ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT REPORT 50
51
3A) Consider Resolution No. 16-09, Supporting Principles for Reforming Metropolitan 52
Council – Administrator Karlson noted that he received a communication asking the city to sign on to 53
a resolution put together by a group of officials calling for change in the Metropolitan Council 54
membership structure. 55
56
Mayor Reinert noted that he has participated with the officials group and the idea they came up with 57
is outlined in the resolution and attachments and he thinks it gets to a position of greater 58
representation from the areas affected by the Metropolitan Council. He likened the current structure 59
of the Met Council to a billion dollar football, with membership changing every time there is a change 60
in the governor position. He supports the resolution. 61
62
Council Member Kusterman moved to approve Resolution No. 16-09 as presented. Council Member 63
Rafferty seconded the motion. 64
65
Council Member Kusterman added that the Metropolitan Council is a body that is partisan and is one 66
of very few regional bodies that do not allow for elected official membership and it’s been that way 67
for fifty years. He thinks that is long enough and this resolution will let the state’s elected officials 68
know that the city doesn’t feel the current system is true representation. He hopes the message will 69
get a proper ear at the Legislature and the Governor’s office. 70
71
Council Member Rafferty said he agrees, adding that this is a solid idea and he’s grateful for the 72
discussion of change that is needed. 73
74
Mayor Reinert read the six points included in the resolution. 75
76
Council Member Manthey noted that he sees this resolution coming forward from many people and 77
he’s heard a good discussion; he hopes it will get to the Governor’s ear. 78
79
Motion adopted on a voice vote. 80
81
3B) Consider Resolution No. 16-10, Concurring in the Issuance of G.O. Bonds, Series 2016A, 82
to be issued by the City of Circle Pines 83
84
3C) Consider Resolution No. 16-11, Regarding Amendment of the Amended Joint Powers 85
Agreement (JPA) for North Metro Telecommunications Commission to Issue Bonds and Use 86
Certain Franchise Fees 87
88
Administrator Karlson explained that Items 3B and 3C are related. They are resolutions that relate to 89
the issuance of bonds to finance the acquisition of high definition (HD) equipment as an upgrade 90

project for the North Metro Telecommunications system. The North Metro staff has analyzed the 91
situation and recommends this replacement of all equipment, including a production vehicle. There 92
exists an option to issue G.O. bonds through a city and that is preferred to North Metro issuing them 93
as revenue bonds because there would be substantial savings. He explained that all the North Metro 94
member cities would pay the debt but it would actually be funded by a franchise fee. He introduced 95
Heidi Arnson, Executive Director of North Metro, and Nick Anhut of Ehlers and Associates 96
(financing consultant to the project). 97
98
Ms. Arnson explained the history of the joint powers agreement and old language included therein 99
and their request to change the language to remove a figure of bonding that was put in when the group 100
originally bonded for their building. When Mayor Reinert asked Ms. Arnson to explain further how 101
the proposed equipment upgrade project will benefit the City, Ms. Arnson reviewed in detail the 102
services provided by North Metro. She noted that seventy-three percent of Comcast customers have 103
HD in their home and for the new franchisee, Century Link, that figure is 100%. In that light, North 104
Metro would like to provide its programming with an HD signal. She feels that people really expect 105
that level of service now and it is an opportune time for the group to make the upgrade. They have 106
taken excellent care of the equipment they have now but it is just time to upgrade and it makes sense 107
to replace everything so the systems all work together. The upgrade will also mean additional access 108
in the form of HD channels. The group currently has no debt on their facility so there is the ability to 109
pay on the improvements. 110
111
Council Member Maher noted that she is the City Council representative on the North Metro board. 112
She’s a new member but one thing that she understands clearly is that North Metro does a lot of work 113
in our community. 114
115
Mayor Reinert noted that the Centennial School District pulled out of the system. Ms. Arnson 116
explained that the school district decided to move fully to their web site although North Metro still 117
broadcasts some material for them. Mayor Reinert asked if the upgrade will include internet or social 118
media play in? Ms. Arnson explained that they already stream two channels and also have video on 119
demand. She also reviewed historic data on franchise fee revenue, the revenue source identified to 120
pay for the bonds. 121
122
Nick Anhut, Ehlers, explained that he is financial consultant to both the North Metro 123
Telecommunications Commission and he does work for the City of Circle Pines. He explained that 124
an obligation of the Commission is an obligation of all its member cities. The most efficient 125
financing mechanism is the goal for any project and it’s been determined that the issuance of G.O. 126
bonds through a city is the best way to go with this project. The money to pay for the debt will be 127
remitted to cities. When the Mayor asked why the City of Circle Pines will issue the debt, Mr. Anhut 128
said that the city has offered to do it and they have a AA bond rating. There is no special benefit to 129
the issuing city. 130
131
Council Member Kusterman recognized the savings related to the different types of bonding and 132
noted that this really won’t cost the City anything because there is a reimbursement process built in. 133
He asked if the purchases involved will be exempt from sales tax? Mr. Anhut replied that purchases 134

