Regular Meeting of the Falcon Heights City Council May 9, 2007 Members present: Mayor Gehrz, Council members Kuettel, Lindstrom and Talbot, Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk
Kreuser. Absent: Council member Harris and Administrator Miller. Mayor Gehrz called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Presentation: Mayor Gehrz first presented Gretel Keene, Falcon Heights
resident and lead CERT trainer, with her Falcon Heights CERT trainer polo. Keene thanked the council. She next presented information regarding FEMA, CERT, and the Red Cross. Keene has
been deployed with FEMA several times in past years, and has been an asset to CERT classes by speaking about her experiences. She encouraged residents to obtain their own copies of the
“Are You Ready?” materials by going to www.ready.gov. Mayor Gehrz thanked Keene for all her devotion and hard work to the cause of emergency management. She added that in a disaster,
people should not always count on local government to take care of them before federal help arrives, and urged citizens to start their own emergencyready kits of food, water, and medications.
Minutes: The minutes of the April 25, 2007 regular council meeting were approved as submitted. Consent Agenda: Council member Kuettel moved to approve the following two items. The motion
passed unanimously. 1. General Disbursements through 5/4/07: $71,796.56 Payroll through 4/30/07: $14,876.81 2. 2007 Licenses Policy Agenda: 1. Code Amendment Concerning Compost Piles
Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk began by stating the residents coordinating the Community Garden approached the City with concerns regarding the current compost ordinance.
The current ordinance, she explained, does not allow for fruit or vegetable peels, while the proposed ordinance would allow those additions to residential compost heaps. Council member
Lindstrom added he had some conversations with the community gardeners, and thought the proposed ordinance brought the code more in-line with current practice and with other city’s ordinances.
Council member Kuettel brought up setback from other properties and wanted to know how the City would control compost heaps getting too close to neighboring properties. Council member
Talbot stated the unattractiveness of compost piles, and Council member Lindstrom reminded the council there is no setback in the current ordinance. Kreuser stated the current ordinance’s
requirements, and Council member Kuettel said those who were uneducated about composting practice might need stricter guidelines than those who know what they are
doing. She said that a compost pile is not just a place where you throw your kitchen scraps, but has an environment that must be nursed. She stated that the Solid Waste Commission had
rodent and stench concerns back when they proposed the current ordinance. Council member Lindstrom stated that there would be other recourses the City could take in those instances.
Kuettel said it would fall on the neighborhoods to report and would take more manpower to enforce those nuisances. Council member Lindstrom added that the problems are when the dairy
and meat products are added in, and pointed out the current ordinance does not state the compost pile must be turned. Council member Talbot stated that an “accessory structure,” is not
chicken wire, and wanted to see something that defined what the structure is. Council member Kuettel stated she whole-heartedly approves of composting, but cautioned the council against
approving the vague ordinance. Council member Lindstrom said companies had done a fair amount of advertising for composting, and Ramsey County sells the compost bins at the State Fair.
Talbot said he would still like to have the structure more defined. Mayor Gehrz asked if Roseville had language. Council member Talbot replied there are guidelines, but discretion is
given to the code enforcement officer. Mayor Gehrz said the only change from the current ordinance is the change to kitchen vegetables and fruit. Kuettel said having a tight ordinance
would be better. But Lindstrom said that most people who compost using the black bin that is turned over and is in the sun, put vegetables and fruits in anyway. He said the approval
would simply bring the ordinance in line with the practice. Council members Kuettel and Talbot said there had to be a setback requirement and to add in the acceptable accessory structure
definition. Mayor Gehrz said the Council could add in the setback requirement, but Council member Lindstrom said he would rather have the structure open for discretion by the code enforcement
officer. He did not want that provision to be too restrictive. Mayor Gehrz asked about the eggshell addition. Councilmember Lindstrom replied the proposed ordinance outlawed animal products,
which included eggshells. The Planning Commission did not want eggshells to be outlawed from compost heaps, and did not want to start carving out exceptions. Council member Talbot suggested
the Environment Commission make a list of best practices for composting. The City will publish those on the City website. Lindstrom added that there would be an option for the garbage
haulers to add in literature along with the bill, as, he believed, was provisioned in the Memorandum of Understanding with the haulers. Council member Lindstrom moved to approve ordinance
07-05 with the suggested change of a five-foot setback from all neighboring properties. The motion passed unanimously. Information/Announcements: Council member Lindstrom stated there
was a workday at the Community Garden on May 5. He thanked everyone for their work in preparing the plots. Council member Kuettel congratulated the four FH Elementary students who won
a trip to the “Future Problem Solvers International” competition in Colorado. A pasta supper fundraiser is planned for May 22 from 5-7 p.m. Council member Talbot stated Cor Wilson would
soon be presenting the changes in legislation regarding cities rights-of-way at an upcoming meeting.
Mayor Gehrz adjourned the meeting at 8:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Stacey Kreuser Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk

to administer the city’s shade tree program. For the past two years, we have used Mandy Musielewicz from Vernix Forestry Consultants to perform this work. Staff has been very satisfied

CONSENT F4 5/23/07 ITEM: CERT Grant Application Authorization SUBMITTED BY: Sue Gehrz, Mayor and Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: The State of Minnesota is currently accepting
applications for their Citizen Corps grant program. Over $240,000 is available statewide, and the City of Falcon Heights has historically been very successful in obtaining grant money
to fund our CERT programs. The deadline for this grant cycle is May 31st. Money received will be used for holding another CERT class, conducting an emergency exercise, and once again
bringing all CERT classes together for a City-wide emergency tabletop scenario. REQUESTED ACTION: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor and staff to submit a grant
application to the State of Minnesota for future citizen corps/CERT activities. The formal application will be provided to council at a later date so that the actual request can be recognized.
