Regular Meeting Minutes
November 8, 2006
City Hall
Members Present: Mayor Gehrz, Council members Harris, Lindstrom, and Talbot,
Administrator Miller, Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk Kreuser, Recreation Supervisor
Abernathy, and Engineer Bloom. Members absent: Council member Kuettel.
Mayor Gehrz called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
The minutes of the October 25, 2006 regular City Council meeting were approved as submitted.
Public Hearing:
The Mayor asked if there were first any comments from the public on the proposed assessments.
There were none in attendance who made comments. She asked Engineer Bloom to give a brief
overview of the projects and timeline. Bloom first gave a report on Roselawn, stating the
estimated total cost is $1.13 million, with Falcon Heights’s portion estimated at $474,000. She
said the project is roughly 92% complete, with the cities still owing the final payment that is to
be made after completion of the last few items by the contractor. She stated the total to date was
$907,000 not including engineering costs, and the actual project cost is on track with the
estimate.
The Mayor opened the public hearing on the Roselawn assessment roll. No comments were
heard. She closed the public hearing and invited Bloom to continue with the Hamline/Hoyt
assessment roll.
Bloom gave an overview of the reconstruction. Bloom said Falcon Heights met with St. Paul,
and since they are not close to closing it out, final cost accounting will arrive in 2007. She added
that when the project is final, she would come back, however she is not aware of any surprises in
the cost. She said the total cost would be brought forward in 2007, but since the assessment rate
is fixed she asked that the council for approval for assessments.
Mayor Gehrz opened the public hearing on the Hamline/Hoyt assessment roll. No comments
were heard. She closed the public hearing and asked for a motion on the first resolution 06-28
for Hamline/Hoyt assessment roll. Council member Talbot moved to approve resolution 06-28.
The motion passed unanimously. Council member Lindstrom moved to approve resolution 06-
29 for the Roselawn assessments. The motion passed unanimously.
Consent Agenda:
Council member Harris asked for more information on the fourth item. Administrator Miller
said the City once housed a business that sold pull-tabs, and State law allowed cities to recoup a
percentage of pull-tab profits and to use the dollars on specified projects. No one sells pull-tabs
in the City anymore, and the fund had been drawn down enough to simply close it out.
Council member Talbot asked if in the future a non-profit asks to have gambling, how it would
happen. Miller stated they would need to acquire a lawful gambling permit from the City and a
new fund would be created.
Council member Harris moved the following four items for approval. The motion passed
unanimously.
1. General disbursements through 11/2/06: $10,443.05
Payroll through 10/31/06: $21,013.36
2. Approval of licenses
3. Appointment of new volunteer firefighters
4. Increase budget line item in the Special Revenue Fund 209 Lawful Gambling
to reflect expenditures and close the Fund
Policy Agenda:
Mayor Gehrz said the stormwater pond item would have to be tabled due to the bids coming in
higher than anticipated, and that Roseville will rework the RFP.
1. Discussion of Environment Commission recommendations Community Garden Discussion
Environment Commission Chair Jim Kielsmeier introduced fellow commissioners Keene and
Bontrager to the council, and Garden Works representatives Ila Duntemann and Sarah Ullmer.
Council member Lindstrom, who is also council liaison to the Environment Commission,
presented the council with the Commission’s recommendations for a community garden. He
indicated the reasons, market analysis, action of the Commission to date, possible locations, and
budget of a garden. Lindstrom explained there is $5,000 in the capital budget, however the
garden likely would not cost that much. He estimated the costs of hauling and tilling would be in
the $2,500 range and perhaps $500 for miscellaneous expenses or a fence for the 20-plot space.
He said the Commission’s recommended locations for a garden are A) Community Park and B)
City Hall front lawn. He explained the garden could be a potential revenue source for the City,
as rent could be in the $25 range per plot. Lastly, he asked the Council’s approval for creation of
the Community Garden Steering Committee to do research and make decisions regarding the
garden, to detract from additional burden placed on City staff and the Environment Commission.
Raymond Wirth, 1795 Pascal, commented that animals, particularly rabbits would be a nuisance
to the garden and suggested an electric fence to keep pests out. He said that one would have to
be an avid gardener to want to rent a plot of land to garden on, and said people could buy their
produce at the Farmer’s Market or grocery store rather than having to grow it. He thought
people would start the project and give up, letting the plot grow to weeds. He also asked when
the garden fails, who would pay to have it restored.
Tom Lageson, 1740 Pascal, said he liked the idea and thought there were good benefits but said
there were other ways to build community with the money. He asked what the taxpayers were
getting. He encouraged water and electricity meters be installed at the site, and that apartment-
dwellers have first priority in reserving plots. He recommended the City set up an enterprise
fund to track expenses, and warned against staff time used for planning and maintenance of the
garden. He said the garden would have to be organic, and in response to the reported increased
property values, he said the garden would have an effect on only the properties within 1,000 feet
of the garden. Finally he pointed out there would be security and crime issues at the garden, with
vandals and stealing, but said he was mainly discouraged by the cost and thought there were
other ways to create togetherness in the City. He suggested the City give $100 to residents
instead, for them to go buy produce at Whole Foods.
Duntemann commented there are community garden rules that could be adopted by the City, of
which there are samples available through Garden Works. She thought 20 plots in Falcon
Heights was doable with the interest garnered already with the garden, and with gardening as the
second most-popular hobby in the nation, the garden could work. She said at her garden they do
have rabbits, but certain garden varietals could be planted to discourage them, or perhaps a fence
once the extent of the vermin population is known. Community space and having the garden
