A REQUEST FROM MR. LOUIS PAYIN FOR A VARIANCE FROM SECTION 9-2 .0 4 (1) (c ) OF THE ZONING CODE TO CONSTRUCT A GARAGE- AT 1463 WEST CALIFORNIA. City Planner Hoyt briefed the commission on Mr. Payin's re uest forqa5footvariancefromthecornersideyardsetbackof15feetto construct a new garage 10 feet from the corner sideyard propertyline. This will replace a deteriorating existing garage that is6feetfromthecornersideyardpropertyline. Planner Hoytexplainedthatuniquehardshipsforgrantingthisvarianceare 1) the garage access cannot be located 15 feet back from the corner side property line because of a large maple tree behind the garage;2) the garage access cannot be located on the west side of the property because of the large maple tree behind the existinggarage; and 3) the garage access cannot be located onto the alleybecauseofanN.S.P. gasline release valve where the driveway wouldlocated. She also explained that the large tree and the gaslinereleasevalvemetthefollowingconditionsforgrantingavariance,15.03 (4) (c) for the enjoyment of the property and 15.03 (4) (g)unique characteristics of the site. Mr. Payin, property owner of 1463 California, said the garage wouldbe22feetx22feet, and that both the exterior paint and roofdesignwouldmatchthehouse. The commission voted unanimously tograntthevariancebecauseoftheconditionsstatedabove. A REQUEST-FOR A CHANGE FROM "ONE HOUR PARKING 8 A.M. TO 4 P.M.EXCEPT WEEKENDS-AND HOLIDAYS" TO "TWO HOUR PARKING $ A.M. TO 4-P.M.EXCEPT WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS" ALONG FOLWELL AVENUE EAST-OF COFFMAN 1 UNTIL FOWELL AVENUE TURN$-SOUTH TOWARD HOYT. The Roseville police requested this parking change to maintain consistency in parking regulations within the University Grove neighborhood and, thus, make them easier to enforce. This is a timely request because the public works department plans to replace illegible signs in this neighborhood this year. Planner Hoyt stated residents were asked to contact her if they disapproved of this change; no one contacted her. The commission unanimously approved of the change in parking restrictions. INTRODUCTION OF THE DRAFT OF THE CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS PARKING POLICY. Commissioner Barry thanked Finegan, Daykin, and Planner Hoyt for their time and hard work in drafting this policy. He stated the committee was trying to establish a parking policy that would be consistent throughout the City, but still be fairly flexible to meet individual parking situations. The residential parking permit section of the draft was discussed. Chairperson Boche stated that this is the one area of the policy which should have very rigid rules because if there should be problems, it would most likely be in this section. Councilman Paul Ciernia suggested it be emphasized that all avenues of residential parking have been explored and the residential parking permit is ~~~ the last resort. He also asked that the fact that Hollywood Court ~_.,~.~,<~-Jresidentshadermitsdurinthestatea_ir be added. Chairperson ~-~~/ Boche suggested these two changes a put into the policy and it be brought back to the next meeting. ~L~/~,~, UPDATE- ON THE- COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS ~~~~~ Planner Hoyt reported the comprehensive planning process is moving ~,~`,,.,~~~.; along rapidly. She stated Fred Hoisington, consultant, has asked~a'~~~,?Jtobegivenapproximately11/2 hour at the August 27 planning ~~~~; commission meeting to present his preliminary findings and discuss the strategy for neighborhood meetings. He would like one neighborhood meeting in September and one in October with invitations and postcards being sent out and a notice placed in FOCUS. After discussion by the Commission, it was decided the meeting would be held on Monday evening, September 24 following the planning commission meeting. The planning commission meeting time would be changed to start at 7 p.m. with the neighborhood meeting to commence at 8 p.m. Planner Hoyt will discuss an October date with Consultant Hoisington. A-REQUEST FORA VARIANCE FROM SECTION 9-4.01 (4)-{c) OF THE ZONING CODE,- THE FRONTYARD--SETBACK, AND SECTION 9-2.04 --(1} (c) OF THE ZONING-CODE; THE INTER3~R SIDEYARD SETBACK, BY MR. WES TENNYSON AT 1935 SUMMER BTREET-TO CONSTRUCT AN ADDITION TO A GARAGE. 