October 8, 2003
POLICY AGENDA:
Mayor Gehrz said there were two items that needed to be added to the Policy Agenda
for discussion purposes this evening: H5: Approval of Stipulation Settlement with Pizza Hut,
and H6: Approval of Expenditure to Repair Related to Fire Truck 757, Aerial Apparatus.
Resolution of Support for Sherman and Associates to Seek Funding from the State
of Minnesota Tax Base Revitalization Account
Administrator Worthington said that Sherman Associates is applying to the Metropolitan
Council for funds to offset costs related to asbestos abatement and soil contamination on the
SE Corner. This funding is available from the Department of Trade and Economic
Development, and the project is eligible to make application because the City is a participant
in the Livable Communities Act Housing Incentives Program through the Metropolitan Council.
Earlier this year, Sherman Associates applied for funding from the State's tax base revitalization
account for this project and came in second.
• In response to a question from Council member Talbot, Administrator Worthington said that the
State's tax base revitalization account encourages the redevelopment of environmentally
problematical properties. The grant, if approved, will cover part of the cost.
Council member Lindstrom asked about a paragraph within the resolution that states Sherman
and Associates is applying for the funding on behalf of the City. Administrator Worthington said
the City will be the "pass through".
RESOLUTION 2003-19
Talbot moved adoption of Resolution 2003-19 authorizing Sherman Associates to submit an
application to the State of Minnesota Tax Base Revitalization Account, on behalf of the City
of Falcon Heights, for funds for aclean-up project within the City that meets the Tax Base
Revitalization account's purpose/s and criteria. The motion was unanimously approved.
Resolution Authorizing Staff to Request Financial Participation in the Curtiss Field
Improvements from the Minnesota Department of Transportation
Administrator Worthington said that portions of Snelling Ave. (State Highway 51) drain into the
pond at Curtiss Field, making the Curtiss Field project eligible for the Municipal Agreement
Funding Program. The MN DOT submittal package requires a Council resolution approving the
request and committing to making the improvements, if awarded the funds. The City's
consulting engineers, Howard R. Green, are preparing engineering documents that will be
submitted as a part of the application. This project will begin in early 2004.

FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES _3_
October 8, 2003
Resolution Authorizing Staff to Request Financial Participation in the Curtiss Field
Improvements from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (continued)
Council member Talbot asked if Howard R. Green found this potential funding source for the
City and Administrator Worthington said that they did. They contacted MN DOT and MN DOT
encouraged the City to apply.
Council member Lindstrom said that a resident living on Snelling told him that Snelling used
to flood before the current stormwater drainage system was constructed.
Mayor Gehrz asked how much money might be .available to the City. Administrator
Worthington said the funding amount will be determined by MN DOT.
RESOLUTION 2003-20
Kuettel moved adoption of Resolution 2003-20 authorizing staff to request funding from
MN DOT, through its municipal agreement program, for the rehabilitation of Curtiss Pond. The
motion was unanimously approved.
Release of Development Agreement on One Lot of the Bullseve Redevelo ment
Administrator Worthington explained that construction of the new Dino's restaurant includes a
land-swap between Dino's and Wellington Management, the owner of the Falcon Crossing
shopping center property. Since the shopping center was subject to a Development Agreement
when constructed, the parcel that is being swapped needs to be released from the Development
Agreement at this time.
Council member Lindstrom asked if the Embers property is part of the Falcon Crossing TIF District.
Administrator Worthington said it isn't, but it is part of the Development District. She said the TIF
District for the Falcon Crossing shopping center property is a 25 year district. The developer/owner
started receiving TIF funds in 1986 and the City can decertify it in 2007. About every two years,
the City has Ehlers do a complete TIF review of its two TIF districts to make sure they are in
compliance with State standards.
Council member Talbot asked Administrator Worthington if she would explain TIF districts
because some members of the public are confused and think that TIF districts don't pay taxes.
Administrator Worthington said that all taxing jurisdictions, i.e. City, School District and County,
etc., continue to receive taxes on property within a TIF District at the tax rate established prior
to creation of the TIF District. Once the TIF District is established, the increment generated over
and above that prior tax rate can go back to the developer for the life of the TIF District.

October 8, 2003
Release of Development Agreement on One Lot of the Bullseye Redevelopment (continued)
Lindstrom moved approval of the release of one lot in the Bullseye redevelopment from the
development agreement between the City of Falcon Heights and Bullseye Golf Centers, Inc., that
was filed with the Ramsey County Registrar of Titles Office on November 15, 1984, as Document
No. 768258, and refiled with the Ramsey County Registrar of Titles Office on December 11, 1984,
as Document No. 769752. The motion was unanimously approved.
Amendment to Assessment Agreement
Administrator Worthington said the City has an assessment agreement in force on the Bullseye
Redevelopment dating from the early 1980's. Because of the land-swap, this agreement needs to be
amended to eliminate the parcel referenced earlier in this meeting.
In response to a question from Council member Kuettel, Attorney Foli said the proposed document
has been circulating for several months. The authorizing signatures on behalf of the City will have
• today's date. All parties have agreed to the document and the County will be signing the document
last.
Kuettel moved approval of the amendment to the assessment agreement dated September 19, 1984
filed with the Ramsey County Registrar of Titles on November 15, 1984, as Document No.
7668257, and refiled on December 11, 1984, as Document No. 7669751, to modify the legal
description attached thereto to include the New Parcel, rather than the Release Parcel. The motion
was unanimously approved.
Approval of Stipulation Settlement with Pizza Hut
Administrator Worthington said that late today, the attorneys representing Pizza Hut, Sherman
Associates, and the City's law firm, Campbell Knutson, completed the stipulation settlement
for Pizza Hut. Sherman Associates, Inc., and Sky Ventures, LLC (dba Pizza Hut) have signed a
letter of understanding outlining the conditions in the settlement agreement. Pizza Hut has
agreed to relocate to the new multi-family building to be built on the corner of Snelling and
Larpenteur Avenues as part of the Town Square redevelopment. The City must approve this
agreement before the parties can sign it and complete the deal.
Attorney Foli explained that there are four parties involved with this: The City, JEMJAHS No. 3
Partnership, Falcon Heights Town Center Limited Partnership, and Sky Ventures, LLC, owner
of the Pizza Hut franchise. The City is party to this because Pizza Hut is willing to release the
City and this takes care of all of the outstanding issues with Pizza Hut.

FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -5-
October 8, 2003
Approval of Stipulation Settlement with Pizza Hut (continued)
Council member Talbot asked if Pizza Hut owns the land. Will this change if Pizza Hut decides
to not relocate? Attorney Foli said Pizza Hut doesn't own the land (they are a tenant), and if they
decide to not relocate, that is not covered in this document. Council member Lamb said the City
is the pass through owner. Administrator Worthington said there is a provision in the agreement
that stipulates that Pizza Hut/Sky Ventures will be entitled to liquidated damages if the new
building is not substantially completed within 36 months from termination of the lease.
Mayor Gehrz asked if the design of the lighting and signs will be covered with a separate
agreement. Administrator Worthington said the signage is covered in the PUD agreement. The
City doesn't allow blinking or flashing signs. The signage will be canopy type with a narrow
name band above. Pizza Hut will not be able to use their typical corporate model for that site.
Lindstrom moved approval of the settlement agreement for Sky Ventures, LLC and Sherman
Associates, Inc. for the relocation of the Pizza Hut restaurant on the SE Corner of Snelling
and Larpenteur Avenues. The motion was unanimously approved.
• Approval of Expenditure to Repair Related to Fire Truck 757, Aerial Apparatus
Administrator Worthington said that the aerial apparatus purchased by the City in 1993
experienced a water leak at the base of the Tele Squirt. This leak caused a problem with water
pressure to the high pressure nozzle on the end of the Tele Squirt equipment, and disabled the
nozzle. Fire Department staff found this leak prior to the State Fair, but did not want to remove
the truck from service for the two weeks needed in order to repair the leak, so waited until the
Fair was over. (This equipment can go up to a 5-story height.) The original estimate for repair
was more than $12,000; however, the final bill was only $8,995.27. Because this was an
emergency repair situation, the City Administrator authorized the Fire Department staff to go
forward with the repair prior to Council action. The Department is now seeking approval for the
expenditure, which was, of course, not accounted for in the 2003 Budget. This cost can be
covered in the Fire Capital budget.
Kuettel moved approval of the expenditure of $8,995.27 from Fire Capital to repair Fire Truck
757, Aerial Apparatus. The motion was unanimously approved.
REPORTS FROM COUNCIL MEMBERS: None
INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Mayor Gehrz reminded the cable audience that the second CERT training program begins

INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: (continued)
Mayor Gehrz said the cost is $15.00 per trainee for the entire 7-class series. Trainees need to be
13 years of age or older. She mentioned that earlier in the day she and Administrator
Worthington attended a meeting on the University of Minnesota/Falcon Heights campus to learn
about their proposed plan to adapt an old building on campus to a chiller plant. She said she
really appreciates the fact that before the University went further in their planning, they took
steps to invite neighbors and the City to hear about what they are thinking. It is wonderful to see
the University do this.
The regular City Council meeting was adjourned at 8:20 PM.

October, 2003
Hello,
Phone - (651) 644-5050
Fax - (651) 644-8675
I am hoping you can help us with a parking issue that has been causing problems for some of the residents
on this block.
When this neighborhood was built, it was made a cul-de-sac with no street access to
Prior Avenue to prevent the traffic and parking associated with the university campus from negatively
affecting the residential character of this area. Over the past year, there has been an increasing amount of
parking near the pathway by people working or going to school on the St. Paul campus.
The result is that the homeowners nearest to the path do not have access to on-street parking for their
guests and service people. If this happened only occasionally, there would not be a problem but it appears
that the same cars are parking in the same location nearly every day. This has been the basis of many
complaints and a request for the city to post this area for permit parking only.
• With your cooperation, I believe this problem can be resolved in a way that still allows some public
parking without negatively affecting some homes on a daily basis. The following actions on your part
would be a great help:
1. Move your parking location everyday. Space is available on blocks to the north and, by regularly
rotating your parking spot, you cause less hardship for the homeowners in that neighborhood.
2. Avoid parking close to other cars. If you see that a car is already parked in front of a home,
please do not park in front of the same house. Leave them room for their guests and service
people.
3. If you would like reserved parking closer to the north end of campus, contact
Cindy Hartley, Director of Facilities at the Twin City Co-ops Federal Credit
Union, 2025 Larpenteur Avenue. The phone number is 651 215-3450. They are
making some spaces available in their lot at a very reasonable cost. This would save you some
walking distance during the winter months when temperatures drop.
If you have any questions or concerns about these suggestions, please call me at Falcon Heights City
Hall. Phone is 651-644-5050.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Sue Gehrz, Mayor
