CITY COUNCIL
WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. 1
STAFF ORGINATOR: John Swenson, Public Safety Director
DATE OF WORK SESSION: September 11, 2023
TOPIC: Public Safety Vehicle Purchase
______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
During the discussion with Council regarding the purchase of public safety vehicles, Council has
directed staff to purchase white vehicles only. As directed, staff has followed this directive with
previous public safety vehicles purchases.
Vehicle 399 is currently the only unmarked patrol vehicle that is not white in color and this
vehicle was approved to be replaced in 2022. Staff anticipates that vehicle 399 will be sold later
this year when its replacement is built. This will result on no vehicles in the patrol fleet that are
not white in color.
To enhance our police staff’s ability to address traffic safety concerns, staff is requesting that
one of proposed public safety purchases be ordered in a color other than white. If Council
directs to purchase one public safety vehicle in a color other than white, it will be assigned to
patrol and built-out to facilitate traffic safety enforcement efforts.
There will be no additional costs to purchase a vehicle in a color other than white.
REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION
Staff is requesting Council direction.

for that application. The application must include the date and location of
the occasion, the types of lawful gambling to be conducted, and the prizes
to be awarded;

between when a purchase order is submitted and the item is received is over 12 months. In
hopes of getting the 2024 capital items within the 2024 fiscal year, the City Council expressed
desire to approve specific capital items at the September 11th City Council Meeting so purchase
orders may be submitted by staff.

Project Justification:
Emergency vehicles are routinely driven at the upper performance levels. Vehicles with over 100,000 miles are more likely
to have transmission, suspension and engine problems. Peak mechanical and structural condition of performance-driven
emergency vehicles is essential to ensure the safety of the public and our staff. Police staff are expected to respond to
emergencies quickly, with constant due regard for public safety. As such, our emergency vehicles cannot fail. With vehicle
age, comes increased risk to the driver and public due to mechanical wear, exterior storage, and the effects of prolonged
salt exposure.

Police patrol vehicles often need to idle when in-service and not parked in an area with shore power due to the
temperature sensitive medical equipment and supplies the officers carry, as well as to ensure adequate charging of the
squad computer. According to General Motors (2022 Chev Tahoe owner's manual, pg. 391 - extended idle use) each hour
of idling is equal to 33 miles . A five year old squad car which has approximately 5900 idle hours, equates to
approximately 194,700 additional miles added to the vehicle.

#619
#619 is a 2013 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. It was built in May of 2012. This vehicle was purchased for the
police department in 2012 during our transition away from the Ford Crown Victoria. In 2016, this vehicle was
moved to the fire department which has kept the annual mileage relatively low. If approved for replacement
next year, this vehicle will have been in service for over 12 years by the time its replacement is ready in late
2024. #619’s total cost per mile (maintenance, repairs, fuel) is 28 cents. #619 would be my first priority for
replacement in Public Safety for 2024.
The air conditioning compressor is leaking and in need of replacement.
44
The majority of the rubber bushings on the vehicle are cracked and worn.
The aluminum hood is showing quite a bit of corrosion. There is also quite a bit of rust forming around the
lock cylinder on the tailgate/hatch of the vehicle.
45
The door panel on the front driver’s door is splitting open and in need of replacement.
The rear tailgate/hatch is in horrible condition and is in desperate need of replacement.
46
#304
#304 is a 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. It was built in March of 2016. This vehicle currently has just
over 113,000 miles. The Public Safety Department has put roughly 18,000 miles on this vehicle in the last
year. If replaced this time next year, #304 would likely have around 131,000 miles when taken out of service.
If delayed a year it will likely be around 149,000 miles before it is replaced. #304 has a total cost per mile of
30 cents. This would be my second priority for replacement in Public Safety for 2024.
One of the PTU cooler lines is leaking and in need of replacement.
47
The output seal on the back of the PTU is leaking and should be replaced.
Both axles seals on the rear differential are leaking and in need of replacement.
48
The front edge of the aluminum hood is starting to corrode and the paint will soon start flaking off. This is
something that will continue to get worse. If the vehicle is going to be left in the fleet we should try to get a
price on a new hood.
49
Rust is starting on the inside lip of both rear doors.
A very small amount of rust is just starting on the inside lip of the tailgate/hatch.
50
#398
#398 is a 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. It was built in March of 2015. It currently has around 98,000
miles. This vehicle is William Owens’ admin vehicle. He seems to be averaging around 12,000 miles per year.
If replaced this time next year, #398 would likely have around 110,000 miles when taken out of service. If kept
in service for an additional year it would likely be around 122,000 miles before being taken out of service. As
an admin car it doesn’t see nearly the abuse that the patrol vehicles receive. Its total cost per mile
(maintenance, repairs & fuel) is 20 cents per mile, which is considerably less than the two vehicles previously
mentioned. This vehicle is my third priority for replacement in Public Safety for 2024.
#398 has an issue directly above the windshield where the paint has come off and rust is starting to form. We
should try to get an estimate on getting this issue repaired in the near future.
51
The rear main seal on the engine is leaking engine oil and should be replaced.
There is a small seep/leak from both axle seals on the rear differential.
52
The paint is cracked around the lock cylinder on the tailgate/hatch and will likely start rusting soon. There is
also a small amount of corrosion starting on the front lip of the aluminum hood.
#600
#600 is a 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. It was built in February of 2015. This vehicle currently has just
over 102,000 miles. The Public Safety Department has put roughly 3,000 miles on this vehicle in the last year.
53
If replaced this time next year, #600 would likely have around 105,000 miles when taken out of service. If
delayed a year it will likely be just under 108,000 miles before it is replaced. #600 has a total cost per mile of
22 cents. This would be my fourth priority for replacement in Public Safety for 2024.
The PTU has a small leak and may need replaced at some point in the future.
Various rubber bushings are cracked and worn.
54
#301
#301 is a 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. It was built in March of 2016. It currently has around 102,000
miles. This vehicle is John Swenson’s admin vehicle. He seems to be averaging around 13,000 miles per year.
If replaced this time next year, #301 would likely have around 115,000 miles when taken out of service. If kept
in service for an additional year it would likely be around 128,000 miles before being taken out of service. As
an admin car it doesn’t see nearly the abuse that the patrol vehicles receive. Its total cost per mile
(maintenance, repairs & fuel) is 19 cents per mile, which is the least of the five vehicles inspected for possible
replacement in 2024. This vehicle is my fifth priority for replacement in Public Safety for 2024.
#301 is starting to show the smallest amount of rust on the bottom of two of its doors. No other issues were
currently found with this vehicle.

REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 6A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: September 11, 2023
TOPIC: Consider 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 08-23 Amending City Code Section
901.03 Section Relating to Construction Working Hours
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to amend City Code Chapter 901.03 to allow an
exemption to construction working hour restrictions.
BACKGROUND
Construction projects, both public and private, periodically require the completion of work
outside of working hours currently allowed in City code related to public nuisances and noise.
The City allows construction activities to occur from 7 am to 7 pm Monday through Friday, 9 am
to 5 pm on Saturdays, and does not permit activity on Sundays and federal holidays. Section
901.03 (4) currently provides for the following:
§ 901.03 PUBLIC NUISANCES AFFECTING PEACE AND SAFETY.
(4) (a) Noise emanating from any use shall be in compliance with and
regulated by the State of Minnesota Pollution Control Standards, Minn. Rules Ch.
7030, as it may be amended from time to time;
(b)1. No person shall engage in or permit construction activities involving
the use of any kind of electric, pneumatic, diesel or gas-powered machine or
other power equipment except as follows:
7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday
No construction activity allowed Sunday and federal holidays
2
2.The restriction on working hours in this § 901.03(4)(b)1. does not
apply to persons working on their own existing private residences;
Currently the only exemption is for persons working on their own private residence. Certain
projects, such as a repair of a water main break or storm damage repairs, completed during
prohibited hours would be in violation of City Code requirements. Additionally, certain
construction practices, such as dewatering, require continuous operation to complete the task.
To address these issues staff is proposing an amendment to Section 901.03 to provide certain
exemptions from the work hour and day prohibitions. Under the proposed amendment an
emergency repair such as a water main break would be exempt from the requirement and
undertaken as needed. Other work may be allowed by the City Engineer or Public Services
Director, on a case by case basis, if determined necessary to restore public service such as a
downed power line or eliminate a hazard, such as a downed tree blocking a road.
The amendment also allows for the City Engineer to approve activities such as dewatering,
common on both public and private projects. Any approval would be subject to conditions
requiring noise mitigation.
The City Council approved the 1st Reading on August 28, 2023 with the modification to include
“written” approval from the City Engineer under subpart 2.iii.

Staff is recommending approval of Ordinance No. 08-23.

the restrictions of this section. In other circumstances, where work is needed outside
working hours and daily restrictions to protect the public health, safety or welfare of city
residents, work may be allowed by the City Engineer or Public Services Director upon
determination that the performance of work is necessary to restore public service or
eliminate a public hazard. Any person responsible for such work shall take all reasonable
actions to minimize the amount of noise.
iii.Private construction activity that requires continuous hours of operation
to complete, such as dewatering, may be allowed subject to the written approval of the
City Engineer. Such approval shall be subject to any condition deemed necessary, by the
City Engineer, to mitigate noise impacts.
Section 2. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its
passage and publication according to law.

