AGENDA ITEM 1B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director
MEETING DATE: April 10, 2006
TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution 06 -57, Approving Funding for
Voice Over IP System
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND
As discussed at the April 3, 2006 City Council Work Session, we were recently notified
by the Centennial School District that they will no longer be able to provide telephone
service to the civic complex effective July 15, 2006. We are recommending that we
convert to a Voice -Over IP system to provide telephone service at the civic complex
and public works facility. An IP (Integrated Platform) system allows voice, data, and
video to be transmitted over a single network. In addition, voice mail, email, and fax
messages are all integrated. For example, staff can retrieve and respond to all
messages from a PC, touch tone telephone, or over the internet. Voice -Over IP is the
most efficient and inexpensive telephone system to meet our needs. This type of
system is the standard of what is being currently installed across the country. We will
be able to retain the same phone numbers.
We have met with the city of Roseville MIS staff on several occasions to formulate the
change over. The estimated project cost is $40,000. We also have to be prepared to
fund up to $10,000 (worst case scenario) for potential outside consultant fees. If any
unforeseen problems occur during the changeover, it's possible that the city of
Roseville may need some technical assistance due to time constraints, etc. Ongoing
operating /maintenance costs are expected to be approximately $1,925 per month. (We
are currently spending $1,525 per month for the operations /maintenance of the
existing telephone system).
In order to ensure that the change over is completed by July 15, we need the city
council to approve the installation of the Voice -Over IP System at the April 10 City
Council meeting. Equipment order /delivery, telephone lines relocations, etc. require
several weeks lead time.
Staff recommends that funding for this project be designated from the Capital Projects
Fund.
OPTIONS
1 Approve Resolution 06 -57
2. Do not approve Resolution 06 -57
3. Return to staff for further review

