Regular Meeting of the City Council January 10, 2007 Members present: Mayor Gehrz, Council members Harris, Kuettel, Lindstrom and Talbot, and Administrator Miller. Absent: Assistant
City Administrator/Deputy Clerk Kreuser. Mayor Gehrz called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The minutes of the December 13, 2006 regular council meeting were approved as corrected
by Council member Kuettel. Public Hearing: 1. Ordinance Adopting a Fee Schedule Mayor Gehrz began by stating every year the City evaluates the fees charged for city services. Administrator
Miller said State statute requires cities to adopt their fee schedules each year, and Falcon Heights chose to do it by ordinance. He stated the biggest change would be the building fees
as the City is operating under the 1997 fee schedule. He said a fee schedule from 2003 was created by the League, AMM, and the Builders Association and many cities operate under that
schedule. He went over the changes: planning fees for variance applications would be $100, solicitor solicitor application fee is $25, residential storm sewer charges to $9.75 per quarter,
and commercial rates increase to $91 per acre per quarter. Council member Kuettel asked if the refuse hauler license fee was in line with other cities’ fees. Miller replied he would
check, but noted that the licensing for 2007 was mostly complete and the haulers paid the $70 rate. Kuettel also asked about the facility rental fees. Council member Lindstrom asked
why the fee for solicitors would be reduced from $35 to $25. Administrator Miller replied that in speaking with the city attorney it was in line with other cities. He stated the $25
fee was adequate to cover staff time, and the main driver in charging a fee is to recoup City expenses. Mayor Gehrz opened the public hearing. No comments were heard. The public hearing
was closed. Council member Kuettel moved to approve ordinance 07-01, approval of the 2007 fee schedule. The motion passed unanimously. Consent Agenda: Council member Harris asked about
the contract with with HRC, and noted residents are becoming more familiar with the services provided since usage has increased. Council member Kuettel inquired about the $26 charge
for rug service. Council member Talbot commented on the tree trimming, Council standing rules, official newspaper, the HRC, and the City Administrator contract. Council member Kuettel
moved to approve the following 16 items. The motion passed unanimously. 1. General Disbursements 12/13/06 through 1/4/07: $259,315.89 Payroll 12/1/06 through 12/31/06: $15,719.88 2.

15. Recommendations for changes to the Employment Agreement for the City Administrator 16. Approve Hiring of Melanie Leehy as Office Assistant Policy Agenda: 1. Solicitor’s Ordinance
Administrator Miller began by going over the items of note in the proposed ordinance, including the fee, background check provision, and allowed time of operation. Council member Lindstrom
requested that the beginning time allowed for solicitation, 9 a.m., be added to the application. Council member Kuettel moved to approve the solicitor’s ordinance. The motion passed
unanimously. 2. Proposed New Ordinance on Mobile Storage Structures Administrator Miller began the item by explaining that the proposed ordinance regulates mobile storage structures
by size allowed. He mentioned the Planning Commission changed the time restriction to 72-hours from 48-hours, and the four-week provision was increased from three weeks since rental
is generally for a four-week block. Council member Talbot questioned whether PODS have reflectors for when they are parked on the street. He asked whether Miller had talked with Chief
Ohl regarding parking them on the street. Miller replied that the restrictions are more stringent with PODS than for dumpsters, and stated that most streets are wide enough for one POD,
but permitting two PODS on opposite sides of the street would be avoided. Council members Talbot and Kuettel asked the fee, and after consulting the council agreed to base the fee in
alignment with a parking permit, which is $10. Council member Talbot moved to approve ordinance 07-03. The motion passed unanimously. Council member Lindstrom moved to bring back the
fee schedule ordinance, and also moved to add a permit fee of $10 for anyone who keeps a mobile storage unit. Both motions passed unanimously. Information/Announcements: Council member
Harris stated the Park/Rec Commission met and they were working on their Park Plan to be used as part of the City’s Comp Plan. She welcomed Eric Maronde to the Commission as a youth
commissioner. The new chair is Gene Osazky. She reminded residents to return the parks/rec survey as well.
Council member Lindstrom stated the Community Garden Steering Committee met for the first time, and 10-12 people were in attendance. He stated ground would be broken in March/April,
and people are excited. Council member Kuettel stated the newsletter, parks/rec survey, and recycling calendar were mailed and to look for those. Council member Talbot stated Cor Wilson
would be attending a meeting soon regarding net neutrality and rights-of-way. He thanked the NSCC and Maureen Anderson in conjunction with several volunteers for their work with the
cable channel. Mayor Gehrz announced the CERT classes start January 11 with 20 participants. She also said at 6:30 at City Hall on January 22 residents are invited to attend the annual
gathering of the Neighborhood Commission, CERT, Liaison groups. RSVP to City Hall. Administrator Miller said rinks were beginning to be flooded. The new street signs will be installed

