Mayor Gehrz asked to add an item to the policy agenda. Consideration of a contract with the

policy item G2.
Policy Agenda:
1. Consideration of a contract for police services with the City of St. Anthony
Administrator Worthington began the item by giving an overview of the changes in the contract.
Council member Lindstrom asked about special cases, and wanted to know if the contract amount
was set no matter what happened. Administrator Worthington replied that in special
circumstances, the police department would likely approach the City to recover their costs. She
added that some money is built-in, but serious situations are not covered. Council member Harris
added the contract does not leave Falcon Heights open to pay for anything.
Mayor Gehrz stated that the level of service is not changing, but the increase in cost is due to
rising health and dental insurance premiums, along with salary increases. The Falcon Heights
portion of the total police services (Lauderdale, St. Anthony, and Falcon Heights) is 22 percent,
and there is a car in our borders 24-hours a day.
Council member Lindstrom asked about back-up coming to Falcon Heights if one of the on-duty
officers had a court hearing, went downtown with a warrant arrest, etc. Administrator
Worthington replied that another officer from Lauderdale or St. Anthony would come over if
needed.
Council member Talbot asked how often payments are made. Administrator Worthington replied
the City is invoiced monthly by St. Anthony.
Mayor Gehrz then went on to explain the police coverage during the State Fair and the MSRA
50’s event. She stated the Fair reimburses St. Anthony for policing during the Fair, etc., and in
turn the savings are passed along to Falcon Heights. She said the amounts were about $12-15,000
for the Fair and $3,000 for the MSRA event.
Council member Talbot asked about if the football stadium is built on the U campus and people
park at the State Fair, how Falcon Heights would deal with added traffic. Mayor Gehrz replied
that in the impact study, the U said they would reimburse for any extra public safety fees
incurred.
Council member Harris added that the budget numbers for St. Anthony supported the increase in
fees, and Falcon Heights got to see, item-by-item, where the added funds were going.
Council member Talbot moved to approve the contract for police services with the City of St.
Anthony. The motion unanimously was approved.
2. Consideration of a contract with the Aimee Gourlay of the Mediation Center for Dispute
Resolution at Hamline University
Administrator Worthington gave an overview of the need for a mediator, and stated the
importance of a 3rd party neutral. She added Ms. Gourlay is educated, experienced, and has
worked with the City before on the solid waste collection topic.
Council member Kuettel moved to approve the contract with the Aimee Gourlay of the Mediation
Center for Dispute Resolution at Hamline University. The motion passed unanimously.
Information/Announcements:
Council member Lindstrom applauded the Falcon Heights Elementary 2nd/3rd graders for their
work in recycling their organic materials and giving it to a hog farmer in the area. He also
reported the Falcon Heights Food Drive collected over 1,000 pounds of food for the Keystone
Food Shelf. He thanked the Lions, residents, and City Staff.
Council member Kuettel thanked those to sent cards or called while she was sick. She also stated
the planning commission will be active in the drive-through study, along with council and staff.
Council member Talbot urged college students to apply for the Cable Commission scholarships
and to apply for paid internships by going to www.ctv15.org.
Mayor Gehrz reported the Active Living Ramsey County group on walkable communities is
meeting in Roseville on May 8 from 1-5 p.m. and in Lauderdale on May 9 from 1-5 p.m. She
also added the Treasures of Falcon Heights tour on May 13 is looking for volunteers. Call City
Hall to get on the list. Lastly, she announced the farewell party for Heather Worthington will be
held May 12 from 4-6 p.m. Everyone is welcome.
Administrator Worthington reminded residents of the moratorium study to be held April 13 at
6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
The meeting was adjourned by Mayor Gehrz at 7:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Stacey Kreuser

ITEM: Hamline/Hoyt Public Hearing
SUBMITTED BY: Deb Bloom, City Engineer

Explanation:
On March 8, 2006, the City Council received the feasibility report for the Hamline Hoyt
Reconstruction Project and ordered the public hearing. Prior to opening the hearing, staff will
present general information regarding construction, standards, and assessments that apply for this
project.
The cities of Falcon Heights and St. Paul are proposing to completely reconstruct Hoyt between
Snelling and Pascal Avenue, and Mill and overlay Hoyt between Pascal and Hamline Avenue.
Hamline Avenue is being completely reconstructed between Larpenteur Avenue and Hoyt
Avenue. We are also reconstructing Snelling Avenue Service Drive between Hoyt Avenue and
Curtiss Field. To date, two meetings have been held with Falcon Heights property owners. The
final assessment hearing will be held in the fall for this project.

