An agreement was approved between the school district and the city for financial arrangements and other requirements governing the assessment for these improvements not to exceed $250,000. The next step is the adoption of a resolution ordering the improvements so they can be assessed to the school district. Gehrz moved adoption of Resolution R -94 -08 and motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION R -94 -08 A RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AT FALCON HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, 1393 GARDEN AVENUE ROSEVILLE AREA HIGH SCHOOL REQUEST FOR USE OF COMMUNITY PARK TENNIS COURTS Carol Kriegler, Parks Recreation Director, appeared before the city council to present the request by Hans Peterson, Roseville Area High School athletic director, for use of the Community Park's tennis courts in the spring and fall of 1994. Kriegler stated the high school's tennis courts are unavailable due to impending construction. The courts would be used Monday through Friday from 2:15 to 4:30 p.m. for practice (until 5:30 p.m. on meet days) from April 1 to June 1, 1994 and from September 6 to mid October, 1994. Sue Gehrz expressed some concern about the non availability of the courts for the community's young people. She questioned if it was possible to promote building relationships between the high school tennis players and the younger people who come to the courts. Tom Baldwin suggested the Park and Recreation Commission look at some alternative activity for the young people during this time period. If approved, Jacobs suggested that staff inform the community about the arrangement by community newsletter and local papers. After further brief discussion, Gibson Talbot moved to grant the request of Roseville Area High School to use the Community Parks's tennis courts at the above times and dates and also with the provisions of the Parks and Recreation Commission that the district post a quality sign Page 3 Council Minutes Feb. 23, 1994 to be located at the site as a convenience to users. The sign shall include (1) hours of school use, (2) brief explanation indicating that the arrangement is temporary and due to construction and (3) listing of alternative courts in the area. Motion carried unanimously. DRAFT REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) FOR POLICE SERVICE Baldwin indicated the city's contract for police service terminates on January 1, 1995. The city plans to seek proposals for police service starting at that time. Prior to preparing the request for proposals, the city did a citywide survey of residents, business persons and fire and rescue personnel. The city also invited residents and business people to attend one of five neighborhood meetings to discuss future police services. Information was obtained about what people value in their police service and this information was incorporated into the RFP. Hustad indicated that he appreciated the comprehensiveness of issues that were covered in the RFP but felt that it was not specific enough about issues the residents are concerned about. Hustad believes we should establish a minimum level below which we would not accept a contract and feels the RFP was worded too open- ended. Jacobs responded it was left open ended intentionally and is not as specific as other RFP's because of the nature of police service. After further discussion, Hustad and Hoyt agreed that some of the questions on pages 8 and 9 of the RFP can be re- phrased to indicate the level of service we expect rather than in the format of a yes or no response. Hustad moved to approve the RFP with suggested changes and distribute to four police service providers, Roseville, Ramsey County, St. Anthony and St. Paul. Motion carried unanimously. ADDITION OF ITEM NO. P -6 TO POLICY AGENDA At this time Mayor Baldwin announced the addition of one item to the agenda as Item No. P -6, Consideration of League of Minesota Cities (LMC) Insurance for Open Meeting Law for Mayor and Councilmembers. PROPOSED CITYWIDE GARAGE SALE FOR SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1993 The Solid Waste Commission is proposing a citywide garage sale to be held on Saturday, May 21 from 9 AM to 4 PM. The commission feels the sale would be the "ultimate" in recycling, as well as a great way to bring the community together for a positive event. There will be guidelines to follow for each participant. Residents will Page 4 Council Minutes Feb. 23, 1994 be notified of this event by a flyer that will be inserted with the March city newsletter. Gehrz suggested that a portion of the proceeds from the sale might be donated to the Park and Recreation Scholarship Fund. After a short discussion, council agreed this would be a project worth undertaking and Jacobs moved to approve the citywide garage sale with any necessary conditions. Motion carried unanimously. REQUEST TO DONATE $100 TOWARD HUMAN RIGHTS' COMMISSIONER'S ATTENDANCE AT THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HUMAN RIGHTS The Human Rights Commission is requesting that their budget of $200 be revised slightly to allow for a one -time $100 contribution toward Gwen Willems' attendance at the International Human Rights Conference in New Brunswick, Canada in June, 1994. This one -time request is made to compliment the Minnesota League of Human Rights contribution toward Gwen's attendance at the conference. The commission feels that the city would benefit from Gwen's additional training in human rights. Gehrz moved to approve the $100 contribution and the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES (LMC) INSURANCE FOR OPEN MEETING LAW FOR MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS The League of Minnesota Cities recently made an insurance policy available for the city to purchase to cover a portion of the legal expenses defending city officials who are challenged with a violation of the open meeting law. The challenged elected official hires an attorney for his /her defense. The LMC plan reimburses the challenged elected official for legal expenses up to 80% of the cost, but not to exceed $20,000. The cost of the policy for the mayor and council is $500 /year. After weighing the pros and cons, Hustad moved to purchase the open meeting insurance policy from the League of Minnesota Cities and motion carried unanimously. MEETING ADJOURNED AT 9:06 P.M.

