INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: • CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS COUNCIL MINUTES June 21, 2004 Mayor Sue Gehrz called the special Council meeting to order. PRESENT: Mayor Gehrz, Council members Laura Kuettel, Robert Lamb and Peter Lindstrom Also present: City Administrator Heather Worthington and Deputy Clerk Mary Shea Kodluboy ABSENT: Council member Richard Talbot Recommendation for County Board re ag rding 800 MHz dis ap tch s s Mayor Gehrz explained to the viewing audience that on Tuesday, June 22, the Ramsey County Board will decide how many Dispatch/Communication Centers (PSAP's) will be included in the new 800 MHz system in Ramsey County. They have requested input from all cities and townships to assist them in making this decision. Since the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting will occur after the June 22 County Board meeting, this special City Council meeting is being held to enable the Council to take formal action on a recommendation • formulated by Mayor Gehrz and City Administrator Worthington. Basis for Recommendations: Since September, 2003, Mayor Gehrz said that she has been representing 14 suburban cities and townships on the 800 MHz Public Safety Communications System Policy Planning Committee. This committee, composed of elected officials from the county, cities, and school districts, makes recommendations to the County Board on the organization, governance, and financing of a public safety system in Ramsey County. Work groups composed of first responders and dispatchers have been working with technical consultants to plan the system, operating protocols, and training. To assist in gathering information about service options, financing, and governance, Administrator Worthington has convened several meetings with suburban City Administrators and City Managers. They have developed recommendations around governance principles and dispatching service needs. Current status of dispatching centers: There are currently four separate PSAP sites operating in Ramsey County: 1. Saint Paul 2. Ramsey County Sheriff 3. Maplewood 4. White Bear Lake Falcon Heights paid $12,552 last year to the Ramsey County Sheriff's dispatch as a part of our contract with St. Anthony Police. An additional $10,825 was paid by our taxpayers on their • County taxes to be used toward the cost of maintaining a county dispatch system. • FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES _2_ June 21, 2004 Recommendation for County Board re arding 800 MHz dis ap tch s stem (continued) Mayor Gehrz said that all taxpayers in Ramsey County help support the cost of a County-wide dispatch system. Cities have the choice of operating their own dispatch centers but must cover the costs for doing so out of their City funds. The dispatch functions in White Bear Lake and Maplewood have been intertwined into a public safety service model that includes non-dispatch related activities. Current positions: As of June 17, Maplewood and White Bear Lake have taken official positions of support for continuing the operation of their independent PSAP's. This is similar to Hennepin County in which everyone pays toward the cost of maintaining a county-wide dispatch capability but some cities, including Minneapolis, maintain and fund their own dispatch centers. The City of Saint Paul and Ramsey County administrative staff have expressed preferences for a single site PSAP to handle all dispatching for Ramsey County. The suburban cities have directly or indirectly opposed the merger of Saint Paul and suburban • dispatch. There have been three major concerns: • Backup capability in the event of disruption of service • Potential reduction in services in the suburban cities due to increase in call volume in Saint Paul and differences in response protocols • Increased cost for suburban cities to add dispatchers to handle the call volume for Saint Paul Mayor Gehrz said that one of the major decisions to be made is the organizational structure of the Dispatch/Communication Centers (PSAPs). The Project Management Team identified the following criteria that it would like each jurisdiction to consider when discussing both its short- term and long-term policy decisions around PSAPs. CRITERIA FOR MAKING THE BEST POLICY DECISION • All federal requirements are met • Appropriate protection for the life and property of our citizens • Appropriate support for the safety of first responders • Cost justifiable/best service for the dollar • Appropriate long-term approach to managing system resources • Increased homeland security by offering appropriate integration and interoperability • Results in no reduction of service level • • Facilitates continuous cross training/skills development of dispatch staff • Maintains culture of responder organizations • FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES _3_ June 21, 2004 Recommendation for County Board re arding 800 MHz dis atch s sY tem (continued) Mayor Gehrz reviewed the PSCS/800 MHz Project PSAP option feedback form that is to be submitted to the Ramsey County Board on Tuesday, June 22, and the recommendation that she and Administrator Worthington were proposing to the full Council. She said they are recommending an interim step: Two dispatch communication centers (PSAP'S)--one urban and one suburban. Factors that led to this recommendation: Concern about the potential reduction in suburban service levels due to the discrepancy between Saint Paul and the suburbs in the ratio of dispatchers to calls; and concern about the potential cost increase to suburban cities for the additional personnel required to handle the call volume for Saint Paul. Council member Kuettel asked what Hennepin County does. Administrator Worthington said that Hennepin County has a dispatching center and all County taxpayers pay for it. Minneapolis and Hopkins have their own dispatch centers. Over time there are incentives for communities to move toward centralization. Anoka County has created