CONSENT F3 1/24/07 ITEM: Additional Two Year Proposal for Services by Audit Firm Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd for Years Ending 2007 and 2008 SUBMITTED BY: Roland Olson, Finance Director
REVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION/DESCRIPTION: The City has already approved audit services from the auditing firm Kern, DeWenter, Viere for the year ending
December 31, 2006 at a price of $16,200. Included with the price quote for 2006, were quotes for the years ending 2007 and 2008. The advantage of locking in the price for these two additional
years would be savings in audit costs for the City. The only increases in price are due to inflationary estimates. There are no projected increases due to increases in GASB (Governmental
Accounting Standards Board) and SAS (Statement of Auditing Standards) auditing requirements even though these requirements increase yearly. The City’s thorough preparation for the audit
results in savings in audit costs. The City’s audit cost for the year ending December 31, 2005, was $15,500. The cost for the year ending December 31, 2006 will be $16,200. For the year
ending December 31, 2007 it would cost $16,850. For the year ending December 31, 2008 it will cost $17,500. The City completed an RFP for audit services in 2004. Kern, DeWenter, Viere,
Ltd was the lowest price. By choosing Kern , DeWenter, Viere Ltd over the next lowest competitor, the City saved $7,590 in audit costs over the last three year period. Incidentally,
the projected 2008 audit cost for the City utilizing Kern, DeWenter, Viere is still lower than the next lowest competitor’s cost would have been for the year ending December 31, 2005.
Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd provides exemplary service. They were a leader with GASB34 implementation and they continue to participate in continuing education at the MN GFOA conference
with various topics/seminars on the latest GASB requirements. ACTION REQUESTED: Approval of the three year price quote from Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd.
KERN· DEWENTER·VIERE Mr. Roland Olson Finance Director City of Falcon Heights 2077 West Larpenteur Avenue Falcon Heights, MN 55113 Dear Mr. Olson: Thank you for the opportunity to provide
a quote for audit services for the next three years. Because of the City's thorough preparation for the audit process, the assumptions made in our most recent three year quote remain
the same, and we are able to provide a new three year quote with only inflationary increases: For the year ended December 31, 2006 For the year ended December 31, 2007 For the year ended
December 31, 2008 $16,200 $16,850 $17,500 We value our relationship with the City ofFa1con Heights and hope this quote meets your expectations and those of administration and the
City Council. Sincerely, ~-Matthew L. Mayer, CPA &pert advice. When you need it. SOl emifii'd Public Accounlnnu Financi,tl Scrviu:s Organizntioll Del't?lopmenl SLTllltgic Consl/ltins

CONSENT F4 1/24/07 ITEM: Resolution declaring costs to be assessed, receiving assessment rolls and setting assessment hearing date for Hamline/Hoyt Sanitary Sewer repairs SUBMIITED BY:
Deb Bloom, City Engineer R EVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: As a part of the Hamline Hoyt reconstruction project the contractor completed five sanitary sewer
service repairs. Consistent with City Code, the repair of sanitary sewer services is the responsibility of the private property owner. Prior to completing this work, the City of St.
Paul provided an estimated cost to the property owners. These costs were based upon bid prices for a “normal” depth sanitary sewer main. Upon performing the work, it was determined that
the sewer main line was 26 feet deep. “Normal” depth of sanitary sewer would be considered 5 to 10 feet. Deeper pipes mean more material to dig out, more restoration, more time, and
additional safety measures. As a result of this, the cost to reconstruct these services was considerably higher than the estimate provided to the property owners. Due to the nature of
trunk sanitary sewer, there are areas of sewer that can get to be quite deep. This is the result of the need for gravity to accommodate the flow of effluent in the pipe. The extra depth
of the line in this area is because it is a trunk line, not because of the homeowner’s connection to it. As a result, staff felt that since the depth was not “normal” it would not be
appropriate to require the homeowner to pay the additional cost. The costs, as originally estimated was; $12,290.20, the actual cost of this work was; $29,044.24. Since this is a joint
St. Paul-Falcon Heights trunk sewer main, the City staffs have agreed that the additional cost should be shared by the Cities. We were unable to include these assessments with the street
assessments levied last fall because the total cost for these repairs had not been finalized at that time. The following properties located within the City of Falcon Heights are proposed
to be assessed assessed at this time. The assessments are consistent with the costs as estimated prior to the work being performed by the contractor. They are based on the length of
the sanitary sewer service repair and estimated excavation time for a “normal” depth sanitary sewer. HAMLINE/HOYT SANITARY SEWER REPAIRS Assessment Roll Address Excavation Pipe Cost

