Regular Meeting of the Falcon Heights City Council November 12, 2008 Members present: Council members Kuettel, Harris, Mercer-Taylor, and Long, Administrator Miller, Assistant City Administrator/Depu
y Clerk Kreuser. Members absent: Mayor Lindstrom. Council member Kuettel, acting as mayor, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Presentation: 1. Proclamation of support for Northwest
Youth & Family Services Discovery Center Administrator Miller began by reminding the council of the NYFS Discovery Center, which they broke ground on last week. They are not asking for
financial donations from Falcon Heights, but their hope is the proclamation of support will help NYFS solicit support from donors later on. Council member Kuettel read aloud the proclamation.
Motion by Council member Harris to support the proclamation. The motion passed unanimously. Mercer-Taylor said she went to the annual meeting, and Administrator Miller said the new building
will be in Shoreview. The minutes of the October 22, 2008 meeting were approved as submitted. Consent Agenda: Council member Long moved to approve the following five items on the consent
agenda. The motion passed unanimously. 1. General disbursements through 11/5/08: $159,970.15 Payroll through 10/31/08: $15,518.93 2. City Licenses 3. Statutory Tort Limits Liability
Coverage for City 4. Setting 2009 Contractor License Rates 5. Lawful Gambling Permit for Falcon Heights Elementary PTA Policy Agenda: 1. Approval of 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Administrator
Miller began by explaining to the council the Comprehensive Plan was the culmination of a two-year process. He stated the requirement by the Met Council is for cities to create a 10-year
development/redevelopment plan that spans 20 years. This plan covers 2010-2030. Miller said the requirement of the Met Council is for Falcon Heights to plan to add 250 housing units
by 2030. He said redevelopment would come from along the Larpenteur corridor, where most redevelopment lands exist. He named some of the larger parcels along Larpenteur and the apartment
units along that same corridor. He said the city has not anticipated any changes to the U’s agricultural land in the plan. He explained the residential neighborhoods would remain the
same as well, and the plan encourages best practices in active living, green living, and non-motorized modes of transportation. He said the implementation of the plan is a big step.
He also noted it calls for the elimination of dual-zoning classifications to parcels. Also, it requires a Larpenteur Avenue corridor study. A zoning classification used in past plans,
that the city would like to restore, is a R3 zoning classification. R3 would cover townhomes and condos, etc.
Miller said there are many charts, maps, and data available in the plan. And, once the plan is approved, it will go to the Met Council, where they have three months to approve it. Once
it comes back from them, either their suggested changes or final adoption will occur. Miller thanked the Comp Plan Steering Committee and Planning Commission, and also Deb Jones for
her very hard work on the plan. Council member Harris said the document is great, and she thought it very well done and very useful for making future decisions. Mercer-Taylor said the
city has enjoyed a process where citizens could be involved as much as they like, and the staff has been excellent in maintaining the process of input. Harris added that the plan has
been submitted to neighboring communities. Miller replied the Water Mangement Plan is referenced, and no major changes were made since the initial approval last spring. Kuettel said
the document is very readable, and it gets people excited about the city. She also thanked Deb Jones, the committees, and commissions for all their hard work. Kuettel moved to approve
the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The motion passed unanimously. Information/Announcements: Council member Harris said the Human Rights Commission made a grant proposal to the MN Board of
Human Rights, and have received $1500 for strategic planning and outreach for the commission to enhance its skills. Mercer-Taylor announced the Citizen Corp Conference would be held
Nov. 14-15 at the St. Paul Campus. She added that the Neighborhood Commission decided the state of services for seniors in Falcon Heights would be an initiative in 2009 of the commission.
