Re: Well House No. 7 Feasibility Study
Background
On December 10, 2018, the City Council authorized the preparation of a Feasibility Study for
Well House No. 7. The Feasibility Study evaluates the construction of Well No. 7 and the use
of an existing farm house as the well house. The Feasibility Study also included the evaluation
and construction of a test well. The existing farm house and proposed well are located at 509
Birch Street. 509 Birch Street was purchased by Anoka County for future access to Birch Street
in coordination with the Centennial School District.
During the drilling of the test well, in March of 2019, the test well collapsed and the test well
was not able to be completed. At the April 1, 2019, Council work session, the collapse of the
test well was discussed with Council along with the options for the test well moving forward. A
screen test well was recommended. Prior to the approval the screened test well staff brought
back additional information to the May 6, 2019 work session. WSB engineers and Oertel
Architects provided preliminary layouts and cost estimates for re-purposing the farmhouse as a
well house. They also provided a comparison cost of a new well house.
On June 10, 2019 the Council awarded the bid for the screened test well. The test well and
water system modeling was completed. The Feasibility Study for Well No. 7 has been finalized.
Jeff Oertel of Oertel Architects and Greg Johnson of WSB will be present at the work session
to go through the Feasibility Study.
Requested Council Direction
Direct staff to include the Feasibility Study for Well House No. 7 on a future City Council
agenda for Acceptance.

1. INTRODUCTION
The City of Lino Lakes commissioned WSB and Oertel Architects to prepare a feasibility study to evaluate
the repurposing of a historical Lino Lakes house as a well pump house and determine if a future
municipal well can be constructed on the site. This study involved reviewing site and geologic data,
developing a design concept, preparing basic well house plans, constructing a test well, analyzing test
pumping results, and preparing a preliminary cost estimate.

2. SITE ASSEMENT
The site of the historical house (Site) owned by Anoka County is located within the southwest corner of
509 Birch Street property in Lino Lakes (see Figure 1). The site was analyzed based on distance to the
existing water distribution system, site topography, setback distances from potential sources of
contamination, local water quality, and property availability.
2.1 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The site is within the 509 Birch Street property and is located within 100-feet of the existing 16-inch trunk
watermain. The site is relatively flat, with a slight rise from the southwest to northeast. Topographic
information indicates that the site’s elevation ranges from 898-ft to 900-ft (see Figure 1).
The property has a two-story brick house located in the center of the property. During a site investigation,
two abandoned wells and an abandoned cesspool were discovered. As of September 2019, Anoka
County has had both wells sealed and the cesspool excavated and removed from the site. With the
removal of the abandoned wells and cesspool, there are no known potential contaminant sources that
would be of concern during the development of this site for a future well house and production well.

