City Council Meeting Minutes
April 26, 2006
Members Present: Mayor Gehrz, Council members Kuettel, Talbot, Lindstrom and Harris,
Administrator Worthington, Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk Kreuser, City Engineer
Bloom, and Parks and Public Works Director Hoag.
Mayor Gehrz called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
The minutes from the April 12, 2006 city council meeting were approved as corrected by
Council member Kuettel.
Public Hearing: Hamline/Hoyt Reconstruction Project
City Engineer Bloom gave an overview of the project with a presentation to the council. She
reported the total cost of the project will be $459,146.44, with MSA funds producing
$442,326.62, and assessments bringing in $16,819.82. Construction will begin after the State
Fair.
Council member Talbot pointed out that if Falcon Heights streets were not 100% MSA, then the
funding would have to come from infrastructure funds. He then asked what the assessment fees
would be if Falcon Heights did not get MSA funding. After some quick math, Engineer Bloom
replied it would be at least $100 per frontage foot, in comparison to the $26.50 currently
charged.
Council member Lindstrom asked how long the project would take. Engineer Bloom replied
about 6-8 weeks.
Mayor Gehrz opened the public hearing. No resident were present. Mayor Gehrz then closed
the public hearing.
Consent Agenda:
Council member Harris asked about the location of the Chianti Grill encroachment.
Administrator Worthington replied the right-of-way is the full width of the St. Mary’s Street, up
to Larpenteur.
Council member Harris added that she is in favor of the reclassification for Deb Jones, “she’s
excellent!”
Council member Talbot moved to approve the following six items. The motion was
unanimously approved.
1. General Disbursements through 4/20/06: $73,905.37
Payroll through 4/15/06: $13,492.37
2. 2006 License Approval
3. Reclassification and salary increase for Zoning and Planning Coordinator
4. Donation of $50 from Diane Ross
5. Memorandum of Understanding with Little Canada for Falcon Heights
City Administrator recruitment
6. Encroachment Agreement with Chianti Grill
Policy Agenda:
Mayor Gehrz asked the council’s permission to add policy item G3, joint powers agreement with
the City of Saint Paul, for maintenance of street and sewer facilities on Hamline and Hoyt
Avenues. The council agreed to add the item.
1. Resolution ordering the reconstruction of Hamline-Hoyt and approving the Cooperative
Construction Agreement with the City of St. Paul
Administrator Worthington gave the highlights of the resolution, with the assessable portion of
the project at $203,804.92. She noted the actual project cost was under the budgeted amount for
the project.
Council member Lindstrom added that after this project, the street system will be completely
restructured, but Administrator Worthington stated the assessment policy would need to be
amended in the future.
Engineer Bloom reported that Falcon Heights has a great maintenance strategy, and there is no
reason streets should not last 20-25 years with maintenance. She added that a new policy should
be revisited before there is a need, so with the new administrator she would suggest next year.
Council member Kuettel moved to approve resolution 06-11 ordering the reconstruction of
Hamline-Hoyt and approving the Cooperative Construction Agreement with the City of St. Paul.
The motion was unanimously approved.
2. Resolution adopting Vehicle Pre-emption System installation agreement for the
Roselawn Avenue and Snelling Avenue intersection, between the City of Falcon Heights,
City of Roseville, and State of Minnesota
Engineer Bloom began the item by explaining that Roselawn and Snelling is the only intersection
left without emergency sensors in Falcon Heights, which allow fire, police, and ambulance to
change signals using a special strobe light mounted on their vehicles. She added that Roseville
had passed the agreement at their April 24 City Council meeting.
Council member Kuettel asked how much of the cost Falcon Heights would be responsible for,
and Engineer Bloom replied the total cost is $5300, so each city would pay $2750 to install, and
then the State would maintain the system. She explained that the initial estimate for the system
was $10,000, but since Roselawn is being reconstructed and the system would be installed during
the construction, the cost is less. A left turn lane at eastbound Roselawn onto Snelling will be
added as well.
A discussion on timing of the stoplights on Snelling commenced.
Council member Lindstrom moved to approve resolution 06-12, adopting vehicle pre-emption
system installation for the Roselawn Avenue and Snelling Avenue intersection, between the City
of Falcon Heights, City of Roseville, and State of Minnesota. The motion passed unanimously.