2 Mr. Tennyson proposes to construct an addition to a single car garage to make it into a double garage. In order to do so, avarianceof6feetinthefrontyardsetbackrequirementof30feet is necessary and a second variance of 5 inches in the sideyardsetbackrequirementisalsonecessary. Planner Hoyt briefed the commission on her discussions with Mr. Tennyson's son, Rob, and her memorandum regarding his requeststatingthetrapezoidalshapeofthelotmakesitdifficultto construct a garage without infringing on the interior sideyard setback. The planner felt the request for the sideyard variance makes sense due to the angle of the line. However, she felt the 6 foot variance from the 30 foot frontyard setback may set a precedent for reducing frontyard requirements throughout the neighborhood and city. Mr. Rob Tennyson presented a second plan (attachment 1) before the commission. This plan required a 2 foot 8 inch variance in the frontyard and a 2 foot 2 inch variance in the interior sideyardsetback. This plan significantly minimized the required variance in the frontyard. After a lengthy discussion, where the commission reviewed the alternatives, as well as the alternative of increasing the sideyardvarianceevenmore, which Mr. Rob Tennyson and Planner Hoyt said would bring the structure almost to the property line and too close to the neighboring dwelling for fire safety. Commissioner BarrymovedtoapprovethevariancesrequestedforPlanBduetothe unique trapezoidal shape of the lot, which is criteria 15.03 (4) (g)of the conditions for granting a variance (attachment 2). The motion was unanimously accepted. PUBLIC HEARING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 9-2.04(2)(B) OF THE ZONING- CODE- IN REGARD TO LOT COVERAGE OF DETACHED AC£ESSORY STRUCTURES 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. ft." 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." 3 The public hearing was closed by Chairperson Boche. Discussion followed. A motion was made and unanimously passed to accept section 9-2.04 (2) (c) which reads: Area: Detached accessory buildings shall not occupy more that 40 percent of the area of a required rear yard; and shall not exceed a total of 1,000 sq. ft." ICE CREAM SOCIAL Chairperson Boche thanked commissioners for volunteering to serve at the ice cream social Thursday, July 26, 1990. BULLSEYE UPDATE Planner Hoyt reported that Bullseye Shopping Center is going through foreclosure proceedings. The real estate property management agent anticipates leasing to a liquor store tenant, and that court action will soon lead to the formal moving of Bullseye Golf, Yogurt and the Silver Screen. OTHER The condition of the City boulevards was discussed.

ACiIOI~ REQUESTED: B Minutes of the Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting 7:00 P.M., Monday, July 9, 1990 Members present: Connie Lasser, Linda McLoon, Deborah Weiland, Carol Huso, Jeff Johnson, Lloyd Jacobson, Sam Jacobs, Council Liason, Carol Kriegler, Park Director Members absent: Jyneen Thatcher, Jean Suppes, Steve Schugel 1. Central Announcements and Updates Carol said that the Torch Run went well, although it ran 1 hour late. A good turn out was seen along the route. Word has it that Jeff Johnson did a great impersonation of Jim Scheibel. Carol passed photos of the run and of the demolition of the "torched" park building and great photos of the new building. The June 14 Fire Saftey program went very well with 35 people attending. Terry Iverson did a great job. 2. Park Building Update The park building is on time or early and due to be done on July 20. The concrete skirtings are in, paths will go in next. The amenities have been ordered as follows: picnic tables, park benches, trash receptacles, grills and drinking fountain. All should be here in time for the ice cream social except the park benches. Tim Heil is still interested in volunteering his expertise to stain the exterior of the building. Carol will discretely check him out. Jaycees are interested in a service donation, especially in helping put things together, etc. They have some money, maybe for a sign and will let us know. Sam indicated that the Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions Club was also interested in a service donation (putting things together, etc) and would donate $1,000 for a sign providing that the group got recognition for their donation. Everyone agreed in principle with the need for some sort of visual recognition, the details of which would be worked out. We are still waiting to hear from the other groups. 