for the Award of the Contract. All 3 bids for seal coating came in under the Engineer's estimate
of $1.20 per square yard. Pearson Brothers, Inc., provided the low bid of $1 per square yard,
resulting in a construction cost that was $14,700 under the Engineer's estimate. It is hereby
recommended that Council award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Pearson
Brothers, Inc., as outlined in the Engineers Recommendation of the Award of the Contract.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above information, it is recommended that the City

Council has historically approved such, this item is included on tonight's Consent Agenda.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For variance applications, the burden is on the applicant
to demonstrate why this situation is unique and necessitates flexibility to code requirements. To
make this case, a variance can only be granted by the city when strict enforcement of the code
would cause undue hardship on a property owner. "Hardship" is broken down into the following
three components:
a. The proposed use of the property and associated structures in question cannot be
established under the conditions allowed by the city's zoning regulations and no
other reasonable alternative use exists;
b. The plight of the landowner is due to the physical conditions unique to the land,
structure, or building involved and are not applicable to other lands, structures,
or buildings in the same zoning district; the unique conditions of the site were not
caused or accepted by the landowner after the effective date of the city's zoning
regulations; and
c. Granting of the variance would not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood.

City Council Meeting Variance; 8242 Hidden Bay Trail
May 17th, 2011 Consent Agenda Item 6
Statutory changes regarding municipal reviews of variances took effect on May 6, 2011. The
state statutes were amended to restore municipal variance authority in repose to Krummenacher
v. City of Minnetonka which took place in June of 2010.
The new law renames the municipal variance standard from "undue hardship" to "practical
difficulties" but otherwise retains the familiar three factor test of (1) reasonableness, (2)
uniqueness and (3) essential character, Also included is a sentence new to city variance authority
that was already included in the county statutes: "Variances shall only be permitted when they
are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance and when the terms of the
variance are consistent with the comprehensive plan."
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION & STAFF REPORT: In reviewing
the request against the three criteria listed above, staffs interpretation and the Planning
Commission's unanimous recommendation are that all criteria are met. A septic system is
necessary to utilize the home on the site and the current property owner did not create the
nonconforming lot, or the occurring limitations of the site.
This septic system site was chosen because of the location of the house, existing septic system,
the well and the driveways. In addition, the weir is located along the northern property line
under an easement which controls lake levels for both Olson Lake and Lake Demontreville, The
septic designer said that soil borings showed rock in the ground as it got closer to the weir, which
makes for an environment unsuitable to septic systems. Given the floodplains located on the site
along with the other infrastructure and structures, the proposed site was chosen.
Staff received three letters in response to the mailing sent out regarding the
application. One letter was supportive of the variance application. The other two had
concerns — one with water contamination, the other with the suggestion of relocating
the applicant's well and neighbor's well to have additional potential locations for the
septic system.
A representative from Washington County's Public Health Department will be
attending the meeting to answer any questions the City Council may have regarding
the technical aspect of the permit or his professional opinion.
• As of October 1, 2010, Washington County took over the septic permitting and
inspections of septic systems for the City of Lake Elmo. Although the County now
permits septic systems, the City of Lake Elmo continues to be the authority on
granting or denying variances.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above background information, Planning Commission
recommendation and staff report, it is recommended that the City Council approve the septic
system variance as part of tonight's Consent Agenda.