3. Joint powers agreement with the City of Saint Paul, for maintenance of street and sewer
facilities on Hamline and Hoyt Avenues
Parks and Public Works Director Hoag gave an overview of the agreement, stating that Falcon
Heights will handle the winter maintenance of the streets, including snow and ice removal, and
St. Paul will do summer work, including seal coating and sweeping.
Council member Kuettel asked about the response Falcon Heights can expect to get from St.
Paul. Parks and Public Works Director Hoag replied that proper communication plans are in
place, and St. Paul has agreed to respectable response times. Falcon Heights public works will
monitor their response times, and provisions are laid out in the agreement.
Administrator Worthington added that currently there is only a handshake agreement between
the two cities, and because of this document they will be more responsive.
Council member Harris asked who drafted the agreement. Hoag replied that St. Paul amended
an agreement they had with West St. Paul, and both cities and their attorneys reviewed the
document.
Mayor Gehrz suggested something of this nature be pursued in the next year or so with Roseville
for Roselawn Avenue. Hoag replied the cities are close to putting something in writing, and after
the reconstruction it will be easier to lay out responsibilities.
Council member Harris moved to approve resolution 06-13, joint powers agreement with the
City of Saint Paul, for maintenance of street and sewer facilities on Hamline and Hoyt Avenues.
The motion passed unanimously.
Information/Announcements:
Council member Lindstrom announced the Bio Blitz will be May 19th at 5 p.m. at the future Bell
Museum site on Cleveland and Larpenteur. The Blitz is a race to document as many species as
possible in 24 hours. Parks and Public Works Director Hoag added that Community Park will be
monitored for wildlife that day as well.
Council member Talbot announced the selection process for the CTV scholarships has started.
Mayor Gehrz invited the public to the April 27 CERT training on evacuation training. She also
reminded residents of the May 13th Treasures tour, and asked residents to watch for the flyers.
Lastly, she gave an update on the city administrator hiring process. There were 40 applicants,
narrowed down to 12 by Joel Hanson, and Mayor Gehrz and Heather Worthington interviewed
those 12. The 12 were narrowed to five, and council member Lindstrom, Mayor Gehrz,
commissioners and staff interviewed these and selected three to bring before the entire council.
The council will interview these three finalists at their May 10 meeting. Councilors will receive
packets with the finalist’s resumes, assessment information from PDI, and the interview
questions before the 10th. Any question suggestions can be passed along to Mayor Gehrz before
Friday, May 5 at noon. A special open council meeting on May 17th has been scheduled to
deliberate and come to a conclusion.
Mayor Gehrz asked the council’s permission to reimburse mileage for those finalists traveling
long distances, along with a per diem for a hotel room, if needed. Council member Talbot
moved to approve this, and the motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Gehrz adjourned the meeting at 8:20 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Stacey Kreuser
Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk

SUBMITTED BY: Greg Hoag, Parks and Public Works Director
REVIEWED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator
EXPLANATION:
Summary: Colin Callahan has completed eight years of employment with the city, five years as
a permanent employee. Colin has had excellent performance during this period.
Colin is a key member to our maintenance staff. His primary duties include mowing, plowing,
building maintenance, and ice rink maintenance. His knowledge of the city and its facilities has
been invaluable to the city’s residents, employees, and business owners.
Colin has shown excellent judgment, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to take on new duties
and responsibilities as needed.
At this time, I am recommending a 3% step increase for Colin, which is in accordance with the
city’s compensation policy of an increase after five years of full-time employment.

ITEM: Purchase of used utility cart
SUBMITTED BY: Greg Hoag, Director of Parks and Public Works
REVIEWED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator
EXPLANATION:
Summary: During the 2006 budget discussions, staff recommended purchasing a used utility
cart with a drag attachment for grooming ball fields. The City Council approved $7,000.00 for
this purchase in the 2006 budget.
Our maintenance operations often have staff working in different locations, and while we
presently have two full size trucks, the addition of the utility cart will be another transportation
vehicle to use when we add our summer seasonal help.
The City of Little Canada has available for sale a used 1996 Jacobsen utility cart with a field
drag attachment. Staff has inspected this vehicle and it will serve our needs well.