a joint powers entity that is under the control of the County Manager. • Mayor Gehrz said the resolution the County Board will vote on authorizes the County Manager to negotiate with Saint Paul for a merged dispatch. Saint Paul is only 44% of the County tax base but generates 75% of all dispatch calls. There is concern about a fairness issue. Council member Lamb recommended consideration of a single site. He thinks the problems can be worked out if everyone is forced to. He said that in his career, he created and managed two call centers. He outlined several considerations: Architecture -- technology point of view. Can you route the calls to where you want them to be? The costs of multiple locations are incredibly greater than one location. Multiple centers require multiple supervisors. One central call center requires fewer supervisors. If you have a small call center with 5 dispatchers and one calls in sick, you are down 20%. If you have a position open that hasn't been filled, you are down 40%. The larger the center, the better your management practices are. You can professionally train your crew, have more experienced supervision, and have overflow capability. A central center is more efficient, more professional, more highly trained, and more flexible. Architecture -management perspective. People don't want to do it because there is distrust of the government units involved that the costs may not be fairly allocated. This is a legitimate topic that can be addressed in a shared powers agreement. Costs can be allocated according to usage. If you don't get the service you believe you should get, you can back out of the agreement and join the Maplewood PSAP or Hennepin County. You can go to India with this. Citizens deserve to have their government officials working together. • 3 • FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -4- June 21, 2004 Recommendation for County Board regarding 800 MHz dispatch system (continued) Council member Lamb said that the reason he doesn't like the interim step is that he has enough organizational experience to know that once you have two or more PSAPS set up, it would take a big bomb or a big opportunity to bring about creation of a single site PSAP. One center, from a cost point of view, would save taxpayers a lot of money and be a super deal all the way around. Ramsey County is an urban county. Take advantage of the urban ness. The technologies are available to do this. Council member Kuettel spoke briefly about the 9/11 study and its discussion about all of the different layers. Her initial reaction was to do a single site, regardless of what White Bear Lake and Maplewood do. Mayor Gehrz said that she appreciated what Council member Lamb said about call volume. She could see a single site with cost allocated on a back one year call volume basis. Administrator Worthington said that Ramsey County is using some type of calculation to determine cost. The only fair way to base this would be on call volume. • Council member Lamb said that if the City was to support the two center thing, which is really four, what would be the cost allocation assumptions in the PSAP Falcon Heights would be in? How would costs be calculated? Council member Lindstrom said he has heard some convincing arguments. If the issues can be worked out through a joint powers agreement, he would be satisfied with a single call center. Mayor Gehrz said that she sees everyone so far from that. The County Board members aren't even close. Council member Lamb said that you need to force people to be on the right path. If we support two centers now, those two centers will become entrenched. Mayor Gehrz said that cost should be based on a call volume formula rather than a tax base formula. Council member Lamb said that Falcon Heights will be providing leadership. If we can turn one head tomorrow and more in the future, we will be moving toward something that is more efficient and professional. If we believe a single site is the right thing, that is what we should advocate. Mayor Gehrz said that she will have to wear two hats, one for Falcon Heights and one • representing the eleven other communities. 4 • FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES _5_ June 21, 2004 Recommendation for County Board regarding 800 MHz dis atch s.. stem (continued) Administrator Worthington said that the primary issue that has come up has centered on cost. Council member Lamb said that capital costs for a single center are a lot less than for multiple centers. The only issue here is whether people have the will to solve the problems. If you have the will, the problems can be solved. Citizens have a right to expect consistent service and we should be driving toward a standard. Council member Lindstrom said where do we go from here? The County Board will make a decision tomorrow. He would feel comfortable voting for a single location with a caveat about cost on a call basis. Council member Lamb made the following recommendations: 1. The City would want to see a cost allocation model based upon call volume. 2. Single site comparison of initial capital outlays. One center versus multiple centers. 3. Standard quality of service development. How many taxpayers, time from call to • dispatch. Creation of a single set of standards in the County. Council member Lindstrom said the City could opt out if it was dissatisfied and go with Hennepin County. Administrator Worthington said that she asked the Saint Anthony Police Department about that and evidently there is some statutory issue about Hennepin County dispatching for Ramsey County. The general consensus of the Council was that their recommendation to the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners is for one single dispatch communication center site (PSAP) in Ramsey County. The cost allocation model would be based upon call volume, and issues of funding and governance would be addressed through a shared powers agreement. The special City Council meeting was adjourned at 9:00 PM.