open to the public without a fence would be an amenity to the City.
Ullmer said there are start-up costs associated with a community garden, however, they are an
investment in the community. She said the most important part of having a community garden is
having the community on-board. Since the Steering Committee will be formed and there is
interest, she said that will help a lot in the life of the community garden.
Duntemann added that a water meter could be added and figured into the plot rental.
Mayor Gehrz asked about waiting lists for gardens. Duntemann answered that there was a
waiting list at her garden, and they stopped at 40-50 individuals. Gehrz asked about the
categorization of priority on who gets a plot. Duntemann replied that every garden is unique,
and that most rentals are by apartment-dwellers, and perhaps Falcon Heights would be geared for
those with shady yards.
Lageson asked Duntemann about the storage and purchase of tools. She replied that her garden
was able to get a grant for purchasing and building an arch and flag, and renters often are able to
find private residences that donate storage space. She added that at her garden they built a shed
on-site, and there are many grants available to help do this in Falcon Heights.
Council member Lindstrom said he was impressed with Chanhassen’s garden and asked
Administrator Miller to comment. Miller said it was successful with recurring renters and it sold
out every year. Mayor Gehrz asked if City resources were used. Miller said it was self-
sustaining after it got going, and City staff did a cleaning in the spring and fall but otherwise the
gardeners took care of it.
Wirth commented that collaring animals or an electric fence was not practical, however money
for surveillance and some type of chain-link fence would be a real cost. He reiterated his
comments that restoration of land after the garden’s failure would be expensive, and the money
should be spent in other areas. Duntemann said there is one garden in the metro that is fenced
with a lock, but it is an issue that is debated across the country. She said the City would have to
experiment and find what works with our situation.
Kielsmeier added that he puts up his own temporary fence for his garden every year so it could
be done. Also he said he had a plot at Gibbs’s Community Garden and it was a choice of Gibbs
to redevelop the land, not a lack of demand or use of the garden plots.
Mayor Gehrz said the City needed to okay the plan with the University, and will consult with the
U.
Council member Lindstrom moved to endorse the creation of a community garden at Community
Park, tentative on the Mayor’s discussion with University officials and endorse the creation of a
Community Garden Steering Committee. The motion passed unanimously.
2. Structure replacement and repainting of the Curtiss Field Playground
Recreation Supervisor Abernathy began by explaining the City has gotten some complaints
regarding the wooden areas on the play structures. After assessment with the vendor, it was
recommended the entire structure not be replaced but repainted and replacements made of
aluminum where the wood was previously installed. She added the Parks and Rec Commission
agreed with the recommendation, and the refurbishing will ensure 15 additional years onto the
life of the structure.
Council member Harris asked about the budget funding for the project. Miller replied money
would be spent from the parks capital budget as $70,000 was budgeted initially.
Council member Harris moved to approve the structure replacement and repainting of the Curtiss
Field Playground, not to exceed $15,000. The motion passed unanimously.
3. Advance Purchase of Copier – 2007 CIP
Administrator Miller began by stating this was an unbudgeted, unplanned expense for 2006,
however $15,000 was budgeted for 2007. Loeffler will deliver a 2007 model this year and will
bill in 2007.
Mayor Gehrz asked about lease versus purchasing of a new machine. Miller replied a lease
implies less up-front costs, but not over the long run.
Council member Talbot moved to approve the advance purchase of a copier with funds from the
2007 CIP. The motion passed unanimously.
4. Approval of stormwater pond maintenance projects
The item was tabled.
5. Approval of City Hall roof repair proposal
Administrator Miller began by explaining there are areas of the roof that are “tenting” around the
perimeter of the flat roof. The contractor will honor the 2006 price in 2007 if the work is not
completed until then.
Council member Harris asked if there are other parts of the roof that may fail. Miller replied the
flat part of the roof is fine according to the inspector, but the tented area is where the seal had
broken and water leaked in.
Council member Lindstrom moved to approve the City Hall roof repair. The motion passed
unanimously.
Community Forum:
Tom Lageson, 1740 Pascal addressed the council as to why his water heater had not been
inspected as it was installed in September. He was advised that his contractor had not gotten a
mechanical contractor’s license, and until they did, his heater would not be inspected. He asked
why the City licenses contractors who are already licensed by other authorities. Council member
Talbot replied that the City licenses as a guarantee to homeowners, and as a level of protection
for homeowners. Lageson asked why the fee seemed high. Mayor Gehrz replied that by law
cities could not make money on their fees, but permit fees are set as to recoup staff time,
inspector’s wages, and the actual cost of the permit, nothing more. Assistant City
Administrator/Deputy Clerk Kreuser stated that Lageson’s contractor had sent in their license
application, and the inspector would be contacting him to set up an appointment. Administrator
Miller stated he would send the inspection fees to Lageson.
Information/Announcements:
Council member Harris said she attended the Human Rights Commission meeting, and they
decided to meet alternating months rather than monthly. She said Chief Ohl would be bringing
case studies dealing with human rights matters to the next meeting for a group exercise. She
added that representatives of the Commission would be attending Human Rights Day on
December 1.
Council member Lindstrom stated the Falcon Heights Lions sponsored the Kids Voting on
Election Day, and Harris added the Roseville Rotary was also a sponsor.
Council member Talbot reminded residents to have their house numbers affixed and lit on their
homes.
Mayor Gehrz thanked staff and judges for their work during election season. She announced the
meeting of the Comp Plan Steering Committee would be held December 11 from 6:30 – 8 p.m.
at City Hall. Speakers from the League of Minnesota Cities will be on-hand to talk about

