Electrical Blesener reminded the Council that last June they authorized the Cost Savings expenditur•e of $3,200 to do some conver•sions at the booster• station At Booster• so that the City only needed to pump dur•ing the evening hour•s and, Station thus, could reduce its electrical rate. Blesener r•eported that due to these conver•sions, the savings the City r•ealized in its Agenda electr•ical r•ate for~ the second half of 1987 was between $3,500 Item No. 11 and ~4,000. Hir•ing Scalze r~epor•ted that Mayor• Fahey asked that the matter• of an Maintenance additional maintenance worker• be tabled until the next Council Wor~ker meeting. However•, Scalze indicated that based on the r•epor•t that the Super~intendent submitted, she was convinced that another• maintenance wor•ker• vdas needed. Page -7- MI ~IUTES City Council Feb. 10, 1988 f1aintenance Blesener reviewed the reports submitted by the Superintendent c~mparing Plor•ker• the size of Little Canada's maintenance staff with those of the cities (Cont.) of Ar~den Hills, Mendota Heights, St. Anthony, and Vadnais Heights, which are close in size with Little Canada. It was noted that St. Anthony was high with 14 employees in their• maintenance depar~tment, while Little Canada was low with 4 employees. Ar~den Hills has a maintenance staff of 7 full-time employees, Mendota Heights has 6 employees, and Vadnais Heights has 6 employees. The r•epor•t also compar~ed miles of streets, watermains and sewer lines. Blesener~ pointed out that in the past two to thr~ee year~s, the City's maintenance staff has upgraded its street maintenance program. Blesener• r•epor~ted that based on the r~epor•ts, he is in favor~ of an additional full-time maintenance employee, and noted that an additiona1 employee has been budgeted for•. Blesener~ felt that the Council should author•ize the Super~intendent to offer• a full-time maintenance wor~ker• position to Pat Dunn, who has been employed by the City's maintenance depar•tment in a tempor•ar•y position for the past few years. Blesener felt that the salary should be 85% of the salar•y cur~r~ently r~eceived by Scott Heaton, cur•r~ently a maintenance wor~ker~ for• the City. The salar•y should be incr•eased annually over~ the next thr•ee year•s so that at the end of that time both maintenance wor•ker•s would be r•eceiving the same r•ate of pay. alesener~ also pointed out that the Maintenance Depar~tment has bequn a sewer jetting progr•am and would like to be able to clean all sewer lines once ever•y two year•s. However•, since the pr~ogram was initiated two year~s ago, only half the City has been done. Blesener stated that he felt comfor•table not adver•tising the position noting that Pat Dunn has been a competent employee and additional cler~ical staff has been added in the same manner•, that is,full-time employment was offer•ed to tempor•ar•y employee. Scalze agr•eed that pointed out that she viewed the situation as some~vhat of a pr•omotion within the staff from tempor•ar•y employment to full-time status. LaValle suggested that the Per•sonnel Or•dinance be r•eviewed as he thought the or•dinance r~equir~ed that vacant positions must be adver~tised. The City Cler~k did not believe the Or~dinance made this requirement. Mr~. Blesener~ intr•oduced the following r~esolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 88-2-47 - AUTHORIZING THE PUBLIC WORKS SUPERINTENDENT TO OFFER A FULL-TIP9E MAINTENANCE WORKER POSITION TO PATRICK DUNN AT A RATE OF PAY THAT IS 85% OF THE SALARY CURRENTI.Y EARNED BY SCOTT NEATON, CURRENTLY A PIAINTENANCE biORKER FOR Page -8- PIINUTES City Council Feb. 10, 1988 Maintenance TNF CITY, !~ITH DU~1N'S SALARY TO BE INCREASED Wor•ker• ANNUALLY OVER THE NEXT THREE-YEAR PERIOD SO (Cont.)