3. Garment Sale Carol indicated that a possible fundraiser could be the sale of t-shirts and sweatshirts that are mistakes and overstock from the company she got the shirts from this summer, Garment Graphics. The shirts this year were a great price and Carol had them in 1 1/2 weeks. We all agreed that it was worth pursuing. Carol H. indicated that if we were to do well it needs to be held in August for the before school market. Carol K. will follow up. 4. Ice Cream Social The date is set for Thursday, July 26. Due to the new building we expect a bigger crowd than usual. There will be soccer and t-ball and near ball games from 5-7. There will be a building dedication at 7 with the mayor (governor?, McGuire?, Marty?) and then the Splatter Sisters will perform from 7:15-8:15. There will be an ad in the city newsletter and flyers will be sent home with all the kids in summer programs. Lloyd will tell the seniors they can bring cakes to City Hall any time that day, and from 3-5 directly to the Park Building. We determined we need 8 people helping at all times, preferably with one or more Parks and Rec people at each time. Two each to: cut cake, sell tickets, serve beverages, serve ice cream and cake. We agreed to go with ice cream cups again and save a lot of mess and clean up. Carol K. will make lemonade instead of orange drink. It was a hit last year. Carol K asked if we could bring spatulas, knives etc. She would get everything else.

Team pictures will be done by Sport Star photography, a first this year. We'll see how it goes. This doesn't cost us anything, nor does it produce any revenue for us. Carol K. asked for suggestions for Dog Days of August classes in August, to be held at the park building. 6. Idaho-Snelling Park Improvements With the mess up at the community parks and our need to pursue money,. this was put on hold until August. Carol K. kept the request for funds. Scott Midness suggested a different tvoe of fencing that would be less of a wall, but still keep kids out. It is called prison mesh, is vinyl 6. Idaho-Snelling, cont'd coated and has small mesh to keep kids from climbing the fence. Carol K. is getting a price quotation on it. 7. Cable Carol K. is still looking for volunteers to videotape games and the ice cream social. 8.

SUB?iITTED BY: Roseville Police Department Public Works Department REVIE~FED BY: •Susan Hoyt, City Planner Planning Commission 7 B~LANATION/SZJIQSARY (attach additional sheets as necessary) In order to maintain consistency in parkingl!regulations and make them easier to enforce, the Roseville Polio requested that parking restrictions be changed from "one-hour parking 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. except week ends and holidays" to "two hour parking except week ends and holidays" along Folwell Avenue east of Coffman until Folwell turns south toward Hoyt. This is a timely request since the public works department plans to replace illegible signs in the University Grove neighborhood this year. Surveying the parking situation in the area, there does not appear to by any difference in the effect of the two different parking restrictions. Furthermore, in May the president of the University Grove Homeowners Association, Norman Kerr, notified homeowners along Folwell, and suggested they call or write the city planner with comments or questions about the proposal. To date, no homeowners have contacted the city regarding this matter. The desire to make parking restrictions more consistent throughout the city is one of the goals in the draft parking policy prepared by the parking committee.

Mr. Payin's existing garage accesses onto the side street, Pascal, and is 6 ft. from the corner side property line. He proposes to construct his new garage 10 feet from the corner sideyard property line. The following unique hardships were given regarding the need for a variance: 1. The garage access cannot be located 15 ft. back from the corner side property line because of the large maple tree behind the garage which the property owner does not want to sacrifice (attachment 2). 2. The garage access cannot be located on .the west side of the property because of a large maple tree behind the existing garage which the property owner does not want to sacrifice. attachment 2) .

