PROPOSED RESOLUTION ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENTS AT FALCON HEIGHTS
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AT 1393 GARDEN AVENUE
At the February 9, 1994 council meeting, the council accepted a petition from the
Roseville School District #623 requesting the city to assess the school district for
certain improvements on the property. 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.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
ITEM DESCRIPTION: Awarding contract for tree removal and tree trimming for
1994
SUBMITTED BY: Linda Treeful, City Forester
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
The city prides itself in its protection and replenishing of its tree resource. 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.

REFERENCES
1. 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.

owner American Family Insurance Group, Madison, Wisconsin)
REVIEWED BY: Planning Commission
Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
Terry Iverson, Fire Marshal
Clem Kurhajetz, Fire Chief
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Facilities. 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.
The planning commission unanimously recommended approval.

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Community
Open House
SUBMITTED BY: Joe Martinez, member of the rescue team
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
Clem Kurhajetz, Fire Chief
Firefighters and rescue personnel
EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
Joe Martinez, a member of the city's rescue team, along with the
support of the fire department is proposing the department's
first emergency medical services (EMS) open house for May 22.
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.

EXPLANATION /SUMMARY:
The Roseville Independent School District #623 and the city
entered into an agreement to have the city assess certain
improvements to the Falcon Heights Elementary School site at 1393
Garden Avenue. The assessment is to be for $250,000. The
assessment will carry a minimum interest rate of 6.1
On February 23, 1994 the city council ordered the preparation of
the plans and specifications for the school improvements.
Following the order for improvements, the city must adopt a
resolution declaring the cost to be assessed and ordering the
proposed assessment to the school district.
This process is streamlined for this project because the school
district waived its right to a public hearing on the proposed
assessment as part of the agreement.

February 8, 1994
Chair Marty McCleery called the meeting to order at 7:10 PM
COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Jeff Alexander, Laura Kuettel, Barbara Leary,
Marty McCleery, and John Hustad, Council liaison.
AMENDMENT OF JANUARY 13, 1994 MINUTES: Marty McCleery asked that the
following sentence on page 1 a) "Departing commissioners are presently required to remain on the
Commission until a replacement is appointed." be deleted from the minutes. The members agreed
with his request. Laura Kuettel asked that the following sentence on page 4, first paragraph,
"Those that would do it would charge a substantial fee." be deleted from the minutes. The
members agreed with her request. Barbara Leary added her work phone number to the
Commission phone list included with the minutes (636 -3650)
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JANUARY 13, 1994: Laura Kuettel moved and Marty
McCleery seconded the approval of the amended January 13, 1994 minutes.
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

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.