Administrator Miller stated the Public Works Director interviews were underway and the City
hopes to have someone on board by 2007.
Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk Kreuser said that CERT classes would be starting in

Special Meeting of the City Council
December 4, 2006 Truth-in-Taxation Hearing
7:00 p.m., City Hall
Members present: Mayor Gehrz, Council members Harris and Lindstrom, Administrator Miller,
Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk Kreuser, and Finance Director Olson. Members
absent: Council members Kuettel and Talbot.
Mayor Gehrz called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Public Hearing:
The first item on the agenda was the truth-in-taxation public hearing. Administrator Miller
began the item by stating the council would not take action on the item, but would take
comments from the public and then approve the budget at the December 13 meeting. Miller
reported Falcon Heights is one of the lowest taxed cities in Ramsey County, with a rate of
18.6%. He said this was a function of increased property values and mindful taxing and
spending. Falcon Heights is 96th out of 113 in the lowest taxed cities. After going over the past
trends, he said the year 2007 budget proposes a 3.5% tax increase in addition to a reserve transfer
of just over $161,000 into the general fund. He reported that 40.3% of the properties in Falcon
Heights would see an increase of $100 or less in their total tax bills in 2007, while 19.2% would
see between $101-$200; 27.2% would see between $201-$300; 8.9% would see between $301-
$400; 3.0% would see between $401-$500; and 1.4% would see an increase of more than $500.
Next Miller went over the comparison between 2006 and 2007 tax years and where the increases
were. Using the median value of a home in Falcon Heights as an example ($269,000 for 2007),
the tax on this property would increase by $112. The County is attributable to the bulk of the
increase, with $94, and the City is responsible for roughly $22 of the increase. Other taxing
jurisdictions either lowered their tax or it remained the same. After explaining Falcon Heights
has among the lowest taxes in the County, he moved on to say the general fund is made up of
60% property tax revenues, with intergovernmental, fines, charges for service, and licenses and
permits rounding out the list. Next, he explained where the tax dollars were allocated once they
reach the City: the general fund makes up 43% of expenditures, 27% capital projects, enterprise
and debt service funds at 17% and 10% respectively, and special revenue funds with 3% of
expenditure. He stated the main change in the 2007 levy is due to the police contract increase by
roughly $29,000, increased utility costs, and health insurance costs. On the revenue side,
roughly $30,000 was gained in LGA compared to 2006, and the council will propose a fee
change in building permits in 2007. He showed graphs on expenditures by department next, with
public safety attributable to 44% of the expenditures for 2007, followed by general government
with 35%, and parks/public works with 20%. He announced that other taxing jurisdictions
would be holding their TNT hearings later in the month.
Council member Lindstrom stated there were numerous hours spent on the budget. He asked
how one could explain how taxes are set to a 10th grader. Miller replied that cities and counties
turn in the amount they want to collect from taxpayers. Smart people determine the tax rate and
then calculate taxes based on property values.
Mayor Gehrz stated the total increase is about $30,000 for 2007, which would be the total tax bill
from TIES if they were taxable. Finance Director Olson stated the revenue from the TIES
property would be equal to $35,000. Mayor Gehrz opened the public hearing.
Susan Harding, 2189 Folwell, asked why TIES did not pay taxes. Mayor Gehrz answered that
TIES agreed to a payment in lieu of taxes since they said the property was being used for tax-
exempt purposes. They have since stopped the payment in lieu of taxes, and the City has no
legal grounds to force it. The County determines what uses qualify as exempt from taxes, and
the TIES property qualifies.
Council member Lindstrom asked Administrator Miller if he could identify an expense the City
has that would equal TIES tax payment. Miller replied that would cover the ¾ time parks and
public works employee’s wages, or, would reduce the tax rate impact.
Mayor Gehrz closed the public hearing.
Policy Agenda:
1. Approval of Tim Pittman as Parks and Public Works Director
Administrator Miller stated that in total, the City received close to 40 applications, and a staff
panel of Miller, Stacey Kreuser, Deb Jones, Roland Olson, and Lisa Abernathy interviewed five
candidates. After these initial interviews, Mayor Gehrz, Deb Bloom, and Miller conducted a
second interview with Pittman. Miller said that Pittman was employed with the City of Mounds
View for the past 24 years. Over this time, he worked his way up from utility laborer and
mechanic to his current position of public works supervisor.
Pittman said he was looking forward to working with Falcon Heights, and with his years of
experience, he will bring diverse connections with other cities. He said he would do the best job
he can.
Council member Harris said she loved seeing on his resume how he started from the ground level
and worked his way up.
Council member Lindstrom moved to approve Tim Pittman as the Parks and Public Works
Director. The motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Jeffrey Dains and Council member Karen Doherty of Lauderdale stopped in to the
meeting. Mayor Dains said he wanted to bring Lauderdale’s newest councilor into a meeting to
“see how it was done.”
Information/Announcements:
Council member Lindstrom said the first meeting of the Community Garden Steering Committee
would be held January 8 at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome.
Mayor Gehrz stated the $5800 grant was not reflected in the budget, but Roland will add it into
the special revenue fund. She said she attending the ribbon cutting at Awad Eye Clinic, and
encouraged residents to see the lovely changes to the building. She reminded council members
she needed to have their liaison preferences and performance review input soon.
Administrator Miller said the workshop regularly scheduled for December 6 was canceled.
Mayor Gehrz adjourned the meeting at 7:30 p.m.

ITEM: Continue Workman's Compensation coverage of Mayor and
Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Roland O. Olson, Finance Director

Minnesota statute allows elected or appointed officials of the City to be covered by the

Members has been provided. Our last resolution providing this coverage was done in February
2002. It is a good practice to periodically review this coverage. A new resolution is attached for
consideration. For informational purposes, the cost for this coverage for 2006 was $81.00.
Meets Goal # 4: To provide a responsive and effective city government.
Strategy# 4: To effectively manage the city’s financial resources.

ITEM: Temporary Delegation of Authority to the City Administrator for
Paying Claims Against the City when a Council Meeting is Cancelled
SUBMITTED BY: Roland O. Olson, Finance Director
REVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator
Matthew Mayer, CPA, Kern, DeWenter, Viere. Ltd.
EXPLANATION:
Occasionally a council meeting is cancelled. For example, the last council meeting in December
is often cancelled due to the holiday season. When this rare occasion occurs, there exists the
need for the claims against the city to be paid in a timely manner.
According to Minnesota Statutes 412.271 Subd. 8. a city council, at its discretion, may make a
resolution delegating its authority to pay claims made against the City to a city administrative
official. Staff recommends that the City Administrator be delegated this authority by the City
Council by resolution.
When this would occur, all claims paid by the City Administrator would be reviewed by the City
Council at the next scheduled council meeting.
Meets Goal # 4: To provide a responsive and effective City government.
Strategy# 4: To effectively manage the City’s financial resources.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve a motion delegating the Council’s authority to the City Administrator to pay claims
against the City when a council meeting is cancelled.

