Falcon Heights City Council Meeting October 8, 2008 Members present: Mayor Lindstrom, Council members Harris, Kuettel, Long, and Mercer-Taylor, Administrator Miller, Assistant City Administrator/Depu
y Clerk Kreuser. Mayor Lindstrom called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The minutes of the September 25 special meeting were approved unanimously. Mayor Lindstrom announced the winners
of the Human Rights Poster Contest as Samuel Justice Stewart and Lillian Grace Stewart. Council member Harris explained the Human Rights Commission wanted to boost it’s identity throughout
the city and decided to hold a poster contest in conjunction with the state’s contest. The two winner’s posters will be sent to the state contest. She added that with two entries, the
commission hopes for more enthusiasm next year. The two winners received tickets to a show at the Youth Performance Company. Consent Agenda: Council member Kuettel moved the following
two items for approval after she pointed out the first relief aid pass through. The motion passed unanimously. 1. General Disbursements through 10/1/08: $97,974.96 Payroll through 10/1/08:
$15,276.73 2. City Licenses Policy Agenda: 1. Adoption of New City Slogan Administrator Miller began the item by explaining the process the city used for the new slogan. He said there
were 50 entries received, and the city council narrowed their choices to two: “the City that Soars,” and “Families, Fields, and Fair.” At the student-council meeting, students took a
vote and they chose by an 85-21 vote “the City that Soars.” Council member Kuettel said it was a nice way to search, with varied methods for collecting slogans. Council member Harris
said she has been asked why the city needs to have a slogan at all. The city is trying to bring visibility and wants to be more identifiable to everyone, and by putting the slogan on
banners, signs, and on the website, it is a step of that sort. Miller added the slogan would be printed on the website, on new shipments of letterhead, business cards, and within staff’s
email signatures. Council member Mercer-Taylor said that students feel affiliated with the falcon from FH Elementary. Mayor Lindstrom agreed there were several good comments and good
arguments by the students for both slogans. Council member Long said he liked “Families, Fields, and Fair” better, because of the identity it gives to the city through the unique characteristics
Falcon Heights is known for. Mayor Lindstrom said he likes both but thought “the City that Soars” gives a better inspirational image of launching into the future and was more memorable
and easier to say than the other was. Council member Harris and Mercer-Taylor conversed about how the students liked it for the bird connection, but had trouble remembering the order
of the other slogan. Harris added there are no falcons here. Mercer-Taylor added a visual cue on the website while using “the City that Soars” as the slogan made a better sound bite.
Harris said she liked the identity theme with “families, fields, and fair,” but the order can be jumbled. Long replied that it would become more recognizable with time, and it is only
a few words to remember.
Council member Harris asked for the item to be tabled so staff could figure out how to incorporate both. The item was tabled. 2. Community Park Tennis Court Reconstruction Administrator
Miller said the tennis courts are in bad shape at Community Park, and the council put money in the CIP for a resurface this year. After consulting with engineers, it was determined the
courts were too far-gone for a resurface and a reconstruction was required. He explained the USTA would cover 30% of costs associated with a reconstruction through a grant. The grant
has been applied for, but the city has not heard back about it. Three bids were solicited, and TA Schifsky was the lowest. The project will cost $56,580 for reconstruction and engineering,
and with the 30% coverage by USTA, the city portion would be $39,606. He said $10,000 was budgeted for 2008 for the resurface, and another $10,000 was budgeted for the basketball court
resurfacing. The basketball courts can wait, and with 25,000 coming from the Larpenteur Avenue Avenue streetscape line item, (TIF funds can be used for that project). Approval by the
council is contingent on the grant. The contractor thought the project would be finished this year and the courts will be ready for the 08-0 rec season. Council member Kuettel asked
about the $3600 for engineering. Miller said the scope of work was outside the city staff’s expertise, and that would cover the USTA’s specific requirements. Council member Harris said
through creative funding, the city could get it done and thought it was a good idea. Mayor Lindstrom agreed, stating the courts are heavily used and are in poor shape. Kuettel added
the city has the park lease for another 20 years as well. Administrator Miller also noted there is a possibility of finding a grant for the basketball courts next year. Kuettel said
that it was difficult to vote for the project when money is tight and personnel cannot be hired. Mayor Lindstrom pointed out that by not giving approval, the city would be passing up
$17,000 in grant money. Council member Mercer-Taylor moved to approve the Community Park Tennis Court Reconstruction. The motion passed unanimously. Information/Announcements: Council
member Mercer-Taylor attended the CRWD meeting and learned about resources available to homeowners for watershed initiatives like rain gardens. Council member Harris said the Human Rights
Commission is awaiting response to a grant application from the State Department of Human Rights to enhance the skills of the commission – reaching out to new residents/immigrant groups.
