The Lino Lakes EAB Management Plan was adopted in 2011. The plan defines the management options that are available (see attachment). The Lino Lakes plan gives city staff variable options for making decisions on whether to treat, remove, or replace public ash trees. Low value trees, based on condition or form, will be removed and higher value trees treated. It has been our intent that all street trees will be replaced if removed. The Lino Lakes Environmental Board revisited the Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan at their April Meeting. Suggested changes to the plan are in red. The City received a DNR grant in 2011 to remove and replace ash trees. The grant allowed staff to remove and replace 120 trees in several parks and one planted street in Highland Meadows development. The trees in this development were all lower quality trees. The City has purchased the tools necessary and have the licensed staff members to treat our remaining trees if we choose. Several areas are worth treating. Treating also allows the City to stagger our tree losses over longer periods of time. Cities that have not done this where EAB has gone through wish they had. Other City Comparisons: Shoreview If a resident wants to treat a boulevard tree, the City specifies that it has to be done by injection. They strongly discourage the use of soil drench treatments. Shoreview treated 60 public trees in 2012, 280 in 2013, and 339 trees in 2014. Shoreview has an EAB infestation in the County Road I area. Shoreview states in their EAB Management Plan, the city will attempt to distribute costs of EAB over a reasonable time period. Shoreview has updated their Tree Disease Ordinance to include EAB for both public and private trees. Shoreview will preemptively remove Ash trees from public property. Shoreview will replant public removed trees. Shoreview is licensing tree companies and requiring only injectable treatments for EAB. Shoreview has no solid plan for disposal and leans to Ramsey County for help. Blaine Blaine is removing and not treating. They will replace boulevard trees at no cost. Andover Included EAB in their Tree Disease Ordinance. The City will be removing infested public trees. The City will advise private tree owners what to do. Andover states in their EAB Management Plan that all city infested trees will be transported to an approved disposal site (no disposal sites or management of materials are identified). Andover is advocating in their management plan responsible application of chemicals that can be done by non -licensed persons. The City of Andover is contributing $5000 per year into an EAB fund for future management costs. Oakdale Oakdale is removing, treating and not replacing. Oakdale has identified EAB as a nuisance in their City Ordinance. Oakdale requires licensing of Tree Companies. The City is interested in developing a policy for residents to save a public tree with chemicals. The City started treating high-quality trees in 2011. Oakdale states in their management plan that they will research disposal options. Oakdale will budget for the replacement of city trees and is budgeting $8400/year to remove and replace Ash trees. Plymouth Plymouth is removing but not treating or replacing. Plymouth offers an annual tree sale for residents to replace Ash trees. Bloomington Bloomington is non- committal and are "public educating". Columbia Heights Edina Columbia Heights is removing low quality trees, treating high quality trees, and replacing public trees. Edina is removing and treating selected trees. Burnsville Burnsville is treating, maybe but only with licensed contractors. Circle Pines Circle Pines is evidently treating public and private trees and removing trees over time. In almost all other city plans, there has not been any specific plan for disposal. The Lino Lakes plan identifies two marshaling areas, and has an agreement with St Paul District Energy to reduce and remove all infested trees from public and private lands. The reduction and removal is at no cost to the City. City Staff is adding a line item into the 2016 City Budget for Ash tree replacement of public trees for your consideration. The suggested amount is $5,000 per year. Requested Council Direction Request suggested Environmental Board changes be implemented into the City EAB Plan. Attachments 1. Draft Emerald Ash Borer Plan with suggested changes. September 28, 2011 City of Lino Lakes, MN Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan Purpose: The provisions of this management plan are intended to provide a cost effective and culturally acceptable method of management for the outbreak of Emerald Ash Borer. The death of all the ash trees in the City of Lino Lakes will have a detrimental effect on home values, quality of life and environmental benefit. The goal of this plan is to mitigate the impact of EAB as much as practical, to residents and City Ash