The 2008 Charter Administration budget has been overspent. The total budget of $5,700 for all charter activities has been exceeded by $166.63, prior to payment of this $1,126.65 invoice.

In September of 2008, Chief Streich had a liability survey conducted by the League of MN Cities Insurance Trust loss control staff. While conducting the inspection, loss control staff requested to see the "contract" between the Centennial Fire District and North ambulance for the space that they occupy and use. It is the understanding of city and North Memorial staff that there currently is no formal "contract" between the two entities. The League of MN Cities Insurance Trust identified some potential issues of concern including: 1. Liability issues with North employees working within the building. 2. Liability issues with North parking their ambulance within the fire station. 3. Code concerns within the space they are occupying. 4. The budget impacts with their use of utilities, paper products, soaps, and alike. 5. Personnel issues that occur with their employees that do not coincide with CFD policies. 6. Future space needs of the fire district. 7. Perception of a public entity supporting a private entity without cost. Chief Streich has undertaken some preliminary research of lease agreements used by other municipalities for housing ambulance services which set forth conditions for the use of city facilities, liability, and financial considerations. Requested Council Direction Staff is seeking direction from the Council as to whether discussions with North Memorial should be initiated to develop a contract which could address issues including the liability concerns identified by the League of MN Cities Insurance Trust, policies related to use of facility, and financial considerations to eliminate the public costs associated with the current arrangement. 1 • • • WS — Item 3 Date: To: WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item 3 February 2, 2009 City Council From: Fire Chief Jerry Streich Gordon Heitke Re: Standardization of Burning Permit Fee Background The Centennial Fire District issues permits for open burning in accordance with the MN State Fire Code within its service area. Each district municipality has established a fee for the permit. Both Centerville and Circle Pines charge $50 dollars for the burning permit, while Lino Lakes charges $30. Chief Streich is suggesting that the burning permit fee for Lino Lakes be consistent with the other municipalities to more closely reflect administrative costs and eliminate public confusion and questions related to the difference in fees within the fire service district. Requested Council Direction Staff is inquiring as to whether the Council wishes to consider amending the Lino Lakes fee schedule, increasing the current burning permit fee to $50. 1 • • WS — Item 4 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item 4 Date: Council Work Session, February 2, 2009 To: City Council From: Michael Grochala Re: Comprehensive Plan Discussion Background The City Council held a joint meeting with the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Panel on January 21, 2009. The meeting was held to solicit input from the advisory panel regarding changes to the Comprehensive Plan proposed by the city council as follows: 1. Create a 5 -year utility phasing plan. 2. Provide for an intensive Comp Plan review every five years. 3. Change (decrease) the allowed densities to those in the 2002 Comp Plan and cap high density at 12 units per acre. 4. Include requirements for affordable housing in all residential districts. 5. Allow for residential densities to exceed district caps as an incentive for developer to provide additional desired public values. The advisory panel, following considerable discussion, recommended accepting the proposed changes with the following modifications: 1. The residential densities be modified as presented by staff to the following: • Low Density Residential 1.5 — 3.5 units per acre • Medium Density Residential 3.6 — 6.9 units per acre • High Density Residential 7.0 — 12.0 units per acre • Increase the amount of (percentage) of residential development of the following Mixed Use areas: Lake Dr./ Main St., and Centerville Rd..CR J. • Remove selected unsewered areas from the 2030 staging plan to post 2030. The proposed changes result in an overall net density of 3.04 units /acre, which is consistent with Met Council Policy. 1 2. The wording of the proposed affordable housing policy be changed to read as follows: "Strive to integrate affordable housing in all residential land use districts." Next Steps Unless additional meetings are requested by the council no further city action is necessary until the expiration of the adjacent jurisdiction review period. Once the comment period is completed, all comments will be reviewed and addressed accordingly. Any proposed changes to the plan, included the council recommendations referenced above, will be presented at a public hearing held by the Planning & Zoning Board. The hearing is tentatively scheduled for mid May. Following action by the Planning and Zoning Board the plan will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration of "Preliminary" approval. Once the plan has received this approval it will be forwarded to Metropolitan Council for review. Council Direction 1. Staff is requesting council confirmation on the proposed changes as recommended by the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Panel. 2. Staff is requesting council direction with regard to additional plan review meetings. 2 • • • Proposed affordable and life -cycle housing policy revision: Rationale: Lino Lakes, as a developing city, is expected to accommodate the projected housing needs, entry level through retirement, of the community's population. Policies: 1. Work with developers to identify innovative strategies for providing entry level affordable and life cycle housing. 2. Use redevelopment tools to revitalize aging residential properties, made possible by various federal, state, local government, and non - profit programs. 