ADOPTED, by the Lake Elmo City Council this 18th day of March, 2008. Dean Johnston, Mayor ATTEST: Susan Hoyt,City Administrator City Council Date: 3.18.08 REGULAR Item: 6 Motions 1, 2, 3 ITEM: Authorization of Computer Hardware and Software License purchases and Approval of Joint Powers Agreement for the City of Roseville Extension of MIS Services and Support to the City of Lake Elmo SUBMITTED BY: Carol Kriegler, Project Assistant REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator Tom Bouthilet, Finance Director Greg Malmquist, Fire Chief SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The city council is being asked to authorize 1) the purchase of 14 desktop and 3 laptop computers which will allow for the replacement of all city computers. In addition, the Council is being asked to authorize 2) the purchase of several software application licenses and 3) to approve a Joint Powers Agreement for the City of Roseville Extension of MIS Services and Support to the City of Lake Elmo, a collaboration of 16 north metro public agencies (cities, fire departments; watershed districts, etc.) sharing the costs associated with managing computer network resources and supporting the computing needs of staff. METRO-INET currently shares the cost of a staff of 6.5 I.T. people who are technically employees of the City of Roseville. This is an opportunity to share the cost of delivering technology services to include dozens of software applications, email, VoIP telephony, security, and secured access to the Internet. The agreement is a cost sharing tool to help distribute the costs associated with managing computer network resources and to support the computing needs of staff. The software application license purchase will ensure that staff has the software available to perform their jobs effectively and efficiently while being lawfully licensed. SUMMARY OF COSTS AND REVENUE SOURCES The budgeted funding sources for the IT equipment is part of the 2004A capital bonds for the capital items, hardware and software, and the general fund for IT installation, maintenance and service. The city council sold $4 million in bonds in 2004 to construct a public works facility and a city hall. There are currently no plans for moving ahead with a new city hall until the city's financial planning is more completed and the city council has prioritized a number of capital projects for future funding. The city's financial advisor said that the funds may be used for capital upgrades to the existing city hall. The 2004A funds cannot be used for non city hall or public works related capital expenditures because of the purpose of the bond issue. In addition, G. O. Bonds are intended to be used within a three year time frame from the sale of the issue. Although our financial advisor has not identified any problems with arbitrage regulations, it is good to demonstrate the funds are being put to good use. In 2007 the city council authorized the purchase of the annex with these funds and identified this as a funding source for future city facility expenditures since it is likely the city hall will remain on this location for some time. The city also budgeted for a significant software and hardware update for the city computers to make the city more efficient and up to date with its technology. 1 The proposed purchases are all identified in the city's approved 2008 CIP. The 2008 CIP will need to be amended to reflect the additional cost of the software. The fund balance in the 2004A bond is estimated somewhere around 1.3 to 1.5 million dollars so it can easily cover these costs.

In addition, the city requested proposals related to joining the new computers to the network domain and providing ongoing management and technical support of the city's entire computer network. Proposals were requested from 5 I.T. firms and 3 proposals were received. Staff also obtained pricing for the computers from the State of Minnesota Contract and requested information regarding the opportunity to join METRO-INET, a collaboration of 16 north metro agencies (cities, fire departments, watershed districts, etc.) sharing the costs associated with managing computer network resources and supporting the computing needs of staff. METRO-INET currently shares the cost of a staff of 6.5 I.T. people who are technically employees of the City of Roseville. The request for proposal was two-part, the first part being related to providing computers and related hardware, and the second part being for services related to joining the computers to the network, software installation and providing ongoing management and technical support. Vendors and service providers could submit a proposal for any or all parts of the request for proposal. Summary of Proposals Received Part I. Computers and related hardware. Information related to pricing is in the attached spreadsheet. Part IL Joining the computers to the network, software installation and providing ongoing management and technical support. Proposals were received from 2 I.T. firms (PTN Computers,NTI consulting) that proposed fairly traditional service models. They each provided a lump sum, one time cost for installing the new computers and both proposed a fee for on-going maintenance and support of the existing network hardware. In addition, they proposed an hourly rate for any support outside of the outlined existing network hardware and software installations (i.e. adding additional hardware devices of software applications). These costs are available in the attached spreadsheet. A proposal was also received from a more untraditional service provider, Corporate Technologies. This firm offers a system that monitors clients' servers, work stations and networks remotely. The proposal offers the remote monitoring, a 24 hour help desk and a limited number of onsite hours per month. Hours of support outside of those limited number of hours allotted are billed at $125.00 an hour. Joining the METRO-INET group is available to the city at a cost based on the number of users, computer, and servers. The annual cost to the city is anticipated to be S 16,570.00. This service model provides support related to both the installation of the new computers and on-going maintenance and support for the network. In addition to providing technical support;the city's network would be joined to the larger METRO-INET network as shown in the attached schematic.