trees. Introduction: Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive, non-native, introduced pest that came into the USA from ports in Detroit Michigan. The insect is indigenous to China and is suspected to come into this country in packing crates. EAB most likely existed in Michigan for at least 5 years before a plant pathologist noticed something wrong with their Ash Trees in 2002. All efforts in Michigan to stop this insect have failed. It is now estimated that EAB can travel up to 4 miles by its self, or an average of 10 miles with human help. Humans help this insect get around to new areas mainly by firewood transport. With only 6 or seven years of study and research, managers at this time are unable to stop this insect. Scientists do know that once established in a City, all of the City's Ash trees will be killed in five to 10 years. It will be perhaps 20 years minimum until effective controls may be available. Minnesota has a tremendous amount of Ash trees (900 million). This number does not include the trees planted in Cities in parks and along street scapes. The City of Lino lakes has approximately 328 Ash trees in parks and 598 Ash trees on street boulevards. There are also 157 Ash trees on Peltier Island that have supported Great Blue Heron nests in the past. Preliminary remote sensing from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources estimates 10000 Ash trees overall in the City of Lino Lakes. There are three options (other than doing nothing), or combination of these options that cities can decide to follow. First, a city can remove all of their Ash trees. If the trees are not removed, unsightly and hazardous trees are left in the landscape. Secondly, a City can remove and replace the dead ash trees with another type of tree, thus mitigating the benefits of the lost trees. Third, a City can chemically treat the trees with an insecticide for an indefinite amount of time. A city can also do a combination of any of these options. The following highlights each option. 1. Remove all City Ash Trees: All Trees will die in 5 years so removal costs are associated with the city or a contractor removing all trees in 5 years. This plan has the lowest out of pocket expense. This plan also causes the greatest losses September 28, 2011 to aesthetic and ecological value that the Ash trees provided for Lino Lakes. The City will remove all public Ash trees using City Crews 2. Remove/Replace all City Ash trees. This option replaces every Ash tree with a new tree that won't get Emerald Ash borer. This plan is the least costly way to manage the Lino Lakes Ash forest and allow it to regain its former size. The City will utilize City crews to remove and replace all City Ash Trees. The City will provide opportunities for residents to purchase trees at discounted prices to replace Ash trees. The City Goal is plant enough trees to replace anticipated losses in the City Tree Canopy. The City will start in 2016 to remove and replace City Ash trees on city boulevards and appropriate $5000 per year to replant these trees. 3. Treat City Ash trees with insecticide. This plan has the lowest annual out of pocket costs, but it has the greatest cost over time. It also produces the largest remaining forest over time. Research demonstrates that insecticides can protect small trees < 12" in diameter until they reach a 15 inch diameter. Effective treatment of larger trees would require either a more frequent application, or a higher dose of inspective. Research as of 3.8.2010 shows one application of insecticide will treat a tree for at least 3 years. The City will utilize City personnel trained and licensed in treatment for EAB, to treat City trees chosen to be treated. 4. Combination of the first 3 options. Treating at least the middle range of City tree size also gives the City time to spread our losses over a much greater time period, and possibly eliminate our losses for treated trees. Treated trees should be limited to trees in good vigor with good form. Poor formed trees or trees in declining condition should be removed as soon as possible. Natural controls with parasitic and predatory insects, genetic selection and manipulation, all take time. The estimated time to achieve success in one of these areas is 20 years minimum. The use of soil drench pesticides for Emerald Ash Borer is discouraged do to the possibility of chemical movement off site. Administration The City Forester shall coordinate efforts with the Public Works Department, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and/or the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Anoka County, and St Paul District Energy to seek assistance for the removal, disposal, replacement, and treatment of City Plan Ash trees. Furthermore the City Forester shall enforce the City September 28, 2011 Shade Tree Disease Control Ordinance and assist and educate the public in private Ash tree disposal. The disease