In order to do this, an annual maintenance, removal and planting program is part of the annual budget. The city's annual tree removal and tree trimming budget is $12,000. The actual dollars spent depends upon the number of city trees that require removal due to disease and storm damage. The city's tree trimming program covers a specific area of the city. In 1993 the city spent $9,957 for tree trimming and tree removal. For 1994, the city requested cost proposals from tree firms for the 1994 tree removal and tree trimming program. Five firms responded to the tree trimming proposal and three responded to the tree removal proposal. The cost for tree removal for 1994 cannot be determined at this time, the costs for removal are based upon last year's removal requirements. Trim Removal Total T.W. and Co. $4,103.53 $2,435.61 $6,539.14 Twin City Tree $6,999.87 $3,028.86 $10,028.73 S &S Tree Specialists $6,999.87 $3,546.45 10,546.32 *Ceres Tree Service $6,838.15 *Rainbow Tree Care $7,769.28 (Only listed a tree trimming price). The staff recommends that the city contract with S S tree services for 1994 for the following three reasons: 1. The city receives better service for tree removal, especially in storm situations where workloads can't be scheduled in advance when it works with the same firm for both tree trimming and tree removal. Therefore, hiring a firm that does both types of work is desirable. 2. The estimated cost of the work by S S is comparable to the next bidder (Twin City Tree) considered by the city and it may well turn out the same as the next bidder, if different size trees are removed since the cost of removal varies on the size of the tree. 3. The tree trimming firm must have demonstrated an ability to trim and remove trees to meet the city forester's standards, which are designed to keep the city's trees as healthy as possible for as long as possible. S S has been very respectful of this city resource and cooperative with the city forester. During the city's 1993 street project, which impacted dozens of large boulevard trees in the Grove neighborhood, S S responded to all questions and emergencies extremely promptly. Frequently, the S S owner rescheduled crews so that a trained specialist could assist with tree trimming and inspections within less an hour of a request from the city on weekdays or weekends. The city has not always experienced this prompt response and concern for its trees as demonstrated by S S.

T.W. and Co. Lowest price. However, only two references were listed (5 were requested). One reference said they always had to go with the lowest bidder. As far as he knew, the only contract this company had was with him. They did not do any stump removal for him. Their trimming cuts were not done correctly and he had to give them special directions. The company trimmed trees on Hoyt when it was still a county road and the cuts were made improperly. The other reference listed is on leave. 2. Twin City Tree No cities listed as references, only private individuals. Topped a tree on Tatum last year which we received numerous complaints about. Talked with the forester later in the summer and was argumentative about the cause of a private elm becoming infected with Dutch elm disease. That elm was partially removed during the discussion and many of the tree branches lying on the ground were propped up against the side of the house, suggesting they'd brushed against the house during their removal. 3. S S Tree Specialists, Inc. References were checked in 1992 before contracting with them for tree trimming and all the references were favorable, actually glowing. 4. Ceres References were checked in 1992 before awarding the tree trimming contract. Comments indicated questions about their competence in trimming and getting work done in a timely fashion. Rated them as having good workers and doing the job in accordance with specifications. 5. Rainbow TreeCare Most expensive proposal. Meeting Date: 3/9/94 Agenda Item: C 4 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Accept donation of temporary sprinkler system installation for fire department training exercise SUBMITTED BY: Clem Kurhajetz, Fire Chief REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: The fire deparmtent plans to use 2061 West Larpenteur Avenue for a series of training drills prior to its demolition by the city. As part of that exercise the fire department received a proposed contribution for the installation of an automatic fire suppression system in one room of the structure from Local Union 14 the automatic fire suppression /pipefitters union. The union personnel will install and remove the system. The offer is being extended to accomplish the following: 1. To promote a public service announcement by fire officials that residential sprinklers will save lives. 2. To visually show fire department personnel the installation of a fire suppression system. (Doug LeMay requested the installation be done on a Tuesday drill night.) 3. To promote a video tape to be developed for a PSA for the government access channel for Falcon Heights. The fire chief and training officer are requesting council acceptance of this donation to assist them with their training exercise. There will be no cost to the city and no advertising is involved except for an acknowledgement on the video credits. ACTION REQUESTED: Accept the donation of a sprinkler system from the Local Union 14 for use in a fire department training exercise.