CITY OF LAKE ELMO
WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 2011-020
A RESOLUTION APP.ROVING A 25 FOOT VARIANCE FROM THE REQUIRED 75 FOOT
SETBACK TO THE ORDINARY HIGH WATERLINE AT 8242 HIDDEN BAY TRAIL NORTH
WHEREAS, the City of Lake Elmo is a municipal corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Danette Jahnke and Richard Leonard, 8242 Hidden Bay Trail (the
"Applicant") has submitted an application to the City of Lake Elmo (the "City") for a variance to
allow the construction of a replacement septic system 25 feet from the Ordinary High Waterline
where a 75 foot setback is required, a copy of which is on file with the City; and
WHEREAS, notice has been published, mailed and posted pursuant to the Lake Elmo
Zoning Ordinance, Section 154.017; and
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission held a public hearing on said matter
on April 25, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission has submitted its report and
recommendation to the City Council as part of a Staff Memorandum dated May 17, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered said matter at its May 17, 2011 meeting.
NOW, THEREFORE, based on the testimony elicited and information received, th
City Council makes the following:
FINDINGS
1) That the procedures for obtaining said Variance are found in the Lake Elmo Zoning
Ordinance, Section 154.017.
2) That all the submission requirements of said 154.017 have been met by the Applicant.
3) That the proposed variance is to allow the construction of a replacement septic system at
8242 Hidden Bay Trail that would be set back 25 feet from the Ordinary High Waterline,
which is 50 feet closer to the line. The septic system proposed is a mound system.
4) That the Variance will be located on property legally described as Lot 4, Block 1, Oace
Acres 4t11 Addition, Washington Co., Minnesota.
5) The proposed septic system cannot be established under the conditions allowed by the
city's zoning regulations and no other reasonable alternative use exists. This property is
unable to hook up to a 201 system (city -owned community septic system) and is not
guided for city sewer in the 2030 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. A private system is
necessary to serve the existing home with wastewater services. The physical
constraints of the lot, the lack of other options to sewer the house, and the need for
wastewater management for the existing home to continue to be inhabitable make this
situation unique.
6) The plight of the landowner is due to the physical conditions unique to the land and are
not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same zoning district. In
1970, it was determined this lot could be utilized for residential purposes and a
building permit was issuedfor a new home. The property is just over half an acre in
size where a 1.5 acre minimum lot size is required and is located on a lake which, in
combination with the house location, create a difficult situation in which to find a
conforming location for a replacement septic system.
There are .floodplains on this property as well as a weir which was installed in the mid
1980's by the Valley Branch Watershed District to control water levels .for Olson Lake
and Lake Demontreville. The weir is identified on the applicant's site plan along the
northeastern property line from Hidden Bay Trail down to the lake.
Soil borings identified rock embedded in the ground the closer to the weir, which is not
conducive to a septic system. Therefore land near the weir was unsuitable for the
proposed replacement system. The location of the home, driveways, well, existing
septic system, floodplain and weir are all restrictions that severely limit the potential
location sites at which the septic tanks and drainfield could be built.
7 The variance will not change the essential character of the neighborhood. A septic system
is a standard requirement for homes throughout the city, many of which have a mound
systetn in their yard. The proposed septic system is a mound system which will be
visible from the adjacent neighbors as an elevated and grassy rise. However, a raised
system would have minimal, if any impact to neighbors and would not effect the
character of the neighborhood.
CONCLUSIONS AND DECISION
Based on the foregoing, the Applicants' application for a Variance is granted with the following
conditions:
1) No adverse impacts are allowed to the adjacent lots. Existing drainage patterns must be
maintained.
2) The mound system must be constructed outside the FEMA floodplains.
3) The system shall be monitored for proper operation once in each of the first two years.
4) The applicant is encouraged to work with the Valley Branch Watershed District to reduce
erosion on or near the weir.
Passed and duly adopted this 17th day of May 2011 by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo,
Minnesota.

Information
The City of Lake Elmo has received a request from Danette Jahnke to construct a
septic system 25 feet from Lake Olson's Ordinary High Waterline (OHW).
This property was platted as part of the Oace Acres 4th Addition and is subject to
easements, floodplains, and regional infrastructure utilized to manage lake levels.
A building permit was issued for a new home in 1970. The files also show an
Individual Sewage Disposal System was permitted in December of 1970 for the
property. Staff was not able to find any documents in the files showing that this
system has been updated or moved since that time.
A variance was approved (Resolution 2002-056) for the site in June of 2002 for home
and garage additions with two conditions of approval written as follows:
1. Deletion of the proposed second driveway access to the fourth (lower) garage
stalls.
2. Inspection of the existing private septic system by a qualified professional, with a
report to the City as to inspection findings, and required upgrades to the system to
comply with Section 325.06 of the City Code. Inspection report and required septic
system upgrades shall be completed prior to issuance of any Building Permits for
house or garage additions.
This resulted in a septic inspection and report which was included in the city's file. A
February 22, 2003 report identified the septic system as "failing" in accordance with
MPCA Ordinance 7080.0020 Subp. 16a because of the bottomless septic tank and the
drywell tank. The report identified that the system was not an imminent threat to the
public health, and while the drainfield was not considered failing at the time the report
.Request; Jahrthe and Le a 8242 Rieloor
• City Counr.:11 &Tom 5-17-11
was written, it did identify that it could fail at anytime in the future.
The lakeshore lot is 0.52 acres in size including the area below the Ordinary High
Water Line (OHW). Olson Lake is categorized as a Recreational Development Lake
in the shoreland code, which requires a minimum sewage treatment system setback of
75 feet from the OHW.
The property has a number of physical constraints, which are identified in more detail
in the review of the variance criteria.
Applicable Section 150.253 Administration.
Codes: (B 2) Variance. Identifies procedures.
Section 150.254 Shoreland Classification.
(B 2) Recreational Development Lakes, Identifies Lake Olson's OHW at 929.3
and the 100-Year Elevation at 931.0.

(D 1 a). Identifies the sewage treatment system setback for recreational
development lakes to be 75 feet.
Section 150.253 Administration (Shoreland)
(B 2 b) Variance.
For existing developments, the application for variance must clearly demonstrate
whether a conforming sewage treatment system is present for the intended use of
the property. The variance, if issued, must require reconstruction of a non-
confomiing sewage treatment system.

