16
1. Final Design of Fire Station at Birch Street and Centerville Road – Public Safety 17
Director Swenson noted the council’s decisions on site and scope of a new fire station. 18
Based on discussions and review, staff has worked with CNH Architects to bring forward 19
plans for a final design of the facility. He introduced CNH Architects principal Quinn 20
Hutson who reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file) outlining the fire house plans, 21
including exterior, site, floor plan, interior, a cost update and schedule for moving ahead. 22
23
Mayor Reinert noted that the project is on the pace needed and expected. He requested 24
that the council receive a copy of the PowerPoint. 25
26
3. Council Meeting with Advisory Boards (from 12/15/14 W.S. discussion)- 27
Administrator Karlson reviewed the openings on the city’s advisory boards; the process 28
of filling vacancies and considering reappointments occurs every year. The council 29
previously established a time to interview candidates and staff would like further 30
direction as to whom the council will interview (i.e. new applicants, all applicants 31
including incumbents)? 32
33
The council concurred that they will interview three applicants, namely those for the 34
Environmental Board. Staff will schedule the interviews for January 12, 2015 beginning 35
at 5:30 p.m. 36
37
4. 2015 Capital Equipment Replacement Schedule- Finance Director Rolek reviewed 38
the proposed capital equipment list. The council heard from Public Safety Director 39
Swenson about emergency siren needs. 40
41
Mr. Rolek explained that the Equipment Certificates to purchase items on the “A” list 42
will be brought to the council for consideration in the near future. The council discussed 43
the amount of capital authorization in 2014, how new fire equipment impacts the 2015 44
numbers and the need to keep on track for city equipment. Public Services Director 45

