16 1. Anoka County Public Safety Data System Update - Public Safety Director
17 Swenson reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file) reporting on the following:
18
19 - The system began with special legislation authorizing bonding through Anoka
20 County for a regional data system (for 22 cities) to replace the CAD system and
21 integrating public safety systems to allow shared data;
22 The project to implement the system was handled by the Anoka County Joint Law
23 Enforcement Council using an RFP process;
24 - The hardware and software is being purchased by the County; local jurisdictions
25 will be responsible for ongoing support and maintenance and he reviewed the
26 charges proposed to the City;
27 - Timeline on actions to bring the system forward to implementation.
28
29 The council discussed proposed yearly maintenance costs. Council Member Roeser
30 noted internal staff costs are included with outside assistance; staff explained how the
31 proposed staffing will result in consistency.
32
33 The mayor indicated that the matter should be added to the regular work session agenda

36 2. Review Regular Agenda of April 27, 2015
37
38 Item 2A) Consider Resolution No. 15-44 Awarding the Sale of General Obligation
39 Bonds, Series 2015A - The City's financial consultant, Terri Heaton of Springsted, Inc.
40 distributed information on the sale of the bonds that occurred earlier in the day. She
41 stressed that the results were very favorable for the City. The bond issue amount
42 dropped (with the work of staff and the approval of the council) and the bond interest rate
43 bids were low. The low bid came in at 2.08 percent, under the estimate, and that will
44 result in savings to the taxpayers in repayment.

APPROVED
46 Item 3A) Consider Resolution No. 15-42, Approving On -Sale Wine and Beer
47 License with Sunday Sales for Elwood's — City Clerk Bartell noted that an individual
48 has applied for a 3.2 beer and wine license but staff has just today determined that the
49 individual is not eligible for the requested license because he already holds an off -sale
50 license in the city. The city code doesn't allow for more than one license.
51 The recommendation at this time is for the council to refer the matter back to staff.
52
53 Item 6A) Consider Resolution No. 15-45, Granting Conservation Easement to the
54 Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and Approving a Wetland Buffer
55 Maintenance Agreement- Community Development Director Grochala noted approvals
56 received from the RCWD Board and staff is working on related conditions. A second
57 easement dealing with wetland mitigation is working its way through the process also.