Variance
Criteria:
ORDINARY HIGH WATER MARK OR ELEVATION (0.H.FV.). The boundary
of public waters and wetlands, and shall be an elevation delineating the highest water
level which has been maintained for a sufficient period of time to leave evidence upon
the landscape, commonly that point where the natural vegetation changes from
predominantly aquatic to predominantly terrestrial. For water courses, the ordinary
high water level is the elevation of the top of the bank of the channel. For reservoirs
and flowages, the ordinary high water level is the operating elevation of the normal
summer pool.
SEPTIC TANK. A sound, durable, watertight sewage tank designed and
constructed to receive the discharge of sewage from a building sewer, separate solids
from liquids, digest organic matter, and store liquids through a period of detention.
SHORE IMPACT ZONE. Land located between the ordinary high water level of a
public water and a line parallel to it at a setback of 50% of the structure setback.
SHORELAND. Land located within the following distances from public waters:
1,000 feet from the ordinary high water level of a lake, pond, or foliage; and 300 feet
from a river or stream, or the landward extend of a flood plain designated by
ordinance on a river or stream; whichever is greater. The limits of shorelands may be
reduced whenever the waters involved are bounded by topographic divides which
extend landward from the waters for lesser distances and when approved by the
Commissioner.
STANDARD SYSTEM. An individual sewage treatment system employing a
building sewer, sewage tank, and the soil treatment system commonly known as a
dram field or leach field.
VARIANCE. A modification of a specific permitted development standard

Statutory changes regarding municipal reviews of variances took effect on May 6,
2011. The state statutes were amended to restore municipal variance authority in
repose to Krummenacher v. City of Minnetonka which took place in June of 2010.
The new law renames the municipal variance standard from "undue hardship" to
"practical difficulties" but otherwise retains the familiar three factor test of (1)
reasonableness, (2) uniqueness and (3) essential character. Also included is a sentence
new to city variance authority that was already included in the county statutes:

with the comprehensive plan."
This change does not effect staffs recommendation on this application.
An applicant must establish and demonstrate compliance with the variance criteria set
forth in Lake Elmo City Code Section 154.017 before an exception or modification to
city code requirements can be granted. For ease of review, staff provides a three-part
breakdown of the definition of "hardship" in Lake Elmo City code to ensure the
requests are meeting the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
The proposed use of the property and associated structures in question cannot be
established under the conditions allowed by the city's zoning regulations and no
other reasonable alternative use exists;
This property is unable to hook up to a 201 system (city -owned community septic
system) and is not guided for city sewer in the 2030 Lake Elmo Comprehensive
Plan. A private system is necessary to serve the existing home with wastewater
services.
Due to the physical constraints of the lot, the lack of other options to sewer the
house, and the need for wastewater management for the existing home to continue
to be inhabitable, staff finds that this criteria is met.
2, The plight of the landowner is due to the physical conditions unique to the land,
structure, or building involved and are not applicable to other lands, structures, or
buildings in the same zoning district; the unique conditions of the site were not
caused or accepted by the landowner after the effective date of the city's zoning
regulations.
In 1970, it was determined this lot could be utilized for residential puiposes and a
building permit was issued for a new home. The property is just over half an acre
in size where a 1.5 acre minimum lot size is required and is located on a lake
which, in combination with the house location, create a difficult situation in which
to find a conforming location for a replacement septic system.
There are floodplains on this property as well as a weir which was installed in the
mid 1980's by the Valley Branch Watershed District to control water levels for
Olson Lake and Lake Demontreville. The weir is identified on the applicant's site
plan along the northeastern property line from Hidden Bay Trail down to the lake.
In speaking with the septic system designer, he stated that while taking soil borings
he noted the closer he got to the weir the more rocks he found. The rocks may
have been a part of the weir installation and are not conducive to a septic system.
The location of the home, driveways, well, existing septic system, floodplain and
weir are all restrictions that severely limit the potential location sites at which the
septic tanks and drainfield could be built. In addition to the reasons cited above,
staff finds that this criteria is met.

Options:
The variance, granted, will not change the essential character of the
neighborhood.
A septic system is a standard requirement for homes throughout the city, many of
which have a mound system in their yard. The proposed septic system is a mound
system which will be visible from the adjacent neighbors as an elevated and grassy
rise. However, a raised system would have minimal, if any impact to neighbors
and would not effect the character of the neighborhood. Therefore, staff finds that
the essential character of the neighborhood would remain intact. Staff fmds this
criteria is also satisfied.
Based on the analysis of the review criteria in City Code both the Planning
Commission and City Staff would recommend anuroval of the septic variance
request for 8242 Hidden Bay Trail. City Staff believes this request meets the
requirements included in the new state statute language.
Staff has received two letters opposed to the variance. One suggested the septic
system be placed where the existing well is located. The letter suggests the existing
well for the applicant as well as the neighbor's well be moved to maintain the required
setbacks to waste management systems. The second letter expressed concern about
water contamination which has been and can be addressed by Pete Ganzel with
Washington County, should that be a concern.
Staff has had a conversation with another neighbor who had some concerns about
grading and drainage along the weir. Staff believes the proposed mound system
would not impact the drainage of the site in the location identified by the concerned
neighbor. The Valley Branch Watershed District (who owns and maintains the weir)
has contacted this neighbor will be working with him to correct grading concerns on
his own property.
Staff received one letter in support of the variance.
The Valley Branch Watershed District did not have any concerns with the application.
The applicants are seeking approval of a 50 foot variance to the 75 foot setback from
the Ordinary High Waterline of Lake Olson to allow the construction of a replacement
septic system at 8242 Hidden Bay Trail,