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL
CODE OF CONDUCT
Purpose
To establish a Code of Conduct, and associated remedies, that council members agree to abide by in
carrying out their duties as elected officials. This Code of Conduct does not supersede any existing or
future statutory or constitutional rights, but simply outlines appropriate council expectations, behavior and
interactions with each other, city staff, citizens and all other groups encountered as a result of city business,
so as to efficiently and effectively develop and carry out the mission, vision, goals and established policies of
the city.
Role /Responsibilities
Meetings - By Charter, the Mayor presides over meetings of the City Council. Speakers, including council
members, do not speak until recognized by the Mayor.
Act in the Public Interest - Recognizing that service to our citizens must be our primary concern, council
members shall work for the common good of the people of Lino Lakes and not for any private or personal
interest. Council members will treat all persons, claims and transactions in a fair and equitable manner.
Preparation - Council members are expected to be prepared for city council meetings and work sessions.
Agenda Preparation - The City Administrator directs preparation of draft meeting agendas. The final
agenda is determined by the City Council prior to the meeting. At the council meeting, agenda items may be
added or deleted by council members per procedures established in the City Code.
Conduct of Members
Staff Direction - Mayor and city council members direct city staff, contract employees and consultants only
through the City Administrator, as determined by majority vote. At work sessions, the Mayor will state the
concerns of Council or specific directions provided by Council to the staff. The City Administrator will
request further clarification if he feels it is required so that there is a clear understanding of what Council's
expectations are in terms of the actions to be taken by staff.
Respect for Staff Time - If a council member is utilizing an inordinate amount of staff time, the City
Administrator is required to bring this to the attention of the City Council for resolution.
Interactions — Council members shall refrain from abusive conduct, personal charges or verbal attacks
upon the character or motives of other members of the City Council, boards, commissions, committees,
staff or the public.
Respect for Process - Councilmember duties shall be performed in accordance with the processes and
rules of order established by the City Council.
Use of Public Resources - Public resources not available to the general public (e.g., City staff time,
equipment, supplies or facilities) shall not be used by Council members fot private, personal or political
purposes.
Advocacy - To the best of their ability, council members shall speak with one voice in representing the
official policies and positions of the City Council. When presenting their personal opinions or positions,
members shall explicitly state that they do not represent the Council or the City.
Improper Influence — Council members shall refrain from using their position to improperly influence the
deliberations or decisions of city staff, boards, commissions or committees.
Positive Work Environment — Council members shall support a positive, efficient and effective
environment fot residents, businesses and city employees.
•
•
•
Steward of City Funds — When the end of a council member's service on the City Council has been
determined by means of not seeking re- election, resignation, or the results of an election, that council
member shall not subject the city to ,unnecessary travel and /or tuition costs.
Communication
Sharing of Information - It is the responsibility of council members to publicly share information with all
other council members that they have received from sources outside of the public decision - making process,
which pertains to a topic under consideration. Whenever possible, new information or data obtained by
council members, pertinent to a topic being discussed, will be distributed through the City Administrator to
the City Council members. Upon reviewing the "new information" the Council may adopt a motion to
postpone further consideration of the information until all members have had time to review and interpret
this new information.
Focused Discussions — Council members shall work to keep discussions and debates focused on the item
under discussion without introducing extraneous or irrelevant information.
Request for Information - All council members shall receive the same information at the same time when
deemed ready for distribution by staff. If an elected official requests information in advance of others on
the City Council, the matter should be resolved by a majority of the City Council.
Coordination with City Staff - City staff should be involved when council members meet with officials
from other agencies and jurisdictions to ensure proper staff support as needed and to keep staff
appropriately informed.
Citizen Questions - Elected officials should refer questions and concerns from citizens to the City
Administrator or appropriate department director. City staff should report back to City Council on the
resolution of the referral.
Confidential Information — Council members shall respect and preserve the confidentiality of non - public,
protected non - public, private, and confidential information provided to them concerning matters of the
City. They shall neither disclose confidential information without proper legal authorization nor use such
information to advance their personal, financial or private interests.
Notice of Attendance — If any council member has knowledge or reason to believe that there will be a
large or emotional attendance at an upcoming council meeting or work session, they have an obligation to
inform the City Administrator as soon as they become aware of the potential situation.
Implementation
Orientation — This Code of Conduct shall be included in the regular orientations for new city council
members. Following each election, the new Council shall, by resolution of its elected members, adopt a City
Council Code of Conduct.
Compliance and Enforcement — Council members themselves have the primary responsibility to assure
that this code of conduct is understood and followed and that the public can continue to have full
confidence in the integrity of the Lino Lakes city government.
Remedies
It is the responsibility of the City Council to police its members. When inappropriate behaviors are
observed, any member of the Council can intervene. If inappropriate behavior is observed, the City Council
will discuss the behavior at a council work session. By direction of Council it will be determined whether:
a. A letter is sent to the offending councilmember stating they have been found operating outside the
established Code of Conduct, requesting them to correct the behavior identified as inappropriate or
b. The councilmember is formally sanctioned by resolution at a council meeting.

AGENDA ITEM 3F
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Julie Bartell, City Clerk
MEETING DATE: April 10, 2006
TOPIC: Referral of Charter Amendment regarding incompatible
offices
VOTE REQUIRED: Majority
BACKGROUND
Two Lino Lakes residents submitted a petition requesting a Charter amendment to the
City Council on September 26, 2005. The amendment would change the City Charter
to not allow City Council Members (including the Mayor) to also be members of the
Lino Lakes Charter Commission. Based on a review of the petition by the City
Attorney and a determination that the petitioners are not attempting to institute an
amendment under Minnesota Statutes, Section 410 as the petition does not meet the
requirements of that statute, the petition was found to be "advisory" in nature and
considered a request for ballot consideration by the City Council.
The Council directed staff to prepare a timeline indicating the process and schedule
such an amendment could follow in order to be presented on the November 7, 2006
ballot. That schedule was reviewed at the Council's March 13 work session and
direction was given to prepare the amendment for referral to the Charter Commission,
the first step in the process designated by Minnesota Statutes, Section 410.12, Subd 5
Amendments Proposed by Council. The amendment has been drafted in ordinance
form and received it first reading at the Council Meeting of March 27, 2006.
OPTIONS
1. Approve second reading of Ordinance No. 04 -06 (Amending Chapter 2 of the
Lino Lakes City Charter by amending Section 2.04 re Incompatible Offices to
add language disallowing city council members or the mayor from serving on
the Charter Commission) and refer said ordinance to the Lino Lakes Charter
Commission.
2. Continue discussion of the proposed charter amendment;
3. Reject referral of the proposed charter amendment to the Charter
Commission.