Council member Long thanked the judges and staff for the hard work on the election last Tuesday. Miller said the U of M women’s soccer team will be having the national’s in Falcon Heights
this weekend. Residents may hear some noise in the surrounding neighborhoods during those games. The pedestrian flashers were installed at Garden/Hamline but an electrical malfunction
will cause a delay of three or four weeks before they are up and running. Council member Kuettel adjourned the meeting at 7:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Stacey Kreuser Assistant City
Administrator/Deputy Clerk
Special Meeting of the City Council December 1, 2008 Members present: Mayor Lindstrom, Council members Harris, Kuettel, and Long, Administrator Miller, Assistant City Administrator/Deputy
Clerk Kreuser, and Finance Director Olson. Mayor Lindstrom called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. He explained the Truth-in-Taxation Hearing is a meeting that is required by the state
of taxing jurisdictions. Administrator Miller began with a presentation to the council on 2008 property taxes and proposed taxes for 2009. He explained that each city has a tax rate,
and Falcon Heights’ rate has remained mostly consistent the last five years. Compared with other taxing authorities, Falcon Heights’ tax rate remains on the lower end of the scale. Miller
added the amount in the general fund reserves has been reduced with this year’s proposed budget, which the council will not have to rely on for next year, as the fund balance is low
enough. He also went through and outlined the tax changes for a median-valued home in Falcon Heights with the 2009 proposed tax. Lastly, Miller explained the differing factors that have
an effect on property taxes. The next section of the presentation dealt with expenditures, with Miller using graphs and data to illustrate where the tax monies in Falcon Heights are
spent. In the final section it was explained to the council, what budget actions were being taken for next year. Some of the items from the budget that were eliminated: reduction in
newsletter expenses, staffing changes, and training. In addition, staff proposed new revenue sources: increasing various fees and permit costs, fire department clean-up costs, licensing,
and room rentals charges. Miller invited anyone with more questions to contact city hall. There were no people in the audience to address the council. Information/Announcements: Council
member Harris announced the Human Rights Commission was awarded a grant by the MN Department of Human Rights for $1500. The commission will be deciding soon on what trainings and enrichment
by December 31 and will notify the State Department. Council member Kuettel announced there is an opening on the Planning Commission for 2009. Applications for all commissions are online.
Council member Long said the Parks/Rec Commission had met, and the boards are up for the ice rinks. The rinks will be flooded as soon as sustainable cold weather is here. He also invited
the community to the Winterfest annual celebration in Community Park on January 25 from 1 -4 p.m. Mayor Lindstrom announced the city was awarded a grant to help pay for pervious pavement
at the city hall parking lot. The city’s partner in the project, the Capital Region Watershed District, awarded $88,000 for the lot reconstruction, which will begin next summer. The
meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Stacey Kreuser Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk

CONSENT F3 12/10/08 ITEM: Revised 2007 Pay Equity Report SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: In 1984, the Minnesota Legislature passed the Local Government Pay
Equity Act. This act created a three-year cycle whereby each unit of local government is required to provide a report on levels of pay for each class of employee, with the goal of achieving
equity among male and female classes. The City of Falcon Heights was required to submit a report by January 31, 2008 based on salary levels as of December 31, 2007. The City Council
approved our report on January 23, 2008 and staff submitted it to the State Department of Employee Relations the following day. Staff used Minnesota Department of Employee Relations
software to tabulate our most recent pay equity report. Using a point system established by the State of Minnesota, the attached reports were produced. On October 21st, staff received
notice that our report was not in compliance because the salary for one of our female classes was less than that of a male class with lower job points. Due to our small staff size, each
employee composes an entire job class. In 2007 (which is the data we were required to use) one of our female employees was earning less than a male employee with fewer comparable worth
job points. Under state law, this cannot occur and resulted in our noncompliance. The good news is that pay adjustments that were made during our first meeting in January rectified this
situation. The female employee’s salary was adjusted in accordance with our compensation policy, and therefore was being paid equal to or more than the employee with fewer job points.
As recommended by the State of Minnesota, we have submitted a revised report for a preliminary review. They have responded by saying that our new report would be in compliance with the
Pay Equity Act. We are required to submit a revised report by the end of the year or face monetary penalties from the State of Minnesota. REQUESTED ACTION: Staff recommends that the
City Council approve the attached revised State of Minnesota Pay Equity report for the City of Falcon Heights.