Re: 8242 Hidden Bay Trail Septic System Replacement — Variance Request
Dear Kelli:
Thank you for submitting information regarding the proposed septic system replacement at 8242
Hidden Bay Trail. On behalf of the Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD), I have reviewed the
information and this letter provides my comments.
Theproposed project involves constructing a new mound septic system adjacent to Lake Olson. Less
than one acre will be disturbed, no new impervious area is proposed, and no work is proposed below
the 100-year flood level of Lake Olson or within a wetland. Therefore, the project does not require a
VBWD permit.
The City should ensure that Washington County finds the proposed septic system acceptable and
there is adequate separation between the drain field and the water table. The drain field should be
above the 100-year flood level of Lake Olson (Elevation 931.5).
Temporary erosion control measures should be installed prior to any earthwork. The erosion control
measures should be inspected during construction and maintained as needed. Disturbed areas should
be vegetated as soon as possible after disturbance, and no later than 14 days after final grading
The property owners may wish to contact Rusty Schmidt, the Cost -Share Program Coordinator for
the VBWD, at 651-275-1136, extension 36. He could help the property owners design an unmowed
vegetative buffer adjacent to the lake. VBWD requires a minimum 35-foot wide buffer strip measured
perpendicular to the OHW extending 35 feet inland. A mowed access and shoreline is allowed, but must
not exceed 30% of the landowner's shoreline -width or 30 feet, whichever is less. Access paths shall not be
located where concentrated runoff will flow to the lake.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 952-832-2622.
Sincerely,
John P. Hanson, P.E.

Re: Variance for 8242 Hidden Bay Trail
tPR 1 9 ZOli
04/17/11
Dear Mr. Klatt:
I oppose giving a variance for a septic system that close to Lake Olson. I recommend
moving the septic system to the South side of the house where the land elevation is
adequate and is more than 75 feet from the High Waterline.
Here is the background information: This lot was platted in the early 1970's by the
Oace's as an afterthought and not a one acre lot that everybody else has. This lot is
only 0.7 acres and in the past, all parcels less than one full acre and were rejected as
sub -standard. Within the past 5 years this owner came to the city requesting a variance
so that they could expand the kitchen towards the lake. Again, this is expansion on a
sub -standard lot.
The main problem is the elevation of the drain field — the bottom of the drain field is
likely below the elevation of the High Waterline. As you may know, the horizontal
velocity of water in an aquifer is about one foot per day. If this draM field is already in
the aquifer, unfiltered sewage is already contaminating the aquifer. At a minimum, this
drain field should be tested for contaminating the aquifer.
I recall talking to the Oace's about locating this septic system that close to Lake
Olson. As best I remember, the constraint was that the adjoining lot (to the South and
West) already had their well near the "new lot". Wells and septic systems have to be
separated by 75 feet. A septic system on the South side of 8242 Hidden Bay probably
will be less than 75 feet from the well.
The "perfect solution" probably requires moving not one but two wells. In my
opinion, the best solution for preventing aquifer contamination is moving the septic
system to the South side of the house,
There might be enough room on the South side of the house to put a septic system 75
feet from the neighbors well. This may entail using the space under the neighbor's
driveway as part of the drain field.
An alternative solution might be a holding tank solution. This would be a better choice
than allowing aquifer contamination by the existing configuration.
Sincerely,
Gordon M. Grundeen

Carol Kreigler, Program Assistant (Parks)
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The Public Works Department is respectfully
requesting approval to contract the delineation and grading of the parking lot in Sunfish Lake
Park. As this action is implementing previous Council -approved direction to undertake these
improvements and is already budgeted (via a grant), this item is included on tonight's Consent

improvements to Sunfish Lake Park. Part of the improvements was to square off the parking lot
by re -grading the millings into a defined lot with proper drainage. Black dirt (100 yds.) will be
graded into the border/buffer areas. Public Works staff will seed, fertilize and water.
The delineated lot will then be bordered with 3 foot boulders to prevent motorized access to trails
(not included in this quote).
STAFF REPORT: Pursuant to City Policy, three contractors were solicited to provide quotes
for the delineation/drainage grading, black dirt and grading.

SUBMITTED BY:
THROUGH:
REVIEWED BY:
Kyle Klatt, Planning Director
Bruce Messelt, City Administra o
Kelli Matzek, City Planner
Ryan Stempski, City Engineer
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
authorize as part of tonight's Consent Agenda the execution of an easement encroachment
agreement. The City has received a request to install a retaining wall within a drainage and
utility easement area as part of the grading plan associated with a building permit for a new
home at 5769 Linden Avenue North. Approval of the requested agreement would allow the
property owners to construct the requested improvements within the City's drainage and utility
easements located on their private property.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City holds easements of different sizes and for
different purposes on many residential and commercial properties throughout the city. When a
resident is interested in putting a structure within an easement, the city has requested the property
owner provide a site plan showing where the improvement is proposed to be located, a detail of
what the improvement will look like and how it will function.
After that infoiivation is received, the City Engineer reviews the proposed improvement and the
use of the easement to determine if the proposed improvement will impede the functionality of
the easement, If the engineer determines that the improvement will not negatively impact the
functionality of the easement, an approved building permit showing the requested work and an
Easement Encroachment Agreement is needed before the work may commence.
Of Note: The City Council reviewed and approved easement encroachment agreements at its
April 20th, 2010 Regular Meeting. At that time, the City Council agreed to place future
applications on the Consent Agenda; unless unique circumstances occur in which case the
agreement is to be placed on the Regular Agenda.

