California Avenue POLICY AGENDA A REQUEST FOR A conditional use permit FOR THE OPERATION OF A SECONDHAND CLOTHING STORE AT 1583 NORTH HAMLINE AVENUE IN A SHOPPING CENTER BUILDING Administrator Hoyt outlined the conditional use permit request and the proposed conditions that would be placed upon a second hand clothing store. Hoyt stressed to the council that they would not be approving this particular business, but rather the business use. If approved, future second hand clothing stores at this address would not need a new conditional use permit, but would instead be obligated to abide by the conditions set at this meeting. She also City Council Minutes September 28, 1994 Page 2 noted that the planning commission had reviewed the request and recommended approval with the conditions as outlined. Dirk Bordsen, the property owner, and James Bonner, the proprietor of the business, were in attendance. Mayor Baldwin commented that he was not pleased to see that the owner and proprietor had decided to ignore city regulations by opening their store prior to being granted their business license. He noted that the store would be watched carefully in the future and all code violations will be addressed promptly. Motion by Councilmember Jacobs to approve the conditional use permit with the conditions as presented. Motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION REGARDING AN ORDINANCE RESTRICTING HOURS OF AVAILABILITY OF TENNIS COURTS AT COMMUNITY PARK Parks and Recreation Director Carol Kriegler reviewed the current status of lighting at the Community Park tennis courts. She explained that current code calls for a 10:00 p.m. closing time for all parts of the park except for the tennis courts, which are open 24 hours with a timed light. Kriegler said that she had received complaints regarding late night noise associated with tennis play. In response to these complaints, staff distributed a survey to abutting neighbors of the park in Falcon Heights and Roseville. Survey responses found that five residents had concerns about the noise from the tennis courts. The parks and recreation commission reviewed the issue and by a 4 -1 vote recommended that the court lights be turned off at 10:00 p.m. each evening. The council discussed several possible closing times and the merits and practicality of each. It was concluded that an earlier closing time was probably a reasonable request. The council noted that there were other tennis courts available within one mile of Community Park that are not near residential homes. A 10:00 closing time was agreed upon as that is the time that the rest of the park is closed. Motion by Councilmember Gibson Talbot to amend the Chapter 3 -4.01 of the city code, establishing a uniform closing time of 10:00 p.m. for all parts of city parks. Motion passed unanimously. REPORT REGARDING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY PARK PATHWAY AND VITA COURSE EXERCISE STATIONS Parks Director Kriegler and Public Works /Parks Superintendent Klingenberg outlined proposed improvements to the Community Park pathway and exercise equipment. Klingenberg explained that about 1200 linear feet of the pathway at Community Park would be improved. The current pathway is rutted and is in need of rehabilitation. Staff has contacted the City of Roseville and have City Council Minutes September 28, 1994 Page 3 arranged to borrow some of their equipment in an effort to contain costs. As for the exercise stations, staff is recommending that two new stations be added and that all the sign posts and frames be replaced due to deteriorating condition. Staff will be able to perform the labor for the exercise stations; the pathway rehabilitation will require the assistance of a contractor. Motion by Councilmember Gehrz to authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Albrecht Company for pathway reconstruction (cost not to exceed $6,338.00) and $2,725.00 for materials related to the improvement of the exercise stations. These expenditures are to be charged to the Parks Capital Improvement Fund. Motion passed unanimously. CITY INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Councilmember Gehrz announced that Dr. Peter Benson would be speaking at Roseville High School on September 29th. She also announced that volunteers would be needed for "Turn Off the Violence" day on October 22nd. Mayor Baldwin noted that due to employment commitments he will not be able to attend the scheduled council retreat in November. Administrator Hoyt indicated that she would contact all councilmembers to find a suitable replacement date, probably November 11 -12, 1994. Councilmember Gibson Talbot had a message from the parks and recreation commission, namely that they are very pleased with the success of the summer programs and the efforts of staff to improve upon the condition of the city parks. Administrator Hoyt noted that fall and winter park programs and Cities Week activities were in progress and that the City Accountant's position posting had closed. She also noted that the St. Anthony Police might be seen in Falcon Heights over the next few weeks, as they are acclimating themselves to the city's streets.