FROM SECTION 9-4.01 4) (c), THE FRONTYARD SETBACK REQUIREMENT, AND 9-2.04 (1) (c), THE INTERIOR SIDEYARD SETBACK REQUIREMENT, OF THE ZONING CODE IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT AN ADDITION TO A GARAGE. SUBMITTED BY• Mr. Wes Tennyson, property owner of 1935 Summer St. Susan Hoyt, City Planner RF9IE~ED BY: Planning Commission PLANATION/SUMlSARY (attach additional sheets as necessary): Mr. Tennyson proposes to construct an addition to a single car garage to make it into a double garage. In order to do so according to the attached plans (Attachment 1), a variance of 6 feet in the frontyard setback requirement of 30 feet is necessary Section 9-4.01 (4)(c). A second variance of 5 inches in the sideyard setback re- quirement is also necessary (Section 9-2.04 (1)(c). Mr. Tennyson's son explained the garage addition is necessary because they have four cars associated with the house and parking is a problem. Also, the pie-shaped configuration of the lot makes it difficult ~o~construct a garage without infringing on the interior sideyard setback. Mr. Tennyson submitted a signed form from the neighbors indicating they had no objections to the proposed plans. Letters to neighbors were also sent from the City. The planner reviewed the request applying the standards for granting a variance, Section 9-15.03 (4) of the zoning code. In brief, the request for the sideyard variance makes sense due to the angle of the pie-shape lot line (criteria g). However, the variance from the frontyard setback may set a precedent for reducing frontyard requirements throughout the neighborhood and city. In the long run, this may reduce property values (criteria b) since frontyard setbacks visually add to the open space and aesthetic consistency in the city. Furthermore, the addition to the garage in this configuration does not seem critical to the property owner's enjoyment of the property. (criteria c).

From those twelve, the following five firms were selected to interview with Jerry Wallin, Jan Wiessner and Tom Kelly. Estimated First Firm Year Cost 1. George M. Hansen Co. $7,340.00 2. Voto, Tautges, Redpath 13,975.00 3. KPMG Peat Marwick _11,400.00 4. Charles Bailly & Company 8,950.00 5. Kern, DeWenter, Viere 7,000.00 From these interviews, two firms were judged to be superior---Voto, Tautges, Redpath and Kern, DeWenter & Viere. Both firms are more than adequate to audit the Cityfinancialrecords. However, I am recommending the appointment of Kern, DeWenter, Viere for the following reasons: 1. Management letters gave recommendations and possible ways to implement any change. (see attachment B) 2. Pre-audit work is done with emphasis given to any concerns staff or Council may have. (Example--State balancing budgets with City excess reserves). 3. I feel more comfortable with them. They are a small firm from St. Cloud and seemed much more relaxed during the interviews and seemed more geared to a small town atmosphere. 4. Price - I don't feel the City would receive much more in service from Voto,Tautges, Redpath to warrant the additional $6,000.00. ACTION REQUESTED: Select Kern, DeWenter, Viere as the City's audit firm for the years 1990, 1991 and 1992. (See attachment C, Audit Proposal).

The following criteria will be used to evaluate the proposals: a. Municipal audit experience b. References c. Qualifications of assigned personnel d.