ITEM: Statutory Tort Limits Liability Coverage for City
SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Roland Olson, Finance Director
EXPLANATION:
The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) is requesting that cities determine if
they wish to waive the statutory tort limits of $1,000,000. Under these limits an individual can
settle for no more than $300,000 for a single claim and a single claim for all parties cannot
exceed $1,000,000. Under certain circumstances the LMCIT, which represents the City in these
claims, may negotiate above the legal liability limit if necessary because some claims like
employment are exempt from the cap. The general counsel from the LMCIT said that cities
make different choices depending upon their circumstances. However, he perceived that
maintaining the limit was prudent in many cases. The City has had no claims with settlements
for several years. Since 2000, the City Council voted not to waive the statutory tort limits.

LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES INSURANCE TRUST
LIABILITY COVERAGE -WAIVER FORM
Cities obtaining liability coverage from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust must decide
whether or not to waive the statutory tort liability limits to the extent of the coverage purchased.The
decision to waive or not to waive the statutory limits has the following effects:
•!fthe city does not waive the statutory tort limits,an individual claimant would be able to recover no
more than $300,000.on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply.The total which all claimants
would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would be
limited to $1,000,000.These statutory tort limits would apply regardless of whether or not the city
purchases the optional excess liability coverage.
•!fthe city waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage,a single
claimant could potentially recover up to $1,000,000.on a single occurrence.The total which all
claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would
also be limited to $1,000,000.,regardless of the number of claimants.
!fthe city waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage,a single claimant
could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased.The total which all
claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort limits apply would
also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased,regardless of the number of claimants.
Claims to which the statutory municipal tort limits do not apply are not affected by this decision.
This decision must be made by the city council.Cities purchasing coverage must complete and
return this form to LMCIT before the effective date of the coverage.For further information,contact
LMCIT.You may also wish to discuss these issues with your city attorney.

RKS£(MANAGEMENT INFORMATiON
LMCITLIABILITY COVERAGE OPTIONS
Liability Limits,Coverage Limits,and Waivers
LMCIT gives cities several options for structuring their liability coverage.The city can choose
either to waive or not to waive the monetary limits that the statutes provide;and the city can
select from among several liability coverage limits.This memo discusses these options and
identifies some issues to consider in deciding which of the options best meets the city's needs.
What are the statutory limits on municipal tort liability?
The statutes limit a city's tort liability to a maximum of $300,000 per claimant and $1 ;000,000
per occurrence.These limits apply whether the claim is against the city,against the individual
officer or employee,or against both.
What are the coverage limits for LMCIT's basic primary liability coverage?
.LMCIT's liability coverage provides a limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence,matching the per-
occurrence part of the statutory.municipal tort liability limit.Under the basic coverage fonn the
$300,000 per claimant part of the statutory liability limit is not waived,so if the statutory limit
applies to the particular claim,LMCIT and the city would be able to use that limit as a defense.
Beside the overall coverage lim.itof$1,000,000 per occurrence,there are also annual aggregate
limits (that is,limits on the total amount of coverage for the year regardless of the number of
claims),for certain specific risks.Aggregate limits apply to the following:
Products /completed operations
Failure to supply utilities
EMF
Limited pollution*
Lead and asbestos*
Mold
Land use litigation**
Emvloyers liability (work comp)
$1,000,000 annuall
$1,000,000 annually
$1,500,000 annuall
$1,000,000 annuall
.$200,000 annually
$1,500,000 annuall
$1,000,000 annuall
$1,000,000 annually
*The limit applies to both damages and defense costs.
**Coverage is on a sliding scale percentage basis,and applies to both damages and litigation
costs.
If the statute limits our liability to $1,000,000 per occurrence,why would the city purchase
higher coverage limits than that?
There are several different reasons why cities should strongly consider carrying higher limits of
liability coverage.
1.The statutory tort limits either do not or may not apply to several types of claims.Some
examples include:
EI Claims under federal civil rights laws.These include Section 1983,the Americans with
Disabilities Act,etc.
o Claimsfor tort liability that the city has assumed by contract.This occurs when a city
agrees in a contract to defend and indemnify a private party.
o Claimsfor actions in another state.This might occur in border cities that have mutual
aid agreements with adjoining states,or when a city official attends a national conference
or goes to Washington to lobby,etc.
o Claims based on liquor sales.TIlis mostly affects cities with municipal liquor stores,but
it could also arise in connection with beer sales at a fire relief association fund-raiser,for
example.
o Claims based on a "taking"theory.Suits challenging land use regulations frequently
include an "inverse condemnation"claim,alleging that the regulation amounts to a
"taking"of the property.
2.LMCIT's primary liability coverage has annual limits on coverage for a few specific
risks.The table on page 1 lists the liability risks to which aggregate coverage limits apply.
.If the city has a loss or claim in one of these areas,there might not be enough limits
remaining to cover the city's full exposure if there is a second loss of the same sort during the
year.Excess liability coverage gives the city additional protection against this risk as well.
However there are a couple of important restrictions on how the excess coverage applies to
risks that are subject to aggregate limits:
o The excess coverage does not apply to four risks:lead and asbestos;failure to supply
utilities,·mold;and "limited pollution"claims if either the pollutant release or the
damage is below ground or in a body of water;and ..
o The excess coverage does not automatically apply to liquor liability unless the city
specifically requests it.
3.The city may be required by contract to carry higher coverage limits.Occasionally,a
contract might include a requirement that the city carry more than $1,000,000 of coverage
limits.Carrying excess coverage is a way to meet these requirements.(There's also another
2