3. TEST WELL BACKGROUND
During the 2008 Water Supply Plan review, the City was pre-approved for two additional production wells,
Well No. 7 and 8. In 2017 the DNR was ordered to take measures to immediately amend all
appropriations permits within a 5-mile radius of White Bear Lake, which resulted in the suspension of the
original approval. As of 2019, DNR approval is still suspended pending additional information from test
wells, which are recommended to examine a site for geologic conditions, potential well interference, water
quality, and aquifer capacity.
In the Spring of 2019, Anoka County provided the City of Lino Lakes access to the site for the
construction of Test Well No. 7. The southwestern corner of the property was chosen for a future
production well based on future site layouts provided by Anoka County, local geology, topography, and
proximity to existing utilities. Two test wells were constructed on the southwest corner of the 509 Birch
Street property. Both test wells were termed Test Well No. 7, however the first attempt was sealed after it
failed during drilling. Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) assigned the failed Test Well No. 7 the Well
and Boring Sealing Unique Number 841553. The second Test Well No. 7 was successful and was
assigned Well and Boring Unique Number 843388. Well and boring reports for both wells are included in
Appendix B.
3.1 TEST WELL RESULTS
Test Well No. 7 was completed as an open hole well (no screen installed) in the Jordan Sandstone
(Jordan) formation in the southwest corner of the site (see Figure 1). This location on the property was
determined acceptable for production Well No. 7 based on the observed geology, potential well capacity,
water quality, and absence of adjacent well interference.
3.1.1 GEOLOGY
The geology in this area typically consists of sand and gravel overlying glacial deposits. Glacial
drift and the St. Peter, Prairie du Chien, Jordan, St. Lawrence, Tunnel City, Wonewoc, Eau
Claire, and Mt. Simon formations are all present around the Lino Lakes area. The City’s existing
wells currently utilize the Prairie du Chien, Jordan, and St. Lawrence formations.
The glacial drift at the test well location is unconsolidated Quaternary deposits consisting of
layers of fine to pebbly sand, gravel, silt and clay that are approximately 127-feet thick. The
glacial drift can be vulnerable to pollution and is not generally used for high capacity production
wells due to the high likelihood of domestic well interference.
The Prairie du Chien formation in this area is approximately 50-feet thick and is sometimes used
for high capacity production wells. At this location, a zone of uncemented limestone, mixed with
glacial sands was encountered 10-feet into the Prairie du Chien. The uncemented formation was
deemed unstable.
The Jordan formation in this area is approximately 105-feet thick and is most frequently used for
high capacity production wells within the City. The top part of the formation at the test well
location consisted of 10-feet of unconsolidated sandstone and 95-feet of mostly consolidated
sandstone immediately below.
3.1.2 TEST WELL CONSTRUCTION
During the construction of the failed bedrock test well, the well contractor (contractor) drilled
approximately 142-feet into the Prairie du Chien formation. The Prairie du Chien formation at this
site was uncemented, not stable, and continually collapsed as the contractor attempted to reach
the Jordan formation below. The contractor decided to change drilling methods and was able to
reach a depth of approximately 187-feet, almost the depth of Jordan formation. During this
construction, the well continued to collapse within the uncemented zone and produced sediment
filled water. In working with the contractor and another local well drilling contractor, it was
concluded that a bedrock test well would not be feasible in this unique formation using cable tool
drilling methods. It was recommended that the failed test well be sealed and a screened or
bedrock test well be constructed using a rotary drill rig.
Well House No. 7 Feasibility Study
City of Lino Lakes, MN
WSB Project No. 013434-000 Page 4
The test well was constructed using a 10-inch outer casing and a 6-inch inner casing. The 10-
inch casing was extended to 225-feet to temporarily seal off the glacial drift, uncemented Prairie
du Chien, and top uncemented portion of the Jordan formation. A 10-inch nominal open hole was
drilled to a depth of 287-feet to the bottom of the Jordan formation. The 6-inch casing was set to
230-feet to penetrate approximately 20-feet into the Jordan formation to ensure a stable borehole,
without compromising yield. The 6-inch casing was grouted while pulling back the 10-inch outer
casing. The 10-inch outer casing was entirely removed to allow the formation to better absorb the
grout and provide an improved sanitary seal between the inner well casing and uncemented
formations.
3.1.3 WELL CAPACITY
Test pumping of the Jordan formation at 280 gallons per minute (gpm) resulted in a drawdown of
11 feet for a specific capacity of approximately 25 gpm per foot of drawdown. This specific
capacity is very high for a test well. Assuming a conservative estimate for specific capacity of 20
gpm per foot of drawdown, pumping a municipal well at 1,000 gpm would result in a drawdown of
approximately 50 feet which is not excessive for a municipal well. Currently, the City’s average
well capacity is approximately 950 gpm.
3.1.4 WATER QUALITY
Water quality from the test well indicated iron and manganese concentrations above the
recommended Secondary Maximum Contaminant Levels (SMCL). Treatment for SMCL
contaminants is optional; however, these contaminants can cause undesired discoloration and
unpleasant taste in drinking water. In addition to aesthetics, elevated levels of manganese (100
ppb for infants and 300 ppb for adults) in drinking water can have negative health effects in in
young children or adults who consume too much water with elevated levels of manganese. Iron
bacteria was also present in this well, which may combine with iron, manganese, and oxygen to
form deposits of bacterial cells and a slimy material that may allow for the bacteria to attach itself
to well column pipe and pump. Iron bacteria is not known to cause disease but may require
additional maintenance throughout the life of the well. It should be noted that the water quality
observed in Test Well No. 7 is similar to that in the other municipal wells (see table below).