Currently the Planning staff is licensed for ArcView GIS software version 3.0 which is substantially out of date. The City has licenses for 3 users for Acrobat 6 Standard which allows for the conversion of many common file types to PDF, but does not afford for the compiling of multiple file types into a single PDF document. The Building Department has been using a building permit program that is Access based.substantially out of date, and no longer supported. Septic pumping records have been managed by the administrative support staff through another Access program that is also outdated and no longer supported. Both of these programs are in excess of 10 years old. RECOMMENDED SOFTWARE APPLICATION LICENSE PURCHASES Microsoft Office Professional 2007, cost$303.00 per user license. Recommended source for purchase is through Software License House, Minnesota State Contract software vendor. Licenses purchased through the state contract are transferable and at the lowest price available. ArcView GIS Version 9.2, cost$2,857.00 per concurrent user license and S1,224.00 per single user license. ESRI distributes their own product. Competitive pricing is not available. Acrobat Standard 8, cost$287.00 per user license. Recommended source for purchase is through Software License House, Minnesota State Contract software vendor. It is recommended that 2 licenses be purchased. This will allow 2 staff members the capability to compile multiple documents into a single PDF, an essential but relatively infrequent task. CutePDF is an alternative program available at no cost that will allow all staff members the ability to save common file types to PDF. Local Government Manager Municipal Software, cost$125.00-$225 /year per user depending on subscriber type: Permitting & Inspections, Code Enforcement, Planning. Recommended optional services include: 1) data conversion so that the old Access system data can be moved to the new Local Government Manger program, $1000.00; and 2) custom configurations to load all parcel and contact data and other miscellaneous custom configurations, 51000.00. The planners participated in demonstrations of the two most widely used planner/builder software programs, and felt that this web based program would best meet their needs and represented the best value for the City. TOTAL COSTS: Microsoft Office Professional 2007 $303.00/user x 17 users = $5,151.00 ArcView GIS $2,857.00/concurrent user+ $1,224.00 = $4,081.00 Acrobat 8 Standard $287.00/user x 2 users = $574.00 Local Government Manager Municipal $2,000 /optional services + 6 users = $3,977.50 TOTAL SOFTWARE LICENSE PURCHASES = $13,783.50 METRO-INET—Sharing the Cost of Technology In 1998 the cities of Mounds View and Roseville combined their respective computing and technology needs into a joint collaboration. This allowed the two cities to afford an enterprise class group messaging system and share the expense of operating and maintaining the system. Over the next ten years other agencies throughout the north east metro area joined the effort and today 15 organizations share in the cost of delivering technology services to include dozens of software applications, e-mail, VoIP telephony, security, and secured access to the Internet. These perpetual agreements are an effective cost sharing tool to help distribute the costs associated with managing computer network resources and to support the computing needs of staff. The program initially was developed to provide email access and basic network support assistance. But as networks and software applications grew to be more complex, the program shifted to provide complete network management, application services, and centralized purchasing of equipment. Additionally the individual networks of each organization were collapsed into a single, centrally managed network. This converged network is called METRO-INET, a Microsoft Active Directory networking domain. This collective domain includes all the users, computers, and network resources of all participating organizations. This has greatly reduced the number of control servers necessary for operating a Windows based network. Previously the network comprised of 18 domain control servers to manage 15 separate networks. This has been reduced to 4, saving approximately $45,000 in hardware costs for the group, and cutting the annual operating expense for power, software licensing, and maintenance. In addition to network support, the program provides software application services for its members. The primary application is email using Microsoft's Exchange Server. The messaging server currently provides advanced electronic communication applications to 639 employees. Before consolidation the members individually operated 7 Exchange server clusters with most agencies not having any internal messaging service at their facility. Consolidating resources into a single cluster saves $100,000 annually in hardware and operating charges and provides advance email services to smaller agencies that typically could not afford this technology. In 2003 a few of the cities co-deployed Cisco Call Manager, an enterprise class VoIP telephone system. Since then the system has expanded to include all but three of the agencies. The shared system reduced telephone operating expenses 30-50% for all agencies and provides a fully managed telecommunications system with little need