The commission initially met to work on ways that communities could curtail drug use by youth. However, the commission has broadened its focus to include a wider range of community and youth initiatives. MCAD is annually funded by the State of Minnesota Prevention and Intervention Initiative. The grant involves the departments of public safety and education, the office of drug policy and office of community collaboration. This year MCAD will be asking for $50,000. In past years, MCAD has operated out of the City of Roseville and, therefore, the City of Roseville sponsored the grant application and handled administrative details. However, given the collaborative nature of MCAD, it seems appropriate to share the administrative responsibilities among the four participating communities. MCAD requested that Falcon Heights be the sponsor for 1995. This requires signing off on the grant proposal to the state and providing the administrative base for the organization. The administrative tasks include issuing checks to the MCAD consultant as well as copying and mailing monthly meeting information. The grant application includes funds to cover the material costs for mailing and copying. The city would contribute some clerical labor to doing these activities. Since the consultant has a home office, it will not require providing office space nor answering most phone calls for MCAD. ACTION REQUESTED: Approve sponsoring the Mayors Commission Against Drugs which includes signing off on the grant proposal to the state and providing administrative support for 1995. Meeting Date: 10/12/94 Agenda Item: P 2 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Report on the Ramsey County Charter Commission SUBMITTED BY: Jim Theurer, Ramsey County staff EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: Jim Theurer of the Ramsey County staff will update the council on the Ramsey County Charter Commission. ACTION REQUESTED: Listen and ask questions of county representative Jim Theurer. INFORMATION INFORMATION INFORMATION INFORMATION Meeting Date: 10/12/94 Agenda Item: 1 -1 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Minutes SUBMITTED BY: Solid Waste Commission EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: a. Minutes of the June 2, 1994 Solid Waste Commission meeting. b. Minutes of the July 14, 1994 Solid Waste Commission meeting. c. Minutes of the September 8, 1994 Solid Waste Commission meeting. MINUTES Falcon Heights Solid Waste Commission June 2, 1994 Chair Marty McCleery called the meeting to order at 7:07 p.m. COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Jeff Alexander, Michael Haglund, Laura Kuettel, Barbara Leary, Marty McCleery, Mary Pat McGinnis, Susan Smith, John Hustad (council liaison), and Carla Asleson (staff representative). COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT: John Brynildson and Catherine Mackiewicz. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the meeting of May 12, 1994, were approved on motion of Laura Kuettel, seconded by Jeff Alexander. CITYWIDE GARAGE SALE: Commission members and city staff received many favorable comments and very few negative comments regarding the first city -wide garage sale held on May 21, 1994. One resident submitted written comments. The consensus was that the sale was a great success the weather was favorable, participation by residents and shoppers was mull, and the event met its goal of "recycling" unwanted but usable items while also fostering camaraderie and a sense of community. The Commission viewed the videotape of the event (produced by John Hustad) and discussed the possibility of using the tape to publicize the next city -wide sale. Specific observations and suggestions included the following: The balloons did not last very long in the heat and wind_ Stronger balloons, possibly with less air, might work better. Streets with fewer participating residents would have benefitted from better marking. Residents could be enlisted to put up more balloons themselves. The "No Parking" signs on some streets caused confusion. The city could approve covering the signs on the day of the sale. Some shoppers and residents asked that future sales be two days rather than one, but the negatives appear to outweigh the positives in this regard. Among other things, most residents are not likely to participate for both days, and nonparticipating residents may be bothered by two days of heavy traffic. Some areas of the city were better organized than others. Block captains could be enlisted next year to help coordinate sales. Business participation was mixed. Some business owners wanted to distribute maps but didn't know how to get them, while others claimed not to have known about the event at #S sue s ■s all. Earlier contact with business owners and more coordination of their activities would result in better commercial participation. The business districts could be divided into areas and one business could be designated as the map distribution point for each area, or businesses could be invited to let the Commission know if they want maps to distribute. Some people thought the maps were too detailed; others thought they were not detailed enough. More reference points could be included to help visitors find their way around. The map distribution points could have been better publicized. Some residents did not know about the maps or wanted to have a few for distribution. More maps could be made available to participating residents through block captains, or residents could be invited to pick up maps at City Hall. Preshoppers were evident the day before and early on the morning of the sale, and some residents started their sales before the official hour. There