Scalze agr•eed, pointing out that the City has to deter•mine costs for• the var~ious items it is being appr•oached about and exactly how much money the City has available. Scalze suggested that the same committee that studied t'rie possibility of the City's participating in the cost of addition to Little Canada Elementar~y School last year• be for•med again. Scalze felt that this committee should have a joint workshop meeting with member~s of the School Distr~ict and the City Council as well as Par•k and Planning Commissions to r•eview the var•ious issues, including finances. Scalze noted that all the issues ar•e ~nter•twined, and pointed out that the City has committed itself to pur•chasing pr•oper•ty in the Center•ville Road ar•ea as well as to pur•chasing Spooner~ Par•k. Dlesener• suggested that only the next step in the City Center expansion be taken at this time, that is, r~eview of the var•ious comments r•egar•ding the City Center• expansion plan and br•inging per•tinent comments to the ar•chitect for• a r~evision of the plan. 6lesener pointed out that this is already covered under the retainer agr•eement the City has with SEH. Blesener• also pointed out that r~evision of the plan will allow for• a better~ estimate of the cost of the expansion.

Neller~ explained that this is a r~estr•ictive building easement which Slumber~land pur•chased fr~om Gar•dner Br•os. in or~c!er~ to meet State Fir•e Codes.

Scalze asked if the por~tion of the Gar•dner~ Bros. site south of the power• lines will become landlocked thr•ough this lot split. Heller~ r•eplied that it would not as they have planned access to thi s ar~ea fr~om under• the power~ 1 i ne easement. Scalze noted that it may be necessar•y for~ Gar~dner• ar~os. to pay a par~k land dedication fee for• the par•cel that it is dividing. Dan Par•ks, engineer• r~epr~esenting Gar•dner~ Br•os., appear•ed befor•e the Council and explained the conceptual dr•ainage plan for~ the Gardner• Br~os, site as well as the site to be pur~chased by Lar•r•y lee. Par•ks explained that plans ar•e for• two ponds, one ~~ihich is located in the southwest corner of the site to be purchased by Larry Lee and another pond under• the power• line easement str•addling the lot line between the Gardner Bros. site and the Larry Lee site. Par•ks expl ai ned the dr~ai nage system pl anned for• the pr~oper•ty, noti ng that if County Road D is ever~ upgr•aded, stor~m sewer• would be installed and the pr~oper•ty would be assessed. Par•ks r•epor•ted that the dr•ainaoe plan was discussed with the City Engineer• who is in agr~eement with the pr~oposed plan. Heller• explained that pr~oposed Par•cel A, the site to be pur•chased by Lar~r•y Lee, contains 2.6 acr~es, .97 acr~es of which ar•e buildable, while the remaining Gardner Bros. site, Parcel B, contains 5.6 acres, 2.4 of which are buildable. alesener• pointed out that Lar•r~y Lee has indicated that he plans to put an addition on the Slumber~land building and it may be necessar•y to obtain additional easement area for this addition.

Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 88-2-48 - APPROVING THE GARDNER BROS.