for external contracted support services. Within the group agencies have also formed smaller cost sharing mechanisms to distribute individual applications. An example of this is Springbrook, a fund accounting software application used for payroll, accounts payable/receivable, utility billing and other financial and human resource functions. Currently Roseville, Little Canada, and Arden Hills share the cost of this application. Again the cost entry point for this application would be too expensive for a small agency but as a group cost share the annual expense for software support from the vendor. The group is currently deploying an enterprise document management solution from Laserfiche. This application increases the efficiency of storing and accessing city documents. It also provides a web based interface, allowing residents to search archive records of city council meetings, ordinances, and other public documents. Individually this application would cost about $10,000 for smaller agencies and nearly $75,000 for large institutions and require an annual operating charge of approximately 25% of the application cost. Collectively the use of a single Laserfiche system saved nearly $250,000 in capital charges and reduces the annual operating expense by $50,000. The greatest value of the converged network is the institutional knowledge base gained by sharing computer support staff. Each agency contributes personnel to assist in day-to- day IT functions and as a collective whole provides the depth of knowledge required to operate and maintain an enterprise grade network. As individual agencies this would not be possible, at least not on the level of technology enjoyed as a group. The success of this project is due to the efforts of all agencies and not that of any single City and for the fact that the agencies share the same goals and philosophy towards the use of technology. The group is focused on creating a network of applications for use by all agencies by leveraging the resources of all organizations to the maximum extent possible.

CHANGES MADE BASED ON COMMENTS RECEIVED: ® Technical changes were made in response to wording and other grammatical suggestions as well as inclusion of the park on Legion Avenue. Also added was the correction of park boundaries, acreage, and amenities in the text and maps. To address the comments regarding the importance private recreational facilities play in residents' recreational activities, the paragraph on page 1-2 under the section "Parameters of this Report"was reconfigured to include an acknowledgement of their role. There are also comments elsewhere in the Park Plan that mention private facilities. o The Lake Elmo Regional Park Reserve was included in the park inventory on page 2-9 and is referenced in other locations of the plan (pages 1-2, 2-1, 2-30, 3-13, and 3-30). Text was added to enforce the importance of the Lake Elmo Regional Park Reserve to remain as a reserve on page 3-13. To address the concerns of a second sports complex, the two suggested alternative locations were removed from the map. The revised text(pg 3-23 and 2-24) addresses that the need for a second complex should be reevaluated in the future to see if fields in neighborhood parks were meeting the population's needs or if a second sports complex should be added. The plan does not provide guidance on where a second complex should be located. © A sentence was added regarding the presence of the Washington County Landfill site to the Sunfish Lake Park inventory page (2-18). A sentence was added to page 3-4 to address the comment that there has been no measured determination of park usage. ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS FOR THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER Councilmember DeLapp provided an additional section entitled "exceptions" and a page of text to the plan (see attachment 1) 1 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The purpose of the document is to provide a vision for how the City would like to develop a comprehensive park and recreation system. The document provides the City with knowledge, guidance, and a basis for a response when opportunities arise for new parks through donated land, new developments, or potential land purchases. This document will also provide assistance in reviewing future developments with regards to park locations and land dedication. The City Council has an opportunity at this time to make policy amendments to the plan. In the future, if it is determined that a significant change has occurred or an amendment is desired after the plan has been approved, the Park Plan can be amended to reflect the adjustment or new direction in some or a portion of the plan as things change. The implementation of the Park Plan will be through the annually updated Capitol Improvement Plan (CIP)and as well as when future development occurs in areas planned for parks. The city is in the process of implementing a neighborhood park and trail development process which will engage the park commission and neighbors and abutting property owners in neighborhood park and trail planning for individual neighborhoods and along trails that go by various homes. PARK PLAN PROCESS ® Since September of 2006, the Park Commission discussed the Park Plan at nine public meetings during 2006 and 2007. The commission worked with the park planning