COMMUNITY FORUM Minutes of the Regular Meeting of the City Council City of Falcon Heights January 11, 2006 Mayor Gehrz called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The meeting began with the oath of office read by Mayor Gehrz, taken by incoming council members Laura Kuettel and Pam Harris. Both councilors were elected to four-year terms. PUBLIC HEARING: ROSELAWN AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION City Engineer Deb Bloom began the item by giving an overview of the project, including the properties to be assessed, layout of the project, and projected cost. Mayor Gehrz opened the hearing for questions from the council. Council member Talbot asked if there was bus service on Roselawn. Administrator Worthington replied there was not. Council member Lindstrom questioned whether the utility poles and boxes along the street and proposed pathway would cause problems with the 8-foot attached pathway. Bloom answered there were only one or two on Roselawn and they were not foreseeing the same type of problem as can be experienced on Larpenteur. Council member Talbot stated Ramsey County has responsibility to clear Roselawn after snowfalls, and with the 8-foot path, smaller city equipment will be able to handle clearing the path. Council member Kuettel asked about the crosswalk at Simpson, and where it would match up with, since there is not a matching Simpson Street across Roselawn. Bloom answered it would not match up with a street, but a curb ramp. Administrator Worthington noted the issue of the crosswalk was discussed, and the current placement for the curb ramp is the most traveled. Council member Harris asked whether there would be curb-cuts from side streets onto sidewalks. Bloom answered there would be. Bloom also stated that residents will have the opportunity to re-pour or tar driveways during the reconstruction. If approved, sanitary sewer will also be repaired during this project, and letters will be mailed to homeowners on Roselawn to take advantage of this option. Administrator Worthington added the sanitary replacement is the residential line between the home to the main, which will be encouraged to avoid cuts in new pavement. Also, it will be less costly for residents. Mayor Gehrz asked about a sidewalk between Hamline and Lexington and whether plans are underway for that area. Bloom answered that the 2008-09 reconstruction master plan will have a sidewalk going all the way through. It will be addressed by the council then. Mayor Gehrz then opened the public hearing for comments from residents. Bill Simmons, 1913 Albert St, stated he was happy with the sidewalk proposed along Roselawn, however they were disheartened by the fact that no grassy median between the curb and sidewalk was planned. He added the street will appear barren, sterile, and austere, and strongly encouraged staff to investigate options for placing flower boxes along the street for greenery. He also noted that in other cities, even those as big as New York and Chicago, few sidewalks are left without greenery to bring beauty to an otherwise sterile environment. He asked the council and staff be equally cognizant of the need for providing such amenities. Mayor Gehrz then stated in a normal process she would close the public hearing and the council would vote. However due to the holiday schedule, the notice could only be published once, instead of the required two publications. She continued the public hearing to January 25, and encouraged residents to call City Hall or a councilor if they could not attend on the 25th. The minutes from the December 14, 2005 regular council meeting were approved. CONSENT AGENDA: At the request of Council member Lindstrom, consent item F5, review and adopt Council standing rules, was moved to the policy agenda and became item G2. Council member Harris noted during discussion on item F8, the Roseville Review should be delivered to more residents in Falcon Heights. Staff will investigate the paper getting delivered farther into the City. Harris also asked about item F7, and when the raise was added to employee’s pay. Administrator Worthington replied the raise would be retroactive to January 1, based on performance evaluation. Council member Kuettel moved to approve the consent agenda. The motion passed unanimously. 1. General Disbursements through 1/06/06 $139,855.98 Payroll (12/01/05-12/15/05) $13,710.92 Payroll (12/16/05-12/31/05) $15,311.94 2. Reappointment of Detzner, Andrews and Garza to the Human Rights C o m m i s s i o n 3. Mileage reimbursement rate to 44.5 cents 4. 2006 License Renewals 6. Resolution 06-01 designating official depositories for 2006 7. Consider Resolution 06-02 approving a 3% standard compensation increase for regular employees in 2006 8. Designation of official newspaper for 2006 9. Appointment of City Engineer 10. Salary Adjustment for City Administrator POLICY AGENDA: 1. Agreement for legal services with Campbell Knutson Administrator Worthington began the item by giving an overview of the changes made to the contract. The only change, she mentioned, was the charges in fees for lawyers and law clerks. The increase for attorneys is $20 per hour, and law clerks will add $10 per hour to their fees. She added that staff is very pleased with the attorneys. Council member Harris stated that on the planning commission, Attorney Roger Knutson has been great to work with and has done a great job. She added that the rate is inexpensive compared to what he could demand. She then asked what a “pass-through” charge, as indicated in the contract, meant. Administrator Worthington replied that a pass-through would occur if Campbell Knutson had a conflict of interest in a case or a specialty they could not address, and asked a different firm to handle it. The pass-through fee of $130-$225 per hour would be the range the temporary firm could charge. Council member Kuettel moved to approve the agreement for legal services with Campbell Knutson. The motion passed unanimously. 