3.1.5 TEST PUMPING RESULTS
During the test pumping of Test Well No. 7, water levels were monitored in Lino Lakes Municipal
Well No. 2, the adjacent failed test well, and a nearby private well. Well No. 2 is constructed in
the Jordan formation, the adjacent failed test well is a Prairie du Chien well, and the private well is
constructed in the glacial drift. During the pumping of Test Well No. 7, there were no influences
observed in Well No. 2 or the private well. Drawdown results are provided in Appendix B.
Locations of the wells monitored during the test pumping are shown in Figure 2
Further investigation of the City’s well field was completed as a part of this study and consisted of
using the City’s existing groundwater model to determine the impacts to the City’s drinking water
supply management area (DWSMA). The model was updated with existing Well No. 6 and
proposed Well No. 7. For Well No. 6 and Well No. 7, pumping rates of 1,200 and 1,000 gpm,
respectively, were applied to the model. The results of this modeling exercise resulted in the
expansion of the City’s DWMSA in the south/southwest portion near existing Well No. 6 and
proposed Well No. 7, as shown in Figure 3.
3.1.6 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE MUNICIPAL WELL CONSTRUCTION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the site conditions and test well results, an open hole Jordan aquifer well at this site
appears to be feasible and should be capable of producing a pumping capacity near 1,000 gpm.
Using the assumed pumping rate of the 1,000 gpm, the boundary of the DWSMA is expected to
expand to the south/southwest. The DWSMA boundary is an estimation, as the City’s existing
model would need to be updated with additional information from MDH models to accurately
regenerate a new Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA) boundary. WHPA boundaries are analyzed
in conjunction with property and natural boundaries to regenerate DWSMA boundaries. Lastly,
the City’s groundwater model was used with estimated pumping rates, that may change during
future system operations.
If the City decides to construct a future municipal well at this site, the resulting recommendations
are as follows:
Submit an appropriations permit amendment request to the DNR.
Confirm with the DNR that the conversion of Test Well No. 7 into a Jordan observation
well will not be required.
The proposed Municipal Well No. 7 should be bid as an open hole well but with a bid
alternate to be constructed as a screened well, if deemed necessary during construction,
due to the observed changes in geology.
Work with MDH during the amendment of the City’s WHPP Part 1 to better understand
the changes the City’s DWSMA, associated aquifer vulnerabilities, and interactions with
the addition of existing and proposed wells.

4. BUILDING ASSESSMENT
The existing building is a two-story masonry structure which has a “T” shaped configuration for the floor
plan. Internally, there are conventional wood stud walls, joists and decking. There is also a small one-
story addition made of wood framing on a concrete block foundation which is attached to the rear of the
building.
The house was built in 1890 and could be called local vernacular in style although it does have returns at
the cornices which are a carryover from the Greek Revival style. Perhaps the only distinctive features are
the cornice and the round windows at the upper walls. Despite its simplicity, it is an attractive building in
a style not used since the late 1800s.
Considering the age of the building, the overall condition is fair to good. Comments on the structure by
category are as follows:
Foundation: The house has an existing stone foundation wall. The foundation is in fair condition
but it does not matter since the building would need to be set on a new foundation if relocated.
Masonry structure: The structure is in good condition. The walls are made of brick masonry with
12” thick walls. There is currently little sign of structural cracks, failures and structural concerns
within the walls. The masonry pointing is in fair condition and would be a good candidate for
tuckpointing even though there are no significant signs of missing mortar.
Wood trim: The existing wood is in fair condition overall with some areas of rot and cracking. This
will require some work in order to make this exterior be less of a maintenance item in the years to
come.
Roofing: The existing roofing is in marginal condition and should be replaced. Although not
visible, it is possible that portions of the wood deck are rotted or less than structurally acceptable.
Doors and windows: The doors and windows vary in condition but, here too, this does not matter
since it is anticipated that they will all be replaced.
Interior walls and framing: The existing condition is simply wood framing and most of it is exposed
with the plaster removed. Some of the old wood lath remains.
Mechanical / electrical: The condition is poor to non-existent and it is assumed that all new
heating, plumbing, electrical work and lighting will be necessary.