This r•esolution appear•s in Resolution Book No. 19, Page 51 and 52. City Center alesener reported that in August or September the Council asked for Expansion comments on the pr~oposed addition to the City Center~ which was (Cont.) dr•awn by SEH. alesener• suggested that these comments be r~eviewed at this time and for~war~ded to the ar•chitect for• incor~por•ation into the plan wher•e the Council feels warr~anted. Blesener• pointed out that the comment was made that the entr•ance to the Council Chamber•s was ackwar•d and ther•e is no pood ar•ea for~ making pr•esentations to the Council. Blesener• suggested that the position of the Council table could be changed to r•esolve this concer•n. Comment was made that the Council table has seating for~ only five while the Planning Commission and Par•k Commission each have seven member~s. Blesener~ felt additional seating could be added, but that the outside table for• consulting staff should be r•etained. The suggestion was made to split the Council Chambers into two r•ooms wi th a r•oom divi der•. Bl esener fel t the ar•chi tect shoul d look at this possibility. Blesener~ also r~eviewed the comment that the Council Chamber•s was too small to accommodatelar~ge meetings, but noted that ver•y lar~ge meetings only occur every couple of years, therefore, a very large Council Chamber•s would not be necessar•y. Page -11- MINUTES City Council Feb. 10, 1988 City Center Expansion (Cont.) Scalze noted that the Senior• Citizen gr•oup has 250 member~s and this gr•oup would be inter•ested in holding its meetings at the City Center•. Blesener• suggested that the ar~chitect could be asked to give cost estimates on var•ious sized Council Chamber•s. Ther•e was a comment on better• acquostics for~ the Chamber~s, however•, this would be handled nor•mally under~ good ar~chitectur•al pr•actices. The comment was made for~ placement of the confer~ence r~oom adjoining the Council Chamber•s so that this r~oom could handle over~flow fr~om the Chamber~s. Blesener• suggested that SEH look at this as well. Blesener• r•eviewed the comment suggesting basement under• the new addition which could include stor~age, offices, or~ public meeting r•ooms. Blesener~ noted that if the basement wer•e used for• office or• public meetings, an elevator• or~ r~amp would be necessar~y. However~, it was discussed that if a basement is included under• the new addition it should be water•-pr•oofed as ther•e is cur•r•ently a water problem in the City Center's existing basement. The Council felt the ar•chitects should also consider• as par•t of the addition better~ water•-pr•oofing of the existing basement. Blesener pointed out that it was suggested that the Recreation Depar~tment offices be moved to the computer• r~oom so that Recr•eation could have outside access to their office. Blesener• also suggested that the City Cler~k's pr•oposed office location be moved to where the Building Inspector's office is pr•oposed so that the gener•al public does not have to go thr•ough the office area to see the City Cler•k. Also, the Recr~eation Depar~tment is r•equesting, if possible, dir•ect access to the basement stor•age ar•ea fr~om their~ office by means of a stair~way fr•om the existing landing. Blesener suggested that the ar•chitect look at this suggestion as well. Blesener~ felt the r•eception ar•ea should be changed so that the public would be ser~ved at an open counter• ar~ea similar~ to the one at the City Center now. Blesener• also suggested incr~easing the size of the various depar•tment offices by eliminating the cler•ical desks shown outside these offices and nar~r•owing the hallway ar~ea to appr~oximately 6 feet. Thi s woul d gi ve the Ci ty Cl er~k r•oom for~ a confer•ence tabl e in his office and the 6uilding Inspector~ r~oom for~ a table for~ maps and plans. It was also suggested that a stor~age ar~ea be included above the new addition as well as display cases in the entr•y ar•ea. The suggestion was made to combine the lunch room and kitchen area, however~, it was the feeling of the Council that these two r~ooms should be separ•ate. page -12- MINUTES City Council Feb. 10, 198II City Center Expansion (Cont.)

The Council discussed the var•ious suggestions and felt that Blesener~ should take these suggestions to SEH and have them r•edr~aft the plan r•eflecting these ideas. Blesener• noted that SEW is still under~ r•etai ner~ wi th the Ci ty. Bl esener• al so fel t that by r•evi si ng the plan to include the improvements discussed, it would be feasible to get a better• idea of the cost of the addition. Qlesener suggested that the City Clerk schedule a meeting with SEH to r•eview the City Center~ expansion plan. Scalze suggested that a wor•kshop meeting be scheduled to discuss the var•ious issues befor~e the Council such as City Center~ expansion, pur~chase of Center•ville Road pr•oper•ty as well as Spooner• Par~k and the addition to Little Canada Elementar•y School Blesener~ and Collova felt that it was too ear•ly to schedule such a wor•kshop at this time until the Council has mor•e infor•mation on the cost of the City Center• expansion, plus mor•e input from the School Distr•ict. Collova indicated that the School Distr~ict has indicated that they will be submitting a pur•chase agr~eement to the City for~ the pur~chase of Spooner Park. Scalze suggested that it might be appr~opr•iate for~ the City Attor•ney to become involved in this matter•. Scalze pointed out the Lauder•dale situation. Scalze asked if ther•e wer•e any assessments on the Spooner~ Par~k property. The City Cler•k repor~ted that ther•e ar•e two defer•r~ed assessments on the Spooner~ Par•k pr~oper~ty for~ sewer• main. The assessments ar~e for~ approximately $1,500 plus interest. Scalze pointed out that the City has deter•mined it would like to pur•chase 21.7 acr•es. Scalze suggested that the City Attor•ney make an offer~ to the School Di str•i ct for• thi s pr•oper~ty based on the Ci ty' s appr~ai sal of the proper•ty.