DeGardner explained that the city will either trade in or auction old equipment in order to 46
get the best value. 47
48
Finance Director Rolek then reviewed the proposed fire department capital purchases. 49
Public Safety Director Swenson added that the department is receiving some assets as a 50
result of the split from the Centennial Fire District and have identified what will be 51
needed in addition to those items. He noted that the city has submitted a grant application 52
to FEMA requesting funding for the purchase of fire apparatus/gear; receipt of the grant is 53
an unknown so the city must plan funding in case it isn’t received. Mr. Rolek also 54
explained that the financing is internal so it can be adjusted depending on changes in 55
what is spent. 56
57
2. NE Drainage Area Study Update – Community Development Director Grochala 58
reviewed the history of the council’s consideration of how to address drainage in the NE 59
area of the city. Staff has been working with the city’s engineering firm, WSB and the 60
area watershed district to develop options for drainage and will now receive an overview 61
from WSB staff Pete Willenbring. 62
63
Mr. Willenbring reviewed the problems: 64
- Ditches in place do not handle much; 65
- One area is landlocked; 66
- Must deal with increased discharged downstream. 67
68
Mr. Willenbring distributed a map outlining the idea of installing a large capacity line to 69
handle drainage. An important element of the project would be to determine alignment; 70
any study and modeling need to be clear about impacts such as environmental. He is 71
working with the watershed district on those details. He noted that the model, he 72
believes, demonstrates that Peltier Lake will not be impacted and it will be important to 73
show no impact to water quality. Since the watershed would like to see the drainage 74
solution limit the volume of water moved, they will also be looking at irrigation options 75
along the route. The council’s consideration now is relative to the need for the system. 76
There are property owner considerations as well as work ahead with developers who 77
could possibly be building in the area. The mayor suggested the city will need a 78
statement of need and a defensible solution for what is being recommended; he asked 79
about the AUAR for the area. Mr. Grochala said it basically calls for expansion of 80
drainage systems but the storm water rules have changed somewhat. Council Member 81
Roeser offered funding ideas: water/land banking; grant funding (Legacy?). 82
83
Mr. Willenbring clarified that staff is looking for concept approval from the council and 84
from the watershed. Mr. Grochala added that eventually a feasibility study will be 85
needed. 86
87
The council also heard from Bruce Miller (area developer) who said his group has worked 88
on addressing storm water elements in the past, received instructions from the watershed 89
district, but ultimately couldn’t do what they said. As a result they had to develop an 90
2
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION January 5, 2015
DRAFT
irrigation solution using land that should be developed. In light, he suggests that the 91
drainage issues for the area need to be addressed. Mr. Grochala added that another 92
impacted developer, Mattamy, is facing a similar situation. If the watershed is 93
comfortable, that allows for a game plan to move forward. Mayor Reinert suggested 94
that the city needs to work with landowners and he’d like the council to be kept up to date 95
as information becomes available. 96
97
5. City Auditor Discussion- Finance Director Rolek indicated there is no written staff 98
report on this matter. He understands that the council is requesting information the city’s 99
contract for auditing services. He explained that the city’s current auditor, 100
CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, has been providing services to the city for 16 years. Three 101
years previous the city did issue an RFP and ended up staying with that company. He 102
suggests that it would be appropriate to do an RFP again, if the council wishes, but he 103
would advise waiting until after the 2014 audit is complete. As far as best practice for 104
audit services, the GFOA (Government Finance Officers Association) calls for a contract 105
of at least five years because a level of continuity is important. 106
107
Mayor Reinert indicated that he and Council Member Stoesz requested this discussion. 108
They believe it is good to look at options once in a while. 109
110
Council Member Kusterman remarked that it’s really about relationships, method and 111
quality. He doesn’t think that a change is necessarily needed since there can be a cost 112
involved. When the mayor asked if there is ever a good reason to change, Council 113
Member Kusterman said that would probably be to get a better deal but you have to 114
weigh that with the possibility of losing people that you trust. Council Member Rafferty 115
recalled that when the city looked at RFPs for city engineering services, interested 116
companies actually came in and met with the council. Finance Director Rolek added that 117
staff’s perspective on the matter is that they don’t have a bias; while they have a good 118
relationship with the current provider, there is also no concern about looking at an RFP. 119
120
The council concurred that they’d like the city to have a policy on looking at outside 121
providers on a regular basis and that would be any professional contracts. The City 122
Administrator was directed to bring forward a policy for council consideration. 123
124
6. Charter Commission – 2014 Budget Request- Administrator Karlson reviewed his 125
staff report that outlines 2014 actions on the Commission’s budget and the current request 126
of the Commission for additional funds to pay an outstanding legal bill. He has reviewed 127
their budget and what they had to spend and suggested to them that they use their 2015 128
budget to cover the outstanding balance. The Mayor recalled that the council did 129
authorize additional funds for the Commission in 2014 but, in the end, didn’t get a 130
recommendation on the proposed amendments; he concurs that they should pay from their 131
2015 budget. Council Member Roeser expressed concern about the request and past 132
overspending. 133
134
There was no additional funding authorized for the Charter Commission. 135