WSB Project No. 013434-000 Page 7
5. CONCEPT
The concept is to retain the front portion of the house and demolish the rear section. In other words, the
rectangular block facing the front (or the street) would remain. The not-as-visible rear block would be
removed and the brick reused for a new addition, as is possible. The remaining front of the house would
be secured and relocated at the same site but to a new location. Prior to the move, a new foundation
would be constructed at its new location and the relocated house set in place. The new equipment, well
and addition would be installed but it is not certain yet if this takes place before or after the move.
The new addition would include all new well equipment and would be moved to where the new well is
constructed. The original house structure would be modified and renovated and would contain associated
storage areas. The upper floor of the original structure would be abandoned except that existing window
openings would be used for ventilation purposes, as shown on the renderings in Appendix C.
It is anticipated that, once a renovation is complete, the building would look very similar to the way it
appears today except that it would have a fresher appearance. Since the structure is not on any historic
register, a full restoration is not needed. Plus, since National Registration in particular does not allow for
relocated buildings, this is a moot point.
Since the new addition of the house would include all of the well equipment, MDH stated that they would
not oppose this type of construction as long as it is secure and meets the requirements of a well house in
accordance with the Minnesota Well Code and Recommended 10 States Standards.

6. COST ESTIMATE
6.1 COMPARISONS BETWEEN NEW BUILDING AND REPURPOSE OF HISTORIC HOUSE
To evaluate advantages and disadvantages between the conversion and repurposing of the house and
constructing a new well house building, the following facts should be considered by the City:
The house has roughly 30 percent more space than a compact new building.
The primary advantage and reason to convert the house into a well is that in doing so an
important historic property in Lino Lakes would be saved.
The existing house (and repairs/improvements) includes two stories versus one story with a new
building. The second story could become wasted or unused space if the building is converted to a
well house.
The house requires relocation, restoration items, rebuilding of walls and improvements to many
other building components for long term use.
A new building would have low maintenance materials and various warranties while the house
exterior, in particular, consists of old materials that have less certain longevity over the long term.
There are more risks with the reuse of the house, from the actual relocation to any damage
caused as a result of this otherwise uncertain situation.
The house has been vacant and unheated. Adding heat and attaching a new addition causes a
slight amount of uncertainty due to the change in environmental conditions.
6.2 ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST FOR A NEW, COMPACT WELL HOUSE
The costs for a new well house can vary depending on materials used and any additional storage that
might be included for various purposes. As a starting point, the construction cost might be between
$850,000.00 and $900,000.00. The cost would exceed one million dollars if additional storage were
included in the building.
6.3 ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COST TO RE-PURPOSE AND ADAPTIVELY REUSE HISTORIC
HOUSE
The following are estimated costs for the project as designed. In addition, there are costs for permits,
fees, expenses, engineering, architecture, and field administration that amount to about 25 percent of the
estimated construction costs.