May 17th, 2011 Consent Agenda Item # 9
STAFF REPORT: The Easement Encroachment Agreement submitted for Council
consideration is for a retaining wall and has been reviewed by planning and engineering staff.

easement. The document, among other things, indemnifies the city from responsibility if damage
occurs to the improvement or if it needs to be removed at some point in the future.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above background information and staff report, it is
recommended that the City Council approve the Easement Encroachment Agreement as part of
tonight' s Consent Agenda.
Alternatively, the City Council does have the authority to remove this item from the Consent
Agenda and further discuss, table, deliberate and, if appropriate, amend the recommended
motion prior to taking action. If done so, the appropriate action of the Council following such

Personnel -Related Matters
Mayor and City Council
Bruce A. Messelt, City Administrator
On behalf of 2010 Personnel Subcommittee
Dave Snyder, City Attorney
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: It is respectfully requested that the City Council
authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to contract for Professional Services to address
certain organizational- and personnel -related matters, as recommended by the Personnel
Subcommittee. Additional Council -directed advertizing of the RFP, direct solicitation of
identified firm(s) and checking of references has been completed, pursuant to City Council
direction of April 19th, 2011.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On March 1st, 2011, the City Council unanimously
authorized the advertisement and solicitation for Professional Services to address Organizational
and Personnel considerations relating to the Finance Department.
The 2010 Personnel and Budget/Finance Subcorrunittees have identified certain organizational -
and personnel -related matters that require addressing but which fall beyond the scope and
expertise of current City staff. Such outside Professional Services will also aid the City in
addressing certain organizational- and personnel -related. matters also raised by the 2010
Budget/Finance Subcommittee and the City Council, as a whole, regarding a mandated
assessment and review of the City's Finance Department and its related functions.
On April 19th, 2011, the City Council directed City staff to re-advertize the RFP and directly
solicit an identified firm. The RFP was posted on the League of MN Cities' website for an
additional 14 days and the identified firm was contacted. Three additional Proposals were
received and deemed complete.

STAFF REPORT: City staff prepared a Request for Proposals (attached), advertised such on
the City's and League of MN Cities' websites, and actively solicited all recommended firms for
consideration. Four firms responded with a qualified bid.
On May 10th, the Personnel Subcommittee reviewed and ranked (attached) the four complete

Administrator to contract for Professional Services to address certain organizational- and
personnel -related matters. The suggestion motion is:
"Move to authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to contract with
Springsted, Inc. for Professional Services at address certain organizational -

DISCUSSION
AGENDA ITEM: Commercial Water Rate Review
SUBMITTED BY: Tom Bouthilet, Finance Director
REVIEWED BY: Bruce Messelt, City Administrator
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: It is respectfully requested that the City Council
receive and discuss staff s evaluation of proposed alternatives to the City's water rate structure to
potentially address identified concerns with respect to large commercial water users. If
appropriate, the City Council may wish to consider the following:
"Move to direct City Staff to prepare a new ordinance, approving the amended
2011 fee schedule.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 19th, 2011, the City Council directed Staff to
"evaluate and prepare for Council review possible changes to the City's Water rate structure to
potentially address identified concerns with respect to large Commercials water users. The
current Water Conservation rate structure has been in place since December, 2009. Some large
commercials water users have reported significant increases in water bills, despite increased
conservation efforts.
STAFF REPORT: The City has identified that most of the large commercial water
establishments have separate irrigation meters in the southwest part of the City. Conversely,
there is only one large user that has an irrigation meter in the Old Village. The City is charged a
surcharge by the State for all water used in excess of the water consumed in January during the
summer months. During the summer of 2010, this accounted for 25.3 million gallons or 24% of
the total used in the entire year. The Southwest commercial establishment accounted for 6.6
million gallons during quarter ending August, 2010,
A majority of the surveyed northern metro cities use the same Increasing Block Rates structure
that this City adopted in December, 2009. One variation is the City of Roseville, which has a rate
for fewer than 30,000 and a separate summer/winter fee for gallons consumed over 30,000
gallons.
-- page 1 --
City Council Meeting
ConrciaI Water Rate Review
May 17th, 2011 Regular Agenda Item # 13
Some of the identified potential alternatives to Conservation Rates include the following:
Seasonal Rates: The rate per unit increases in the summer to encourage the efficient use of water
during peak demand periods caused by outdoor water uses. Seasonal rates can take the form of a
surcharge added to the normal rate or a separate fee schedule for winter and summer period.
Individualized Goal Rate (Water Budget Rate): A rate with tailored allocations developed for
each customer. The rate increase as the allocation is used or exceeded by the customer, The
allocation is generally based on winter or January use.
Excess Use Rates: Cost per unit increases greatly above established level, in order to trigger a
strong price signal that discourages excessive use. This rate is similar to an increasing block rate
but with much higher charges for the larger volume blocks.
Of the alternatives identified by either the survey or research, staff recommends Council
consideration of continuing with a modified existing rate structure, but perhaps capping the
gallons used to 150,000 gallons. All domestic water consumed above 150,000 gallons would
revert to the City's Bulk water rate of $3.26/one thousand gallons.
However, it is suggested that the domestic water customer would have to demonstrate little or no
irrigation use or install a separate irrigation meter (to continue to incentivize conservation related
to irrigation usage). The new Commercial structure would be as follows:
0 — 15,000 Gallons $3.11
15,001 — 30,000 Gallons $3.26
30,001 — 50,000 Gallons $3.77
50,001 — 80,000 Gallons $5.00
80,001 — 150,000 Gallons $6.63
150,000+ $3.26 (Domestic, non -irrigation usage only)
Under this scenario, nine customers are identified at potentially benefitting from a domestic cap
at 150,000 Gallons, The net revenue reduction would be $5,258.30 to the Utility for the utilized
September 2010 billing period, or an approximate 9.7% reduction in revenues for that period.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council receive and discuss staffs
evaluation of proposed alternatives to the City's water rate structure to potentially address
identified concerns with respect to large commercial water users, If appropriate, the City
Council may wish to consider the following, with or without specific changes or additional
considerations:
"Move to direct City Staff to prepare a new ordinance, approving the amended
2011 fee schedule [as agreed upon at tonight's meeting]."

