PRESENT: Mayor Gehrz, Council members Laura Kuettel, Robert Lamb, Peter Lindstrom and Richard Talbot Also present: City Administrator Heather Worthington, Deputy Clerk Mary Shea Kodluboy and Terre Heiser/Roseville IT Department COMMUNITY FORUM: Mayor Gehrz said that Colton Graham, a Falcon Heights resident, contacted the City with a request to make a presentation to the City Council regarding his Eagle Scout project. The agendas and packets were already prepared and distributed, so Colton was invited to do his presentation during the Community Forum portion of this evening's meeting. Colton Graham, a Boy Scout with Troop 904, said that he is working toward becoming an Eagle Scout. He contacted Bill Maertz, the City's Parks and Public Works Director and they decided upon a prairie planting project in Community Park. On May 22, Colton and friends planted about 500 prairie plants provided by the City. Some of the prairie plant species were: Prairie grasses, daisies, and sky blue aster. They also removed the equivalent of six bags of weeds from the park. Colton showed photographs of the project to the City Council. In response to a question from Mayor Gehrz about applying this experience to other parts of his life, Colton said it will help if he becomes a boss in a big business. Colton said that he feels really proud that he helped the community. Mayor Gehrz presented Colton with a City pin and told him how proud she and the City Council were of his accomplishments. PRESENTATIONS: None Scheduled APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Council minutes dated June 23, 2004 and July 14, 2004 were unanimously approved as submitted. PUBLIC HEARINGS: None Scheduled CONSENT AGENDA: Kuettel moved approval of the Consent Agenda, as outlined below. The motion was unanimously approved. 1. General Disbursements through July 23, 2004: $ 239,945.07 Payroll (07/01/04-07/15/04): $ 14,559.79 2. Approval of Reciprocal Fire Service Agreement with the Capitol City Mutual Aid Association • FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -2- July 28, 2004 POLICY AGENDA: Consideration of an IP Telephony S,, stem Administrator Worthington said that in1997, the City purchased the current phone system, manufactured by Inter-Tel. This system has begun to show signs of its age, and has become increasingly expensive to maintain. Staff began discussions with the City of Roseville last year regarding the installation of a new IP Telephony system, which would operate over the fiber network that has been installed between most of the communities in Northern Ramsey County. Because this system does not rely on land-lines for communication, it costs approximately $5,000 less to operate each year. Staff prepared an analysis of the IP Telephony system, and found that the capital costs associated with this installation could be recovered in approximately 24 months of service due to the savings represented in toll charges on the existing phone system. In the 2004 CIP Budget, $8,000 was allocated for the replacement of the City's phone system. The total capital cost of this installation is estimated at $9,980, with an estimated cost of $7,500 per year in operating costs. The current system cost the City $16,790, and costs an estimated $11,199 per year to operate. Since we will begin saving money immediately on this change- . over, staff estimates that the additional $1,980 over the budgeted amount can be recouped on toll charges, which would amount to approximately $3,300 over afour-month period. This system will be quite a bit cheaper and permits the City to have redundancy because of a wider range of feeders that will be available. The sound quality and reliability are excellent. It can be expanded up to 40 direct dial lines and will be E-911 capable. The software will be continually upgraded. The disadvantage: The City's phone numbers will have to be changed but the switchover will occur about nine months before the new phone books come out. Mayor Gehrz asked Mr. Terre Heiser, Roseville IT Department, to give a brief overview of the IT Telephony System and he did so. Council member Kuettel asked if there are occasions when fiber optic lines go down. Mr. Heiser said that a good portion of the optic fiber in the area is aerial and maintained by Comcast. Nothing of this nature has happened in four years. Council member Lamb asked about hardware ownership. Mr. Heiser said that all of the stations and analog adapter premises equipment will belong to Falcon Heights. Roseville owns the servers and the software licensing. Council member Lamb asked who owns the router and Mr. Heiser said Falcon Heights does. It was purchased about four years ago. Anything in the building belongs to Falcon Heights. Council member Lamb asked when the transfer will occur and Administrator Worthington said that is yet to be determined. The new phone number will be • 651-792-7600. Mr. Heiser said the project isn't very difficult and the labor is covered in the current joint powers agreement. • FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -3- July 28, 2004 Consideration of an IP Telephony System Council member Lamb asked if there is potential to run a pay phone off this network. Mr. Heiser said that IP can run off any type of medium. Council member Lamb said he thought the City would be very interested in this at some point, particularly for the City's parks. Mr. Heiser said the City of North St. Paul opened its new City Hall on June 29. There are three call processor backup sites: Roseville, CTV Studios and North St. Paul. The system could support over 15,000 devices and right now it supports 400. Roseville has joint powers agreements with ten other cities. Council member Lindstrom said that one of the big disadvantages that he has read about is that you can ca11911 but they can't see your address. What makes this system different? Mr. Heiser said that when Roseville installed the system in October, 2003, it spent money for an emergency responder. This system has Enhanced 911, which is a requirement now. It is a software service that lets you program and configure any way you want. When the Roseville IT Department did its first analysis two years ago, the analysis identified what people wanted and the number one priority was business continuity. They looked at business processes and tried to put a plan in • place that provides continuity. Council member