was some discussion of proposing an ordinance to regulate sales on the citywide sale date, but the Commission and the City are not in a position to police these activities. The official date and hours can be announced, but residents may choose not to comply. The date chosen for the sale seemed to be a good one, falling after the fishing opener and Mother's Day but before Memorial Day. The primary conflicts were weddings and graduations. The corresponding date for next year is May 20, 1995. Combined sales were reported to have worked well in certain neighborhoods, especially on alleys. This suggestion can be included in guidelines to residents before the next sale. Concerns about security and unwanted traffic were raised before the sale, but no complaints were received afterward. Some residents apparently thought a pickup had been arranged for leftover items. The list of dropoff sites was distributed to participating residents, and the confusion was not significant. As followup, the Commission will conduct an informal survey of some residents and businesses to get feedback and suggestions for next year. Barbara Leary, Jeff Alexander, and Mary Pat McGinnis will develop a list of questions which the Commission will finalize at the July meeting. PROJECT CHILDSAFE: Further details of the car seat collection were discussed. Project Childsafe will train the Lions volunteers to take in used car seats just before the Ice Cream Social. Laura Kuettel will coordinate. To avoid any confusion about what is meant by "car seats", press releases prior to the collection will indicate that infant, toddler, and boosters seats will be accepted. Mary Pat McGinnis will draft press releases. The seats which are collected will be placed in the City's truck. Pictures of the collection will be taken with the City's camera. Carla Asleson will determine how the collection can be handled if it rains on the day of the ice cream social. As an informational item, Shoreview reported that it took in up to 30 car seats at its cleanup day, of which five were suitable for refurbishing and reuse. ICE CREAM SOCIAL: Discussion continued regarding a possible Solid Waste Commission booth at the ice cream social. Rather than preparing an informational sheet for the event, the Commission decided to distribute the disposal guide and the calendar showing recycling dates, both of which have previously been prepared. Ramsey County also publishes information which could be made available. Mike Haglund and John Brynildson will look into the availability of "freebies" such as magnets or pens from various industrial sources. Recycling signs can be available free of charge, and extra recycling bins can be offered for sale. A drawing may be held to give away a few bins. Bins will also be used to construct the Commission's display (subject to engineering limitations). Staffing of the booth is to be determined. COMMERCIAL RECYCLING SURVEY: Discussion continued of the possibility of surveying Falcon Heights businesses regarding their recycling practices and needs. The purpose would be to evaluate the effectiveness of commercial recycling efforts and determine whether the City can be of assistance in encouraging participation. The City could even consider instituting mandatory and/or organized recycling for businesses, but would need to address issues such as the type of products and location of businesses, as well as the cost and administrative burden to the City. A survey of businesses regarding recycling has previously been done; Carla Asleson will check the City's records for the results of that survey. Ramsey County has previously committed to working with businesses on a county-wide basis. The Commission will ask the County for an update of its activities in that regard. On the motion of Susan Smith, seconded by Michael Haglund, the meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Susan K. Smith, Secretary 9999- 1779401 3 MINUTES FALCON HEIGHTS SOLID WASTE COMMISSION JULY 14, 1994 Members Present: Barbara Leary, Catherine Mackiewicz, Mary Pat McGinnis, Carla Asleson (staff representative) Members Absent: Jeff Alexander, John Brynildson, Michael Haglund, Laura Kuettel, Marty McCleery, Susan Smith, John Hustad (council representative) PRESENTATION BY CATHI LYMAN ONKKA, RAMSEY COUNTY Cathi Lyman -Onkka of the Ramsey County Solid Waste Department, described the different solid waste curriculums available for use in schools. with the exception of one high school program, all were geared toward younger children. All programs are available through the Office of Environmental Assistance if educators are interested in further details. She also noted that youth are often involved in community waste related projects, such as community clean -ups and art contests. As for Commercial /Institutional /Industrial programs in Falcon Heights, Cathi noted that several businesses had requested County assistance with their recycling programs, among them Harvest States, Midwest Computer Exchange, and the Northome Shopping Center. She also stated that a business is most likely to start a recycling program if the demand comes from the business' customers. Usually, encouragement from government is not effective unless the business' customer is demanding the service. OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA Due to the lack of members in attendance, approval of the minutes and discussion regarding the city garage sale were postponed to the September meeting. It was noted for the minutes that the August meeting had been canceled due to a number of requests from commissioners. Re pectfully submitted, Carla Asleson, Staff Representative MINUTES Falcon Heights Solid Waste Commission September 