Re: Petition
Dear Jean:
I am responding to your fax regarding the petition submitted by Robert Bening and Al
Demotes to the City Council at the September 26, 2005 City Council meeting.
I have reviewed the petition as well as the State statute pertaining to amendment of a
charter. The provisions in the City Charter are not applicable to the subject matter
that is listed in the petition since this is a request to amend the City Charter. The
applicable statute that would govern this procedure is Minn. Stat. § 410. Based upon
a review of the information submitted and the discussion at the City Council meeting,
it does not appear to me that the Petitioners are attempting to institute an amendment
to the Charter by petition as authorized in Minn. Stat. § 1 la, The form of the
petition does not meet the requirements of State law. 1 si, D1 a . ru. I.0
• It is my opinion that this is merely an advisory petition submitted to the City Council
requesting that the Council initiate a proposed ordinance to amend the Charter as
provided for in Minn. Stat. § 410. Subd. 5. ,The Council would have the discretion on
whether or not to propose such an ordinance, submit it to the Charter Commission
followed by submission to the voters for approval or rejection.
In conclusion, the Council has the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed
on this request but is not mandated to do so by the petition. If you have any
questions, please contact me.

containing more than 1,000 words, a true and correct copy of the
same may be filed with the city clerk, and the petition shall
then contain a summary of not less than 50 nor more than 300
words setting forth in substance the nature of the proposed
amendment. Such summary shall contain a statement of the
objects and purposes of the amendment proposed and an outline of
any proposed new scheme or frame work of government and shall be
sufficient to inform the signers of the petition as to what
change in government is sought to be accomplished by the
amendment. The summary, together with a copy of the proposed
amendment, shall first be submitted to the charter commission
for its approval as to form and substance. The commission shall
within ten days after such submission to it, return the same to
the proposers of the amendment with such modifications in
statement as it may deem necessary in order that the summary may
fairly comply with the requirements above set forth.

Notary Public (or other officer)
authorized to administer oaths
The foregoing affidavit shall be strictly construed and any
affiant convicted of swearing falsely as regards any particular
thereof shall be punishable in accordance with existing law.
Subd. 3. May be assembled as one petition. All
petition papers for a proposed amendment shall be assembled and
filed with the charter commission as one instrument. Within ten
days after such petition is transmitted to the city council, the
city clerk shall determine whether each paper of the petition is
properly attested and whether the petition is signed by a
sufficient number of voters. The city clerk shall declare any
petition paper entirely invalid which is not attested by the
circulator thereof as required in this section. Upon completing
an examination of the petition, the city clerk shall certify the
result of the examination to the council. If the city clerk
shall certify that the petition is insufficient the city clerk
shall set forth in a certificate the particulars in which it is
defective and shall at once notify the committee of the
petitioners of the findings. A petition may be amended at any
time within ten days after the making of a certificate of
insufficiency by the city clerk, by filing a supplementary
petition upon additional papers signed and filed as provided in
case of an original petition. The city clerk shall within five
days after such amendment is filed, make examination of the
amended petition, and if the certificate shall show the petition
still to be insufficient, the city clerk shall file it in the
city clerk's office and notify the committee of the petitioners
of the findings and no further action shall be had on such
insufficient petition. The finding of the insufficiency of a
petition shall not prejudice the filing of a new petition for
the same purpose.
Subd. 4. Election. Amendments shall be submitted to
the qualified voters at a general or special election and
published as in the case of the original charter. The form of
the ballot shall be fixed by the governing body. The statement
of the question on the ballot shall be sufficient to identify
the amendment clearly and to distinguish the question from every
other question on the ballot at the same time. If 51 percent of
the votes cast on any amendment are in favor of its adoption,
copies of the amendment and certificates shall be filed, as in
the case of the original charter and the amendment shall take
effect in 30 days from the date of the election or at such other
time as is fixed in the amendment.
Subd. 5. Amendments proposed by council. The
council of any city having a home rule charter may propose
charter amendments to the voters by ordinance. Any ordinance
proposing such an amendment shall be submitted to the charter