136
7. Schedule Dates for Strategic Planning Meetings- Mayor Reinert recalled the 137
council’s past efforts in this area; he’s seen good results and supports setting up a 138
meeting. Administrator Karlson said he’ll look at setting up a couple of evening 139
sessions and asked that council members let him know about dates they would not be 140
available. 141
142
Not on Printed Agenda – Updates 143
144
Police Sergeants Labor Contract – Administrator Karlson reported that this union 145
group has rejected the city’s proposed contract and have requested mediation. 146
147
He will update the council soon on negotiations with the AFSCME union. 148
149
Legacy Grants- Mayor Reinert indicated that these state funds may be a source of 150
funding for certain efforts in the city. He recommends that the discussion continue so 151
that proposals can be submitted for legislative consideration. Council Member Roeser 152
added his support to the concept, noting that Senator Chamberlin and Representative 153
Runbeck are interested in discussing possibilities; he’s interested in park development, 154
water projects and trail connections (to new park and ride). Mayor Reinert asked that 155
council members forward any ideas to him. 156
157
Boat Race- Regarding the council’s recent discussions about having a speed boat 158
race/show as part of Blue Heron Days, a communication was received indicating issues 159
with Anoka County permission for lake use. Public Services Director DeGardner was 160
asked to report on the possibility of a boat show and he indicated he will continue to work 161
with the organizations that would sponsor such events and will update the council as 162
information is available. On the boat races, the mayor asked if there could be some 163
consideration of another time (other than the Blue Heron Days weekend) but Mr. 164
DeGardner said that a boat race after the park closes for the year would be of little interest 165
to the organizers. 166
167
Regular Agenda of January 12, 2015 168
169
Item 3A – Cable TV Franchise Agreement – Administration Karlson explained that 170
North Metro Telecommunications Commission (NMTC) and their legal staff have been 171
working with Comcast on a change of franchise ownership and an extension of the 172
franchise term. Basically a reorganization is occurring and there will be a new provider 173
and with that an extension of the franchise has been negotiated that includes certain 174
conditions. He can report that the proposal is good for the NMTC and the cities they 175
serve. The NMTC attorney involved in the negotiations will be at the council meeting. 176
Council Member Stoesz noted that he is the city’s representative on NMTC and has 177
followed this matter; he is comfortable with what the city will receive as result of the 178
conditions; he noted that there may be some impact on email addresses. 179

Comcast to Greatland Connections; 61
ii. Ordinance No. 01-15, Approving Cable Television Franchise Ordinance 62
Amendment 63
64
City Administrator Karlson noted that the council discussed this franchise transfer and franchise 65
extension request at the recent work session. He introduced Mike Bradley, attorney for North Metro 66
TV to review the proposed amendment and agreement. 67
68
Mr. Bradley gave some background on the city’s franchise for television services that is set to expire 69
in three years. The franchise holder, Comcast, applied to transfer the franchise to another company, 70
Greatland Connections. He explained that, as a result of that request, this became a good time to look 71
at any issues with the franchise agreement. He has worked with Comcast to address issues and has 72
negotiated the following terms to be included in the agreement for a transfer and extending the 73
franchise: 74
- The franchise agreement will be extended an additional three years; 75
- Extension of a Memorandum of Understanding that continues the provision of financial 76
support to North Metro Telecommunications Commission (NMTC); 77
- Provision of HD channel(s); 78
- Access to a programming guide across multiple platforms; 79
- A refund related to a franchise fee underpayment; 80
- Complimentary drops and outlets for municipal locations; 81
- A small refund to cable subscribers; 82
- Payment of all legal fees. 83
84
Mr. Bradley reviewed the requested action of approving a transfer of the franchise through resolution 85
and first reading of an ordinance that amends the city’s franchise by the extension noted. 86
87
The council discussed the role of the City in denying or supporting the transfer. Mr. Bradley 88
explained that this involves a very large scale business deal with many cities and subscribers 89
involved. Mayor Reinert confirmed the future owner of the city’s franchise. 90

Mayor Reinert noted, on the matter of firefighter training, that the new fire station will include 140
training facilities that will serve the city well by allowing training to occur on site rather than taking 141
personnel out of the area. It’s a good long term approach and will save money down the line. He 142
also noted that the council’s assumptions about the public safety department model and the provision 143
of fire services are proving true. Regarding fire pensions, the legislative change noted would allow 144
the transfer of firefighters into the city fund; he wonders if those individuals would then be under the 145
city’s pension rules. Chief Swenson verified that the city’s pension rules would apply, including 146
vesting at five years. 147
148
Council Member Rafferty noted, regarding the fire station and training facilities, that he is happy that 149
the city had the opportunity to look at that with a broad approach that he agrees will pay off in the 150
long term. 151