option for cities in this situation.LMCIT can issue an endorsement to increase the city's
coverage limit only for claims relating to that particular contract.There's a small charge for
these "laser"endorsements.)
4.There may be more than one political subdivision covered under the city's coverage.
An HRA,EDA,or port authority is itself a separate political subdivision.If the city EDA,
for example,is named as a covered party on the city's coverage and a claim were made that
involved both.the city and the EDA,theoretically the claimant might be able to recover up to
$1,000,000 from the city and another $1,000,000 from the EDA,since there are two political
subdivisions involved.Excess coverage is one way to provide enough coverage limits to
address this situation.Another solution is for the BRA,EDA,or port authority to carry
separate liability coverage in its own nan1e.
This issue of multiple covered parties can also arise is if the city has agreed by contract to
name another entity as a covered party,or to defend and indemnify another entity.
S.Cities sometimes choose to carry higher coverage limits because of a concern that the
courts might overturn the statutory liability limits.However,those limits have now been
tested and upheld several times in Minnesota.While it's always possible that a future court
might decide to throw out the statutory limits,this is now less of a concern.
What excess liability coverage limits are available?
Excess coverage is available in $1 million increments,up to a maximum of $S million.
We're just a small city.Isn't excess liability coverage really just something that big cities
might need?
Absolutely not.If anything,excess liability coverage is even more important to a small city.
If a city ends up with more liability than it has coverage,the city will have to either draw on
existing funds argo to its taxpayers to pay that judgment.A large city faced with,say,a million
dollars ofliability over and above what its LMCITcoverage pays might be able to spread that
$1 million cost over several thousand taxpayers.The small city by contrast might be dividing
that same $1 million cost among only a couple hundred taxpayers.$1 million divided among
SOOO taxpayers is $200 apiece -annoying but probably at least manageable for most taxpayers.
$1 million divided among 200 taxpayers is $5000 apiece -enough to be a real problem for many.
How does excess coverage apply to uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage?
If the city carries excess liability coverage,the city has the option to have the excess coverage
also apply to uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM)claims.To do so,the city must first
increase its primary UM/UIM limit from the basic $50,000 to $1,000,000.There are additional
premium charges both to increase the primary UM/UIM lin1it and to apply the excess coverage
to the UM/UIM exposure.The city needs to consider whether the benefit from having higher
UM/UIM limits is worth that cost.
The UMIUIM coverages are intended to assure that an injured driver will be compensated if s/he
is injured in an accident caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver.The UM/UIM coverage
steps into the place of the liability insurance that the driver should have had.
Keep in mind that in the case of city vehicles,an injury to the driver while operating a city
o vehicle would in most cases be covered by workers'compensation.The amounts the individual
would be able to recover from UMIUIM would be in addition to the medical,indemnity,and
other benefits paid under work compo In many cases,it would amount to a double recovery for
the individual's injuries.
A city might decide to carry a higher limit for a couple reasons:if they believe the workers'
compensation benefits are insufficient to compensate their injured employees;or if they want to
make sure that non-employees riding in city vehicles are fully compensated in the"event of an
accident with an wllnsured or underinsured vehicle.(Note that in most cases the passenger's
own UMlUIM would also respond.)
LMCIT now gives the cities who participate in the primary liability coverage the option to
waive the $300,000 per claimant statutory liability limit.What's the effect if we do this?
If the city chooses the "waiver"option,the city and LMCIT no longer can use the statutory limit
of $300,000 per claimant as a defense.Because the waiver increases the exposure,the premium
is roughly 3%higher for coverage under the waiver option.
If the city waives the statutory limit,an individual claimant could therefor recover up to
$1,000,000 in damages on a claim.Of course,the individual would still have to prove to the
court or jury that s/he really does have that amount of damages.Also,the statutory limit of
$1,000,000 per occurrence would still apply;that would limit the individual's recovery to a
lesser amount ifthere were multiple claimants.
Why would the city choose to pay more in order to get the waiver-option coverage?Does it
give the city better protection?
No.Buying coverage under the "waiver"option doesn't protect the city any better.The benefit
is to the injured party.
The statutory liability limit only comes into play in a case where
1.the city is in fact liable;and
2.the injured party's actual proven dan1ages are greater than the statutory limit.
Very literally,applying the statutory liability limit means that an injured party won't be fully
compensated for his/her actual,proven damages that were caused by city negligence.Some
cities as a matter of public policy may want to have more assets available to compensate their
4
I
I
I
J
citizens for injuries caused by the city's negligence.Waiving the statutory liability limits is a
way to do that.
Other cities may feel that the appropriate policy is to minimize the expenditure of the taxpayers'
funds by taking full advantage of every protection the legislature has decided to provide.There's
no right or wrong answer on this point.It's a discretionary question of city policy that each city
council needs to decide for itself.
How would the waiver affect our city's coverage or risk on those claims that the statutory
tort liability limits don't apply to?
It doesn't.Waiving the statutory tort limits has no effect on claims that the statutory limits don't
apply to.
What's the effect of waiving the statutory limits if we have excess coverage?
Ifthe city has $1 million of excess coverage and chooses to waive the statutory tort limits,the
claimants (whether it's one claimant or several)could then potentially recover up to $2 million in
damages in a single occurrence.If the city carries higher excess coverage limits,the potential
maximum recovery per occurrence is correspondingly higher.
Carrying excess coverage under the waiver option isa way to address an issue that some cities
find troubling:the case where many people are injured in a single occurrence caused by city
negligence.Suppose,for example,that a city vehicle negligently runs into a school bus full of
kids,causing multiple serious injuries.$1,000,000 divided 50 ways may not go far toward
compensating for those injuries.Excess coverage under the waiver option makes more funds
available to compensate the victims in that kind of situation.
The cost of the excess liability coverage is about 25%greater if the city waives the statutory tort
linlits.The cost difference is proportionally greater than the cost difference at the primary level
because for a city that carries excess coverage,waiving the statutory tort limits increases both the'
per-claimant exposure and the per-occurrence exposure.
If we waive the statutory tort liability limits,does it increase the risk that the city will end
up with liability that LMCIT doesn't cover?
No.The waiver form specifically says that the city is waiving the statutory tort liability limits
only to the extent of the city's coverage.
Of course,that's not to say that there is no risk that the city's liability could exceed its coverage
limits.We listed earlier a number of ways that could happen to any city.But the waiver doesn't
increase that risk.
5
Can we waive the statutory tort limits for the primary coverage but not for the excess
coverage?
No.If the city decides to waive the statutory tort limits,that waiver applies to the full extent of
the coverage limits the city has.The city cannot partially waive the statutory limits.
I'm confused.Is there a simple way to summarize the options?
.It's not necessarily simple,but the table on the following page is a shorthand summary of what
the effect would be of the various coverage structure options in different circumstances.
I'm still confused.Who can I talk to?
Give us a call at the League office.Pete Tritz,Tom Grundhoefer,Bi11 Everett,Doug GronIi,or
any ofLMCIT's property/casualty underwriters will be glad to talk with you.