commission. Within 60 days thereafter, the charter commission
shall review the proposed amendment but before the expiration of
such period the commission may extend the time for review for an
additional 90 days by filing with the city clerk its resolution
determining that an additional time for review is needed. After
reviewing the proposed amendment, the charter commission shall
approve or reject the proposed amendment or suggest a substitute
amendment. The commission shall promptly notify the council of
the action taken. On notification of the charter commission's
action, the council may submit to the people, in the same manner
as provided in subdivision 4, the amendment originally proposed
by it or the substitute amendment proposed by the charter
commission. The amendment shall become effective only when
approved by the voters as provided in subdivision 4. If so
approved it shall be filed in the same manner as other
amendments. Nothing in this subdivision precludes the charter
commission from proposing charter amendments in the manner
provided by subdivision 1.
Subd. 6. Amendments, cities of the fourth class.
The council of a city of the fourth class having a home rule
charter may propose charter amendments by ordinance without
submission to the charter commission. Such ordinance, if
enacted, shall be adopted by at least a four - fifths vote of all
its members after a public hearing upon two weeks' published
notice containing the text of the proposed amendment and shall
be approved by the mayor and published as in the case of other
ordinances. The council shall submit the proposed amendment to
the people in the manner provided in subdivision 4, but not
sooner than three months after the passage of the ordinance.
The amendment becomes effective only when approved by the voters
as provided in subdivision 4. If so approved, it shall be filed
in the same manner as other amendments.
Subd. 7. Amendment by ordinance. Upon recommendation
of the charter commission the city council may enact a charter
amendment by ordinance. Within one month of receiving a
recommendation to amend the charter by ordinance, the city must
publish notice of a public hearing on the proposal and the
notice must contain the text of the proposed amendment. The
city council must hold the public hearing on the proposed
charter amendment at least two weeks but not more than one month
after the notice is published. Within one month of the public
hearing, the city council must vote on the proposed charter
amendment ordinance. The ordinance is enacted if it receives an
affirmative vote of all members of the city council and is
approved by the mayor and published as in the case of other
ordinances. An ordinance amending a city charter shall not
become effective until 90 days after passage and publication or
at such later date as is fixed in the ordinance. Within 60 days
after passage and publication of such an ordinance, a petition
requesting a referendum on the ordinance may be filed with the
city clerk. Such petition shall be signed by qualified voters
equal in number to two percent of the total number of votes cast
in the city at the last state general election or 2,000,
whichever is less. If the city has a system of permanent
registration of voters, only registered voters are eligible to
sign the petition. If the requisite petition is filed within
the prescribed period, the ordinance shall not become effective
until it is approved by the voters as in the case of charter

amendments submitted by the charter commission, the council, or
by petition of the voters, except that the council may submit
the ordinance at any general or special election held at least
60 days after submission of the petition, or it may reconsider
its action in adopting the ordinance. As far as practicable the
requirements of subdivisions 1 to 3 apply to petitions submitted
under this section, to an ordinance amending a charter, and to
the filing of such ordinance when approved by the voters.

On November 13, 2001, the Lino Lakes City Council adopted Ordinance No 21 -01,
adding language to the City Code regarding drug Tabs, declaring such sites to be
hazardous properties and further establishing abatement and assessment authority for
associated costs.
The City Administrator has now been advised by City Attorney Barry Sullivan that the
State of Minnesota has enacted a similar law that delegates responsibilities to county
governments. In Tight of this new law that supersedes local authority Mr. Sullivan has
• suggested that it would be appropriate for the City of Lino Lakes to repeal its
ordinance so as to remove any conflict or confusion. A copy of the State law is
attached for your information.
Police Chief Pecchia has been informed of this recommendation and concurs with the
recommendation to repeal this ordinance.
The Council approved first reading of the ordinance at the March 27, 2006 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve second reading and passage of
Ordinance 03 -06 Repealing Ordinance No. 21 -01.
ATTACHMENTS
1. Correspondence from City Attorney recommending repeal of the City's drug
lab ordinance;