for the council to adopt a resolution setting a hearing date for the assessments. It is recommended that assessment hearings be held at the regular meeting on Wednesday, February 28,
2007. Schedule: The 2007 assessment process is scheduled as follows: January 24 Resolution declaring costs to be assessed, receiving assessment rolls, setting hearing dates Feb 13 &

POLICY G1 1/24/07 ITEM: Approval of Storm Pond Maintenance Projects SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator Deb Bloom, City Engineer EXPLANATION: Periodically, stormwater retention
ponds accumulate road debris, soil, and other materials that keep them from functioning properly. As a result, they need to be cleaned out to ensure that they have adequate capacity
to hold and treat the stormwater runoff before making its way to lakes and rivers. Last fall we included two of our storm ponds with the City of Roseville pond maintenance project bid.
Unfortunately, the low bid received, $19,892, far exceeded our estimate of $9,280. As a result, we could not recommend awarding the project. In the interest of completing the project
we have asked additional contractors to provide us with a stand alone project bid. The following are the two new bids received for this work: Contractor Name Bid amount Tom Perkins $7,140
Matco $7,356 The two basins proposed for this maintenance work are located between Maple Court and Prior Avenue (north of City Hall) and immediately behind the Twin Cities Co-Op parking
lot. During some heavy rains this year, we have received complaints from nearby residents about the accumulation of standing water. This work will be performed yet this winter to prevent
any threat of wet or soft soil conditions. A letter was sent last fall to neighboring property owners alerting them of this potential project and giving them plenty of time to let us
know of their concerns. Once the timeline is determined, a follow-up letter will be sent. ATTACHMENTS: Stormwater map RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council
award the pond maintenance work to Tom Perkins.

POLICY G2 1/24/07 ITEM: Approval of Safe Routes to School Grant Application for Falcon Heights Elementary SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: The Safe Routes
to School (SRTS) program, created by the Federal Surface Transportation Act, established a grant program providing communities with the opportunity to improve conditions for bicycling
and walking to school. The goals of the grant program are to encourage children to bike and walk to school, to make walking and bicycling a safer and more attractive transportation alternative,
and to facilitate the planning, development, and implementation of projects that will improve safety and reduce traffic, fuel consumption, and air pollution in the vicinity of schools.
Last year, staff was approached by the Falcon Heights Elementary PTA asking us what could be done to provide more pedestrian/bicycling access to the school, and we agreed to submit an
application on behalf of the school. Currently, there are limited sidewalks/pathways available to Falcon Heights Elementary students, and in fact they do not even allow students to bike
to school because of the lack of safe off-road pathways. One of the goals of the council is to encourage more physical activity by our residents, and this is clearly identified through
the University of Minnesota report provided to the council last summer as well as in our participation in the Active Living Ramsey County program. This grant application is for $54,234
and would fund the following projects: 1) Bituminous pathways on each side of the Falcon Heights Elementary School playground, connecting Garden and Ruggles Avenues and extending a sidewalk
to Hamline Avenue 2) Two solar-powered, pedestrian controlled flashing beacons to be placed at the intersection of Hamline and Garden Avenues to provide for safer pedestrian crossings
3) Two bike racks to be located at Falcon Heights Elementary 4) Education and supplies for bike safety classes The deadline for this application is January 31st, and we should receive
notification by March if we are successful in receiving any of the $1.3 million available statewide. ATTACHMENTS: SRTS Grant Application Falcon Heights Elementary School Map ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council approve the attached Safe Routes to School grant application on for pedestrian/bicycling improvements in the area of Falcon Heights
Elementary School.