CONSENT F4 12/10/08 ITEM: Change of funding source for the 2008 General Fund transfer to originate from the Sanitary Sewer (601) instead of the Storm Drainage Fund (602). SUBMITTED BY:
Roland O. Olson, Finance Director REVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator Matt Mayer, CPA, Kern, DeWenter, Viere, Ltd EXPLANATION: In the 2008 budget, a budgeted transfer of $113,797
to the General Fund was to originate from the Storm Drainage Fund (602) to support operating expenses of the city since previous transfers of general revenues had been transferred to
support storm water projects. With the projected city hall parking lot storm water drainage improvements projected in 2009, staff feels that the funds in the Storm Drainage fund would
be more appropriately directed to the city hall parking lot storm water drainage improvements instead of operating expenses. Staff feels that the Sanitary Sewer fund (601) is an appropriate
source of these additional operating expenses. Staff also suggests that instead of transferring the maximum amount of $113,797, that this amount be adjusted to a lower amount to maintain
the fund balance of the General Fund to be approximately the same as the year end 2007 fund balance. ACTION REQUESTED: Change the funding source for the transfer to the General Fund
to originate from the Sanitary Sewer Fund (601) instead of originating from the Storm Drainage Fund (602). Also, transfer only the amount needed to maintain the fund balance in the General
Fund to be approximately the same as the year-end 2007 fund balance.
CONSENT F5 12/10/08 ITEM: New Mileage Reimbursement rate for 2009 SUBMITTED BY: Roland O. Olson, Finance Director REVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION/DESCRIPTION:
The business mileage reimbursement rate allowed by the IRS has been decreased from 58.5 cents per mile in 2008 to 55 cents per mile for 2009. This new rate becomes effective January
1, 2009. The standard mileage rate for business is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile. ACTION REQUESTED: Decrease the mileage reimbursement
rate to the new level approved by the IRS.
CONSENT F6 12/10/08 ITEM: Petition for vacation of Walk 4 to 1742 Tatum Street SUBMITTED BY: Deborah Jones, Zoning and Planning Director REVIEWED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator
Roger Knutson, City Attorney Background/Property Description: Walk 4 is a 12 foot by 152 foot strip of city owned land between1742 Tatum and 1748 Tatum. No record has been found of its
original purpose. The staff theory is that it once provided pedestrian access from Tatum to Lindig Street before Lindig was extended to the north. It has not been used as a walkway for
many years. Owners of the two adjacent properties have gradually extended their landscaping into the parcel and built a fence down the center. In March the city received a petition from
Joseph Youn, owner of 1742 Tatum, to vacate Walk 4. Staff determined that the City of Falcon Heights has no interest in retaining ownership of Walk 4. The required public hearing was
held before the Planning Commission on April 22, 2008. At that time the Planning Commission determined that there is no reason for the city to keep the property and recommended that
the Council approve vacation of Walk 4. Due to a disagreement between the two adjacent neighbors, no further action was taken until the city received a letter signed by both property
owners declaring their willingness to divide Walk 4 in half. That letter has now been received, so the matter is proceeding to the Council at this time. To complete the process, a resolution
of vacation must be adopted by 4/5 of the Council and the city clerk must then prepare a notice of completion to be recorded with Ramsey County. Action Requested: Staff recommends that
the Council approve the resolution of vacation. Attachments: • Site map from Ramsey County GIS • 2006 aerial photo of the properties • Legal notice published April 8 and mailed to owners
of properties within 350 feet on April 10. • Letter from the owners of 1742 Tatum and 1748 Tatum • Resolution of vacation • Minnesota Statute §412.851

POLICY G1 12/10/08 ITEM: Adoption of the 2009 tax levy and budget SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: Roland Olson, Finance Director EXPLANATION: Attached to