POLICY G1 5/23/07 ITEM: Environment Commission Purpose Statement SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: Environment Commission EXPLANATION: The Environment Commission
recently took time to evaluate areas where they wish to focus their energy in the future. Through this process, a purpose statement was drafted and presented to the city council for
approval. At the April 25th meeting, the city council asked that the commission review one area of the draft purpose statement and bring it back for approval. On May 14th, the environment
commission met and made the changes requested by the city council. Attached to this report is the purpose statement the environment commission is asking the council to approve. REQUESTED
ACTION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Environment Commission purpose statement.
Falcon Heights Environment Commission: Purpose Statement Draft # 3 May 14, 2007 The purpose of the Environment Commission is to assess current conditions, educate citizens and recommend
action for improvement to City Council related to the environmental quality of the City of Falcon Heights. Areas for assessment, education and recommended action include attention to:
Energy Use and Air Quality The Commission suggests individual and city-wide actions to reduce use of carbon fuels that contribute to ozone depletion and global climate change. Decreasing
the use of both private and commercial vehicles, using public transportation and encouraging more energy –efficient vehicles are encouraged. Recreation and Aesthetic Appreciation The
Environment Commission encourages development of accessible public spaces that promote recreation and aesthetic appreciation such as parks, trails, community gardens, seasonal plantings,
and side walks. Walking, biking and other forms of non motorized travel are supported. Green Infrastructure The Commission supports improving the green space of the city, including efforts
to remove invasive non native plants. Attention is given to the arbor culture of the city by supporting sound forest management and planting of indigenous trees most suitable to Falcon
Heights. Water Citizens are encouraged to improve water quality through rain gardens and green roofs, reducing use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and conserving water in the
home and garden. Proper pick up and composting of leaf and yard matter is strongly encouraged. Solid Waste The Commission monitors waste collection and recycling procedures and contracts
for the purpose of reducing costs and insuring environmentally responsible methods of collection. Education Public education includes use of newsletters and flyers to encourage responsible
environmental practices by all citizens. School-age commissioners are welcomed on the Environment Commission and outreach to local schools is ongoing.
POLICY G2 5/23/07 ITEM: Cleveland Median Project SUBMITTED BY: Tim Pittman, Park and Public Works Director Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: Included in the 2007 Capital
Improvements Plan is $18,000 to renovate the median along Cleveland Avenue between Larpenteur and Roselawn Avenues. While this is a Ramsey County roadway, upkeep of the median has historically
been a responsibility of the city. Over the years, this median has become unsightly and is in need of repair. Current conditions include 42 trees along with a hodgepodge of shrubs and
grasses. After consultation with the city’s forester, it is staff’s belief that the trees are in good shape, provide an aesthetically pleasing driving experience, and should be retained.
The grasses and shrubs create a maintenance problem for our small public works staff, and we are recommending that they be replaced with a stamped concrete product that will require
minimal maintenance and create a cobblestone appearance. The stamped concrete looks like a cobblestone paver project, but since there will not be gaps between the pavers, weeds will
not be able to grow between the spaces, thus eliminating maintenance needs. Staff initially contacted some concrete installers and found that a project as proposed above would cost close
to $50,000. Upon hearing this, staff looked at alternative options, one of which includes performing the work in-house. Tim Pittman has performed work like this in the past and is confident
that he, along with the rest of the public works staff, can complete this work this summer. Their estimates include the cost of the concrete, cobblestone stamping materials, and other
miscellaneous supplies. A standard gray concrete would put the project at about $13,300, while the most expensive colored concrete would be closer to $22,000. Staff believes that a standard
gray color would best serve the city as the colored concrete will eventually fade and the only way to regain the color would be to rip out the existing concrete and replace it. Staff
will have pictures of similar projects available at the city council meeting so that the council has a better idea of what the stamped cobblestone concrete looks like. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
1. Length: 1,285’ 2. Width: 9’ 3. Trees: 42 x 9’x 9’ = 3,402 square feet, openings filled with mulch 4. Total square footage: 11,565 – 3,402 = 8,163 square feet of poured concrete with
cobblestone stamping. 5. 4”x 9’ x 100’ = 11 yards x 9 = 99 yards of concrete 6. 1,285’ – 378’of tree openings = 907’
7. Contractors price: $93.00 per yard x 99 = $9,207.00 + $598.45 for tax = $9805.45 for a total. 8. Colored concrete depending on the color could cost as much as $172.50 per yard. 99
x 172.50 = $17,077.50 + $1110.03 for tax = $18,187.53 for a total. 9. Tools: Pricing the tools from a Graingers book (page #1230) will cost approximately $492.00 + $31.98 for tax = $523.98
for a total. 10. Framing materials: 10 -2” x 4” x 10’ x $5.00 each = $50.00 1” x 3” x 24” framing stakes/bundle = $20.00 $70.00 for a total. 11. London cobblestone stamps/application