27 Describe The Current Risks And Obstacles To Walking/Biking To And From Schools. You May Include Photos With Descriptions Of Current Conditions If You Wish. There are no currently
no sidewalks, pathways, or other accomodations avaialble to students who wish to walk or ride a bike to school along these routes, so the students are required to share the road with
vehicles. Garden Avenue is one of the only uninterrupted east-west streets in Falcon Heights, so there is considerable non-school related traffic. Additionally, students wishing to cross
Hamline Avenue must navigate their way through high traffic levels which are also travelling at a high speed. 28 Please Summarize Any Relevant Planning Documents, Surveys And/Or Crash
Data That Demonstrate The Need For This Project. The City of Falcon Heights is an leading member of Active Living Ramsey County, an organization that is trying to encourage healthier
lifestyles for our residents. One recommendation of this organization is for cities to provide more accessible pedestrian facilities so people are encouraged to get out of their vehicles
and bike/walk to their destinations. A recent study by a University of Minnesota intern team also recommened that the City of Falcon Heights install more walking trails, and denoted
this area as one possibility. Relevant sections of this study are attached. 29 For Infrastructure Projects, Please Provide A Map Of The Area (See Instr ctions) (Please Attach Map, Maximum

For Infrastructure Projects Please Complete 31-33 31 Describe Proposed Infrastructure Improvement(s) And How It Addresses The Conditions Described Line 27. The proposed pathways will
provide a direct connections for students coming to the school from the north and south and direct them away from the street system, instead having them walk through the school's playground.
The eastern pathway will connect into an existing regional sidewalk running parallel along Hamline Avenue. Creating more pedestrian access points will also reduce the number of students
who have to navigate their way through a very congested car/bus drop-off area. Additionally, the pedestrian-controlled crosswalk/flashing lights will stop traffic and allow students
to safely cross Hamline Avenue. 32 Describe Non-Infrastructure Activities That Support Your Infrastructure Project (See Instructions). Currently students are not allowed to ride their
bikes to school because of the lack of adequate pathways. If the proposed pathways are constructed, a training program will be designed to educate students in safe bike riding practices.

POLICY G3 1/24/07 ITEM: Approval of recodified City Code SUBMITTED BY: Deb Jones, Zoning and Planning Director REVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: In 2004, the
Council directed Staff to put in motion a review and recodification of the City Code, a process that was last done more than 10 years ago. The City selected Municipal Code Corporation
of Tallahassee, Florida, to undertake this project, and a draft was delivered to the City at the end of May, 2006. During the following months the draft was subjected to an intensive
review by Staff, the City Council and the City Attorney. The zoning chapter was also reviewed by the Planning Commission State statute requires a public hearing before the Planning Commission
on the zoning chapter and a recommendation by the Commission to the Council. This hearing was held on July 25, 2006. The Planning Commission submitted a list of suggested revisions and
recommended approval of the zoning chapter provided the items on the list were addressed prior prior to final approval of the code. Editorial changes from all Falcon Heights reviewers
were returned to Municipal Code at the beginning of December. Code books with the revised code in final formatting were delivered to the City during the last week of December. New ordinances
and amendments passed after September 13 will be included in the first supplement, already in preparation. After approval, the new City Code will be available on the web. ATTACHMENTS:

• Approve Ordinance 07-04
OMITTED ORDINANCES To merit inclusion in a Code, ordinances must be both general and permanent. Examples: a budget ordinance is general, in that it affects all municipal government,
but it is only good for one year and is therefore not permanent. A rezoning ordinance is permanent but since it only affects one parcel of land, it is not general enough to merit inclusion.
Generally omitted by most municipalities: These ordinances are not considered to be either general or permanent enough to warrant inclusion. • purchase orders, change orders and other
contractual ordinances guaranteeing payment of money • bond issuance • annual tax levies (ad valorem) • street opening, closing, renaming, vacating, accepting grade lines • transfers,
sales or acceptances of real or personal property • rezoning • acceptance of subdivisions • a temporary ordinance that is general in effect (e.g., a one-year increase in the sales tax)
• a special ordinance that is permanent in effect (e.g., the creation of a special taxing district that affects the downtown development district) • an ordinance that was passed for
a purpose that has been consummated or is otherwise obsolete (e.g., black-out regulations left over from World War II; declaration of drought) Ordinances that may or may not be included
depending on the preference of the municipality: These ordinances are more or less general and permanent but for various reasons--length, complexity, proneness to frequent amendment,
political situation--a municipality may choose not to include them. • zoning and subdivision ordinances • building and technical code amendments • personnel plans • franchises • employee
salaries • fees (water rates; recreation-related fees; building permit fees) • traffic schedules for specific streets Ordinances omitted for any reason may be summarized in list form
in an appendix or may be accounted for in a disposition table that notes subject matter and adoption date. Prepared by: Municipal Code Corporation (800) 262-2633