PAUL REGIONAL WATER SERVICES BY: TITLE: DATE; Approved by Owner CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS • BY: TITLE; DATE: END.xIs POLICY Hl 7/14/04 ITEM: Proposed ordinance providing for the addition of rental storage space as an Interim Use in B-3 Zone SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: Deb Jones, Zoning and Planning Coordinator EXPLANATION: Summary: The City received an application from TIES, 1667 N. Snelling Avenue, requesting that Chapter 9, Section 10, of the City Code be amended to add an interim use for the B-3 Zone, Snelling and Larpenteur Community Business District. The proposed interim use is as follows: Private storage of vehicles, small trailers, recreational vehicles, equipment or tools, community theatre equipment, materials and similar items, when stored within existing accessory structures. At their regular June 22°d meeting, the Planning Commission voted 5 to 2 to recommend denial . of this request to the City Council. If the City were to grant this ordinance, an interim permit would be required, as stated in Chapter 9, Section 15.08, with procedures similar to those for a Conditional Use Permit. It is the City's understanding that it is the intent of TIES, if this ordinance is adopted and a permit is granted, to rent or lease storage space to businesses and private individuals. City Staff has the following objections to the proposed use: • The proposed use does not fit the purpose and intent of the Snelling and Larpenteur Community Business District, as set forth in Section 9-10.01 Subdivision 1. • The proposed use would apply to all properties in the B-3 zone, not just the TIES property, and would enable any property owner in B-3 to consider a similar use. • The proposed use is not the "highest and best" use of land in the central commercial district of the City. • Owners of other properties at Snelling and Larpenteur have invested and will invest millions of dollars to redevelop their properties and to enhance the appearance and quality of existing development. This proposed use does not complement those efforts. • The proposed use is vaguely worded enough to include the possible storage of items and materials which could have a negative impact on neighboring residential and commercial properties and on public health and safety. iq • POLICY Hl 7/14/04 Hl Proposed ordinance providing for the addition of rental storage space as an Interim Use in B-3 Zone (continued) • Even if specific conditions and limits were included in the actual permit, enforcement would be costly and difficult for the City. Staff is not confident that effective enforcement would even be possible. • There are security risks related to the storage of materials, especially vehicles, in a location immediately adjacent, not only to a residential neighborhood and to the commercial core of the City, but to one of the busiest intersections in the Metro area. All of the above objections apply, whether the proposed use were to be interim, conditional, accessory or permitted. In addition: • The proposed use does not fit the purpose and intent of the Interim Use Permit, as defined in 9-15.08 Subdivision 1. The applicant is not presenting this as a temporary use (paragraph a), a presently acceptable use that is expected to become unacceptable or to be replaced in the future by a permitted or conditional use in the district (paragraph b), or a use in anticipation of long range change to the area (paragraph c). • At this time there is one other interim use provided in the City Code, the Farmer's Market at Twin City Co-op Credit Union, approved in 2003. The storage use proposed by TIES shares little if any similarity to the Farmer's Market use in B-2. • Farmer's Market is on site for a period of five hours or less, one day per week, five months of the year. Storage at TIES would be round the clock, seven days a week, all year. • Farmer's Market is a public service and community amenity provided by Twin City Co-op Credit Union without charge to the Community or to the Market. Storage at TIES is intended as arevenue-producing business unrelated to the nonprofit organization's educational mission. Farmer's Market is located in the B-2 zone, which is dissimilar to B-3, both by location and use. As a result of these findings, staff recommended denial of this request to the Planning Commission. • • POLICY Hl 7/14/04 Hl Proposed ordinance providing for the addition of rental storage space as an Interim Use in B-3 Zone (continued) ATTACHMENTS: • Copy of application on pages ~ ~ ~~ • Site map of TIES, showing reas that would be used for storage on page ~_ • Map of B-3 Zone on page _~~ • Copy of Falcon Heights City Code Chapter 9, Section 10: "B-3 Snelling & Larpenteur Business District" on pages s~~ o~ • List of businesses currently located in B-3 Zone on pages D 3~l ACTION REQUESTED: • Consideration of Planning Commission's recommendation to deny the request for an ordinance providing for the addition of rental storage space as an interim use in the B-3 .