AGENDA ITEM 2A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Al Rolek
MEETING DATE: January 26, 2015
TOPIC: Consider Approval to Purchase Ricoh MP 6002SP Copier
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is seeking City Council approval to purchase a Ricoh MP 6002 SP Copier to replace the
current Ricoh Aficio 2060 copier.
BACKGROUND
The City purchased the current Ricoh Aficio 2060 copier in May, 2006. The copier has
performed very well over the last 9 years. However, maintenance calls and down time for the
copier has been steadily increasing over the last 2 years. Copiers are listed on our equipment
replacement schedule to be replaced after 7 years of service.
Staff has researched and done demos on replacement copiers. Staff feels the Ricoh MP 6002SP
copier is the best replacement for our current copier. The 6002SP will perform all functions of
our current copier and the operational functionality is very similar to our current copier, leading
to fast learning curve for employees on the new copier.
The copier could be leased or purchased through the State contract from Metro Sales, Inc. The
purchase price of the copier is $10,201. The cost to lease the copier is $219.05 per month and
requires a 5 year lease term. The total payments over the lease term would equal $13,143. In
addition to either purchase or lease, the City would carry a maintenance contract covering all
parts, labor and toner for the copier – virtually everything but paper – at a cost of $50.75 per
month for up to 7,000 copies per month, which is our current volume. Any overages would be
charged at $0.0065 per copy.
Since the City has had great experience with Ricoh copiers and the cost to purchase is less than
the cost to lease, staff is recommending purchase of the Ricoh MP 6002SP. The City
accumulates funds in an office equipment replacement fund to finance the replacement cost.
There are currently funds available to cover the replacement costs of this copier.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the purchase of a Ricoh MP 6002SP copier from
Metro Sales, Inc. at a cost of $10,201.

AGENDA ITEM 3A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson
MEETING DATE: January 26, 2015
TOPIC: Consider 2nd Reading and Passage of Ordinance No. 01-15, Cable
Franchise Amendment Ordinance
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
BACKGROUND
The Cable Franchise between Comcast and the City is presently set to expire in November, 2017.
Comcast recently sent correspondence requesting the franchise be renewed. Comcast also
recently filed an application with the North Metro Telecommunications Commission (the
“NMTC”) requesting that its franchise be transferred to Midwest Cable. There also remains
pending certain franchise compliance issues and certain needs and interests of the NMTC that
need to be addressed. Mike Bradley, attorney for the NMTC, in consultation with NMTC
leadership, negotiated a Franchise Settlement Agreement with Comcast that addresses several of
these issues. The following are some highlights of the Agreement:
• Cable Franchise to be extended through December 31, 2020. This will allow the NMTC to
avoid the costs of a typically expensive renewal process for another 3 years, allowing it to
focus its resources on its member cities’ needs.
• A MOU from 1996 will also be extended through December 31, 2020. The MOU contains a
financial commitment from Comcast for the support of the NMTC. It results in
approximately $800,000 of funding per year.
• In the event the Franchise rolls over past the expiration date, the MOU will do the same.
This helps to ensure the Member Cities that the funding for the NMTC will not end until a
renewed franchise is agreed upon.
• NMTC upon 90 days’ notice will receive one high definition (HD) channel (replacing a
standard definition (SD) channel) with provisions for channel placement and quality. NMTC
currently has no HD channels. This will give HD subscriber’s access to NMTC
programming with the best signal quality.
• NMTC will have the option after 12 months to replace an additional SD channel with an HD
channel, giving the NMTC 2 HD channels and 4 SD channels.
• NMTC will have access to the Electronic Programming Guide, which will allow viewers to
view programming information of the NMTC across multiple platforms.
• Comcast will pay NMTC approximately $31,000 for a franchise fee underpayment. NMTC
benefitted from findings by another of Mr. Bradley’s clients without having to expend any
additional resources on a financial expert.
• Comcast will provide 3 digital converters to all municipal locations receiving complementary
drops and outlets. Comcast will also provide an additional 30 HD boxes to be placed at
municipal locations at NMTC’s discretion. This should cover all of the outlets at municipal
locations currently receiving complementary service.
• Small refund of approximately $20,000 total to cable subscribers.
• Payment of legal fees associated with the transfer application.
• Comcast will be relieved of its commitment to provide Universal PEG Service in the future,
but existing Universal PEG Service subscribers will be grandfathered. There are only 81
such subscribers and Comcast recovers the cost of providing the service out of the PEG fee
currently.
• Consent to the Transfer Application. Comcast has submitted an application requesting that
the NMTC approve a transfer of the Comcast franchise to Midwest Cable. Midwest Cable
will do business as GreatLand. The attached resolution was negotiated with both Comcast
and GreatLand. The resolution lists several contingencies, including the actual closing of the
proposed transaction, receipt of necessary federal approvals, executing a guaranty of
performance and executing a guaranty regarding rates.
The Franchise Ordinance Amendment extends the existing Cable Television Franchise
Ordinance through December 31, 2020 and updates the PEG channel commitments of Comcast
consistent with the Franchise Settlement Agreement. It also requires Comcast’s acceptance.
RECOMMENDATION
On January 12, 2015, the City Council approved the 1st Reading of Ordinance No. 01-15, Cable