ITEM: Reclassification and salary increase for Zoning and Planning Coordinator
SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Roland Olson, Finance Director
EXPLANATION:
Summary: Deborah Jones, our Zoning and Planning Coordinator, will mark her five-year
anniversary with the City on May 15. Deborah has been an exceptional employee during her
tenure with the city, and has taken on many new responsibilities, including the coordination of the
recodification project, staffing of the Planning Commission, and the recent re-working of the
city’s website. Deborah always cheerfully takes on new roles and responsibilities, and is a very
thorough and accountable employee. In addition, Deborah manages our planning consultant, and
works extensively with the city attorney to ensure that the legal review of planning matters
coming before the Planning Commission are accomplished.
In recognition of these continuing, and additional responsibilities, I am recommending that
Deborah be reclassified to the Zoning and Planning Director. In a standard review of these
positions in the Metro area for Group 7 Cities in the Stanton Salary Survey, the following
information was gathered:
Zoning and Planning Coordinator
Stanton Comparison: Planner - Advanced, Director of Planning
Job Duties: Coordination of all planning and zoning activities, including supervision of consultants.
Enforcement of nuisance ordinances, planning and zoning work, website development and
maintenance.
Comparison City Population Weighted Mean Title Yearly
Waconia 9100 32.60 Planning Dir. 67,808
Shorewood 7540 36.89 Planning Dir. 76,731

Watertown 3700 18.54 Planner 38,563
Lake Elmo 7666 32.58 Planner/Asst. Adm. 67,766
Average 27.76 57,750
90% of Average 24.99 51,975
Per the City Council’s stated policy of compensating employees at 90% of the Metro Group 7
Cities Average, I am therefore recommending that Deborah receive a salary increase equal to
$10,105, spread over a two-year period, commencing on May 15, 2006, commensurate with
performance. This would be $5,052.50 in year one, and the same amount on May 15, 2007.
During this time period, Deborah would continue to be eligible for the standard 3% cost of living
increase that all permanent part-time and full-time employees are eligible for, and which is based
on performance reviews conducted by the employee’s supervisor.
ACTION REQUESTED:
• Approve reclassification of Deborah Jones to Zoning and Planning Director, and increase
compensation $5,052.50 as of May 15, 2006. Additionally, authorize City Administrator
to approve an increase of $5,052.50 on May 15, 2007, pending outcome of performance
evaluation.

ITEM: Donation of $50 from Diane Ross
SUBMITTED BY: Greg Hoag, Parks and Public Works Director
REVIEWED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator
EXPLANATION:
Summary: In early January staff was contacted by a resident to look at a hazardous boulevard
tree at her address. Our Public Works staff reviewed the tree and found a large branch hanging
from the main trunk of the tree, and it was determined by staff that the entire tree should be
removed.
Staff contacted our tree removal contractor to remove the tree, and it was removed in early April.
While they were removing the tree Ms. Ross phoned the Public Works department to inquire
about options to replace the tree. Staff informed her that the tree would be placed on the planting
list. Ms. Ross stated that she would make a donation to the city, and two days later the attached
thank you was received with a $50 donation.
ACTION REQUESTED:
• Acceptance of a $50 donation from Diane Ross to the Friends of the Parks Fund.