Office c,f the State Auditor 525 Park Street St. Paul, MN. 55103 ATTACHMENT B CITY OF MINNESOTA County MEMORANDUM ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL March 19, 1990 City Council City of Minnesota The accompanying memorandum includes suggestions for improvement of accounting procedures and internal accounting control measures that came to our attention as a result of our audit of the financial statements of the City of , Minnesota, for the year ended December 31, 1989. The matters discussed herein were considered by us during our audit and they do not modify the opinion expressed in our auditors' report dated March 19, 1990, on such financial statements. In accordance with generally accepted auditing and evaluation of existing internal accounting ing a basis for reliance thereon in determining the audit tests applied in connection with our statements. While certain matters which came t are presented in the accompanying memorandum fo such a review was not designed for the purpose and would not necessarily disclose all weakness standards, we performed a review controls for the purpose of provid- the nature, timing and extent of audit of the City's 1989 financial 0 our attention during the review r the consideration of management, of making detailed recommendations es in the existing system. The accompanying memorandum also includes comments and suggestions with respect to other financial and administrative matters which came to our attention during the course of our audit of the financial statements. These matters are offered as constructive suggestions for the consideration of management as part of the ongo- ing process of modifying and improving accounting control and other financial and administrative practices and procedures. Again, we would like to express our appreciation for the cooperation extended to us by the employees and officers of the City during our audit. KERN, DEWENTER, VIERE, LTD. 2 INDEBTEDNESS 7 CITY OF Bond and Other Indebtedness Dollars 7 Millions 6 5 4 3 2 1 YEAR The above graph provides a pictorial view of the changes in total indebtedness of the City of from December, 1984 through December, 1989. PLANNING During the past two years, the City has namely, the and t the issuance of large amounts of debt. planning by the City to ensure adequate adherence to budgets to control overall embarked upon two large capital projects, he which have necessitated This rapid expansion requires careful cash flows to meet future expenditures and expenditures. We recommend the City Coordinator and Financial Administrator prepare monthly cash flow projections for a one year period to assist in monitoring budgets and cash flow requirements. In addition, this will assist in investment planning as amounts available in excess of anticipated expenditures can be earmarked for short-term or long-term investments, as appropriate. These cash flow projectionsshouldincludeanticipatedrevenuesfromcountysettlementsandothersources along with anticipated expenditures for capital projects, bond principal and interest, etc. As projections are based upon estimates of future results, theyshouldbeupdatedperiodicallytoreflectthetimingofactualresults. These projections could then be discussed at Council meetings so as to continuallyupdatetheCouncilontheprogressofvariouscapitalprojects. 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 INSURANCE COVERAGE Due to increased capital expenditures by the City, there has been an overall increase in cash and investment balances needed to fund the projects in addition to an overall increase in city assets. Currently, the City has a Clerk-Treasurer Bond in the amount of $ 1,000 and your property coverage has not been updated to reflect recent asset additions. We recommend the City increase the insurance coverage limit to protect large cash and investments balances. This should include the Clerk-Treasurer as well as oth- ers who may have access to City funds. In addition, all insurance coverages should be updated annually to ensure sufficient coverage in the event of an unex- pected loss. ESTABLISH "CHECK RUN" DATES During the 1989 audit, we noted the City prepares checks daily, as time permits. We also noted that vendor invoices are filed alphabetically, but are not filed by due date. Therefore, the City Clerk must go through all of the invoices each day and pick out those that are due. We recommend the City establish "check run" dates, possibly one at the middle of the month and one at the end of the month, at which time all invoices which are then due would be paid. We also recommend that invoices be filed by due date. We believe the benefits of implementing these two suggestions would include reducing clerical time and reducing the City Clerk's time for printing checks. ESTABLISH MONTHLY PROCEDURES During our review of the accounting system, we noted there were no established guidelines or timetables for completing the month-end financial statements. This has resulted in inconsistent financial statements which are often not timely. Therefore, closing procedures need to be established, similar to year-end closing procedures. In order to facilitate and streamline the accumulation of data for the required statements and closings, we recommend the following be established: Cutoff Procedures: Accruals should be established consistent with adjustments made at year end. Timetable: The timetable should delegate responsibility for developing the nec- essary information and schedules for the statements to