related to this project would be made through the City of Circle Pines so that would provide for an 135
exemption. 136
137
Council Member Rafferty asked about the cost of the project to subscribers in the form of fees and 138
Ms. Arnson explained that there are PEG and franchise fees to subscribers; the PEG fees are static at 139
$3.16 while the franchise fee amount is tied a percentage. Council Member Rafferty asked how 140
many people actually use the services; he’s heard examples of cities that have broken away from this 141
type of communication (noting the City of Shoreview) and he wonders why. Ms. Arnson explained 142
that cable programming services offered by North Metro are actually a very small part of their 143
services (and she reviewed the many services they provide). 144
145
Council Member Reinert noted that the City’s government channel is pretty old; he wonders how that 146
will be enhanced. Ms. Arnson explained that the change to HD will obviously improve the picture 147
quality and also add certain technologic graphics capabilities. She added that she understands that 148
the City will be upgrading its city hall facilities and the North Metro engineer will be available to 149
assist with that process. Council Member Manthey asked if this funding will help the city in its own 150
upgrade project and Ms. Arnson replied that the less they spend on the upgrade project, the more the 151
city will get back so that could concievably be used for the project. 152
153
Council Member Manthey asked if other member cities have signed on and Ms. Arnson said that six 154
cities have done so. 155
156
Administrator Karlson added that when he started in his position as city administrator, he saw that the 157
city should start saving for an upgrade project to the council chambers and perhaps the community 158
room. That funding has now grown and is available for a project here at city hall. 159
160
The council discussed delaying consideration of the bond issuance and joint powers amendment and 161
heard from staff that the bond must be approved prior to March 2; the joint powers amendment could 162
be delayed. Mayor Reinert noted that he’s never seen a budget for the North Metro organization and 163
is interested in learning more about the budget for this proposed project. 164
165
Council Member Manthey moved to approve Resolution 16-10 as presented. Council Member 166
Maher seconded the motion. 167
168
Council Member Rafferty noted that he has some concern about moving forward at this point. 169
170
The motion was adopted on a voice vote; Council Member Rafferty recorded as voting “no”. 171
172
Regarding Item 3C, Administrator Karlson explained that the resolution would provide for an 173
amendment to the joint powers agreement (governing North Metro Telecommunications) to reflect a 174
change regarding the issuance of bonds. Ms. Arnson explained that the amendment serves to clean 175
up the JPA; some of the language in the agreement relates to the previously bonded project, their 176
building. The new language means that North Metro wouldn’t have to ask for a change to the JPA 177
everytime they bond. It also would change how cities can spend fees, giving more latitude. 178
179
COUNCIL MINUTES February 22, 2016
DRAFT
5
Mayor Reinert said he doesn’t support the resolution because it appears to give automatic authority 180
without council consideration. Ms. Arnson said that North Metro would still have to get permission 181
to bond from each city but would not have to get an amendment to the JPA each time. 182
183
The council discussed delaying approval of the resolution to allow more discussion at an upcoming 184
work session. Mr. Anhut noted that there is time for more discussion, however, the JPA does 185
ulitimately have to be changed in order to allow for the equipment purchase project. 186
187
Council Member Kusterman moved to postpone consideration of Resolution No. 16-11 to allow for 188
further discussion. Counicl Member Maher seconded the motion. Motion carried on a voice vote. 189

197
Council Member Maher asked how many individuals applied for this position. Director Swenson 198
explained that there were eight individuals interviewed and Mr. Finke was in the top two. He also 199
reviewed Mr. Finke’s experience and certifications in the field. 200

on the EDAC. Staff is recommending that the applicant be invited to attend the joint 17
meeting with the board when that is scheduled. 18