A few years ago, the City adopted a comprehensive meth lab ordinance which
declared these sites to be hazardous properties, ordered the abatement of these
nuisances and authorized the City to assess costs for clean up.
The 2005 Minnesota legislature followed the lead of Lino Lakes and other cities and
adopted a very similar State statute. See Minn. Stat. § 152.0275 (2005). Under the
State statute, the authority and burden for cleaning up meth Tabs has been delegated
to the county, local health department, or sheriff, which now have the responsibility
of posting these sites, ordering clean up, and following through with abatement. This
State statute supersedes local ordinance and I believe it is appropriate for the City
Council to repeal our clandestine lab ordinance so as to remove any conflict or
confusion. I am requesting that you place a repealer on the next appropriate City
Council agenda to take the action necessary to repeal this ordinance.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call.

(b) Interpretation and Application. In their interpretation and application, the
provisions of this Ordinance shall be construed to protect the public
health, safety and welfare.

either more or less restrictive than comparable provisions imposed by any
other law, ordinance, statute, or regulation of any kind, the regulations
which are more restrictive or which impose higher standards of
requirements shall prevail.
Should any court of competent jurisdiction declare any section or subpart
of this Ordinance to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity

20 Economic Development Coordinator Divine advised staff and the YMCA have concluded
21 negotiations for consideration by the City Council regarding expanding the YMCA in the
22 first phase of construction. She outlined the key points within the final agreement as well
23 as the benefits to Lino Lakes residents.
24
25 I Economic Development Coordinator Divine advised the source of revenue that will be

27 the Tax Abatement District in Legacy at Woods Edge. Based on developer assumptions
28 of anticipated values and phasing of the part of Woods Edge that is within the Tax
29 Abatement District, a 15 -year abatement will generate in the rage of $2,406,845. The
30 capacity is available to meet an obligation of $2,350,000.
31
32 I Economic Development Coordinator Divine reviewed the benefits the Council should

11 21ST AVENUEBACKAGE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS WITH CENTERVILLE
12
13 City Engineer Studenski advised the City of Centerville is proposing to construct a new
14 backage road, south of Main Street, between 20th Avenue South (CSAH 54) and 21st
15 Avenue. The proposed roadway project would also include the extension of 21St Avenue
16 to a point approximately 900 feet south of its existing terminus. The intent of the
17 proposed road project is to; 1) provide new access to commercial and industrial properties
18 south of main street; 2) provide vehicle circulation to off set access limitations
19 contemplated as part of the CSAH 14 reconstruction project; and 3) if built this year,
20 would serve to minimize business access disruption during the CSAH 14 project in 2007.
21
22 City Engineer Studenski advised it is staffs understanding that the City of Centerville has
23 authorized preparation of plans and specifications for the project, called for a hearing on
24 improvements, and authorized eminent domain proceedings for their portions of the
25 project.
26
27 City Engineer Studenski stated while staff supports the concept of the backage road; there
28 are several issues that need to be resolved prior to the City of Lino Lakes taking action on
29 the project. As proposed in the JPA, Lino Lakes would be responsible for 50% of the 21st
30 Avenue extension costs estimated at $150,000 and acquisition of the right -of -way in Lino
31 Lakes. The City does not have this project programmed in its draft Five Year Financial
32 Plan and does not have a potential funding source other than special assessments to the
33 benefiting property owner or a property tax levy. Staff is not recommending the use of
34 property taxes for this project.
35
36 City staff has made it clear to Centerville staff that Lino Lakes cannot move forward with
37 the project without an assessment agreement with the benefited property owner and
38 dedication of right -of -way. Staff would recommend that the proposed intersection of the
39 backage road and Northern Lights Blvd lie shifted southerly to line up with the existing
40 utilities and roadway corridor. Centerville has expressed concern with that alignment due
41 to additional Clearwater Creek flood plain impacts that would need to be addressed and
42 potentially delay the project.
43
44 The Council directed staff to continue to work with the City of Centerville on this project
45 and keep the Council up to date on the eminent domain process.