this report is the proposed 2009 City of Falcon Heights budget. Work on this document began in June, and it has seen several revisions through discussions held at council workshops,
staff meetings, and truth-in-taxation hearings. The overall general fund budget totals $1,699,786, and includes a tax levy of $974,232. Included in the tax levy is a special levy of
$96,129 for existing debt, as allowed by the levy limit legislation passed this year by the state legislature. The overall tax levy is a 2.17% increase over 2008, but after all factors
are taken into consideration, the effect on a median valued home is a 1.1% decrease in the city portion of the overall tax bill. General Fund 2009 will most likely be a difficult year
due to the large budget deficit at the state level. To prepare for this, staff and the council began discussing ways to lower the amount of money transferred from capital funds to the
general fund. The last time the state had a deficit this large, local government aid (LGA) was reduced and caused cities to dip into reserves. Our reserves have not been replenished
since those LGA cuts, so stemming the flow of funds from capital accounts to the general fund has become a priority. Even after implementing these cuts and new expenditures, we are still
budgeting a transfer of $21,732 from the sanitary sewer fund. However, this is much lower than was anticipated when the preliminary levy was approved and is lower than budgeted in previous
years. Included in this budget are the following expenditure cuts and new revenue sources: Expenditure Cuts Item Savings Reduce contribution to Housing Resource Center $3,000 Reduce
number of newsletters from three to two $1,100 Eliminate webcasting of city meetings $1,000 Remove water coolers from city hall $800 Eliminate consultant planner $2,000 Reduce out-of-state
travel $3,000 Eliminate contingency funds $10,000 Reduce legal budget $2,500 Leave office assistant position unfilled $15,000 Reduce supply budget $3,000 Eliminate finance consultant
$350 Reallocate compensation to enterprise funds $14,000
Eliminate Grove Park warming house $2,000 Reduce legislative training/conferences $500 Reduce Community Park phone lines $600 Reduce tree program training $200 New Revenue Sources Item
Revenue Increase false alarm fees $900 Bill accident victims for fire department response $8,400 Increase uniform parking fine from $25 to $35 $5,000 Increase room rental rates by 10%
$700 Charge non-profits annual fee for room usage $500 Increase mechanical/plumbing/contractor fees $350 Increase variance application fees $100 Enterprise and Special Revenue Funds
Rates for our enterprise fund operations are proposed to increase modestly in 2009. This is due to higher costs from vendors (such as the pass through costs charged to us from Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services) and moving more salaries from the general fund to enterprise operations. Proposed 2009 rates are: 2008 Rate Proposed 2009 Rate Sanitary Sewer $45/quarter
(residential) $.013276/cubic foot (commercial) $48/quarter (residential) $.0141609/cubic foot (commercial) Storm Drainage $15.75/quarter (residential) $147/acre (commercial and apartment)
$16.75/quarter (residential) $156.33/acre (commercial and apartment Water 4% surcharge of water bill 6% surcharge of water bill For the past few years, staff has attempted to update
the budget in an effort to make it a more user-friendly document. Last year we added performance measures to track key indicators and their impacts on the budget. This year we have changed
the font to make it more readable (especially once scanned and placed on the website), and inserted a management letter in the introduction section. This letter frames the budget process,
and also provides an overview of the factors that led to the formulation of the annual budget and tax levy. ACTION REQUESTED: The Council is being asked to adopt resolution 08-14, certifying
the 2009 tax levy. The Council is also being asked to adopt resolution 08-15 for the 2009 budget in the amount of $1,699,786. The council held a public hearing on the 2009 budget on
on December 1, 2008.