specific individuals and establish deadlines for those schedules. Pro Forma: Pro formas of the required schedules and statements should be devel- oped to reduce the time required each month. These types of procedures and documentation should prevent unnecessary delays and errors when preparing your statements for the City Council. PREPARE A WRITTEN POLCIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL The City of has experienced substantial growth during the past few years which has placed larger accounting time requirements on the City's account- ing staff. To assist in managing this growth, we recommend the City develop plans to prepare a written manual of accounting policies and procedures. This manual should be approved in the minutes by the City Council, reviewed at least annuallyanddistributedtoallaccountingpersonnel. Examples of items to include in the manual are as follows: Organizational charts and job responsibilities; Chart of accounts with account descriptions; Accounting instructions for the preparation of financial statements; Capitalization policy for fixed assets of your enterprise funds;. The depreciation rates to be used for each type of property and equipment of your enterprise funds; Method of allocating interest earned on investments to individual funds; Physical safeguarding of critical accounting records; Method of charging other funds or departments with payroll costs of shared employees; Accounting instructions for the retention of accounting records; Records and/or specimen signatures of all persons authorized to approve signifi-cant transactions and limits of authorization. We recommend the City document the policies and procedures described above. The major benefits of documentation would be: To supplement on-the-job training procedures; To eliminate the confusion and inefficiencies sometimes accompanying changes in personnel. INCLUDE SUPERVISORY REVIEW PROCEDURES AS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL PROCEDURES Supervisory controls primarily include reviews of documents, reports, adjustments,entries and reconciliations. The City's procedures for supervisory review are an important part of its internal control. Supervisory review and controls providethemeansofindentifyingandcorrectingotherweaknesses. When employees are under pressure, basic controls and disciplines may be cut short or bypassed.Without adequate supervision, the accounting system and control operations run the risk of becoming erratic and undependable. We recommend the City review their internal control procedures and ensure that current or proposed procedures include adequate supervisory review of the basic internal controls operating within the system. These supervisory controls should include review and approval of all significant accounting transactions before they are processed and the review of all forms of reconciliations between subsidiaryledgersandcontrolaccountsbeforethebooksareclosedeachperiod.

OUR AUDIT APPROACH Our audit approach provides continuous involvement throughout the year with you,which we have summarized in four phases. Briefly, the phases are: Phase One - Initial Planning - During this phase, we will work with your personnel to become familiar with all facets of the operations. We will interview your keypeopleandassesstheexternalandinternalenvironmentalconditionsthatmayinfluenceourauditscope. We will obtain your financial reports and perform overall analytical review procedures. Based on this work, Dave will prepare an initial audit plan and review it with the City Accountant. Phase Two - Program Development - We will begin our identification of specificcontrolobjectivesbydocumentingmajorfinancialreportingsystems. We will also perform certain detailed analytical review procedures as well as other analyses.Based on these procedures, we will determine the extent of audit testing required and prepare our detailed audit program. Copies of all flowcharts and other systemdocumentationthatwedevelopwillbeprovidedtotheadministrationfortheir use. This work will be performed by Dave and Jennifer. 7 Phase Three - Program Execution - During this phase, we will carry out our compli- ance testing to determine if your systems and controls are functioning as planned. This phase will also include our auditing of year-end account balances. This work • will be performed by Loren, Dave and Jennifer. Phase Four - Post Audit Critique - After the completion of the audit, we will pre- pare a preliminary draft of the audit report, management letter and other reports and will meet with the City Administrator and City Accountant to review them. We will then prepare the final drafts and present them to the City Council. We will also make preliminary plans for the next year. The preliminary plans will include periodic visits during the year with you to ensure that we are kept current on developments and changes that may affect financial operations. Phases One through Three contemplate use of analytical review and other advanced audit techniques. To maximize our efficiency and to minimize professional fees, we plan to coordinate our work with that of your personnel. Our comprehensive audit planning and coordination with your staff would begin immediately after our appointment as your auditors. Our experience has shown that careful planning and coordination result in optimum efficiency. Scheduling Interim and Year-End Work - Our approximate timetable to plan and implement the audit would be to complete Phase One within 60 days after our