Item 1A – Expenditures – Council Member Rafferty asked, at which fire station will the 25
new fire pumper truck be housed? Public Safety Director Swenson said it would be Fire 26
Station No. 2. 27
28
Council Member Maher asked about the expenditure of $9,000 to rekey Fire Station No. 1 29
and the process and new key system was explained by Director Swenson. 30
31
Council Member Maher asked about the expenditure of attorney fees to BLino LLC? 32
Administrator Karlson explained that the expenditure relates to the payment of certain 33
costs related to an assessment appeal. 34
35
Item 3A – Resolution Calling for Reform of the Metropolitan Council – Administrator 36
Karlson reported on a request received from a group of elected officials requesting 37
support for the concept of reforming the Metropolitan Council. They are asking the city 38
to adopt a resolution that has been provided. 39
40
Mayor Reinert added that he was asked to serve on the group that brings forward the 41
resolution that calls for changes to the Metropolitan Council. It’s a situation where the 42
matter of appointing members is passed from governor to governor. He said it is his 43
opinion that it should be changed and this resolution is an attempt toward that. 44

Council Member Manthey asked if there is any reason why the council shouldn’t support 46
this resolution. Mayor Reinert explained that it comes down to power and one political 47
party versus another and he doesn’t think calling for a change is overreaching. 48
49
Council Member Kusterman explained the history of the Metropolitan Council. It started 50
as a group to deal with coordinating the sewer system and it grew to cover many things 51
and it has outgrown its role. He asked what will happen if the resolution is passed? 52
53
Mayor Reinert said that it brings the matter forward but a process change would have to 54
be discussed, legislation passed and then signed by the governor. 55
56
Item 3B/3C, Resolution No. 16-10, Concurring in the Issuance of G.O. Bonds (by the 57
City of Circle Pines) and Resolution No. 16-11, Amending the JPA for North Metro 58

the council is presented with two resolutions that involve the issuance of bonds to finance 60
new equipment for the cable commission. The proposal is to replace all equipment with 61
updated high definition equipment. This is possible because the commission has paid all 62
of its debt on their facility so they feel it is a good time. The cost would be in the range 63
of $2 million and the debt would be issued as G.O. bonds through the City of Circle 64
Pines. If the bonding was not issued through a city, it would be a revenue bond and the 65
cost would be higher; the city of Circle Pines offered to issue the bonds. The revenue to 66
pay for the bonds comes from franchise fees. The cost savings through use of G.O. 67
bonds is approximately $278,000. The other element of the action involves approving 68
an amendment to the joint powers agreement with the cable commission that would 69
update language and add authority for bonding with approval of member cities. 70
71
Mayor Reinert indicated that he feels more time is needed to review this matter. The 72
council will discuss the matter at the council meeting. 73

recommend a revision to read: “. . . in a principal amount not to exceed $2,500,000 (the “Bonds”
for any purpose approved facility and equipment upgrades.”
An additional revision was made, which states that this agreement will be filed with the
Executive Director of the NMTC instead of with the City of Blaine.
The revisions were approved by the Executive Committee. The Commission will acting on the

Commission for that calendar year (the “Debt Service Share”); and (2) each member shall
be responsible for its share of the operating and capital costs of the Commission (not

deficiency has been restored. After provision is made for payment of the Debt Service
Share, the remaining franchise fees shall be applied as a credit against each Member’s
Operating Cost Share owed the Commission, with any excess being remitted to the
Member by the Commission and any shortfall being payable to the Commission by the
Member. The remainder of any franchise fee remitted back to the Member by the