ITEM: Approval of an application for an exempt permit to conduct raffles
for the Falcon Heights Elementary PTSA
SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator
REVEIWED BY: Roland Olson, Finance Director
EXPLANATION:
The Falcon Heights Elementary PTSA (Parent, Teachers, and Student Association) desires to
hold raffles at their annual event February 9, 2007 to be held at the Falcon Heights Elementary
School. Since the dollar value of the prizes are expected to be over $1,500, an exempt permit to
hold lawful gambling activity is required. The Falcon Heights Elementary PTSA is asking the
City to approve their application to conduct this lawful gambling activity. They are requesting
the approval be with no waiting period so the raffle tickets can be printed and the students can
start selling them as soon as possible.
Because the gambling premises is within the city limits, the city must sign on the LG220
Application Form. There are three choices for the city: (1) The City approves the application
with no waiting period. (2) The City approves the application with a 30 day waiting period, and
allows the Board to issue a permit after 30 days. (3) The City denies the application. Once the
City signs their approval of the application, the organization would then submit it to MN Lawful
Gambling Board. The Board usually completes their process within a couple of days and mails
out the permit or arranges with the organization to pick it up at the Board’s office. The
organization must also complete a Financial Report that must be returned to MN Lawful
Gambling within 30 days of the gambling activity.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve this temporary permit request with no waiting period by the Falcon Heights Elementary
PTSA to conduct lawful gambling activity at their annual event to be held February 9, 2007 at
the Falcon Heights Elementary School.

This is in response to your request of March 15,2004 regarding a copy of your organization's group exemption
letter.
In Augus.1945 we issued a determination letter that recognized your organization as exempt from federal
income tax.Our records indicate that your organization is currently exempt under section 501(c)(3)of the
Internal Revenue Code.
n",sed on the information supplied,we recognized the subordinates named on the list your organization
.t:mitted as exempt from federal income tax under section 501 (c)(3)of the Code.Additionally,we have
classified the subordinates your organization operates,supervises,or controls,and which are covered by
written notification to us,as organizations that are not private foundations because they are organizations of
the type described in sections 509(a)(1)and 170(b)(1 )(A)(vi)of the Code.
Dcnors may deduct contributions to your organization's subordinates as provided in section 170 of the Code.
Beques.s.legacies,devises,transfers or gifts to the subordinates or for their use are deductible for federal
estate and gift tax purposes if they meet the applicable provisions of sections 2055,2106,and 2522 of the
Cece.
Ys~:s:~2nizaticn and its su!::ordinates are required to file Form 990,Return of Organization Exempt from
Income Tax,only if the gross receipts each year are normally more than $25,000.If a return is required,it must
be fiied by the 15th day of the fifth month after the end of the organization's annual accounting period.The law
impcses a penalty of $20 a day,up to a maximum of $10,000,when a return is filed late,unless there is
reascnatie cause for the delay.
Your or~anization and its subordinates are not required to file federal income tax returns unless subj.ect to the
tax on unrelated business income under section 511 of the Code.If subject to this tax,the organization must
fiie an income tax return on Form 990-T,Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return.In this letter,we
are not cetermining whether any of your organization or its subordinates'present or proposed activities are
unrelated trade or business as defined in section 513 of the Code.

ITEM: Approval of Consultant Contract with SEH for Comprehensive Plan
Update Engineering Services
SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator
EXPLANATION:
Part of the requirements for the 2008 Comprehensive Plan update include technical work related
to our utility, transportation, and water management systems. The scope of this work is outside
the expertise of city staff, so proposals were solicited from engineering consultants to complete
this work. Staff received proposals from three firms, which are detailed below:
Short Elliot Hendrickson (SEH) $21,426
WSB Associates $39,000
Bolton & Menk, Inc. $67,000
All three firms were asked to submit proposals that would produce reports which could be
directly incorporated into our overall submission to the Metropolitan Council. Both city staff
and our city engineer have had past experience with SEH and are comfortable working with
them.
Attached is an agreement for professional engineering services that has been drafted by the city
attorney. It is an hourly not-to-exceed contract, so the final amount could come in less than what
it proposed. We have budgeted $30,000 in the 2007 Capital Improvements Plan for
comprehensive plan updates. There will be more comprehensive plan update work involved
regarding land use issues, but at this point staff believes most of it can be performed in-house.