ITEM: Resolution ordering the reconstruction of Hamline-Hoyt and
approving the Cooperative Construction Agreement with the City
of St. Paul
SUBMITTED BY: Deb Bloom, City Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Greg Hoag, Parks and Public Works Director and Heather
Worthington, City Administrator
Explanation:
In 2005, Saint Paul commenced work on the Arlington/Pascal RSVP Project (Residential Street
Vitality Program) south of Falcon Heights in the Midway Parkway area. This summer, after the
State Fair, their contractor, Danner Construction, will commence work on the Falcon Heights end
of the project. This will involve work on Hamline and Hoyt Avenues, and Snelling Drive. On
Hoyt Avenue, there will be a full reconstruction of the street from Snelling Drive to Pascal. From
Pascal to Hamline Avenue, there will be a mill and overlay and some curb and gutter work.
Additionally, water, sewer, and gas utility work will occur in both areas. On Hamline Avenue,
there will be a full reconstruction of the street with an upgrade in storm sewer through the
installation of a larger storm sewer pipe from Iowa to Idaho Avenues. On Snelling Drive, there
will be a full reconstruction of the street, replacement of sidewalk, and an expansion of the
turnaround adjacent to Curtiss Field.
The City of Saint Paul will bill Falcon Heights for this work, which was let under an existing
contract with Danner Construction in 2005. Estimated costs for this project are currently
anticipated to be $459,146.44. These costs will be covered in the 2006 Budget from the
following sources:
Hamline Avenue—5 Year CIP $100,000
Northome Drainage—Storm Sewer Enterprise Fund $466,000
Total $566,000
These budget numbers were estimates, and costs for the project came in lower than anticipated.
Saint Paul has requested that the City Council approve the Cooperative Construction Agreement,
which outlines the scope of work, the legal considerations, and all necessary construction
provisions. The breakdown of costs is as follows:
Assessable portion of project costs (Hoyt and Snelling Service Drive) $203,804.92
(Referenced in the Resolution)
Total Project costs $459,146.44
This work includes storm sewer improvements that were identified in the Como 7 Subwatershed
Analysis (referenced in the agreement), and cost-shared between Saint Paul, Falcon Heights,
Roseville, the Capitol Region Watershed District and Ramsey County. A copy of this analysis is
available for review at City Hall, and is not attached to the agreement contained within this
agenda.

ITEM: 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
SUBMITTED BY: Greg Hoag, Director of Parks & Public Works
REVIEWED BY: Deb Bloom, City Engineer City of Roseville
EXPLANATION:
On September 28, 2005 the City Council approved an agreement with MnDOT and Roseville
for the maintenance and operation of this signal. This spring, we will start the Roselawn
Avenue Reconstruction project. As a part of this project, we will be installing an Emergency
Vehicle Pre-emption (EVP) System on the signal located at the Roselawn and Snelling
Avenue intersection. These systems are very important for Emergency vehicle response
times and intersection safety. The EVP emitters allow for police, fire, and ambulances to
over ride signal timing and pass through the intersection on a green light.
These devices are controlled by a white strobe light on each emergency vehicle, which emits
a signal to a receiver on the traffic light when the vehicle approaches. The traffic light will
change to green in the direction the emergency vehicle is traveling and turn red in the
opposite direction.
Costs associated with the installation of this EVP are the responsibility of the City of
Roseville and Falcon Heights and will be shared equally. These costs are included in the
contract costs for the Roselawn project. The maintenance of the EVP will be the
responsibility of the State.
These provisions are similar to all other standing signal agreements with Mn/DOT.

SUBMITTED BY: Greg Hoag, Parks and Public Works Director
REVEIWED BY: Deb Bloom, City Engineer
Heather Worthington, City Administrator
Saint Paul and Falcon Heights City Attorneys
Explanation:
The Cities of Falcon Heights and Saint Paul have received Hamline Avenue and Hoyt
Avenue as MSA turn-back roads. As a result of this turn back, the cities entered into a
discussion regarding on-going maintenance and upkeep of these roadways and sewer utilities.
The maintenance staffs from both cities have met several times to work out an agreement to
maintain these sections of roadway.
For Street Maintenance it was agreed that Falcon Heights will provide “Winter Maintenance”
which would include snow and ice control. Saint Paul will provide “Summer Maintenance”
which will include sweeping and seal coating.
As described in this document, Falcon Heights will be using sanitary and storm sewers which
are owned and maintained by Saint Paul. In return for this use, the city will pay an annual fee
to Saint Paul for use of these facilities. Exhibit D of the document shows the calculations for
this sewer use. 2006 budget implications for this are $2885.75 for both the sanitary and storm
sewer use.