8, 1994 Chair Marty McCleery called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. ROLL CALL: P Jeff Alexander P Marty McCleery A John Brynildson A Mary Pat McGinnis A Michael Haglund P Susan Smith P Laura Kuettel P John Hustad (council liaison) P Barbara Leary P Carla Asleson (staff representative) P Catherine Mackiewicz APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the June 2, 1994, meeting were distributed with the July agenda but were not approved at the July 14, 1994, meeting due to lack of a quorum. Approval of the June minutes was deferred to the next meeting (October) to give commissioners an opportunity to review the minutes. The minutes of the meeting of July 14, 1994, will also be distributed for review and approval at the October meeting. PROJECT CHILDSAFE/ICE CREAM SOCIAL: The Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions collected 24 car seats for Project Childsafe at the Falcon Heights Ice Cream Social. Four of the seats appear to be reusable. Approximately twenty -five percent of the people turning in car seats were not residents of Falcon Heights or Lauderdale. The collection was a success, but it might have been even more productive if Lauderdale had become involved earlier so that the program could be publicized in the Lauderdale newsletter and in conjunction with Lauderdale's annual park event. (Lauderdale's involvement, which was not initially anticipated, arose from the participation of the Lions.) The Solid Waste Commission booth, also at the Ice Cream Social, was well received. It may have received more attention in a different location in the park. Recycling bins and Project Childsafe t -shirts were given away in periodic drawings. For next year, John Hustad has agreed to serve as a target in the dunk tank, and the Commission will consider games with a recycling or waste related connection. GARAGE SALE SURVEY: Responses to the follow -up telephone survey of garage sale participants was generally positive. Scheduling. Most residents want the sale to become an annual event. Some wanted community sales more than once a year, and others wanted sales regularly but less than annually. A few preferred a multiple -day sale. The Commissioners agreed that multiple days, or two or more sales a year, would be too disruptive and too demanding in terms of preparation, advertising, and coordination, while residents can always choose not to participate in alternate years or if they have scheduling conflicts. The chosen date worked well for most people, and respondents favored having the sale on the same weekend each year so people can schedule accordingly. Advertising. Survey respondents indicated that most people look at the daily papers rather than the local weekly /monthly papers to learn about the sale. However, the local papers provided articles and pictures as well as receiving paid advertising. The "Cities 97" radio ad purchased by local businesses was not considered to be effective in promoting the garage sale. The balloons were not visible enough to mark participating blocks and sales. The Commission may consider investing in permanent signs. Business Involvement. Local businesses did not perceive a benefit from the community -wide sale. Several businesses spent money toward a radio ad and did not recoup their investment. Businesses should be involved earlier in the process, with sufficient time to plan and advertise "Crazy Daze" or sidewalk sale promotions to coincide with the garage sales. (However, there is some question whether people who come to the city for garage sales are interested in shopping at stores on the same day.) Another idea for next year would be to seek donations from businesses to defray costs of advertising and of preparing and printing maps; in return, the business names could be listed in advertising and on the maps. Maps. The maps were useful to those who had them, but many participants didn't know they were available. Survey respondents thought maps should be distributed to everyone having a sale. Some found the map hard to read; the Commission will consider developing a customized map with landmarks and other identifying features rather than using the city street map. NEWSLETTER ASSIGNMENTS: Newsletter articles are to be submitted at the October meeting. The following topics were chosen/assigned: Jeff Alexander: Ramsey County Solid Waste Strategic Planning Commission Carla Asleson: Hazardous Waste Disposal Facility; Recycling Schedule Mike Haglund: Items Which Cannot Be Recycled, and Why Laura Kuettel: Project Childsafe; Fluorescent Lightbulb Disposal Barbara Leary: Community-Wide Garage Sale Catherine Mackiewicz: Ideas for Students Interested in Reducing Solid Waste; How Schools Recycle Waste Marty McCleery: Legislation Relieving Cities of Obligations for Cleanup of Solid Waste Dumps Mary Pat McGinnis: Composting Susan Smith: Recycling Block Captains; also will proof and edit articles The newsletter will thank businesses who donated funds toward the community garage sale. Miscellaneous recycling/hazardous waste information from Ramsey County can be used as filler if needed. There was some discussion of including calendar stickers or some other means of reminding people of recycling collection dates, because there has apparently been confusion even among block captains. OCTOBER MEETING: In place of the October meeting, the Commission (and possibly past members as well) will meet at Ciatti's on OCTOBER 6 at 7:00 p.m. to honor longtime staff liaison Shirley Chenoweth, who has retired. On the motion of Susan Smith, seconded by Jeff Alexander, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, 4/ Susan K. Smith, Secretary 2 WORKSHOP ..:111r RK �H_ P:: RK .H.

