based on their fund balance. Staff recommends balancing the budget by transferring 50,969 from the Capital Improvement Funds' interest earnings. The Capita]. Improvement Funds are now self supporting and have adequate fund balances to sustain this transfer. B. Expenditure Change Recommendations a. PersonneJ_ 1. Compensation: Staff recommends a 7~ overall. increase with 4~ in system adjustments and 3% in merit. Most municipalities are recommending 4~ salary increases for 1991. 2. Benefit Package: Ramsey County projects the following increases: Group Health 18~ PHP 12~ Delta Dental 1.0~5 RECOMMEND: Increase the City paid employee monthly benefit from $300 to $350. 3. Drill Compensation: The. Fire Department requests an increase from $6.25 per drill to $8.00. Drill compensation has not been changed for severa_1 years. An increase in the fire pay rate is not being recommended. (See Page 9) B. Park & Recreation Administration 1. The staff recommends an operating transfer of $8,865 to the Park ~ Recreation program fund to help fund specia]_ events and ice rinks. 2. Non-resident Fees: In the past, the City has reimbursed residents for non-resident fees paid to Roseville for recreation programs not. offered by Falcon Heights. RECOMMEND: Elimination of paying non-resident fees. This would save the City approximately $]_,600. C. Contingency II. Park and Recreation Program Fund A. Revenues 1. Non-Resident Fees: Carol Kriegler estimates 50~ of our participants are non-residents. RECOMMEND:. New charge of $4.00/non-resident. (same as Roseville): 600 revenue has been budgeted as new revenue. B. Expenditures 2. Special Events: This is a new line item which is for such items as the Ice Cream Social, family activities and other special events. III. Water Fund A. Expenditures 1. New this year is $4,000 for engineering services. This is for a 509 Water Management Study which is required by the Metropo]_itan Council. 6 IV. Street Lighting Fund - New (also see Page 12) The purpose of this fund is to pay for the electrical cost of City streetlights and possible replacement with decorative lights. a. Revenue: User Fees billed on sewer bills. This caould be calculated as follows: Street Light Expense: $30,000 Divided by 4 quarters: 4 7,500 Divided by number of househoJ.ds and businesses: 2,094 Per Quarter: $3.58 RECOMMEND: NEW CHARGE OF $3.60 (Note: This does not include provision on ornamental street lights). V. Sanitary Sewer a. Revenue: Sewer rates are determined by sewer expenses. The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission is 87% of our operating expense. They have increased our fees 20.38 for '91. We need to generate at J.east $613,000 in revenue to cover our costs.