Update Regarding Library Service Considerations
City Council (Follow-up from May 3rd Council Meeting)
Bruce A. Messelt, City Administrator
Dave Snyder, City Attorney
Pwl\
SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: This item has been scheduled at the request of the
City Council in order to keep the Council and Community abreast of efforts to retain and
enhance library services for the Lake Elmo community. No specific Council action is
reconunended at this time; however, additional Council direction would be welcomed.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On May 3rd, 2011, the Lake Elmo City Council
discussed the potential of closure by Washington County of the Rosalie E. Wahl Branch Library.
Staff was directed to continue discussions with the County regarding this concern and begin
development of options for the City Council to consider.
On May 9th, City staff met with County and Library representatives to discuss ongoing concerns
over likely cuts in State assistance and potential repercussions for the Library system and the
Rosalie E. Wahl Branch Library, in particular. The City has also met with members of the
Friends of the Rosalie E. Wahl Branch Library to solicit their thoughts and information regarding
library services needs and options.
Prior to this meeting, several previous meetings and informal discussions among City and
County officials have led to an understanding that long-term provision of County library services
in Lake Elmo remains highly vulnerable to both budgetary considerations and County -wide
consolidation of services to address identified efficiencies, economies of scale and customer
preferences.
On June 29th, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-031 establishing a Public
Library System, authorizing a Library Levy, and establishing a Public Library Board for the City
of Lake Elmo. However, this Resolution could be dissolved by action of the City Council, if
sufficient progress was made in discussions directed at "maintaining and improving existing
library services or transferring library services from the County to the City . ."

May 17th, 2011
Update from Washington County Re:
ce Considerations
egular Agenda Item # 14
On August 17th, 2010, the City Council approved Resolution 2010-041 "staying establishment
of a Public Library System, authorizing a Library Levy, and Establishing a Public Library Board
for the City of Lake Elmo," pending outcome of further discussions with the County.
STAFF REPORT: The City Administrator and City Attorney have formally met and/or spoken
with County officials on several different occasions, and have continued to research and discuss
applicable legal, operational and financial implications with various representatives from the
County, as well as state and regional library authorities.
Based upon the County's 2011 Library budget, efforts have been taken to structure the retention
of library services at minimum maintenance levels (generally current operations) at the four
smaller branch libraries for 2011. However, ongoing State budget discussions seem to imperil
even completion of 2011 at current operating levels (please note County White Paper).
In addition, the County has begun discussions with each of the four communities hosting these
branch libraries regarding long-term service options, alternative future service models (such as
Hugo's new Kiosk system) and the possibility of transition to a new service model (please see
the attached Marine on St. Croix proposal).
To clarify, it is staffs' understanding after additional research that City action would be required
this summer and in September (setting of levy) to fully assume library services by January lst,
2011 in order to collect any municipal library levy, payable 2012. Any local funding in 2011
would not be reimbursable via the 2010/Payable 2011 County levy. For information, here is the
2009, Payable 2010, Levy collected by Washington County for Library operations and debt
service.