AGENDA ITEM 6B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: September 11, 2023
TOPIC: Consider 2nd Reading Ordinance No. 09-23, Approving Sale of Land to
JAVA Companies, LLC, Lots 12 & 13, Block 2, Carole Estates 2nd Addition
and Part of 7685 Lake Drive
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
______________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting City Council consideration to approve the sale of 2.24 acres of property owned
by the City at the corner of Lake Drive and 77th Street (Lots 12 & 13, Block 2, Carole Estates 2nd
Addition and a remnant of 7685 Lake Drive to JAVA Companies, LLC (Buyer).
BACKGROUND
Lots 12 and 13 were acquired by the City from the Economic Development Authority (EDA) in 1990,
along with Lots 14, 16 & 17, for the construction of what was then known as Centennial Fire Station
No. 2. At that time the City already owned Lot 15, Block 2 which was occupied by the original
Centennial Fire Station No. 2. Lot 15, Block 2 was sold to the American Legion in 1999 as well as Lot
15 in 2017. The City purchased 7685 Lake Drive in 2019 for right-of-way allow for the 77th
Street/Marketplace Drive realignment.
Lots 12 & 13, Block 2 of Carole’s Estates 2nd Addition are immediately south of the American
Legion and currently undeveloped. The property is approximately 2.01 acres in area. The
property was being used for community gardens as a temporary use pending its sale and
development. Two remnants of 7685 Lake Drive (.23 acres) are not needed for street purposes
and available for assembly with the abutting property.
The City has been planning for the realignment of 77th Street to connect with the signalized
Marketplace Drive intersection to improve mobility for properties west of Lake Drive and create
development opportunities for properties north and south of the new road. Land assemble and
the provision of right-of-way for the road improvements have continued to be a requirement for
the sale of the City property.
JAVA Companies, LLC (Buyer), currently constructing a multi-tenant commercial project at 601
Apollo, has expressed interest in developing the City property. Through negotiations with Buyer,
2
the City has reached a sale price of $519,080 for the 2.24 acres. The purchase is subject to a 180
day buyer contingency period with options for four, sixty day extensions. Under the terms of the
agreement buyer will;
1) Execute a restrictive covenant prohibiting use of property for automobile/truck repair,
car wash or a motor fuel station;
2)Purchase the property located at 7691 Lake Drive (the “Broker” Property). The sale will
not close without this purchase.
3)Dedicate to City drainage and utility easements and right-of-way for 77th/Marketplace
Drive realignment.
4) Make a refundable earnest money deposit of $5,000. Each extension will require an
additional $1,000 deposit.
The agreement also requires that the portion of the property (.2 acres of 7685 Lake Drive), lying
south of the proposed right-of-way, will revert to the City, at no cost, if the purchase of abutting
land is not made within 3 years.
The City and Buyer will split the platting costs equally. The City agrees to complete the plans and
specifications for the road realignment prior to closing and authorize advertisement for bids
within 30 days of the property closing.
The City Council approved the 1st Reading on August 28, 2023.

REGULAR MEETING STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM 6C
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Diane Hankee PE, City Engineer
MEETING DATE: September 11, 2023
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 23-91, Approving Change Order No. 2,
2023 Pheasant Run Reconstruction Project
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
_____________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting council approval of Change Order No. 2 for the 2023 Pheasant Run
Reconstruction Project.
BACKGROUND
On April 10, 2023, the City Council awarded the bid for the 2023 Pheasant Run Reconstruction
Project to A-1 Excavating, LLC in the amount of $886,886.00. Construction of the project
began in August 2023. The project includes watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer
replacement and street reconstruction. On July 10, 2023 the City Council approved Change
Order No. 1 for the contractor to perform a pre-condition survey and monitor the vibration on
the project for a new contract cost of $919,686.00.
As construction has commenced, staff has been required to turn additional valves not within
the project limits in order to supply temporary water to residents. It has been found that
these additional valves are leaking and need emergency replacement. Due to the urgency of
the requested replacement, and the close proximity to the project, gate valves need replaced
at three locations: Captains Place near Black Duck Drive (Site 1), the northwest quadrant of
the Pheasant Run and Birch Street intersection (Site 2), and the southwest quadrant of the
Pheasant Run and Birch Street intersection (Site 3). This area is also prone to high water
levels and corrosion. Due to these factors, the sanitary manholes be lined with an epoxy flex
seal on the interior (to supplement the gator wrap on the exterior) to keep water out and
extend the life of the sanitary sewer system in this area.
For Council consideration, staff has drafted Change Order No. 2 in the amount $58,440.00 to
remove the existing valves and install new gate valves. Funding for the project is from the
2021 Street Reconstruction Bonds, the Water and Sewer Operating Funds, the Trunk Water
Fund, and the Street Reconstruction Fund. The 2023 Pheasant Run Project contract with A-1
Excavating, LLC with Change Order No. 2 would be increased to $978,126.00. This amount of
Change Order No. 2 is within the project planned contingencies and budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 23-91 for Change Order No. 2 in the amount
of $58,440.00 for the Pheasant Run Reconstruct Project.