consultants over the year and a half to formulate the recommended document. ® A well attended public open house was held on February 15, 2007. Twenty-five residents signed in at the door and five written comments were received. In the written comments, two residents suggested adding an off leash dog park and one resident suggested connecting trails be multi-functional. Two residents provided a number of comments such as incorporating the tri-lakes area into the greenway system, maintaining a working relationship with the county, keeping Sunfish Lake Park as it exists, increasing trail connectivity, removing the neighborhood park search area near Sunfish Lake Park, protecting wetlands, and maintaining passive parkland in natural resource areas. A number of verbal comments were received by commissioners, staff, and the consultants at the meeting as well. ® On March 14, 2007, the Village Area Master Plan consultants presented the village plan and discussed with the Park Commission the vision for parks in the village area. ® A joint City Council and Park Commission meeting was held on April 24, 2007. At this meeting, the commission received comments and feedback from the Council on the draft plan. ® A preference menu was conducted during the months of September and October to further engage public input. Fifty-two responses were received and reviewed by the commission for potential integration into the park plan. • After twelve months of discussion, public input, and editing, the Park Commission recommended the approval of the Comprehensive Park Plan at their September 17, 2007 meeting. ® The Planning Commission reviewed the park plan and held a public hearing on December 10, 2007 at which no one from the public spoke for or against the plan. ® In review by the Planning Commission, a planning commissioner asked about how the potential planned parks would impact housing unit requirements south of Tenth Street. It was discussed that the each development would be reviewed to determine housing unit counts and parks could be adjusted. After discussion, the commission unanimously recommended approval of the plan. The minutes from the meeting are attached. 2 MAIN POINTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PARK PLAN • The draft Comprehensive Park Plan begins with an introduction that includes a list of park system principles written and edited by the Park Commission. The principles serve as the foundation of the Park Plan. ® The existing parks inventory was also compiled and edited by the Park Commission. This list includes the Lake Elmo Center for the Arts Park as that property was purchased with park funding and will eventually be converted into a park use. ® The demographic assessment section of the plan utilizes information from the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan for population forecasts, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for recreation participation information, and the U.S. Census for city demographics. This information provided guidance in the proposed future park locations. ® The Natural Resources section identifies city and state policies as well as a Minnesota DNR Conservation Corridor program for guidance. This shows the overlapping vision at various levels of government for the protection of natural resources. Lake Elmo's natural resources were identified as potential future park features. ® The classifications for the park system as identified in the document are based upon characteristics and purpose of the park, and are helpful in assessing the resources currently available to residents. ® The National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) recommends that Cities locally establish a level-of-service rather than use a generalized standard model. The new draft plan follows this recommendation by establishing levels-of-service for the various park types based on discussions at the meetings held throughout the planning process. ® The accepted Village Area Master Plan identifies an area around which sports fields are located. The park plan integrated information provided from the Village Area Master Plan consultants early on in the process. The park plan has identified a primary community sports complex—a green area with the potential for recreational activities such as ball and soccer fields in collaboration with the village plan. Like the other proposed search areas in the park plan, this primary search area is intended to offer guidance as to where to obtain additional park land, but is flexible to allow for other opportunities as they arise. ® The two other areas identified on map 10 as community sports complex search areas are suggested locations if one additional sports complex is determined to be needed after 2020. • The community park search area was suggested to be located within the village area to serve as a major central community park with a sports center and walking paths that would function as the heart of the community. This was further discussed at the March 14, 2007 Park Commission meeting with the Village Area Planning consultant. ® The park plan recommends a greenway and trail loop that utilized existing and proposed trails identified in the approved 2005 Comprehensive Trail Guide Plan. The greenway along with the trail system would provide for a highly connected park system and establish new connections among the rural