appointment as your auditors. Phases Two and Three would be performed between mid-March and mid-April. Phase Four would be completed by mid-May. This timeta- ble will be adjusted to accommodate the City. Management Letter - Our services to you include a discussion and written summary of our findings and suggestions for improvements on significant matters concerning operations and controls. As we identify opportunities for improvement and provide recommendations, as appropriate, we will review them with the City Administrator and City Accountant. This allows the administration to immediately begin imple- mentation of our recommendations. Our letter will also discuss current developments in the government area and the potential impact of these developments on your operations. The quality of our letters is one of the factors that differentiates us from other firms; we empha- size "good business" ideas in addition to traditional control comments. Special First Year Services for the City of Falcon Heights - Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd.'s approach in providing auditing services to the City of Falcon Heights features significant first year benefits which we believe are unique among accounting firms. Some of the more important benefits are: A comprehensive analysis of your internal accounting systems through flowchart- ing of accounting procedures and practices. We will report to management our observations, findings and recommendations of specific actions which management might consider for improving and strengthening internal accounting systems and controls. A thorough evaluation of your computer controls to identify strengths and weak- nesses and provide management with our constructive suggestions for enhancing the effectiveness of these controls. An independent appraisal of your significant accounting policies and our assess- • ment of their current appropriateness for managerial and financial reporting. A full-scope assessment of your internal accounting operations, financial information systems and interim financial reporting to document their effective- ness and timeliness. 8 These special first year services are an important by-product of the Kern,DeWenter, Viere, Ltd. approach to auditing cities. Not all accounting firmsapproachtheauditprocessaswedo. Accordingly, others may not make the samefirstyearinvestmentoftimeinordertoprovidetheCityofFalconHeightswiththesespecialfirstyearservices. During the first year, we will spend a significant amount of time meeting with your personnel, becoming familiar with your organization and operations, develop-ing permanent files and preparing the audit plans and procedures. We will absorbthecostofthisnonrecurringtime. We view these initial costs as an excellentinvestmentinfurtherestablishingarelationshipwiththeCityofFalconHeightsandinbecomingmoreknowledgeableaboutitstotaloperations - which will enhance our ability to provide you with responsive service. FEES Our estimate of the fee to provide the audit and accounting services includes the following assumptions: 1. City staff will prepare audit workpapers and schedules, as would be set forth in pre-audit correspondence, and will pull documents as required during the course of the audit 2. City staff will type confirmation and representation letters 3. City staff will be available to answer questions arising during the audit 4. City staff will accumulate historical data necessary to be included in the audit report in order to attain the requested GFOA Certificate of Achievement The following is an estimate of the number of hours anticipated to complete the audit for the year ending December 31, 1990, along with the billing rates of the individuals performing the various audit procedures.

We have not included nonrecurring time required to become familiar with the opera- tions of the City and to develop permanent files as we will absorb these initial costs. Should the City of Falcon Heights decide to pursue the GFOA Certificate of Achievement program at this time, an estimate of an additional charge of $ 1,500 should be added to the above fee. Our fee estimate for the subsequent two years is as follows: December 31, 1991 December 31, 1992 Without GFOA Certificate of Achievement With GFOA Certificate of Achievement 5,700 $ 7,200 5,900 7,400 Circumstances which may require additional fees include the following: 1. City staff does not prepare audit workpapers, schedules or confirmations 2. City staff is not available during field work to answer questions 3. City staff does not accumulate historical data necessary to be included in the audit report in order to attain the requested GFOA Certificate of Achievement We do not anticipate any of the above items to evolve as careful planning and com- munication will prevent these situations from occurring. We encourage our clients to contact us whenever they have questions during the • year. We will not bill the City of Falcon Heights additional amounts unless sub- stantial research or work is required, in which case we will discuss the scope of any additional work and proceed only after we have reached a mutually agreeable fee arrangement. We look forward to the opportunity to serve as your independent auditors. City of Falcon Heights can be assured of timely, quality service and creative planning for the future. We feel this, along with other attributes of our firm as mentioned in this proposal, sets us apart from our competitors. We thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal.