control ordinance shall be an integral part of this plan. City Park and Boulevard Tree Management Recommendations Recommended procedure for City Ash Trees is removal of all poorly -formed and/or defective trees first. Chemically treat all trees in the 6 to 12 inch classification, remove and replace all ash trees < 6 inches and trees > 12 inches. Should future chemical labels allow for higher chemical injection rates, than the City may choose to treat the larger trees. Peltier Island Nest Supported Trees It is recommended that Ash Trees supporting Heron nests on Peltier Island (County Property) be managed in such a way as to support the present and future heron Populations, and that a coordinated effort between Anoka County, and the City of Lino Lakes be arranged to this end. Coordinated efforts may be chemical treatment of existing trees and/or replacement of the Ash trees with Basswood, Hickory Trees., or other species that would afford good habitat for the herons. Disposal Since all trees within an infected county will be severely transport limited by quarantine, It is recommended that two diseased tree stock pile sites be designated in the City. These sites would be open to the residents of Lino Lakes to dispose of their dead Ash trees. Trees would be allowed to stay on site until such a time that there would be sufficient volumes for tub grinding by St Paul District Energy, or other party interested in tub ground wood product. Stock pile sites are the north western corner of the old city hall site, and the athletic complex land on Centerville Road and Birch. The City will maintain an open invitation to better -use utilization of Ash wood. Public Information Connect to the public by newsletter articles, web page, kiosk information booth and PSA's on local cable TV. Partnerships Share resources with other communities where possible. Investigate the use of marshaling of materials on a common interest basis. 553 street trees 425 park trees WS — Item # 2 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 2 Date: June 1, 2015 To: City Council From: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director Re: Well House #6 Pump House Background This item was placed on the work session agenda at the direction of the City Council at the May 26, City Council meeting to discuss the proposed exterior design plans. Attached are the following: 1. Photos and addresses of the existing Lino Lakes Well Houses and photos of Hugo Well House #6 2. Photos of houses near Lino Lakes Well House #6 Pump House Based on Councilmember Kusterman's concerns with the translucent wall panels (windows) creating a potential security issue, we have eliminated all translucent wall panels on the back side as well as the side opposite Birch Park. With the comprehensive security measures in place, staff does not see retaining translucent wall panels on the front and side facing Birch Park causing any security risks. Keeping the translucent wall panels facing the street and park will also assist the pump house to fit in with the neighborhood aesthetics. Stantec Consulting Services is currently designing additional exterior concepts based on City Council comments. These renderings will be distributed at Monday's work session and estimated cost impacts will be discussed. Requested Council Direction Finalize exterior design so Plans and Specifications can be completed and approved along with authorizing advertisement for bids at the June 8 City Council meeting.

Staff has received inquiries from the council regarding the future use of the land. As noted in the original staff report the land is primarily comprised of wetland. The property is not buildable but has some public value as lake buffer, stormwater and floodplain mitigation purposes as well as potential trail right-of-way. Rice Lake is classified as a Natural Environment Lake. As such it is the intent of the Shoreland Management Ordinance to minimize development activity along the shoreline. Additionally, the parcel has limited recreational value given the shallow water depth of the lake. As recently as this spring mud flats extended approximately 200 yards out from the shoreline. Accordingly staff's opinion is that the primary use of the property should remain as a protective buffer for the lake. The limited amount of upland on the may be used for stormwater management purposes in the future. If a future trail is constructed along the northeast side of Hodgson Road it might be possible to include a wayside stop at this location. Requested Council Direction Staff is requesting council direction regarding future use of the property. Attachments 1. General Location Map WS — Item #4 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 4 Date: June 1, 2015 To: City Council From: Julie Bartell, City Clerk Re: Liquor Licenses — Restriction of one license per individual Supplement to report of May 26, 2015 At the May 26 work