Re: Birch Street (CSAH 34) proposed improvements
Background
Anoka County is proposing to reconstruct Birch Street (County State Aid Highway 34),
from Hokah Drive easterly to the s-curve at Old Birch Street, to address deteriorating
pavement conditions and safety concerns. The improvements are proposed to be
completed in the 2021 and 2022 construction seasons.
The Birch Street Corridor Study, completed in 2010, proposed a four lane roadway from
Ware through West Shadow Lake Drive to accommodate existing and proposed traffic
volumes. The County is now considering a two lane roadway within this section.
Roundabouts are being evaluated to improve access at Rice Lake Elementary.
A public information meeting was held on October 1, 2019. An estimated 150 to 170
interested persons attended. The County has been working on addressing comments
received at the meeting. A number of changes are being incorporated and include
extending the trail on the south side of Birch to easterly to Old Birch Street. Trail and
Roundabout locations are being shifted to minimize right-of-way impacts to the extent
possible.
County staff has also been working with property owners to address potential access
changes. These discussions have led to the Anoka County considering a 3rd Roundabout
at Old Birch Street.
Project Management Team representatives from Anoka County Highway Department and
WSB will be present to provide an overview of proposed improvement project and design
options being considered.
An additional open house is proposed for December 17 at City Hall.
Requested Council Direction
None required. Staff is requesting feedback on the design considerations.
Attachments
None.

Re: Pavement Management Update and 2020 Mill and Overlay Project
Background
The City’s Pavement Management Program evaluates the condition of the roadways and provides
recommended maintenance. The Program involves rating of one-fourth of the City roadway system
mileage per year, and using pavement management software to project the condition of the
remainder of the roadways. This information along with traffic volumes, maintenance data, and
geotechnical information is used for the City’s Roadway Capital Improvement Planning (CIP). The
City’s 2019 Overall Condition Index Map is enclosed.
OCI Rating Miles of Road Percent of System
Adequate 70-100 64 miles 66.5%
Marginal 40-69 20 miles 19.8%
Problem 0-39 15 miles 13.7%
The City’s roadway system Weighted Average OCI is 71.04. The City has added new roadways in
the recent years helping keep the average. It should be noted that the Pavement Management Report
identified the need to focus on the Marginal roadways so that they wouldn’t fall into the more
expensive Problem category. In addition, WSB has provided a memo for pavement reactive
maintenance techniques that provides information on short term solutions for roadways that need
reconstruction and cannot be funded at this time.
For roadways that are in the Problem category, staff is recommending a 1 to 1 ½-inch “thin” overlay
until the City is able to fund a full reconstruct. The thin overlay’s have been incorporated into the
City’s Capital Improvement Plan for Mill and Overlays. Enclosed is the updated 5-Year Mill and
Overlay Capital Improvement Plan. In coordination the 5-Year Street Reconstruction Plan has been
updated. For the Reconstruction Plan, year 2021 has been modified from the previous plan. The
Joyer Ln, Karth Rd, and Gaage Ln area has be included with 4th St (Main St to the north) in the
2021 project. The Diane St, 81st St, Danube St, and Elbe St area has be included in the 2024 project.
This update is a result of the condition rating, and project maintenance costs.
The Mill and Overlay Capital Improvement Plan includes the updated condition ratings, the addition
of thin overlays, and consideration of the Anoka County 2021 Birch St Improvements Project
construction schedule. The proposed 2020 Mill and Overlay Project includes:
Full Depth Mill and Overlay / Reclamation – Deerwood Lane from Birch Street south to
Fox Road, and Fox Road from Deerwood Lane west to West Shadow Lake Drive
Thin Overlay – Carl Street from 4th Avenue west 1,400 feet, Rehbein Street, 77th Street, and
Gordon Avenue. Bid Alternate* for Olive Street, Eva Street, Orange Street, and Maple
Street.
Chip Seal – City Hall Parking Lot and Town Center Parkway from Lake Drive to YMCA
Curb Repair – Town Center Parkway south curb line from Lake Drive to YMCA and east
entrance to City Hall parking lot
*A bid alternate is being included in the event that we receive favorable bids and have the ability to
complete additional work.