Library debt $ 12,580,838
1.97180655% $ 248,070
0.23896744% $ 30,064
UPDATE. TIMELINE & LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Here is a brief update on additional
information gathered over the past two weeks:
The County has not developed plans to either close branch libraries or transition them to
"alternative service models" in light of seemingly inevitable state budget cuts. However,
neither has the County developed clear and approved contingencies to keep these branch
libraries in operation;
• The County is entertaining thoughts and suggestions from the four host communities of
boutique libraries as to what library services are most desired and how best to provide
these. The County has also considered the addition of library services in Hugo a success;

May 17th, 2011 Regular Agenda Item # 14
Key timelines to consider:
o July 1st - Notification to Washington County to allow them to create new taxing
districts (may not be a statutory deadline but rather a procedural deadline).
o September — City must establish levy amounts for preliminary budget.
o December — City must adopt final levy and budget.
From a legal perspective, the following information is being provided from the City
Attorney:
1. The City can establish and maintain public library service by passing an ordinance
or resolution or by vote.
2. The City has to appoint a board of 5, 7 or 9 members to serve on a library board.
The appointments shall be made before the first meeting of the library board after
the end of the fiscal year. The board has some basic organizational duties which it
then must attend to.
3. A City levy would displace the County levy for library purposes, except for that
portion that was needed to service debt acquired while the City was part of the
county library system. Under Minn. Stat. 134.07 a city may levy a tax on taxable
property for libraries except counties may not tax property which is already taxed
for public library service.
4. The library would likely be subject to levy limits (if its not part of the regional
system). However, the City can adjust the general levy limits if it is shown that a
transfer of services with Washington County has occurred by June 30 of the levy
year. Shifts in services and functional responsibilities that are effective after June
30th of a levy year are not included in the calculation of the levy limit until the
subsequent year.
5. There is little statutory guidance about what would have to be transferred before
June 30 but the Department of Revenue can make a "fair and equitable"
adjustment of the levy lirnits/amounts for the two government units, based on the
amount of the respective services offered.
• One Council Member has submitted a proposed outline of information (attached) in
development of a business plan, should the City Council wish to direct staff to proceed
with development of a plan for undertaking the provision of Library services, either
immediately — should the County act to close the Library unilaterally — or following some
pre -determined transition period,
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council review the actions and
decisions undertaken and made, to date, and discuss options for future Council
consideration. Appropriate staff direction is also recommended, should the City Council
wish to continue to proceed with a specific direction or action. At this time, the three most
likely scenarios worthy of specific consideration are as follows:

Update from Washington County Re: Lil Service Considerations
Regular Agenda Item # 14
1 Remain a part of the Washington County Library System under one of the following
likely future models:
a. Retention of a Branch Library with limited services and hours (at best status
quo);
b. Augmentation or replacement of the current County -provided Branch Library
services with City resources;
c. Transition with the County to an "Alternative Service Model" acceptable to
both parties, hopefully without interruption of essential library services in the
interim.
2. Execute municipal Library authority and establish a timeline and business plan for
initiating provision of library services, with a transition plan and timeline acceptable
to both the City and County and, hopefully, without interruption of essential library
services in the interim:
a. Negotiate with the County for affiliate status, associate status or for
contracted library services which the City is not currently in a position to
easily provide;
b, Develop necessary library services absent any partnership or relationship with
Washington County, either independently, in affiliation with another
provider, or perhaps with contracted private/non-profit library services.
3 Prepare a contingency plan for provision of interim library services, should
Washington County elect to cease Branch services without any transition plan or
alternative service model in place.

The mission of the Washington County Ubrary hN[U is to enrich both the individual and the community
byassisting people |ntheir search for information, ideas, education and recreation.
As set forth in the Library's strategic framework, "2010 and Beyond," the vision of WCL is to provide
leadership topreserve the best ofthe past and toprovide access for all while seeking new ways to
promote and maintain library services in Washington County.
Four strategic priorities or goals have been selected by the WCL Board that will further the Library's
mission inatime offiscal and social change. They are: 1\engage young readers; 2)provide entry tothe
online world; 3) promote informed, knowledgeable users; and 4) inspire curiosity.
*********~
Like all County departments, WCL finds itself in a difficult budget situation which results largely from the
state budget shortfall and its impact oncounty services, Like most other public libraries, both local and
national, WCL knows that change is in the air and in the budget. This sit uation leads to a re-examination
ofsome ofbasic assumptions about what libraries are and what they do, From community surveys, we
know that Washington County residents realize how important library services are to- them.

inevitable. Fortunately, it does not mean that library service will cease or that access to the collection
needs tobelimited. |tdoes mean that VVCLmust take advantage ofthe tools that technology and
electronic resources have provided to it. It does mean that WCL has fewer staff and -less funding
available to provide traditional services at its current nine branch library -locations.
To this last point here are some facts:

the County Board was constructed to include an increase in the County Program Aid from the State of
Minnesota. This state property tax aid is authorized in current statute at certain amount; however, it
is very unlikely the County will receive the entire amount certified.given the experience of the last few
years. If the 2010 State budget reductions in County Program Aid are made permanent or simply
extended for another year, the County will be forced to eliminate some of the library services funded by
this aid program and possibly more depending an the extent of the total cut in state aid to the county.
Based on current information about the state's budget situation, the County and WCL are starting to
plan for this reduction in2O1l; if\tdoesn't happen, sumuch the better but the Library must have aplan

One final thought: In planning for the future oflibrary services in Washington [ounty, there are other
considerations of a more long term nature that will impact the future of libraries in Washington County
and the nation other than the current financial situation, VVC[slong-range facilities plan looks out to

technology within the greater society will impact how people read, how they learn and what types of
virtual communities they will develop, All ofthese changes will also impact the public library world.
Unfortunately one can only guess at the impacts right now; so WCL needs -to develop a flexible model or
models of service that encompass not, only the traditional library but also new ways to meet demand for
service, especially from the younger generations,