2. Adopt Council standing rules Mayor Gehrz began the item by stating the council is not heavy on procedure. Council member Lindstrom stated he had a change on page 3, number 3. The verbiage was changed to “Those wishing to speak must identify themselves, their address, and speak into a recording microphone.” A short discussion on the procedure of the council for public hearings and motions followed. Council member Lindstrom then added the rules are used as a minimum guideline, and the council can go above if they wish. Council member Talbot moved to approve the Council standing rules as amended. The motion passed unanimously. COMMUNITY FORUM: None INFO/ANNOUNCEMENTS: Council member Talbot thanked Council member Kuettel for her years of service, and congratulated Council member Harris. He also thanked former Council member Lamb for his five years of service. Council member Kuettel reminded residents of the upcoming food drive at Falcon Heights Elementary, Jan. 30 – Feb. 3. City Hall will also be a drop-off site. Council member Lindstrom reported the Environment Commission met Jan. 9, and they decided the initiative for 2006 will be to bring back the community garden. He stated there was a lot of interest within the group, and while they were barely at the drawing board stage, he wanted to bring it to attention. Council member Harris stated the Parks/Rec Commission met Jan. 9 and got organized by drafting a “role of the commission” document. They also had discussions on the ice rinks. Mayor Gehrz announced to residents the CERT/Liasion/Commission get-together on Jan. 23 at City Hall from 7-8:30. The focus of the meeting will be the changing demographics of the neighborhoods in Falcon Heights. Speakers, discussion, and door prizes will be awarded. Also, a transportation option of the ZipCar is available to Falcon Heights residents. Lastly, she noted residents will begin seeing the new Lauderdale/St. Anthony/ Falcon Heights police cars changed over to black and white. Uniforms for the officers are now navy blue. She also stated the three cities are looking into combining $12,000 in funds for a speed cart that monitors speed trends. Administrator Worthington reported the Human Rights Commission worked on a purpose statement, and the council will see it on a February agenda. Also, she announced Waste Management will now accept pop cartons/cases during their every-other Friday recycling. She reminded residents to call if there are any recycling issues. Mayor Gehrz adjourned the meeting at 8:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Stacey Kreuser Deputy Clerk CONSENT F1 1/26/05 ITEM: Disbursements and Payroll SUBMITTED BY: Roland O.

POLICY G1 1 / 2 5 / 0 6 ITEM: Approval of Roselawn Reconstruction Project SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: Debra Bloom, City Engineer Greg Hoag, Director of Parks and Public Works EXPLANATION: Summary: On December 14, 2005, the City Council received the feasibility report for the Roselawn Avenue Reconstruction Project and ordered the public hearing. Prior to opening the hearing, staff presented general information regarding construction, standards, and assessments that apply for this project. We have held four informational meetings with property owners regarding this project since June 2005. We have worked through a number of different issues in regards to the proposed street project. In the development of the feasibility report, staff has tried to consistently apply City policy as it regards to assessments and street construction. Since this is a joint project with Roseville, a separate public hearing will be held at their City Council meetings on January 9 and 30th. In order to move forward with the reconstruction as proposed, both councils need to approve the project. Special Considerations: Every road project is unique. The feasibility report discusses many of the issues that staff has been working on with the neighborhood. Here is a summary of the recommendations. Road Alignment: Currently the road is aligned straight east/west along the Roseville/Falcon Heights City Border. Technically the jurisdiction for this road runs down the center of the existing pavement. The proposed street and sidewalk will widen the paved area within the right- of- way. Currently this road is 32 feet wide. We are proposing to construct a 34 foot wide street with a sidewalk. This will widen the traveled way by 10 feet. We propose to widen the traveled way equally on both sides of the street in order to spread the impact of the widening to both Roseville and Falcon Heights residents. Parking: We are proposing to have parking on the north side, and the sidewalk on the south side. This will provide a buffer for homes on both sides of the street from the