Re: Pavement Reactive Maintenance Techniques
This memo summarizes various pavement reactive maintenance methods. These reactive
maintenance techniques can be served as temporary and short-term fixes when the City does not
have sufficient funding to perform a more robust rehabilitation such as a full depth reclamation or
a reconstruction.
It is to our understanding that several roadways in the City of Lino Lakes, which are in poor
condition, should be reclaimed or reconstructed. However, the City does not have sufficient
funding at this moment to perform these major rehabilitations and the roadways are in need of
immediate fixes. A table summarizing the type of reactive maintenance, its estimated cost and
estimated extension of life is shown on the next page.

1 Cost estimates for all activities are provided in per-mile costs based on current bid prices or historical information and assume a two-
lane, 24-foot wide pavement. Cost estimates provided are based on the 2019 JPA pricing and the 2018 MnDOT Average Bid Pricing.
² The life estimates are dictated on the current condition of the pavements at the time of application of the treatments. It should be noted
that applying the treatments above to roads rated with lower OCIs should apply the lower range of the estimated life extension. F or
example, the range for Overlays/Mill and Overlays per the pavement management report is an OCI of 40 to 70. A road with an O CI of a
40 receiving a Thinlay™ should expect a life expectancy closer to 2 years, whereas a road with an OCI of a 70 receiving a Thinlay™
should expect a life expectancy closer to 10 years.

From: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
Re: Possible Amendment to City Code Chapter 401
Private Well Construction
Background
The City Council discussed the possible amendment of Chapter 401 at the November 25, 2019.
The discussion was in response to an existing City Code violation regarding construction of a
new private well. Currently City Code Section 401.02 requires that a property owner hook up to
city water, if available in a street, when a pre-existing on-site water system (well) fails.
The property owner, Chuck Wiegmann, requested City Council consideration of a variance at the
November 12, 2019 City Council meeting. As noted in a letter from the City Attorney, dated
November 18, 2019, there is no variance provision set forth within City Code.
Consideration to allow for the installation of the private well would require an amendment to
Chapter 401 of City Code. The prohibition on new wells where municipal services are available
is, in part, to recoup the City’s infrastructure investment and to protect the City’s source drinking
water supply.
If the City Council were to consider an amendment to allow an exception staff would
recommend consideration of the following conditions:
1. Consideration would only apply to properties where a private well existed prior to
availability of municipal water services.
2. The private well is not located within an area defined as a high vulnerability or very high
vulnerability area in the City’s Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) as
amended.
3. The property is connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system or the Individual
Sewage Treatment System (ISTS) is determined to be in conformance with the provisions
of City Code and Minnesota Rules regarding ISTS systems. The applicant would be
required to provide a compliance inspection report completed by a licensed inspector.
If the ISTS system is determined to be noncompliant and municipal services are provided
to the site, connection would be required.
4. Applicant would be required to pay the City Trunk Utility Connection Charges
consisting of a Trunk Charge and Availability Charge. The rate for 2020 is
$3,757. Other charges including the Lateral Connection Charge would not be due
until time of actual connection to the system.
Adoption of an ordinance requires two readings with at least 14 days between its
introduction and final adoption. The ordinance becomes effective 30 days after
publication. Based on the current City Council calendar 1st reading could be held on
December 9, 2019 and the 2nd Reading on December 23, 2019. The ordinance would
become effective in late January.
As requested an outline of the proposed ordinance changes was provided to the property
owner via email on Tuesday, November 26, 2019. Staff is will provide and update on
any discussions at the meeting.
If the City Council intends to move forward staff will work with the City Attorney to
draft ordinance language for consideration at the December 9th, 2019 City Council
meeting.