session, the council reviewed information presented by staff on the restriction and requested additional information and discussion. Why have a restriction —pros and cons — I have checked with other cities and the reason given for having a restriction is just that it offers more control. This is code language from decades past and some cities have not opted to change it. Cities that do not have the restriction say they have more opportunities for this type of business. City council control over liquor licensing — If the city were to remove the restriction, the council would still have latitude under law in the granting of licenses. Cities generally have broad discretion when it comes to making licensing decisions and the Minnesota Supreme Court and the attorney general have said that whether a liquor license should be issued or renewed rests in sound discretion of the council and a city is not required to issue the full number of licenses it has available. Regulations currently in place — controls that the council currently has on issuance and operations of on -sale intoxicating liquor licenses: - Limitation on number of on -sale licenses — set by statute and based on population but the city may decide to limit to fewer by ordinance (doesn't include restaurants, clubs, hotels, theaters, bowling alleys) - Hours of operation — cities may choose to be more restrictive of hours of operation than allowed by state law - History of Liquor Violations — state law makes individuals who have had licenses revoked or, in some cases, have had violations, ineligible for a license - Public Interest - No license may be issued, transferred or renewed if the results of a background investigation show that the issuance, transfer or renewal would not be in the public interest. - Location — licenses restricts under zoning, cannot be located close to school, hospital or prison WS — Item #1 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 1 Date: May 26, 2015 To: City Council From: Julie Bartell, City Clerk Re: Liquor Licenses — Restriction of one license per individual Introduction At the work session on May 4, the council discussed Section 701.06 of the City Code that states that "no more than one intoxicating liquor license shall be directly or indirectly issued within the city to any one person." The subject matter arose because an individual who currently holds an off -sale license in the city is opening a restaurant (also in the city) for which he would like to secure a beer and wine license. The council discussed how this code language impacts businesses, and particularly restaurants, in the city and concurred that they would like to review the restriction. Staff was directed to report back with more information on this subject for council review. The council also requested that current liquor license holders in the city be invited to give input on a possible change that would allow more than one license per individual. Background History of Lino Lakes' restriction — It appears that the limitation of one license was included when the code was printed in 1983. Staff has not been able to locate any specific action that added the restriction in Section 701.06 to the City Code. Is it common for cities to restrict liquor licenses to one per individual - The attached map indicates cities in the metro area that restrict licenses per individual. Option to amend the City Code — For discussion purposes, staff is presenting one option to amend the City Code. The amendment removes the limit on the number of licenses per individual but requires that additional licenses can be issued to restaurants only. Note that Minnesota Statutes limit off -sale licenses to one per individual/per city. Public Safety Department Review — This amendment was submitted to the Police Department for their review and they have no concerns at this time. Requested Council Direction It is the council's prerogative to consider changes to the City Code. Information on Section 701.06 of the code has been presented for council review. If the council wishes to move forward an amendment, an ordinance would be presented for first reading at a future council meeting. A second reading and publication period would be required for full passage of the ordinance.