Council member Long encouraged residents to sign up for the music classes through parks/rec. Mayor Lindstrom asked residents to sign up for the Rake-A-Thon on Oct 25. Administrator Miller
said the Fire Department Open House was well-attended. On Oct 16 is the open house for the Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape, 6:30 – 8 at City Hall. Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk
Kreuser said anyone needing to vote absentee could stop by city hall or call to request a ballot. The meeting meeting was adjourned at 7:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Stacey Kreuser
Assistant City Administrator/Deputy Clerk

CONSENT F2 10/22/08 ITEM: Adoption of Assessment Roll for Removal of Hazardous Tree SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: During our city forester’s routine tree
inspections, he determined that a tree in the rear yard of 1771 Arona Street was dangerous and constituted a hazard. According to the city code, the city forester has the authority to
require that hazardous trees be removed (Sec. 54-38). The homeowner was notified of this problem but did not have the ability to remove the tree herself or contract with a tree trimming
company. Staff contacted our tree removal company and they supplied a quote to remove the hazardous section of the tree in the amount of $2,175. Staff and the homeowner agreed to have
the city remove the hazardous section and to assess it to her property taxes beginning in 2009. The assessment will be spread over five years at a 6% interest rate. The property owner
has agreed to these terms, and has signed the attached “public improvement and special assessment agreement.” By having the city complete this work, the hazardous tree will be removed
and will eliminate a dangerous condition for both the property owner’s house as well as the neighboring properties. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council
adopt the attached assessment roll and approve the public improvement and special assessment agreement. ATTACHMENTS: Resolution 08-11 Public Improvement and Special Assessment Agreement

POLICY G1 10/22/08 ITEM: Adoption of New City Slogan -Continued SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: Earlier this year, the city council initiated a contest for
residents to suggest a new City of Falcon Heights slogan. The response was very positive, with close to 50 suggestions coming in by email, through the website, and at the Ice Cream Social.
At the August 6th city council workshop, the council narrowed down the slogans to two choices: 1) “The City That Soars” 2) “Families, Fields and Fair” During a special city council-Falcon
Heights Elementary student meeting, these two suggestions were debated and voted upon by the students. The result of the voting was: The City That Soars 85 votes Families, Fields and
Fair 21 votes At the October 8th city council meeting, staff was directed to report back with suggestions on how both slogans could be used in marketing our city. Staff developed the
following suggestions: 1) City letterhead – when our current supply runs out and new letterhead is ordered, the chosen slogan could be prominently displayed towards the top of the page,
and the other slogan could be placed on the bottom, where the phrase “Home of the Minnesota State Fair and the U of M Institute of Agriculture” is located. 2) City website – the masthead
currently displays our website address – www.falconheights.org. This could be replaced with the city slogan, and the bottom of the page, which has our contact information, could be replaced
with the other slogan. 3) City photo contest – our first annual contest was held this year, and it is anticipated that the contest will continue in future years. The contest theme could
be one of the chosen slogans. 4) Newsletters and Flyers – we can make it a practice to include either or both slogans in our printed materials. These are just a few examples, and staff
is confident that other outlets could be used in promoting both ideas. ACTION REQUESTED: A formal motion is needed from the city council in order to officially change the City of Falcon
Heights’ slogan.