Talbot asked about vulnerabilities. Mr. Heiser said they looked at risks and the cost value of risks. There are always vulnerabilities. They have been running their system for about nine months and it is working quite well. There was a brief discussion about remote site survivability. Lamb moved approval of the Service Addendum with the City ofRoseville/Information Technology Department and installation of the IP Telephony system. The motion was unanimously approved. Hire Greg Hoag_as Director of Public Works Administrator Worthington said the Council is being asked to approve the hire of Greg Hoag as the Director of Public Works. This position was recently vacated when Bill Maertz was hired as the new Parks Director for the City of Elk River. The position was advertised in the Pioneer Press and on the League of Cities website. There were 11 applicants for the position and the top five candidates were interviewed by a panel made up of Mayor Gehrz, Administrator Worthington, Bill Maertz, and Employment Consultant Lisa Lynn. The panel was unanimous in its recommendation to hire Greg. Greg comes to Falcon Heights from the City of Little Canada, where he has been the Park Maintenance Supervisor for 10 years. Greg is active in professional organizations, such as the Minnesota Turf Manager's Association, and Minnesota • Park Supervisor's Association. He will be available to begin on August 16~'. 3 • FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -4- July 28, 2004 Hire Grey Hoag as Director of Public Works (continued) Administrator Worthington said the City will start Greg at a yearly salary of $52,500, with eligibility for step increases at 6 and 18 months. This is anon-exempt position, so Greg will also be eligible for overtime or compensatory time, depending on his preference. Greg will receive three weeks of vacation, and eligibility for city insurance, the ICMA 457 retirement plan (defined contribution), and tuition reimbursement up to $2,000 per year. Greg Hoag said he is very pleased to come to Falcon Heights as the new Public Works Director and is looking forward to the new challenges. He said that he worked for Falcon Heights about ten years ago as an ice rink attendant. Mayor Gehrz said the City has spent a lot of time and effort trying to make sure it is as well prepared for disasters as it can be. Greg is a volunteer firefighter for Roseville and has gone through the HazMat training. His experience and training with the Roseville Fire Department will help a great deal. Kuettel moved approval of the hire of Greg Hoag as Director of Public Works, effective August 16, 2004, at a starting salary of $52,500, with eligibility for step increases at 6 and 18 months. This is anon-exempt position, so Greg will also be eligible for overtime or compensatory time, depending on his preference. Greg will receive three weeks of vacation, be eligible for City insurance, the ICMA 457 retirement plan (defined contribution), and tuition reimbursement up to $2,000 per year. The motion was unanimously approved. REPORTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS: None INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: Council member Kuettel reminded the viewing audience that the City's annual Ice Cream Social will be held on Thursday evening, July 29, 6-8 PM, at Community Park. Ice cream treats will be served by the Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions Club and there are rumors that she and Mayor Gehrz may be in the dunk tank. It will be a great time to meet people from the community. Mayor Gehrz reminded people to bring money. They will have to buy tickets to have the privilege of dunking people. The money that is raised goes for park scholarships and projects. Council member Lindstrom thanked Colton Graham for putting in the great plants. Council member Talbot reminded residents who live around the SE Corner and Curtiss Field projects to change their air conditioning/furnace filters more frequently because of the dust the • projects generate. FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -5- • July 28, 2004 INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS (continued) Council member Talbot said he received a call from a resident with questions about the 2005 local government aid distribution formula and the temporary fix that Governor Pawlenty announced he would make. He asked Administrator Worthington if she could give the viewing audience some background information on this. Administrator Worthington said the problem was caused by a legislative mathematical formula error that wasn't corrected by the 2004 Legislature. Bigger cities would have been most affected. Governor Pawlenty announced he will certify the 2005 LGA distribution based on legislative intent. Mayor Gehrz said that Tuesday, August 3, is National Night Out and to date, there are six block parties taking place in Falcon Heights that night. If residents are planning to have a block party, call City Hall and let staff know. Colored paper is also available at City Hall for block party invitations. Wednesday evening, August 4, 6:30 PM, the City Council will be having a second budget workshop, with primary focus on the general operating budget of the City. The public is welcome to participate. She said everyone received a lot of calls about the Polaris event at the State Fair. The noise impact was pretty horrendous. Because the grandstand is under construction, the bands were placed on Machinery Hill. She talked with Jerry Hammer, Director • of the State Fair, about this and there will be meetings scheduled for businesses and residents to talk with State Fair officials about what they are experiencing. Mr. Hammer said they would never again put a band on Machinery Hill. Administrator Worthington said the Solid Waste Commission has not completed its study and will be bringing its recommendations to the City Council in early fall-September. She said there has been an increase in thefts and 90% of them are occurring in unlocked garages, homes and automobiles. She reminded the viewing audience to lock their garages, garage access doors, homes and automobiles, and to not leave anything within view in vehicles. Don't take your security for granted. Council member Talbot said that residents should ca11911 if they see anything unusual or that concerns them. The regular City Council meeting was adjourned at 8:05 PM.