Dear Mr.Miller:
OCT 0 2 2006
RE:City of Falcon Heights
Utility,Transportation,and Water
Resources Management Plan Updates
SEH No.PF ALC0070 1.00 10.00
The City of Falcon Heights is committed to enhancing the quality of life for residents and businesses.An
important part of following through with this commitment is the ability to plan for and provide adequate
public utility services.The City is showing this commitment as preparation of updating the City's
Comprehensive Plan gets underway.
Short Elliott Hendrickson,Inc.(SEH)is pleased to be a partner with the City on this important work and
appreciates the opportunity to submit a proposal for updating your Comprehensive Plan in the areas of
utilities,transportation,and stormwater management.We are ready to roll up our sleeves and assist you
in getting this job completed.
Based on a review of the City's current Comprehensive Plan along with an assessment of the latest
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES)guidance,we have assembled the following work
program,which will result in a functional working document that meets the City's needs and addresses
MCES requirements.The work program has been structured to reflect the items included in the
Metropolitan Council's Local Planning Handbook.
The scope of work for this proposal includes updating the Utility,Transportation,and Water Resources
Management section of the City's current Comprehensive Plan.The individual tasks to be completed for
each of these sections is further discussed in the Scope of Work section of our proposal.It is our
understanding that the remaining sections of the City's Comprehensive Plan will be updated by others.
Project team members have been carefully selected because their special talents specifically relate to the
needs of your project.The Utility Plan update effort will be lead by Project Manager Jay Murzyn,PE.
The update to the Water Resources Management Plan will be lead by Ron Leaf,PE assisted by Erin
Krueger,PE.The Transportation update will be lead by Chris Hiniker,AICP.Members of our team have
worked with the City on past successful projects and have thoroughly enjoyed working with City staff.
Dave Halter will serve as Client Service Manager for the City.He has the ability to first and foremost be
your advocate.This means that he is working constantly to ensure a seamless delivery of services that
meets the City's goals.

SCOPE OF WORK
I.Comprehensive Utility Plan
Task 1.Initial Planning Meeting
Selected SEH team members will attend a kick-off meeting with the City staff to discuss the existing
sanitary sewer system and plans for future redevelopment.Some of the items to be discussed at the
meeting are impacts of the redevelopment to the City's sanitary sewer collection system and evaluations
and analyses ofthe City's lift station.
Task 2.Data Collection and Review
Review as-built drawings of sanitary sewer collection system.
Proposed land use,zoning maps and City population projections will also be reviewed to aid in
identifying future redevelopment demands on the system.It is our understanding that the city is at or near
its ultimate service area boundary pending some redevelopment.
Evaluate the condition of the sanitary sewer collection system by reviewing recent CCTV inspection tapes
provided by the City.The capacity of the collection system will be evaluated in areas planned for
redevelopment.
Evaluate the physical condition of the lift station.A visual inspection will identify the structural
condition and will recommend whether further testing will be necessary.A visual inspection of piping,
valves,heating and ventilation will identify the mechanical condition of the station.Pump records will be
reviewed to evaluate the pump cycles.
Evaluate existing electrical service and assess its ability to serve the station.SEH will visually inspect
electrical gear and compare existing technology to current technology.Amperage readings to determine
pump conditions will be obtained.The existing instrumentation and control system will be evaluated.
Analyze the sewer system's ability to convey the existing and future sewage flow.The quantity of flow
currently received on an annual average,maximum month,peak hour and peak instantaneous will be
determined for each lift station in the following manner:
I .Review pump run time records of the lift stations.
2.Calculate pump capacity by performing a pump down test.
3.Calculate flow by multiplying pump capacity by run times.
4.Calculate theoretical flow for each service area using development type and water usage.
5.Compare theoretical flow to measured flow.Apply appropriate theoretical peaking factors to
estimate maximum hourly and peak instantaneous flow.
The pump-down test will require ajoint effort between the City and SEH.SEH will furnish and operate
drawdown gauges and timing devices and will perform the calculations.The City will provide access to
the stations and furnish staff to operate the pumps.
Justin Miller
October 2,2006
Page 3
Task 3.Population/Demand Projections
The City will provide population projections.The SEH team will use this information to determine 2030
flow projections.Peaking factors for maximum day,peak hour and how these peaking factors would
affect the sanitary sewer system will also be established.
Task 4.Capital Improvement Planning
Assemble a 5 year and 10 year capital improvements plan for the sanitary sewer system.Costs will be
estimated in 2006 dollars for planning purposes.The CIP will include improvements to the facilities that
were reviewed as part of this study.
II.Water Resources Management Plan
We understand that the overall goal of this effort is to update the 'Water Resources'section of the City's
Comprehensive Plan.The City is required by Metropolitan Council to include a section on 'Surface
Water'in the Comprehensive Plan.While the City does not currently have a separate document that
serves as its Local Water Management Plan,the City effectively uses the Capitol Region Watershed
District's Stormwater Management Plan as a guide in managing its stormwater system.
Most of the City is located within the Capitol Region Watershed District,with a small portion located in
the Rice Creek Watershed District.Both watershed districts require permitting for construction projects
within their jurisdictions,and under Minnesota Statute 8410 City's are required to develop local water
management plans within two years of adoption of water management plans by the watershed districts
who have jurisdiction in the City.The Capitol Region Stormwater Management Plan was adopted in
2000,and the Rice Creek Watershed District Water Management Plan was adopted in 1997.
Because the City's program is effectively managed through these watershed district plans,our scope of
work does not include completion of a stand-alone Surface Water Management Plan.Instead,we are
proposing to use the existing information included in the Capitol Region and the Rice Creek Watershed
District's Plans to summarize information related to stormwater management and incorporate key
elements of the program into the Comprehensive Plan section on water resources.Our scope has two
main tasks as outlined below.
Task 1:Data Collection and Review
Data collection and review tasks include:
I.Compile information,rules,and standards from the Rice Creek and Capitol Region Watershed
District Plans.
2.Compile existing storm sewer system maps and information.
3.Compile available existing water resources-related agreements.
4.Review City Code and Ordinances relating to surface water management.
Task 2:Surface Water Section Development
We will prepare a summary of the information collected in Task 1 into the four categories listed below.
We will prepare a draft for review by City staff and a final version as described.
I.Land and Water Resources Inventory.Summarize information included in the Rice Creek and
Capitol Region Watershed District Plans that pertain to the City of Falcon Heights.Incorporate
Justin Miller
October 2,2006
Page 4
figures into the section,including watershed boundaries,stormwater system map,soils
information,etc.
2.Goals and Policies.Adopt Capitol Region Watershed District's goals and policies.Coordinate
goals and policies with the Rice Creek Watershed District and obtain approval.
3.Implementation Plan.Summarize City's current surface water management program,including
funding options and identified capitol improvement projects.
4.Identify Existing and Potential Water Resources Related Problems.Coordinate information with
the Capitol Region and the Rice Creek Watershed Districts.Include problem areas identified by
the watershed districts and the City of Falcon Heights.
Optional Task 3:Surface Water Plan Coordination with Watershed Districts.
If requested by one or both of the watershed districts to prepare a formal,separate Surface Water
Management Plan,we can provide assistance with those efforts.We will provide the City with an
estimate of the effort needed upon reviewing a request by the watershed district(s).
III.Transportation Plan
Task 1:Review and Refine the Functional Classification System
The latest Metropolitan Council functional classification network will be reviewed to determine if there
are inconsistencies with the existing plan and the rationale for the inconsistencies.It is assumed that a
network consistent with the Metropolitan Council's system will be defined and mapped.The map will
include the following:
I.Existing and proposed number of lanes,
2.Current daily traffic counts (from existing data),and
3.Forecast 2030 traffic volumes (see Task 2.0 for forecast methodology).
Task 2:Develop Year 2030 Traffic Forecasts
The Metropolitan Council guidance provides two options for developing traffic forecasts.The first,
recommended for developing communities,is using the regional traffic model.The second option,
recommended for developed and rural communities,is a trend analysis.Given this guidance,we propose
updating traffic forecasts within the community using a trend analysis.As part of this task a map will be
prepared that presents existing and year 2030 traffic volumes.
Task 3:Identify Operational and Facility Concerns
Using the traffic forecast data,the available accident data,and through coordination with Mn/DOT and
Ramsey County,SEH will complete an assessment of existing and forecast operational concerns
throughout the community.The first step in the process will be to identify the existing and forecast
congestion issues assuming no system improvements.The second step will be to identify the safety hot-
spots across the City.Next,the planned improvements to the regional highway system and local road
network will be identified to determine which operational issues will remain after the planned State,
County,and City improvements are implemented.
Task 4:Review and Refine the Access Management Guidelines
The access management elements included in the previous plan will be reviewed and refined as needed.
Justin Miller
October 2,2006
Page 5
Task 5:Review and Refine the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
The existing plan will be reviewed to ensure it meets the following Metropolitan Council guidelines:
I.Includes a description of the City's policies and plans regarding bicycle and pedestrian systems
and programs.
2.Includes a map showing on-road and off-road bikeways such as signed routes,striped on-street
bicycle lanes,and off-road bicycle or multi-use paths.
3.Includes a description of bicycle and pedestrian accessibility to transit corridors and transit
facilities.
Task 6:Complete a Transit Assessment
The transit related requirements have been expanded and include the following:
1.Describe existing transit routes and paratransit services.
2.Identify the City's transit market as documented in the Transportation Policy Plan.
3.Include a policy that the City will work with Metro Transit to determine future transit services
consistent with the City's transit market and its associated service standards and strategies.
4.Provide a map of the existing and planned transit corridors included in the Transportation Policy
Plan.
5.Provide a map that illustrates the following:
•Existing and programmed park-and-ride facilities;
•Potential park-and-ride facility sites;
•Existing and planned passenger facilities such as transit centers and stations;
•Transit support facilities such as maintenance facilities and garages.
Task 6:Review and Refine the Aviation Elements
No analysis is anticipated to be required to address this portion of the Metropolitan Council guidelines.
Throughout the process SEH will work closely with the City staff as.well as coordinate with the other
involved agencies (Metropolitan Council,Ramsey County,and Mn/DOT),to ensure all requirements are
satisfied and the document reflects the format and content needs of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
MATERIALS AND TASKS PROVIDED BY THE CITY
1.Historical population data and population projections.
2.Maps of City including overall water system,current land use,proposed land use,current zoning,and
available topographic mapping provided in AutoCad format if available.
3.GIS/CAD electronic data on existing systems.