consideration of 2nd Reading and final approval.

ORDINANCE NO. 01-15
CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
The City of Lino Lakes (the “City”) ordains as follows:
Section 1. Section 2.4, entitled “Franchise Term” of the City’s Cable Television Franchise
Ordinance (Ord. No. 83-08), shall be amended as follows:
4. Franchise Term. Pursuant to the Franchise Settlement Agreement
dated December 17, 2014, this Franchise shall be in effect through
December 31, 2020 for a period of fifteen (15) years, such term
commencing on the Effective Date specified in Section 2.10, unless sooner
renewed, revoked or terminated as herein provided.
Section 2. The following shall be added to the end of Section 6.1.2 of the City’s Cable
Television Franchise Ordinance:
Upon 90 days’ notice, Grantee will carry one of the PEG channels in a
high definition (HD) format on the cable system such that the City will
continue to have 6 PEG Channels; 5 carried in standard definition and 1
carried in high definition. The City represents that it has or will have
available by that date sufficient local, non-character generated
programming in HD format so as to provide content of value to viewers
and not have a blank channel. Any time after December 16, 2015, Grantee
will carry an additional PEG channel in high definition in the same
manner as the first high definition channel, such that the City will continue
to have 6 PEG Channels; 4 carried in standard definition and 2 carried in
high definition.
Grantee will deliver the high definition signal to subscribers so that it is
viewable without degradation, provided that it is not required to deliver a
HD PEG Channel at a resolution higher than the highest resolution used in
connection with the delivery of local broadcast signals to the public.
Grantee may implement HD carriage of the PEG channel in any manner
(including selection of compression, utilization of IP, amount of system
capacity or bandwidth, and other processing characteristics) that produces
a signal as accessible, functional, useable and of a quality comparable
(meaning indistinguishable to the viewer) to broadcast HD channels
carried on the cable system.
The HD PEG Channel will be assigned a number near the other high
definition local broadcast stations if such channel positions are not already
taken, or if that is not possible, near high definition news/public affairs
programming channels if such channel positions are not already taken, or
if not possible, as reasonably close as available channel numbering will
allow.
City acknowledges that HD programming may require the viewer to have
special viewer equipment (such as an HDTV and an HD-capable digital
device/receiver), but any subscriber who can view an HD signal delivered
via the cable system at a receiver shall also be able to view the HD PEG
channel at that receiver, without additional charges or equipment. By
agreeing to make PEG available in HD format, Grantee is not agreeing it
may be required to provide free HD equipment to customers including
complimentary municipal and educational accounts and universal service
accounts, nor modify its equipment or pricing policies in any manner.
City acknowledges that not every customer may be able to view HD PEG
programming (for example, because they don’t have an HDTV in their
home or have chosen not to take an HD capable receiving device from
Grantee or other equipment provider) or on every TV in the home.
Grantee will provide a bill message announcing the launch of the HD PEG
channel; however City acknowledges that not all customers may receive
the bill message notice in advance of the channel launch in the interests of
launching the channel sooner.
Grantee will make available to the City the ability to place PEG channel
programming information on the interactive channel guide by putting the
City in contact with the electronic programing guide vendor (“EPG
provider”) that provides the guide service. Grantee will be responsible for
providing the designations and instructions necessary to ensure the
channels will appear on the programming guide throughout the
jurisdictions that are part of the City and any necessary headend costs
associated therewith. The City shall be responsible for providing
programming information to the EPG provider and for any costs the EPG
provider charges to programmers who participate in its service. This
obligation shall not apply to any PEG channels for which there is a
technical impediment to providing guide listings, for example, in the event
a PEG channel is narrowcasted or split among more than one PEG
programmer or source such that not all viewers see the same programming
on that channel.
Section 3. This ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage and
publication according to the Lino Lakes City Charter and upon the acceptance of Comcast of
Minnesota, Inc.
Adopted by the Lino Lakes City Council this ____ day of __________________, 2014.