OP Meeting Date: 10/12/94 Agenda Item: N/A CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Discussion with Police Chief Dick Engstrom of the St. Anthony Police Department SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Adminstrator EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: On January 1, 1995 the St. Anthony Police Department will begin serving Falcon Heights. The service will include a designated officer within the city limits for 24 hours a day. The service to Falcon Heights will complement, not detract from, the service currently being provided to the Cities of Lauderdale and St. Anthony. Representatives of the three cities will meet bi- monthly to discuss policing matters. As the attachments explain, the St. Anthony Police Department philosophy has historically been community oriented with alot of visibility and aggressive enforcement of local ordinances. The workshop is an opportunity to informally meet with the city's police chief (starting January 1, 1995) and to exchange questions about policing in Falcon Heights. ATTACHMENTS: A Cover letter from Chief Engstrom, dated 7 April 1994 B St. Anthony Police Department Philsophy C Community survey of policing, dated November, 1993 ACTION REQUESTED: Ask questions and discuss policing in Falcon Heights with Chief Engstrom. St. Anthony Police Department April 7, 1994 City of Falcon Heights Susan Hoyt City Administrator 2077 West Larpenteur Falcon Heights, MN 55113 -5594 Dear Ms. Hoyt: The City of St. Anthony proposal for police service and protection in the City of Falcon Heights is enclosed with this cover letter. I want to take the opportunity to tell you a little about our department. St. Anthony Police Department is a pro- active service orientated agency with emphasis on service and community development. We are a first ring suburb of Northeast Minneapolis and operate in two major counties (Hennepin/Ramsey). The department currently provides police service for the City of Lauderdale, since January 1, 1994. The department consists of 14 sworn officers, two civilian employees, and 10 reserve officers. We boast a higher then average clearance rate for all reported crimes. We are able to respond to any and all types of emergency calls in three minutes or less. The police department is involved in crime prevention through various programs such as Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) currently being taught by a police officer in the elementary school grades K -5 with the 5th grade being targeted for the core curriculum. Neighborhood Watch, Operation ID, National Nite Out, Turn Off the Violence, and Combat Auto Theft (C.A.T.) are other types of program offered and participated in by the police department. We prescribe to the latest technology and training to enhance the type of service we provide for the community and is an on -going effort in developing a partnership with the community and its needs. The department motto "Your Police Department, Our Community." 3301 Silver Lake Road NE St. Anthony, MN 55418 (612) 789 -5015 FAX (612) 789 -9602 City of Falcon Heights April 7, 1994 Page 2 Our style of policing has been traditional delivery of services in an untraditional way. This has been accomplished through communication, team work, and inter action with the community as a whole. Three major benefits associated with our style are; improved delivery of service, improved police /community relations; mutual resolutions to identifiable problems. Although St. Anthony may not be cheaper then other communities you are looking at, we will be the most reasonable for the service provided. Our officers are very competent and understand the concerns of the citizens they serve. Based on your recent survey of residents in Falcon Heights, the St. Anthony Police Department will meet these top six expectations your community values. We are a small agency that has been delivering quality service for the past two decades in the manner in which I believe Falcon Heights is looking for. I have enclosed copies of our 1991 -1992 annual report, along with a weekly and monthly report, and the St. Anthony Police Department Mission Statement. If you have any questions or concerns about this proposal, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, Richard Engstrom Chief of Police St. Anthony Police Department RE/kd enclosures ST. ANTHONY POLICE DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY 1 100 The basic mission of the St. Anthony Police Department is the maintenance of Social Order within carefully prescribed ethical and constitutional restrictions, and includes prevention of criminality, repression of crime, apprehension of offenders, recovery of property, regulation of non criminal conduct and the performance of miscellaneous services. While each of these is important and necessary to the operation of any police agency, individual communities differ as to the importance placed on each segment of service. Since we are a service oriented entity, we must be aware of the social pressures existing in our particular community and modify or adapt our techniques in response to these pressures. We must constantly attune our goals to our community's concerns and seek to find /elicit those concerns. We are law enforcement oriented and must constantly strive for uniformity amongst officers, in addition to professionalism on an individual and department level. Our department places an added emphasis on public service, public relations, juvenile relations, and crime prevention. The emphasis must be present in all our police activities on a day to day basis, and apply equally to all citizens. We must seek to provide a personalized service to our residents in the interest of effective public and juvenile relations. While larger communities enjoy the luxury of specialization among its officers, our department members must be proficient in all phases of police service. We must constantly strive to accomplish our mission on an individual basis and as a team member of the department and let us do it in a manner that will bring credit to the police profession, our department, and our community.