The request, then, is being changed to the following: Boys Team: Sept. 6 mid October, 1994 2:15 4:30 p.m. for practice (until 5:30 p.m. on meet days) Girls Team: April 1 to June 1, 1995 2:15 4:30 p.m. for p ractice (until 5:30 p.m. on meet days) In regard to the possibility of tennis team involvement in potential city -based summer tennis programs, (i.e., youth leagues or tournament lessons, clinics), Hans Peterson has indicated a sincere interest and willingness for cooperation and participation.

Unlike most one -story retail shopping centers built in the 1980's that were constructed on concrete slabs, the Bullseye Shopping Center has approximately 14,800 square feet of finished basement space. The space is difficult to lease because it is not at street level for commercial retail activities. The space far exceeds the amount of storage that the typical retail tenants in Bullseye require. Therefore, in order to bring in some revenue from this vacant space that is sprinklered and has elevator access, the property manager is requesting that the area be leased for storage of materials that will not create a fire hazard in the building. Neighboring property owners. As required in the conditional use permit process, property owners within 350 feet of the premises were notified of the request for a conditional use permit for storage in the Bullseye Center. As of this writing no neighboring property owners contacted the city with their comments or concerns regarding this request. Staff review and report. The staff is familiar with the financial constraints created by the empty basement area. Staff is also familiar with the age, condition and layout of the basement. After discussing this proposal, the staff finds that the proposed use for low hazard storage materials is reasonable. This is because the basement is built to the fire code standards of the early 1980's, is sprinklered, has two exits, has elevator access and is open. The fire marshal annually inspects this facility for its compliance to the Uniform Fire Code. The staff recommends granting the conditional use permit with the following proposed conditions: Proposed conditions for basement storage at 1533 to 1557 West Larpenteur Avenue Bullseye Center 1. That the shopping center continue to be in compliance with the current Minnesota Uniform Fire Code as it applies to structures of this age and construction including maintenance of sprinkler systems, storage of materials, access and other items identified in the fire code. 2. That loading and unloading of storage materials be done in timely manner to minimize any obstructions in the alley. This loading and unloading should be between 8 AM and 8 PM on Mondays through Fridays and 9 AM to 4 PM on Saturdays to minimize disruptions to neighboring property owners. 3. That all storage items be a light ordinary hazard class and shall not contain mixtures of other hazardous classes, specifically not including items gasoline, oil, batteries, tires and gasoline fired engines and other items considered hazardous by the fire marshal. 4. That no smoking signs be installed and visible in the storage area. 5. That no storage shall a. be over six feet high or within eighteen inches of a fire sprinkler head b. be within thirty inches of mechanical and electrical flame sources c. reduce the access aisle from 44 inches to make it easy for fire personnel to move about in the space 6. That any stored items not specifically identified in the light hazard class be reviewed by the fire marshal and approved by the city administrator. 7. That an evacuation plan with proposed storage areas be submitted to the fire marshal for review and approved by the city administrator. APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS: The city council must approve a conditional use permit requested by a property owner if the property owner demonstrates that the conditions for granting the permit can be met.