Worthington, City Administrator i~ • POLICY Hl 8/11/04 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. 19 • POLICY Hl 811/04 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. • ~o POLICY Hl 8/11/04 Hl Proposed ordinance providing for the addition of rental storage space as an Interim Use in B-3 Zone (continued) ATTACHMENTS: • Copy of staff a-mail dated April 12, 2004 to ~ Thomas Bertz outlining the City's code amendment application procedure on pa e ~o • Copy of application on pages o~ 3 ~ o~ • Site map of TIES, showing as that would be used for storage on page p~ • Map of B-3 Zone on page • Copy of Falcon Heights City~C~ode 3 h~apter 9, Section 10: "B-3 Snelling & Larpenteur Business District" on pages '' ~( • List of businesses currently located in B-3 Zone on pages ~ (- 33 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 • Zone r: ~i Deb Jones From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Mr. Bertz: Deb Jones Monday, April 12, 2004 11:17 AM 'bertz@ties.k12.mn. us' Heather Worthington Code Amendment procedure I have just spoken to the City Attorney who has given me better information on the procedure you need to go through to get an amendment to the City Code to provide for an addition to the conditional uses allowed in your zone. According to our attorney, you do not need a petition with adjacent property owner signatures after all, just the zoning application I gave you this morning. However, you must provide the exact language for the amendment to the code. The fee is $250. The process will still have to go through the hearings and approvals I outlined this morning. If the code amendment is passed by the Council, you may then apply for the Conditional Use Permit with a separate application and a separate fee of $165. There will be additional hearings at this step. In order for us to satisfy the published notice requirement for holding a hearing at the May meeting of the planning commission, we must have your paid application on file no later than Tuesday, May 4. This is determined by the publication schedule of our official newspaper. It is our understanding that all parties to whom you have leased space in violation of the City Code will be gone by April 30. Please contact me if you have any questions. • Thank you for your cooperation on this matter. Deborah Jones Zoning and Planning Coordinator City of Falcon Heights 2077 W.

The district applies only to the four quadrants of the Larpenteur and Snelling intersection. The district is designed to provide retail sales and services that only serve the surrounding neighborhoods' and community's needs. Retail sales and services that serve a larger geographic area are available in larger, nearby business districts in adjacent cities. By limited and controlling the uses that are permitted, the district is designed to be accessible to retail customers from the neazby neighborhoods and the community, to be compatible with the character of the neighborhoods and overall community, and to minim;~.e the blighting influence on the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Furthermore, the district provides for and encourages compact centers for retail sales and services by grouping businesses into patterns of workable relationships that complement each other. The district is designed to be easily accessible to users. It excludes highway oriented and other high traffic volume businesses that would tend to disrupt the cohesiveness of the shopping center or its circulation patterns and shared parking arrangements. • Subdivision 2.

When technology products and services are shared, districts realize economies of scale, increased quality and optimum potential. A history of success Created in 1967 as a nonprofit consortium to provide technology and information resources to school administrators, educators and students, TIES is owned by 37 Minnesota school districts. These member districts represent about 400 schools with a total enrollment of more than 245,000 students. TIES provides integrated student information, finance, and human resource systems. Designed by its members, TIES web-based student information system (TSIS) is one of the most complete systems on the market, incorporating census, health, transportation, individualized education plans, parent access, grade book, test and assessment data, and more. TIES is also one of the largest education technology trainers in the country. TIES has consistently made the Twin Cities Business.lournal's Top 25 list for computer service firms, Internet service providers, web hosting firms, software developers, computer training firms and customized training firms. TIES enduring strength comes from the collaboration of its member districts. Districts help TIES develop products through advisory groups comprised of district staff who use TIES products and services. And TIES continually refines and revises its products based on input from its member districts and other users.