ATTACHMENT:
• Picture of proposed vehicle
ACTION REQUESTED:
• Approve the purchase of a used 1996 Jacobsen SV3422 utility cart from the City of Little
Canada in the amount of $4,400.00 plus tax, for a total of $4,686.00.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gehrz & Members of the City Council
FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator
DATE: May 5, 2006
RE: City Administrator Interviews/Process Update
Forty applications were received for the City Administrator position. A ranking process was
done on each application. The rankings were reviewed with Mayor Gehrz and City
Administrator Worthington. Based upon that review, 12 candidates were selected for further
screening by the Mayor and City Administrator. That screening resulted in seven candidates
being selected for panel interview stage. Two of those chose to withdraw.
Panel interviews were conducted on May 1st and May 2nd. One panel consisted of elected
officials/commission members. The other panel was made up of staff representatives. That
process yielded two choices that far outdistanced the other applicants. A third was selected to
complete the interview field, but after several attempts to contact him, he finally responded on
May 5th indicating he is finalizing an employment agreement with another community and
wishes to withdraw. Therefore, only two candidates will be present to interview with you on
May 10th. They are Mr. Justin Miller, Assistant City Manager in Chanhassen, and Mr. Edward
Treska, City Administrator of Grand Rapids. (Copies of their application materials and panel
interview commentary are attached for your review.)
Other testing/checking is being done on the two candidates. Criminal background checks,
references, credit checks, and academic verification are presently being done. Personnel
Decisions International (PDI) is also running the two candidates through a barrage of
management tests. This information will be presented for your consideration after the May 10th
interviews.
I will be present at your meeting of May 17th to provide whatever assistance you deem necessary
in making your selection decision. Should you have any comments or questions in the
meantime, please contact me at (651) 766-4040.

Interview Questions for the Finalists for the Position of City Administrator
1. LAURA - The City Administrator has an important role in providing information
about Falcon Heights. Imagine that a friend of yours who has never been to Minnesota
asks you to tell them what the City of Falcon Heights is like. What would you say?
2. RICK - Imagine you are taking us on a tour of a city in which you have worked. What
are some things that you have worked on and would want us to see?
3. PAM - In December of every year we hold a Truth in Taxation Hearing at which time
our City Administrator presents information about the proposed city budget for the
upcoming year. What do you think are the three most important things that the
taxpayers of the city want to learn from that presentation?
4. PETER - During the next 12 months the city will be revising the Comprehensive Plan
that will guide future changes in zoning, housing, roads, parks, sewers, environmental
protection, utilities, economic development, and other land uses. This is a very
important process in which we want to engage our residents and business owners.
What ideas do you have for how we can get people to participate in this process?
5. SUE - City Councils have to deal with many difficult and controversial issues. In my
experience, the most difficult issues are any that involve animals. Why do you think
that is so?
6. RICK - Enforcing city codes can also be very challenging. City staff members often
find themselves in the middle of resident conflicts about how people maintain their
property. What is your preferred approach to code enforcement?
13
7. PETER - Our City Administrator must be able to write letters to our legislators
describing how proposed changes in state or federal laws will affect the taxpayers of
Falcon Heights. Sometimes letters are not enough and it becomes necessary for our
Mayor and City Administrator to testify in legislative committees and meet with
legislators. Can you describe your experience in lobbying on behalf of a community?
8. LAURA - Imagine a situation in which a Falcon Heights staff member makes a mistake
that causes some embarrassment for the mayor and city council members. What is the
role of the City Administrator in that situation?
9. PAM – One of our goals is to provide responsive city government. This means that our
City Administrator must have very good time management skills. What tools or
techniques do you use to manage the many details and deadlines required for your
job?
14
10. SUE – Falcon Heights has been able to provide a very high quality of public services at
a very reasonable cost because of our ability to partner with neighboring cities and the
county. We currently have cost sharing contracts with St. Anthony, Roseville, Saint
Paul, Lauderdale, Little Canada, and Ramsey County. What personal characteristics
would you bring to this job that could help us maintain effective partnerships with so
many of our neighboring communities?
11. LAURA - The job of a City Administrator is very demanding. There are many
evening meetings and stressful situations. You have already experienced some of that.
What helps you cope and manage stress?
12. RICK - What do you think would be the biggest challenges for you in this job?
15
13. PETER – Why are you interested in being the City Administrator of Falcon Heights?
14. PAM – Is there anything else that you would want us and our residents to know about
you?
16