Please refer to the AMM report previouslydistributedaspartoftheJune27thCouncilAgenda. ACTIOr REQUESTED: AMM is looking for feedback from member cities. 1 a ciation ofmser~ropolitan murncipalities July 2, 1990 TO: Janet Weissner - Adm.-Clerk-Treas. RE: 1991 DUES FOR THE ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLIT~,N MUNICIPALITIES AMK~ The AMM Board, in accordance with the By-Laws, is responsible for establishing the Annual Budget and Work Program and setting the corresponding membership dues rate. The process for 1991 is more complicated due to the impact of the recommendations contained in the final report of the Mission and Membership Services Task Force which you recently received under separate cover. The Board voted at the June 28th Board Meeting to recommend implementation of the major Mission Task Force recommendations. Implementing the major Task Force recommendations, including the additional staff person has a total cost of about $38,000 which would result in a 19$ dues increase for member cities over the 1990 dues paid. Consequently, the 1991 AMM dues for Falcon Heights based on this decision would be $1,614 and I would ask you to use that amount when preparing your 1991 budget. The Board recognizes that this is a large increase but believes it is essential for several reasons detailed in said report including the following: 1. The need for the AMM to become more proactive and visible in helping set the metropolitan agenda. We need to be 'there' to represent the AMM member cities adequately at the Council. We need to have a staff person there 12-15 hours per week. Increased responsibilities at the legislature have made it impossible for our small staff to maintain that kind of commitment. 2. The AMM also needs to increase its presence at the State Legislature. The AMM has been 'spread to thin' with the number of policy issues involved and with outstate groups promoting tax policies detrimental to the collective interests of metropolitan area cities, the AMM staff needs to increase the amount of time it can spend 'one-on-one' promoting AMM policy positions. We also need to hold metropolitan legislators more accountable to the AMM agenda. 183 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55101 (612) 227-4008 3. If the AMM is to achieve the status of being recognized as theorganizationthatseaksandrepresentsthecollectiveinterestsofmetropolitanareacities, it is important that the association increase its visibility in the eyes of the Legislature, CityOfficials, the general public and the Metropolitan Council. Anenhancedpublicrelationssystemmustbeimplementedandthiscannotbedoneeffectivelywithoutanadditionalstaffperson.

FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Item: F-4 Meeting Date: 7/25/90 ITEH DESCRIPTION: PURCHASE OF COMPUTER HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SUBMITTED BY: Tom Kelly REVIEWED BY: II~LANATION/SUl4lARY (attach additional sheets as necessary) As previously discussed at the July 11th Council workshop, I recommended the purchase of a system proposed by Precision Computer Systems. I feel their software is the best for our accounting system. The purchase price of the software is as follows: Budgetary Accounting $3,000 Utility Billing 3,000 Payroll 2,500 Fixed Assets 1,000 TOTAL: $9,500 Computerland quoted Wordperfect in Unix version 4.2 for $572.00. This brings the software cost to $10,072.00. The hardware recommendation is a Unisys Unix U6000/10 system. The costofthiswouldbe $10,968.00. The discussion at the workshop led-to th e feeling that 4MB of memory would not be adequate. PCS felt 4MB would handle 2 workstations with no problem. To add an additional 4MB of memory, it would cost $1,995.00. With 8MB of memory, PCS felt the system could handle up to 6 workstations. This would bring the cost up to $12,963.00. Next, I received a quote from Computerland on an HP Lazer Jet 3. This would cost $1,634.00. We could add 1 mega of memory for $179.00. There- fore, we could purchase an excellent laser for $1,813.00. Thus the total cost of hardware would be $14,776.00. ACTION REQUESTED: Approve purchase of software at a cost of $10,072.00 and approve purchase of hardware at a cost of $14,776.00.

This list has remained much the same since 1974 when the practice of posting was implemented following problems such as emergency vehicles being unable to pass through streets, blocked access to water lines, blocked intersections, etc. The posted area was extended further north in the past few years. Following the Fair last year, Council discussed the possibility of experimenting with reducing the number of signs by eliminating posting in areas where it may no longer be necessary. You may wish to discuss this matter and amend the existing list of areas to be posted. ACTIOr REQUESTED: Determine and designate the areas to be posted during the 1990 State Fair. p THE FOLLOWING STREETS ~nrERE DESIGNATED"NO PARKING - TOWAWAY ZONE" DURING STATE FAIR IN 1989: 1.