ITEM: Amendments to Solicitor Ordinance
SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator
EXPLANATION:
During recent city code recodification discussions, the City Council asked staff and legal counsel
to review our current solicitor ordinance and to bring back suggested revisions. Staff presented a
draft ordinance at the September 27th City Council meeting, and we are bringing back for
consideration a new ordinance incorporating Council’s comments. Key points of the new
ordinance include:
• A license shall be required for each person asking to solicit goods within the City. The
application for such permit will ask for name and physical description of the applicant,
address, nature of business, name of employer, dates and hours of operation, source of
goods, statement asking about past criminal history, and previous municipalities that the
applicant has worked in.
• A background check will be performed by the St. Anthony Police Department. If past
criminal activity is shown, the license application can be denied.
• All solicitors must carry identification as well as their license and show it when
requested.
• Hours of operation are limited to 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. (same as current ordinance)
• Residents not wanting solicitors to approach their homes can display a “Peddlers and
Solicitors Prohibited” sign, which must be obeyed.
• Licenses can be revoked by the City Administrator for unlawful behavior, incorrect
statements on the application form, or for violating terms of the license. Solicitors who
have their license revoked can request a hearing within ten (10) days of receiving notice.
If, in the discretion of the City Administrator, imminent harm to the health or public
safety of the public may occur because of the actions of the solicitor, the license may be
revoked prior to the public hearing being held.
• People engaging in the following activities are exempt from these regulations:
• Selling personal property at wholesale to dealers in such articles
• Selling newspaper subscriptions
• Non-profit, religious, political, or educational organizations
• Taking orders in connection with a regular route for the sale and delivery of
perishable daily necessities