WS — Item #5 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 5 Date: June 1, 2015 To: City Council From: Julie Bartell, City Clerk Re: Update on 2015 State Liquor Law Amendments Background During the 2015 session, several liquor licensing law changes were enacted by the State Legislature and signed by the Governor. The laws became effective May 2, 2015. As outlined in the attached memorandum, some of the law changes are particularly relevant to cities. The following are changes that relate to licenses in our city: Sunday Growler Sales — State -licensed brewers that have an off -sale growler license through their city can now be authorized for Sunday off -sale of their growlers. The council has previously amended the Code to allow off -sale growler sales and has one brewery in the City that holds a license. Sunday On -Sale at 8:00 a.m. — The City Code includes the hours that on -sale liquor sales are allowed in the city. Currently a holder of a Sunday on -sale license may begin selling liquor at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday. The new state law allows cities to change their regulations to allow Sunday sales beginning at 8:00 a.m. but only for licensed restaurants, clubs, bowling centers or hotels. There is interest from license holders in the city on both of these changes. Requested Council Direction The state law changes noted are presented to the council for your information. If there is interest in incorporating these changes into the city's liquor regulations, passage of an ordinance amending the code would be required. Attachments Communication from League of Minnesota Cities attorney regarding new liquor laws Omnibus Liquor Bill — Summary of sections relevant to cities From: Cadman, Edward To: Clerk/Administrators Subject: [clerk-admins] new liquor laws Date: Wednesday, May 06, 2015 3:10:00 PM Dear Clerks and Administrators, The League has received a few questions regarding how to implement the new liquor laws concerning such changes as new operating hours, off -sale licenses for microdistilleries and Sunday growler sales. Since these laws are already in effect, here's a little guidance in case your city is approached. MICRODISTILLERY OFF -SALE LICENSE A microdistillery licensed by the state may approach the city for an off -sale license for sale of distilled spirits produced on-site. The city does not have to issue a license, of course. But if the city wants to allow off -sale by the microdistilleries, it should make sure its liquor ordinance accommodates this. The hours for off -sale at the microdistillery must be the same as the hours for the rest of the off -sale liquor establishments in the city. According to the state, state approval of this license is not necessary, but the state should be notified as with most on -sale licenses. Once the city's licensing ordinance allowing for this is published, the license is effective. OFF -SALE GROWLERS ON SUNDAY It's possible the city may be approached by a state -licensed brewer that is interested in Sunday off - sale of growlers of malt liquor produced and packaged by the brewer. To do so, the brewer will need an off -sale license and general approval of Sunday growler sales from the city council. If a brewer already has an off -sale license (to sell growlers), the city must simply approve Sunday growler sales in general, as well as the hours off -sale can occur. Upon publication of an ordinance doing this, the licensed brewer may sell growlers on Sunday. If the brewer doesn't have an off -sale license, and the city wishes to grant such a license, first the city needs to make sure the city ordinance allows for such a license. The city must still approve Sunday sales and the hours for which Sunday sales of growlers are permitted. Once such an ordinance is published and the new license is approved by the state, Sunday growler sales are legal. If the city doesn't wish to allow Sunday sales of growlers, it need not issue this license. MICRODISTILLERY TEMPORARY LICENSE Previously, a small brewer could obtain a temporary license for the on -sale of intoxicating liquor in connection with a social event within the city and sponsored by the brewer. Now microdistilleries can also get a temporary license for such an event. This license is subject to the same requirements (e.g., state approval, insurance) as other temporary on -sale intoxicating liquor licenses, but a city's ordinance may need to be changed to allow it to be issued to a microdistillery. "BLOODY MARY" LAW In cities where Sunday on -sale has been authorized by voters, a restaurant, club, bowling center or hotel (with a seating capacity of at least 30 persons) that holds an on -sale intoxicating liquor license and a Sunday license may now serve intoxicating liquor with food on Sundays as early as 8:00 AM. Previously, no alcohol could be served by an establishment prior to 10:00 AM on Sunday. How a city must proceed depends on whether it wishes to allow the earlier start time and whether it has set specific hours of Sunday on -sale service by ordinance. If a city has explicitly stated hours of Sunday on -sale liquor service in ordinance and wishes to allow Sunday sales as early as 8:00, it will have to change the ordinance. If the city doesn't wish to change the specific hours set in ordinance, the city need not change them and businesses must continue to follow the ordinance. If the city has not set hours of Sunday on -sale in ordinance or simply defers to state law on the matter, it need not change its ordinance now unless it wants to set a start time other than 8:00 AM.