and future urban areas of the city. ® Sunfish Lake Park was singled out in the document as it is the largest of all the city parks, and is considered the crown jewel of Lake Elmo's park system. Six policy statements were created by the park commission to provide more detailed guidance for the future use of Sunfish Lake Park. ® Search Area D (as shown on map 9) identifies a search area for a local park directly adjacent to Sunfish Lake Park. The park commission recommended that neighborhood 3 park type facilities not be placed within Sunfish Lake Park as it would not conform to the policies outlined for Sunfish Lake Park in the park plan. ® A recreation preference menu was distributed in a city newsletter, was available on the city website, and also at city hall for completion by residents. The menu was not an official survey, but an attempt to receive information from a broad range of residents on information relevant to the existing and future park system and recreational programming. • The benchmark study (discussed in section 4) compares Lake Elmo with three other metro area cities. The three cities were chosen by the Park Commission, and were used only for identifying at what point the communities established city recreation programs and how those programs function. In summary, the draft plan finds that within the next twenty-two years, the City's projected population will develop needs for thirteen neighborhood parks, one community park, one or two community sports complexes, two special use parks, and a greenway to provide connectivity throughout the city. The specific locations for these future recreation amenities would be guided by the search areas established in the plan, but the final locations would be dictated by opportunities (primarily through park dedication in conjunction with development projects). Essential to the plan's success is the City's ability to be flexible with final park locations and to be proactive as opportunities arise. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION © This plan would update the most recent park plan from 1990 to reflect updated future demographics, existing park system amenities, and projected future park needs and potential locations. ® This plan does not address how to pay for the proposed parks and greenway system, nor does it identify specific parcels of land in the city for future park and recreation locations. This is not required in the plan and is a budget activity undertaken by the city council with the advice and input of the park and planning commissions. ® Since the public hearing on December 10, 2007, minor edits have been made to update the list of amenities in existing city parks.

One page submission for inclusion in Park Plan 2, Comprehensive Park Plan 5 L — PART ONE: INTRODUCTION Pto pose of the Plan Park System Principles Planning Pi-ocess Parameters o f this Report Exceptions Ideally, a fully cohesive report on the fundamental aspects of city parks in a country setting requires a depth beyond the scope of this Plan. The synergies sought for a park system plan combine the elements of open space protection with public access; connectivity of parks and open space with housing areas; the benefits associated with community socialization and cohesion; and individual wellness opportunities from organized and spontaneous recreational facilities. There is, for example, no sound basis for the City to define an appropriate level of environmental stewardship, which would require an extensive scientific analysis of our landforms and their associated variation of flora and fauna. There is no sound basis for determining the appropriate number, size and distribution of recreational parks without a comprehensive evaluation of who is being served and their viable alternatives. Needs vary by the age distribution of the served population, by the wealth of residents, by the size and nature of residential properties, and by the characteristics of roadways, trails and protected private open space, accessible to some or all residents. In addition, the extent of availability of private golf, tennis, boating, bicycling, and hunting clubs, of State and regional parks, and of for profit and non-profit privately owned fitness centers, sports entertainment centers, and regional ballfield complexes, are all determinants for understanding Lake Elmo's need to balance its City park system with an overlay of independently owned and managed assets. Significant components of our City's open space and recreational assets are independently owned. They include the 2,100 acre Lake Elmo Regional Park Reserve, 1,155 acres of ponds and lakes, the 500 acre 3M Tartan Park, and 60 acres in three schools within City limits with ballfields, play equipment, a swimming pool, and tennis courts. Additionally, the Cimarron Manufactured Housing Park includes a 9 hole golf course, open to the public, a swimming pool, clubhouse, tennis courts and ballfields for the use of residents in 500 units. Combined with some 800 (verify) acres of permanently protected, but privately owned open space, 30% of the City's independently held acreage is currently off limits to development, and are used by 1,000's of residents on a daily basis. Continued housing development north of loth Street is anticipated to add at least 1,500 (?) acres of permanently protected and association owned open space.