3. Provide expanded opportunities for housing ownership made available by various federal, state, local government and non - profit agencies. 4. Provide for and designate appropriate areas for high - density and mixed -use development. 5. Establish requirements to provide for affordable housing in all residential and use districts. 3 • • WS — Item 5 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item 5 Date: February 2, 2009 To: City Council From: Gordon Heitke Re: Strategic Planning Process Background Each year the City Council engages in goal setting for the purpose of identifying issues and actions to be undertaken by the City Council and staff during the current year and following year. The initial draft of the Five -Year Financial Plan presented to the Council in November illustrated the impact of the current economic conditions on the City's finances. It was decided that the Council needed to engage in a strategic planning process to determine how best to meet the service expectations of the community during a period of increasing costs and constrained revenues resulting from a loss of state aid and a stable or declining net tax capacity. It is the recommendation of staff that this year's goal setting process also address the financial issues identified in the initial draft Five -Year Plan, including evaluating and prioritizing city services and identifying service levels to be provided within financial parameters determined by the Council. Requested Council Direction Staff is seeking alternative available dates for strategic planning meetings and concurrence on the use of a facilitator knowledgeable of municipal service operations and finances. 1 • • • WS — Item 6 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item 6 Date: February 2, 2009 To: City Council From: Gordon Heitke Re: Policy for Community Information Sign Background The community information sign, donated by the Lions Club, has been installed and completion work continues. The sign is considered city property and will be maintained by city funds. For these reasons, the use of the sign needs to be for a public purpose and the City needs to have control of the contents of the programmed electronic messages. Staff is beginning the process of preparing a policy for the use of the sign and contents of messages. If the sign becomes operational prior to the approval of the policy, staff is suggesting that messages be limited to City of Lino Lakes meetings and activities during that period. Requested Council Direction Staff is seeking any input that the Council may wish to provide to be incorporated into the draft policy. During initial discussions with the Lions Club, it was recognized by them that there could be no advertising of businesses or products. Staff envisions a policy that allows for the announcements of government agency and local civic organization meetings and events. Staff does not envision the sign being used for personal messages, political messages and advertising fund raising activities for private or religious groups or purposes. Staff does envision applying standards similar to those used for messages on Channel 16 and reserving our right to edit or refuse content. 1 • • • WS — Item 7 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item #7 Date: February 2, 2009 To: City Council From: Julie Bartell Re: City Code Update Background At the January work session, the council continued the process of reviewing the proposed update to the City Code. The council is reviewing independently those sections that contain only general non - substantive revisions. Staff will continue the review process by first responding to questions that council members have come across in their independent review. Also, in order to keep the draft code document intact as we move through it and make changes, the council will be provided with some new pages. Specifically, the following updates will be provided: Title 400, Chapter 401 (Water) and Chapter 402 (Sewer): The Community Development Director pointed out that a certain approved amendment to these sections was not included in the draft; that correction is indicated in the new pages to be inserted into your books; Chapter 218, Fee Schedule: We are taking the list of fees out of the code; the council approves a fee schedule annually, by ordinance. - Chapter 203, Council Compensation: Per council request, within Section 203.01, subd. 3, delete the reference to $40 and indicate that the amount will be determined with the council salaries; Chapter 207, Personnel Policy: The council recently approved a change to Section 207.05 regarding Background Checks per new BCA requirements; - Chapter 601, Licenses: The council recently approved a change to Section 601.05 regarding Background Checks per new BCA requirements; Chapter 503, Animal Control. The council approved changes within this chapter to allow up to three dogs without a kennel license; 1 The City Code Update process includes the presentation of certain chapters with a more thorough explanation and council review of proposed changes. At this point, the council has reviewed the following Chapters: 101. City Code 216. Campaign Regulations 602. Regulating the Sale of Tobacco & Tobacco Products 611. Lawful Gambling 613. Transient Merchants, Peddlers, Canvasser and Solicitor At the February work session, staff will present the following: 216. Campaign Regulations — This chapter was reviewed at the January work session. Based on that discussion, staff will be further explaining the campaign finance reporting process. The recommendation for this chapter is that the city utilize the state regulations that are already in place. 701 and 702 Liquor and Beer Licensing - These chapters have been reviewed and staff will be presenting updates that include the recommendations of the code attorney and the state alcohol enforcement division. Chapters remaining for review are 612 regarding Pawnbrokers, Precious Metal Dealers and Secondhand Goods Dealers, and 614 regarding Adult Use.