cars traveling on the road. Sidewalk: Roselawn Avenue between Fulham Street and Victoria Street has sidewalks with the exception of the mile long segment between Snelling Avenue and Lexington Avenue. Some of the neighbors are very concerned about pedestrian safety along this segment of road. As a result of these concerns and in the interest of completing the regional sidewalk system, we are proposing to construct a sidewalk along the entire length of this project. In determining the location of the proposed sidewalk we considered the following information: • Obstructions within the right- of- way (Power poles, Hydrants, cable boxes, trees, etc.): the majority of the power poles are on the south side of the street. • Driveways: The north side of the road has 21 driveways. The south side of the road has 11 driveways. There are fewer driveway crossings on the south side of Roselawn. • Location of existing sidewalks: The Roselawn sidewalk west of Snelling is located on the south side of the road. The sidewalk along Roselawn east of Lexington is on the south side of the road. • Road alignment: If we were to put the sidewalk on the north side as well as the parking lane, the south side would still have the road 5 feet closer to the homes, but not have a buffer to the traffic. This would also shift the centerline of the road 8 feet south of the existing Roselawn centerline west of Snelling and East of Hamline creating an unsafe condition for vehicles through these intersections. If we put the sidewalk on the north side and parking on the south side, the converse would happen. The centerline of the road would be shifted 8 feet to the north of the existing Roselawn centerline west of Snelling and East of Hamline creating an unsafe condition for vehicles traveling through these intersections. As a result of this analysis we recommend that the sidewalk be constructed along the south side of the roadway. Initially we proposed to construct the sidewalk separated from the roadway by a 5-foot boulevard. At our October walk thru meeting a number of property owners were concerned about the proximity of the sidewalk to the houses. They also were concerned about maintaining the narrow strip of grass between the sidewalk and street. In the interest of addressing these concerns, we propose to construct an 8- foot wide attached concrete sidewalk, instead of the 6- foot wide detached sidewalk. In the interest of addressing the concerns brought up at the January 11 Public Hearing, we are proposing to construct three 20 foot by 2 foot planting beds on each block to provide an opportunity to plant daylilies along the boulevard. Storm water: This road is located within Capitol Region Watershed District as well as Rice Creek Watershed District. We will be installing storm water quality treatment as required to meet the watershed districts permitting requirements. We have met with the watershed to discuss their requirements. Financial implications: This project is proposed to be funded by a combination of Municipal State Aid funds, infrastructure funds, and utility funds. The total estimated project cost and financing of this project is as follows: SUMMARY FOR ENTIRE PROJECT Estimated cost Falcon Heights Share Roseville Share Street & Sidewalk Construction $841,859.38 $420,929.69 $420,929.69 Storm Sewer Construction $68,875.00 $34,437.50 $34,437.50 Capitol Region Requirements $38,449.66 $19,224.23 $19,224.23 Watermain Reconstruction $182,812.50 $0 $182,812.50 Total $1,131,996.54 $474,591.42 $657,403.92 Because this is a complete street reconstruction project, a portion of it may be assessed. The proposed assessment discussion included in the Feasibility report is consistent with the following City of Falcon Heights assessment policies: • All residentially zoned properties with frontage abutting a street which is reconstructed shall be assessed on a front-foot basis at the Residential equivalent assessment rate. The Residential equivalent assessment rate for this project shall be the same as the rate established for the 1999 Street Improvements. This rate is $26.50/foot. • Front footage shall be determined at the building setback line as described in the Falcon Heights Zoning Ordinance and shall be measured parallel to the property line abutting the improvement. • In the case of corner lots, only the short side shall be assessed. • The proposed pathway along Roselawn Avenue is a part of the City’s pathway plan. As a result, no costs associated with pathway construction will be assessed to property owners. • Any utility replacement/repair be funded by the appropriate utility fund and not become part of the assessable portion of the project.

The City has been asked to sign a Certificate of Completion for Sherman Associates so that they can close with HUD on this project by the end of January. Roger Knutson, the City Attorney, has reviewed this document, and made some recommendations for changes. These are reflected in the second copy of the document in this packet, and the document reflects the changes that were made. There is one outstanding issue, which is reflected in the appendix to the document—the installation of a sidewalk connecting the sidewalk on Larpenteur Avenue to the Curtiss Field park area, along Snelling Avenue. Staff has received, in writing, an agreement from Sherman Associates, to install this sidewalk in the spring.