City is required to pass a resolution stating its intention to levy for the general obligation debt service or its intention to eliminate all or a portion of the general obligation debt
from the levy. For 2009, staff is recommending that the Council pass a resolution eliminating $28,146 of the

POLICY G3 12/10/08 ITEM: Increase in Uniform Parking Fee SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: During 2009 budget discussions, several alternative revenue sources
were identified to help offset the projected shortfall in our operating budget. One idea discussed was to increase the uniform parking fine established in the city code. The current
fee of $25 for all parking offenses has been in place since at least 1993. Staff is proposing to increase this fee to $35. On average, the city issues around 500 parking tickets per
year. Many of these occur during the State Fair, which brings hundreds of thousands of non-residents to the city each day. The 2009 budget includes an additional $5,000 assuming this
fee is increased (500 tickets X $10 increase). Staff reviewed neighboring community’s parking fines, and $35 is within the range of those we surveyed. It should be noted that the Ramsey
County court system manages and collects our parking violation fees, and they add $5 to each ticket, so so the actual cost of a parking ticket in Falcon Heights will increase from $30
to $40. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council adopt the attached ordinance amendment increasing the uniform parking fee from $25 to $35.
CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 08-05 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 46 OF THE FALCON HEIGHTS CITY CODE CONCERNING UNIFORM PARKING FINE THE CITY COUNCIL
OF FALCON HEIGHTS ORDAINS: SECTION 1. Section 46-27( c ) of the Falcon Heights City Code is amended to provide as follows: (c) Uniform parking fine. There is hereby established a uniform

of the year of a violation. SECTION 2. This ordinance shall be effective immediately upon is passage and publication. ADOPTED this ______ day of ____________, 2008, by the City Council

POLICY G4 12/10/08 ITEM: Ordinance Authorizing Charges for Fire Department Response to Vehicle Accidents SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator Clem Kurhajetz, Fire Chief EXPLANATION:
During 2009 budget discussions, several alternative revenue sources were identified to help offset the projected shortfall in our operating budget. One idea suggested by Fire Chief Clem
Kurhajetz was to implement a fee for our fire department’s response to vehicle accidents. Several other cities have implemented such a charge and have been successful in collecting it.
The proposed ordinance includes a fee per vehicle and applies to emergency services provided by the City that relate to fire and rescue, including, but not limited to, vehicle fires,
vehicle extractions, vehicle fluid spills and responses to damage caused by vehicles to power or gas lines. The charges are billed to the driver’s insurance company, and the ordinance
allows for the city to collect any unpaid fees by levying against the person’s property (if if they are a Falcon Heights resident) or by using an outside collection agency. Chief Kurhajetz
estimates that the fire department responds to two accidents per month on average, so the 2009 budget includes $8,400 for this service (24 accidents X $350 charge). The $350 fee is comparable
to other departments, and is included in the proposed 2009 fee schedule. A majority of the accidents responded to in our city are on major thoroughfares such as Snelling and Larpenteur,
which are travelled by thousands of non-residents. It is anticipated that most of the fees charged will be to people living outside of the city but passing through on these major thoroughfares.
ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council adopt the attached ordinance authorizing the collection of a fee for fire department response to vehicle related
accidents in the City of Falcon Heights.

POLICY G6 12/10/08 ITEM: 2009 Fee Schedule SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: Each year the city council adopts a fee schedule for various city services, permits,
and facility rentals. As has been past practice, staff has reviewed each of these fees and is recommending changes to ensure that the proper amount is being charged. Changes to the 2009
fee schedule are outlined below: General Licenses 2008 Fee Proposed 2009 Fee Contractor License $30 $35 Mechanical Permits 2008 Fee Proposed 2009 Fee Base Fee $25 $30 Gas Piping Each

and apartment) Hydrant Water 4% surcharge 6% surcharge New Fees 2008 Fee Proposed 2009 Fee Rental License NA $50/unit Vehicle Emergency Response NA $350/vehicle In addition, staff is
recommending that we add the following language to section E (facility use by public service organizations): “Any organization that meets the above guidelines yet uses a facility more
than twice a year shall be charged $100 per year.” Staff is making this recommendation because we have several non-profit organizations that meet several times per year in city buildings
yet pay no rental fee. Often we turn away feepaying customers because these times are booked. The schedule still allows for any group denied free rentals the ability to appeal to the
city council. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council adopt the attached resolution adopting the 2009 fee schedule.