POLICY G2 10/22/08 ITEM: Rental Housing Licensing Ordinance SUBMITTED BY: Justin Miller, City Administrator EXPLANATION: For several months, the city council has been discussing the
implementation of a rental housing licensing ordinance. After receiving input during city council meetings, staff and the city attorney have prepared the attached version of the rental
licensing program. Key points of the program include: 1) Licenses would be required if the term of the lease is at least four months and only applies to buildings with one to four living
units (Sec. 105-87, rental dwelling). 2) Information required to be provided by the landlord includes the owners name and address, legal address of the property, and number/type of units
being rented (Sec. 105-89). 3) License fees shall be established by the city council (Sec. 105-91). At this time, staff is recommending that a $50 fee be established to cover the costs
of inspections and administering the program. 4) Inspections will be required before a license will be granted. Items to be inspected are listed in section 105, article III of the Falcon
Heights city code, which defines basic requirements on all housing units in the city (Sec. 105-93). Items which will be inspected include kitchen appliances, adequate plumbing, egress
windows, door locks, windows, heating facilities, electricity, sound exterior and interior walls, and safe stairways. Regular code enforcement violations that fall under Chapter 22 (blight)
will also be recorded as violations and can be cause for termination of the rental license (Sec. 105-94). 5) Specific crime free/drug free language is required to be included in all
tenant leases (Sec. 105-95). Violations of the drug free aspects of the lease or section (a)(2)(c) requires the landlord to terminate the lease within 10 days, and the unit cannot be
leased to an evicted tenant for one year (Sec. 105.95(b)). If there are three violations within a twelve month period of the crime free lease requirements listed under Sec. 105-95(a)(2),
the landlord must also terminate the lease within 10 days and not lease the unit to an evicted tenant for one year (Sec. 105.95(f)). Calls made to the police for emergency or police
assistance or to assist in cases of domestic abuse do not qualify under these sections (Sec. 105.95(g)). 6) Licenses may be revoked by the city council, after a public hearing, for any
violations of these requirements or any other city code provision (Sec. 105-96). Once this ordinance is approved, staff will begin sending letters to properties known to house rental
units. Staff will also consistently watch for properties that are suspected to have been converted to rental units, and will promote and advertise this new program through our normal
communication channels. The program will begin on January 1, 2009, with inspections beginning shortly thereafter.
ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends that the Falcon Heights City Council adopt the attached ordinance establishing a rental housing licensing program.

POLICY G3 10/22/08 ITEM: Water Resource Management Plan SUBMITTED BY: Deb Bloom, City Engineer EXPLANATION: The need for developing the City’s Water Resource Management Plan (WRMP) plan
was the direct result of comments from the Metropolitan Council and Capital Region Watershed District after their review of our draft 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The draft 2008 Comprehensive
Plan contains a chapter on Storm Water Management; however, these reviewing agencies determined that it did not meet the requirements of state statutes. The Metropolitan Surface Water
Management Act of 1982 required all communities in the seven county metropolitan area to prepare a local surface water management plan. The intention of the act was to prevent water
problems through planning and management. Management of a water body requires control of contributing drainage areas. Therefore, the act requires the preparation of a water management
plan for every watershed unit. Watershed districts and water management organizations within the metro area were charged with preparing and implementing these plans. Once the plans were
prepared and approved by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), each Local Government Unit (LGU) within the watershed was to prepare a local plan to bring the management into
conformance with the watershed plan. In 1995, Minnesota Statutes Section 473.859, subd 2., was amended to make the local surface water management
plan a component of the local comprehensive plan. In order to meet state statute the City needed to develop a stand alone WRMP. The City Engineer used the following documents as a basis
for the WRMP: the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, the City’s 2001 Stormwater Inventory, and the City’s Stormwater ordinance. This information was edited and supplemented to develop the plan.
The WRMP has been reviewed by all the Watershed Management Organizations as well as the Metropolitan Council and has been found satisfactory. We will need to revise the Comprehensive
Plan to ensure that it is consistent with the new WRMP. The section of the plan most impacted is; Chapter III. Physical Systems: Transportation, Utilities, Storm Water Management, Section
4. Storm Water Management. Staff has been working on these edits and will have them incorporated in the final draft of the Comprehensive Plan. The purpose of a Water Resource Management
Plan (WRMP) is to: Assess existing water quantity and quality issues. Assess potential problems and opportunities for natural resource enhancement in light of anticipated development
within each watershed. Formulate practical goals and strategies to correct existing problems, to prevent potential problems, and to take advantage of opportunities to enhance water related
natural resources.
The Plan contains the following sections: Introduction Executive Summary Purpose Water Resource Management Agreements: describes the ownership and maintenance responsibility for all
of the storm sewer facilities within the City of Falcon Heights. Land and Water Resources Inventory: describes the physical environment including precipitation, topography, geology,
groundwater, soils, watersheds, drainage patterns, dominant land uses, and significant waterbodies within the City. Policies and Goals: a list of the Capitol Region Watershed District
goals and policies adopted by the City of Falcon Heights. Problem Area Assessment: Describes the different watersheds that are within the City of Falcon Heights and issues related to
each area. Implementation Program: describes the City’s intent to implement capital improvements in cooperation with the Watershed Districts. Capitol Improvement Plan: Describes the
projects included in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan Plan Updates and Amendments. Describes the processes processes to update this plan. Action Requested: Approve Water Resource
Management Plan