STAFF ORIGINATOR: Public Safety Director John Swenson
MEETING DATE: January 26, 2015
TOPIC: Approval Resolution 15-11 Accepting Grant Funding for one
Police Officer dedicated to Traffic Safety
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department is requesting Council approval to accept grant
funding from the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety to fund one Police Officer for up to four
years and one squad with equipment.
BACKGROUND
The Public Safety Department has been awarded grant funding to add one police officer for up
to four years and the purchase of one additional squad car for this officer. This grant funding is
narrowly focused on traffic safety programing, specifically DWI prevention and enforcement,
in our community.
The basic requirements of the grant are as follows:
Officer must work between the hours of 1700 and 0500 hours;
Officer must work at least two Fridays and two Saturdays per month;
Officer must work specific holidays outlined in the grant requirements;
Officer must only work on duties related to traffic safety (any time not related to
traffic safety, such as assisting or responding to 911 calls, that the grant funding
officer spends more than 15 minutes on will not be reimbursed under this grant);
Court overtime related to DWI offenses will be reimbursed under this grant;
Officer must attend the Minnesota Towards Zero Death (TZD) annual
conference with all fees and related travel expenses reimbursed under this grant;
The squad car and equipment purchased under this grant can only be used by the
grant funded police officer.
The primary goal of this grant program is to enhance safety on community roads and freeways
through community outreach and traffic safety education focused on prevention (forums at
local businesses, schools, and social media), analysis of traffic and crash data for targeted
intervention strategies, and enforcement of traffic offenses.
Below is the forecasted grant funding break down for the four year grant cycle:
2015 Police Officer Salary & Benefits 102,238.61$
2015 Vehicle 40,747.06$
2015 Enforcement Equipment 4,240.00$

2016 Grant Award *102,238.61$
2017 Grant Award *102,238.61$
2018 Grant Award *102,238.61$
Total 4 Year Grant Award 453,941.50$
* All amounts are based on 2015 numbers, but funding will bases on current labor costs for
2016, 2017, & 2018. The grant awards also include reimbursement for court overtime
stemming from DWI arrests.

INTRODUCTION
Council is to consider approving municipal consent for the I-35E MnPass Lane project.
BACKGROUND
MnDOT has studied the I 35E corridor from Little Canada Road to County Road (CR) J, to
improve highway transit performance. They are proposing a 2016 construction project to
install additional traffic lanes. Within Lino Lakes, a third northbound lane would be
constructed up to CR J and then taper off as you go north to just beyond the bridge.
MnDOT is paying for the construction project with no participation from the City of Lino
Lakes. They are seeking municipal consent before March of 2015 to meet the project schedule.
If Council holds the public hearing and does not act on the Resolution, after 90 days, it is
automatically considered approved.