Article 1 of the bill is the revisor recodification of statutes and amends several sections of Minn. Ch 340A relating to brewpubs, small brewers, and microdistilleries. The article is effective May 2, 2015. Below are provisions of the Article 2 most relevant to cities. • Microdistillery off-sale. Section 1 adds new language to Minn. Stat. § 340A.22 to allow microdistilleries to be issued an off-sale license by a local licensing authority. The microdistillery must only sell one 375 milliliter bottle to one person per day. Off-sale hours must conform to hours of sale for retail off-sale licensees in the licensing municipality and no brand may be sold at the microdistillery unless it is also available for distribution by wholesalers. Effective May 2, 2015. • Sunday growler sales. Sections 2 and 3 amend Minn. Stat. § 340A.301, subdivisions 6d and 7 to allow a brewer that is issued a license for off-sale to sell growlers on Sundays. Sunday sales must be approved by the licensing jurisdiction and hours may be established by those jurisdictions. Effective May 2, 2015. • City of Minneapolis special license. Section 4 amends Minn. Stat. § 340A.404, subd. 2 to allow the City of Minneapolis to issue an on-sale intoxicating liquor license to Norway House. Effective upon approval by the Minneapolis City Council and in compliance with Minn. Stat. § 645.021. • Microdistillery temporary license. Section 5 amends Minn. Stat. § 340A.404, subd. 10 to allow a microdistllery to be issued a temporary license for on-sale of intoxicating liquor in connection with a social event sponsored by the microdistillery. Effective August 1, 2015. • Instructional permit used as proof of age. Section 6 amends Minn. Stat. § 340A.503, subd. 6 to allow an instructional permit to be used as proof of age for purchasing alcohol. Effective July 1, 2015. • Sunday on-sale at 8:00 am. Section 7 amends Minn. Stat. § 340A.504, subd. 3 changing the time that on-sale of intoxicating liquor may begin on Sundays from 10:00 am to 8:00 am. This is applicable to a restaurant, club, bowling center, or hotel with a seating capacity for at least 30 persons and which holds an on-sale intoxicating liquor license. Effective May 2, 2015. • Special licenses. Sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 allow the cities of Becker (golf course), Duluth (Lester Park Golf Course), Inver Grove Heights (Inver Wood Golf Course), St. Cloud (Municipal Athletic Complex) and Brooklyn Park (wedding event center) to issue on-sale intoxicating licenses to specific facilities with the cities. Effect upon approval by each individual city council and in compliance with Minn. Stat. § 645.021. • Powdered alcohol policy study. Section 13 prohibits the manufacture, import, distribute, or sale of powdered alcohol until June 1, 2016. The section requires that the director of the Division of Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement must prepare testimony for the commerce and regulatory reform committee, and any other relevant committee, about whether current laws could be adequately enforced with regard to the manufacture, important, distribution, and sale of powdered alcohol. The director may make recommendations for legislation addressing any stated concerns. The testimony required under this paragraph is due by December 7, 2015. The section also requires the commissioner of health must prepare testimony for the Health and Human Services Reform Committee about the public health impact of powdered alcohol. The commissioner must address whether there is a potential for greater abuse of and addiction to powdered alcohol relative to malt liquor, wine and distilled spirits. The commissioner may take recommendations for legislation addressing any stated concerns. The testimony required under this paragraph is due by December 7, 2015. Effective May 2, 2015. • Brew pub sales at the State Fair. Section 14 authorizes brewpubs to sell malt liquor exclusively to a single licensee for sales at a single location at the State Fair. Sales may be made directly by the brewpub to the retail licensee or through licensed wholesalers. Effective August 1, 2015 (AL) WS — Item #6 WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT Work Session Item No. 6 Date: June 1, 2015 To: City Council From: Julie Bartell, City Clerk Re: Council Packet —Information Flow Background At the city council meeting on May 26, there was discussion about how and when the council receives information for their meetings. It is important that the council receive information that is complete and submitted on a timely basis in order to make informed decisions at their meetings. While the council's move to electronic packets means great flexibility in providing information quickly, it also requires version control. We quickly found that if we update the packet several times before the meeting, some council members could be using different packets as they prepare for the meeting. Recognizing that there is a need for control, there is an established procedure for producing and distributing the council packet as follows. - The packet is finalized and posted on the web (for council and public use) on the Wednesday before the meeting. One exception is that the packet for the second Monday of the month meeting is posted on the Monday before because the council meets at a work session that evening and reviews the packet. - The packet is updated once, if necessary, on Friday. The council is notified on the Weekly Update if the packet has been updated. - Occasionally there is a situation requiring staff to update the packet on the day of the meeting; this is only for very special circumstances.