2 WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP LOW PRESSURE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM (SE
3 LINO LAKES
4
5 City Engineer Studenski advised White Bear Township is extending a low- pressure
6 sanitary sewer and water main system to their northern limits of the Township just south
7 of C.R. J and West Bald Eagle Boulevard. The City of Lino Lakes has been contacted by
8 White Bear Township to see if we are interested in a future extension of their proposed
9 utility project. Also, the Township has received a petition from their resident requesting
10 connection to the new utilities for a vacant lot owned in Lino Lakes. The vacant lot abuts
11 the Township on West Bald Eagle Boulevard where the new utilities are to be installed.
12 The actual connection location would be North Hobe Court in White Bear Township.
13 This is an existing neighborhood currently serviced by private systems.
14
15 City Engineer Studenski explained that if feasible, the new system could be enlarged to
16 provide future service to the West Oaks neighborhood in Lino Lakes. Lino Lakes would
17 pay the extra cost. It should be noted that White Bear Township is anticipating
18 constructing the improvements this spring. Any additional costs related to capacity
19 increases to service Lino Lakes are not currently programmed within the draft Five Year
20 CIP. Costs for this type of improvement would typically be borne by the City Trunk
21 Utility Fund. Any consideration of agreement with White Bear Township would need to
22 include evaluation of financing of the project.
23
24 City Engineer Studenski noted the area in Lino Lakes is currently defined as Low Density
25 Unsewered Residential. It is outside of the staged growth area and is outside of the
26 MUSA boundary.
27
28 The Council directed staff to continue to work with White Bear Township on this project.
29
30 INTERCHANGE IMPROVMENTS UPDATE
31
32 City Administrator Heitke advised staff is continuing to work with Anoka County,
33 Mn/DOT and State Legislators regarding funding for the 35W /Lake Drive and 35E/Main
34 Street interchanges. He provided a status update for each project.
35
36 The Council directed staff to continue to pursue reconstruction of both 35W and 35E
37 interchange reconstruction and work with the City's financial, engineering and legal
38 consultants to evaluate interchange funding sources including special assessments and
39 Municipal State Aid Funds.
40
41 The Council also agreed the City should use available State Aid Trunk Highway
42 Turnback funds to cover local share of costs related to 35E /Main Street preliminary and
43 final design, and 35W /Lake Drive and funding source review expenditures. The Council
44 agreed a resolution supporting the City of Centerville's proposed CSAH 14 and
45 interchange improvement legislation should not be placed on a future Council agenda.

Charter Amendment: First Reading of Ordinance No. 04 -06 Relating to Chapter 20 of the Lino
Lakes City Charter, Amending Section 2.04 to add Language Regarding Incompatible Offices,
Julie Bartell — City Clerk Bartell advised two Lino Lakes residents submitted a petition requesting a
Charter amendment to the City Council on September 26, 2005. The amendment would change the
City Charter to not allow City Council Members (including the Mayor) to also be members of the
Lino Lakes City Charter Commission. Based on a review of the petition by the City Attorney and a
determination that the petitioners are not attempting to institute an amendment under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 410 as the petition does not meet the requirements of that statute, the petition was
found to be "advisory" in nature and considered a request for ballot consideration by the City Council.
City Clerk Bartell referred to a timeline prepared by staff indicating the process and schedule such an
amendment could follow in order to be presented on the November 7, 2006 ballot. She noted the

existing area required M.S.A. designation to be revoked for M.S.A. 210 -120 -010. This segment

The Lino Lakes City Charter limits the street reconstruction
practices of the City. Under the Charter, the City may only use
tax dollars for street reconstruction if one of two conditions
are met: first, a citizen petitions the City for a specific road
improvement AND a majority of the affected property owners sup-
port the petition AND a referendum on the improvement is approved
in a citywide election; or second, the City Council initiates the
project AND the project is approved by a majority of the affected
property owners AND a referendum is approved in a citywide elec-
tion. The City is, however, allowed to perform limited main-
tenance of streets, such as filling pot holes and seal coating.