Sherman I t s P r e s i d e n t POLICY G3 1 / 2 5 / 0 6 ITEM: 2006 Tree Contractor Extension SUBMITTED BY: Greg Hoag, Director of Parks and Public Works REVIEWED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator EXPLANATION: Summary: Typically, the city takes proposals for tree removals annually. Since these are under the $50,000 statutory competitive bidding cap, the city is not required to bid these contracts. Tree trimming takes place in the winter, when trees are largely dormant. We currently are operating under our 2004 agreement with S & S Tree Service for tree removals. The trimming contract is a separate agreement which was awarded in 2005. S & S has offered to honor their 2004 pricing for removals again in 2006, provided that we do not solicit any new proposals for 2006. S & S has also offered to honor their 2005 quote for tree trimming in 2006. With increased fuel costs for companies with large fleets, as well as some difficulty in the past in getting proposals from reputable companies, it makes sense to extend the removal contract for one more year. In addition, staff has received many favorable comments about the quality of S & S’s work, and they have provided an excellent response to emergency call-out, routine removals, and special situations, including our Dutch Elm season. Staff has reviewed this proposal with the city attorney, and there are no legal impediments to extending this contract. Staff is currently researching better, more competitive ways to solicit proposals for the tree contract, and in 2007, will recommend that the city combine the tree trimming and removal contracts into one request for proposal.

This report assesses whether or not a project and its scope can be accomplished in a cost-effective and timely manner. This project is a cooperative endeavor with the City of Saint Paul. Saint Paul bid this work last spring, and began work on their section of the project area near Midway Parkway, north to Arlington St. in 2005. They are estimating that they will do work in Falcon Heights this Fall, after the State Fair. The half-mile section of Hamline, between Hoyt and Larpenteur Avenues, and the half-mile section of Hoyt, between Hamline and Snelling Avenue, as well as the southerly end of the east Snelling Service Drive from Hoyt to Curtiss Field, are proposed for reconstruction this Fall. These are urban sections with full curb and gutter, and have not been reconstructed since the mid 1980’s or earlier. All three road sections are badly cracked, and in the case of Hamline, it is experiencing pavement failure in several areas due to poor bituminous material being installed during the County’s last reconstruction. The City will receive turnback funds for the Hamline section in the amount of $53,000 from Ramsey County. Hoyt Avenue is proposed for full watermain replacement, and those costs will be borne by the St. Paul Water Utility under our member agreement. Hamline Avenue will receive upgraded storm sewer pipe. Staff proposes the following schedule: Order Feasibility Report: January 25, 2006 Accept Feasibility Report: March 8, 2006 Order Public Hearing: March 8, 2006 Hold Public Hearing: April 12, 2006 Accept Cooperative Construction Agreement with Saint Paul: April 26, 2006 ATTACHMENT: Resolution 2006-05 ACTION REQUESTED: • Discussion • Order preparation of feasibility reports for Hamline, Hoyt and Snelling Service Dr. reconstruction project RESOLUTION NO. 2006-05 RESOLUTION ORDERING PREPARATION OF FEASIBILITY REPORTS FOR HAMLINE AVENUE, HOYT AVENUE AND SNELLING SERVICE DRIVE January 25, 2006 WHEREAS, the Council has reviewed the street construction needs of Hamline and Hoyt Avenues, and Snelling Service Drive in the City and has tentatively selected the segment of Hamline Avenue, between Hoyt Avenue and Larpenteur Avenue; Hoyt Avenue between Hamline Avenue and Snelling Avenue; and Snelling Service Drive between Hoyt Avenue and Curtiss Field Park for reconstruction in 2006; and WHEREAS, it is proposed to improve this section of City of Falcon Heights street system as described above by completing the following work: bituminous paving, concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer, and necessary appurtenances, and to assess the benefited property for all or a portion of the cost of the improvement pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.011 to 429.111: NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota as follows: 1. The segment of Hamline Avenue, between Hoyt Avenue and Larpenteur Avenue; Hoyt Avenue between Hamline Avenue and Snelling Avenue; and Snelling Service Drive between Hoyt Avenue and Curtiss Field Park is hereby approved for consideration of reconstruction. 2. The proposed improvements are referred to the City Engineer of Roseville for study and she is instructed to report to the Council with all convenient speed, advising the Council in a preliminary way as to whether they should best be made as proposed or in connection with some other improvements, and the estimated cost of the improvements as recommended.