Community Media Center, for each calendar year shall be formulated by the Executive
Director under the direction of the Operations Committee and submitted to the
Commission on or before July 1 of each year. The Commission shall submit the
proposed budget to the Members on or before August 1 of each year. Such budget shall
be deemed approved by a Member unless, prior to October 15 preceding the effective
date of the proposed budget, the Member gives notice in writing to the Commission that
it is withdrawing from the Commission, subject to Article XII, Section 2 of this
agreement. Final action adopting a budget for the ensuing calendar year shall be taken by
the Commission on or before November 1 of each year.
Section 6. Any Member may inspect and copy the Commission books and records at any
and all reasonable times. All books and records shall be kept in accordance with normal
and accepted accounting procedures and principles used by Minnesota Statutory Cities.
XI. DURATION
Section 1. The Commission shall continue for an indefinite term unless the number of
Members becomes less than five, and the Commission may also be terminated by mutual
agreement of all of the Members at any time; provided that the Commission shall
continue to exist as long as any Bonds described in Article VIII, Section 13 of this
agreement remain outstanding.
Section 2. In order to prevent obligation for its Operating Cost Share for the ensuing
calendar year, a Member must withdraw from the Commission by filing a written notice
with the Secretary by October 15 of any year giving notice of withdrawal effective at the
end of the calendar year; and membership shall continue until the effective date of the
withdrawal. A notice of withdrawal may be rescinded by a Member at any time prior to
the effective date of withdrawal. If a Member withdraws before the dissolution of the
Commission, the Member shall have no claim against the assets of the Commission,
including the right to receive an allocation of franchise fees, except as provided herein.
A Member withdrawing after October 15 shall be obligated to pay its entire Operating
Cost Share (including any shortfalls) for the ensuing year as outlined in the budget of the
Commission for the ensuing year. A withdrawn Member will continue to be responsible
for its Debt Service Share (payable only from the withdrawn Member’s franchise fees)
notwithstanding its withdrawal from the Commission, and shall continue to have its
franchise fees paid directly to the Commission until all Bonds have been paid. Any
excess of the withdrawn Member’s franchise fees over the withdrawn Member’s Debt
Service Share (and any required Operating Cost Share, if the Member gave notice of
withdrawal after October 15 of the preceding calendar year) shall be remitted by the
Commission to the withdrawn Member. A Member that has withdrawn from the
Commission may, if no Bonds are outstanding, upon request, recover an amount of any
equity that exists, as of the withdrawal date, in real property and buildings purchased or
constructed with any Bonds, up to (but not exceeding) the Member’s individual
percentage of total franchise fees paid to all the Members (or their designee) and the
withdrawn Member for the calendar year preceding withdrawal. The Commission may,
if no Bonds are outstanding, at any time after the withdrawal of a Member as provided
for herein, initiate a buy-out of the proportionate equity interest of the withdrawn
Member, which interest is to be the withdrawn Member’s individual percentage of total
franchise fees paid to the Members (or their designee) and the withdrawn Member for the
calendar year preceding the buy-out, pursuant to terms and conditions agreed upon by the
parties. The amount of any equity distributed to a withdrawn Member will be paid,
without interest, on a payment schedule established by the Commission, provided,
however, the term of such payment schedule shall not exceed five (5) years. When
calculating an equity repayment schedule, the Commission may deduct the withdrawn
Member’s proportionate share of outstanding indebtedness from the amount of any equity
due to the withdrawn Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a withdrawing
Member shall have no claim to the franchise fee the Grantee collected on its behalf for
the year in which its withdrawal is effective, except for the reimbursement of cable-
related expenses for that year. If no Bonds are outstanding, for the calendar year
following withdrawal, and for all subsequent years, the entire franchise fee calculated
upon gross revenues attributable to the system within the withdrawn Member shall be
paid by Grantee to the withdrawn Member in accordance with the Franchise.
Section 3. In the event of dissolution, the Commission shall determine the measures
necessary to affect the dissolution and shall provide for the taking of such measures as
promptly as circumstances permit, subject to the provisions of this agreement. Upon
dissolution of the Commission all remaining assets of the Commission, after payment of
obligations, shall be distributed among the then existing Members in proportion to the
most recent Member by Member breakdown of the franchise fee as reported by the
Grantee. The Commission shall continue to exist after dissolution for such period, no
longer than six months, as is necessary to wind up its affairs but for no other purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned municipality has caused this agreement to be
signed on its behalf this _____________day of _________________June, 201603.

bicycles sold which resulted in all of the bicycles being destroyed and the City paying the cost.
Staff has researched other options to eliminate the expense of destroying the unclaimed
bicycles and has found a non-profit organization called Bikes for Kids based in Ham Lake,
MN. This non-profit organization refurbishes donated bicycles and provides them to kids in
need in Anoka County and throughout the world. Click here to visit their website.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Public Safety Department to donate the listed bicycles to the non-profit Bikes for
Kids.