This is the last day of EMS week. The purpose of the open house is to acquaint the community with many aspects of the city's rescue service and to educate the community about first aid safety. Medical emergencies provide the greatest demand for the city's public safety emergency services with 182 medical calls in 1993. Joe has been actively involved in the annual fall fire department open house which typically stresses fire prevention. There are several program ideas being proposed for this day. It may be possible for the city to combine a focus on rescue services with a stress on bike safety. Carol Kriegler, the city's park and recreation director, and Joe are considering combining a bike rodeo safety event with the EMS event in order to effectively involve the rescue workers with bike safety education. The proposed open house is planned for the day after the citywide garage sale on May 21. However, staff feels there would be little conflict between the events since they are very different in nature. Finally, staff is requesting that the council authorize $275 for the purchase of 500 static stickers with key medical emergency information to put by a telephone (attachment A). This money is not budgeted for such information, but it could come from underspending in another category or from the contingency fund without jeopardizing the city's budget. The Fire Relief Association plans to match the city's funds with its funds to kick off this event.

Agenda Item: (D3) Continuation of work on proposed city wide garage sale and preparation of recommendation to city Council: Laura Kuettel discussed the proposed garage sale and Shirley Chenoweth's guidance toward the writing of the Council recommendation. The proposal must be completed by February 16 for presentation to the council's next meeting. Laura listed all of the necessary components of the resolution which included Commission Guidelines and the rationale for having a city wide garage sale, Roseville police involvement, advertising estimates and activities. Laura Kuettel suggested that not more than $125.00 would be needed for advertising the sale. She also suggested that an article would be published in the City Newsletter. She also said that she was working with Jerry Rueittiman, Roseville Police Liaison, to involve the Neighborhood Block Captains in the advertising process. Discussion continued around the distribution of identification balloons and registration prior to the sale. Involvement of the city hall staff will be minimal. Jeff Alexander volunteered to do the map after the registration was completed. Laura Kuettel will continue her inquiries and city business involvement will be discussed at the next Commission meeting. Marty McCleery restated the purpose of the garage sale as a effort to continue to support: Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse. Laura Kuettel will be attending the child safety seat recall meeting and will report back to the Commission at the next meeting. She will also talk to the Lions Club about possible involvement with the garage sale. Items for the final Guidelines will be firmed up at the next meeting. It was requested that Susan Smith contact the St. Anthony Park garage sale people about their guidelines. Jeff Alexander volunteered to draft the resolution for the Council; John Hustad will assist. Student Representation on the Commission: Barbara Leary reported on her inquiries about student representation on the Commission. Contacts were made to Falcon Heights Elementary, the Roseville Area High School Activity Director, and a former elementary Falcon Heights teacher. An effort to find a Falcon Heights high school student who might be interested Solid Waste Commission Minutes February 8, 1994 1 was not successful. However, a seventh grade student at the middle school, Catherine Mackiewicz expressed interest and completed an application form for the position as student representative. Barbara Leary also shared the recycling work begin done by students at Falcon Heights Elementary. She asked Commission members to reconsider their January 13 discussion of the age of the student representative as well as requiring that the representative be a Falcon Heights Elementary graduate. Curriculum work being done by Ramsey County Solid Waste representatives was also discussed; Cathi Lyman-Onkka would like to present the K -12 materials to the Commission at some future meeting. The presentation would include an overview of the materials as well as working through an exercise -time: 45 minutes. Also, the Future Problem Solving competitions for the 93 -94 school year include solid waste management problem solving. The Commission members agreed that Catherine Mackiewicz should be given the opportunity to be the student representative since she had shown enthusiasm and interest in the position. Marty McCleery directed Barbara Leary to send Catherine's application to Susan Hoyt for the council's consideration. Recycling Contract Update: John Hustad reviewed the EZ Recycling contract approved by the city Council this past month. Some of the highlights of the contract were: elimination of the fifth Friday collection (a savings of $1200 will be realized); negotiators were not successful in adding plastic bags or cereal boxes to the list of recyclables; the contract will be for 3 years with performance measures included. EZ is working on possibly adding junk mail, aerosol cans, and textiles in the future. The Commission's recommendation for spot market price reporting by EZ was not discussed by the Council. Superfund Notes: Marty McCleery shared a copy of a recent Environment Reporter which discussed Superfund information relating to municipalities and their subsequent liability relating to hazardous waste. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 PM. Respectfully submitted, „2 Barbara B. Leary, Substitute Scretary Solid Waste Commission Minutes February 8, 1994 2