From: John Swenson, Public Safety Director
Re: Ambulance Service
Background
During the 3rd Quarter Public Safety Update on November 4, 2019, staff updated Council
on impending changes to ambulance service providers that will take effect on June 1,
2020. MHealth Fairview provided staff this notice but provided no other information
regarding service delivery.
Ambulance service within Lino Lakes has been an on-going conversation with the topic
being discussed at the January 7, 2019 Council Work Session and January 14, 2019
Council Meeting. During the January 14, 2019 Council Meeting, Resolution 19-07 was
adopted by the Council. This resolution stated its support for legislation that requires
local municipal approval. During the 2019 legislative session House File (HF) 1364 and
Senate File (SF) 2136 were introduced, but neither piece of legislation was given a
hearing in the House or the Senate. Both pieces of legislation would require local
approval for any changes to ambulance service providers.
Also noted during the 3rd Quarter Public Safety Update were several ambulance calls for
service that are of concern for staff. Those calls noted during the presentation and those
occurring after the presentation are:
• 9/27/2019 – personal injury crash on interstate – 37 minute ambulance response

Our staff have also noticed that Allina Ambulance has been responding to calls in our
City more frequently due to North Ambulances being unavailable to respond.
Public Safety Director Swenson attended the EMSRB Executive Board Meeting on
October 22, 2019 and the EMSRB Board Meeting on November 21, 2019. At these
meetings the state law and process for ambulance transfer of license (name change) or
ownership change were discussed as part of the impending changes in our ambulance
PSA (Primary Service Area). At this time the EMSRB Board has not rendered a decision
as to whether the ambulance service change in the PSA that covers Lino Lakes is change
of ownership or simply a transfer of license (change of name). This distinction will
determine what path the EMSRB conducts to evaluate with the impending change in
ambulance providers in our PSA.
The statutory language that outlines the Transfer of License process is contained in
Minnesota Statute 144E.14. This statute also provides details that would require EMSRB
Board to determine the change is not a transfer of license but rather a change in
ownership requiring a new application process. Details on the new application process is
outlined in Minnesota Statute 144E.11.
It should be noted that no public input would be accepted if the EMSRB Board
determines the change is simply a transfer of license.
As cited in MN 144E.14, if the EMSRB Board determines that “the proposed transfer
would result in an addition of a new base of operations, expansion of the service’s
primary service area, or provision of a new type or types ambulance service, the board
shall require the prospective licensee or owner to comply with section 144E.11.” The
process would require public hearings on the proposed changes if more than five (5)
written comments opposing the application are received by the EMSRB Board.
Staff from the Anoka County Dispatch Center (ACDC) has contacted Public Safety
Director Swenson to express their concerns of the impending change to ambulance
service in our PSA. Staff hopes to meet with ACDC staff prior to the December 2nd
Council Work Session to gain a better understanding of their concerns and the potential
impacts on emergency services dispatching in our community.
Staff is seeking Council input and direction on how to proceed.
Some potential pathways to address this matter are:
1. Take no action and wait to see what the EMSRB Board decision is. At this time
staff has received no information from MHealth Fairview Ambulance regarding
their plan to provide ambulance service in Lino Lakes; therefore, we have no way
to determine what, if any, positive or negative impacts this change may have
within our community.
2. Strongly advocate that the EMSRB Board find the impending changes within our
PSA does meet the requirement set out in MN 144E.14 to trigger the new
application process outlined in MN 144E.11. This would provide Lino Lakes an
opportunity to provide comment and input on this impending change. Absence
of the process outlined in MN 144E.11 there is no mechanism in current
Minnesota law allowing for local input on matters related to ambulance services.
3. Make application with the EMSRB Board to become owner of the ambulance
PSA that would cover the current geographical area of the City of Lino Lakes.
This endeavor would require significant time investment for staff and the
potential for financial investments by the City. As part of the application process
we would be required to submit a plan for providing ambulance services within
our City. If Council wishes to pursue this option, staff could research two
options to provide ambulance service; such as:
a. Pursue ownership of the PSA and identify an existing ambulance vendor
and enter into contract for that vendor to provide ambulance service
within our City.
b. Pursue ownership of the PSA and establish a City run ambulance service.
4. Continue to pursue a legislation that would change current MN law.
Staff is requesting Council direction on this matter.