As such, it is a prudent time to review our consultant contract with H.R. Green and open our contract to requests for proposal from other engineering firms. Staff recommends that the following firms receive RFP packets from the city: H.R.Green Louck Associates RLK Kuusisto Ltd. TSP One, Inc. Schnell & Madson, Inc. • URS Engineering Boonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates MFRA, Inc. HDR Yaggy Colby Associates LHB Other firms as identified by staff Staff also recommends that an open call for RFP be placed on the League of Minnesota Cities website to ensure that we are drawing from the widest possible pool for this consulting contract. TimPlinP• • RFP submitted by September 30 • Interviews throughout October • Consideration of finalists in November • Contract awarded as of January 1, 2005 ACTION REQUESTED: • Authorize staff to draw up an RFP for engineering services and distribute as outlined in this staff report. • 33 • • • • • • POLICY H3 7/14/04 ITEM: Consideration of a welcome packet for new residents SUBMITTED BY: Mayor Sue Gehrz REVIEWED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator EXPLANATION: Summary: With the projected opening of the new Senior Apartments in early September, the city will need to distribute new resident information to the tenants. There is also an opportunity to promote our business community. We would like to solicit coupons and other information from the business community for inclusion in this "welcome packet" for new residents on the SE Corner, and any new residents to the community who purchase single-family homes, as well. The city could provide the envelopes and put together the packets, while the business community would provide enough copies of their material for 200 packets. In addition, the city would put relevant city information, such as our new resident booklet. ACTION REQUESTED: • Authorize Mayor and City Administrator to send a letter to all licensed businesses in Falcon Heights requesting material fora "welcome packet" for new residents. 34 • • POLICY H4 7/14/04 ITEM: Step increase and title change for Ann Davy, Recreation Coordinator SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: Bill Maertz, Parks and Public Works Director EXPLANATION: Summary: The city hired Ann Davy on January 29, 2004 as Recreation Coordinator. Bill Maertz conducted a performance evaluation of Ann before he left on June 30th, and concluded that her work to date has been exemplary. He praised Ann for her strong work ethic, innovations in recreation programming, and excellent interpersonal skills. Additionally, Ann has taken on the city newsletter, designed the recreation brochure, and spearheaded a number of projects that showed her versatility and considerable talents. Ann has already taken on more responsibilities and duties; however, with Bill's departure, Bill and I approached her with an additional list of duties involving parks. We have separated out these functions from Bill's old job description, and feel that they are more appropriate to Ann's every day duties and responsibilities. I would recommend adding the following to Ann's duties, and increasing her hours from 15% to 25% • time to reflect these additional duties: 1. Parks capital planning 2. Playground maintenance scheduling and inspections (with Public Works Director) 3. Park and Recreation Commission staff liaison 4. Rink Coordination and scheduling (Colin Callahan to continue as Rink Supervisor) 5. Volunteer coordination (Boy and Girl Scouts, youth groups, school groups) 6. Schedule coordination for park rentals (with Public Works Director and Deputy Clerk) A title change commensurate with these new duties is appropriate. I recommend changing her title from Recreation Coordinator, to Parks and Recreation Supervisor. Further, I am recommending a 5% step increase for the end of her probationary appointment. She will be eligible for an additional step at one year and at 18 months. ACTION REQUESTED: • Approve additional duties for Ann Davy, a change in her title, and a 5% step increase marking the end of her probationary appointment with the City of Falcon Heights U 3S • •