For a variety of reasons, there is a need to find new service models that can expand or maintain library
services that are in most demand while reducing the expense invoived in staffing locations that have a

population grows dense enough to require a new library building; in others the models may simply

Library and a private or non-profit enterprise.
\naddition tothe entire library collection, the County Library could provide:
w delivery services atleast once per week
• programs, such as summer reading programs and author presentations, on an occasional basis
• pubUc'accesscomputers with Internet connections
• electronic access to the Library's collection
• materials' return services.
The partner could provide:

telephones and other telecommunications services needed, such as a fiber or T1 connection
• technical support for the computemifneeded
• staffing which could include volunteers
• determine hours ofavailability

Recommendation to the Marine Council for Retaining a Library
The Committee is suggesting a response be developed by the City and its
residents, in the event library services are reduced or eliminated at the Marine
Branch Library by the County. We are suggesting a short term (Phase 1), medium
term and long term plan (Phases 2 and 3) be identified. By considering a long
term solution in phases, local library supporters will be able to determine how
well the initial phase of a partnership with the City, the County and volunteers is
working, plus further evolution of library use and services, in general, will have
proceeded, and both library supporters and the County will be better able to
understand what library services will be needed in the future. Our
recommendation reflects the Village's interest in supporting and maintaining a
vital Village Center, as outlined in the Marine Comprehensive Plan, and is in
keeping with the current direction of the Village Center Task Force.
Overview: The Committee is proposing a partnership between the County, the
City of Marine on St. Croix and local volunteers who support the continuation of
library services in the area.
The Community Library will be funded partially through a 'Friends of the
Library' type charitable organization, which will be formed to oversee the
operation of the Community Library and will raise and disperse funds in
support of the Community Library. In addition to the charitable
organization support, the Committee is suggesting the County continue to
use of the Jordan Bequest to support Marine arealibrary services, with a
proposed 4 % per year of the total asset value of the bequest directed
toward annual operation.
The City will initially provide space, cleaning of that space,
telecommunication lines, and City part-time employees who will be hired to
manage the Community Library and coordinate volunteer help (funding for
this position will come partially through the Friends of the Library
donations). The primary reason for the hiring of City staff is to satisfy the
County requirements for data privacy, although it is recognized paid
employees will help ensure success of the Community Library through
oversight/coordination of volunteers.
• The County will provide some book/media inventory, which will be shelved
at the community library and rotated on a regular basis, and will
deliver/pick-up books ordered by patrons from other libraries, Computers,
Marine Library Committee Recommendation to Marine City Council
Background
The Marine Library Committee (the Committee) has been asked to formulate
recommendations*regarding possible changes to library services now available at
the Marine Branch Library of the Washington County library system. The
Committee sees an important role for a library within the extended community of
Marine on St. Croix/Scandia/May Township. It is recognized that use of library
services is changing, including the ability for patrons to use the internet to access
the County catalog and order books, the ability to download ebooks from the
County or commercial sites, access to free books on various web sites. These
recommendations are made -with the understanding that the need to be flexible
and respond to changing interests must be a part of any plan for retaining library
services in Marince'on St. Croix.
We appreciate Washington County including us in their strategic process
reviewing the impact of potential budget reductions. While we recognize the
County is mandated to provide library services to all county residents and their
direction has been to place large libraries at locations accessible to many, we still
believe there is value to small libraries located within walking distance or short
vehicle rides from residents. Marine, being further away than most communities
from the larger county libraries, depends even more on its local library. We
recognize the County is facing increasing budget pressure, and want to work with
the County to help formulate a model to maintain library services.
The Committee is comprised of_ over thirty residents from May Township, Scandia
and Marine who are interested in helping ensure the continuation of library
services in the Marine area. We have identified key benefits provided to the
Marine/May/Scandia area by a branch library, have gathered information on and
toured a variety of other small libraries, have met with County personnel to
understand the County requirements for library services and to discuss
anticipated budget changes. We have initiated a meeting with Marine area
residents and Pat Conley, Washington County Library Director and Jim Schug,
County Administrator, to discuss library services in Marine. The recommendation
which follows incorporates the results of these activities.
shelving/tables and other depreciated assets currently in the Marine
Branch Library, and hardware for self -check out/check-in will remain at the
current library site in Marine. The County will also continue to provide
access to MELSA services,
We are suggesting the County create a new role;that of a 'Library
Extension Agent' who will visit the Community Library periodically to
enhance the partnership between the City and the County Library system,
providing volunteer training (library catalog, checking books/media in and
out of system, shelving procedures, etc.), information on new books, and
outreach activities (book clubs, chiidren's activities, etc).
Volunteers will help staff the Community Library, both to ensure safe
working conditions for a City employee (by being present during those
hours when the library is open but City offices are not), and to help with the
operation (shelving, book/media sorting, etc) of the Community Library.
Additional details of the Phase 1 concept:
A Friends of the Marine Library (FOML) will be formed to oversee the operation of
the Community Library, including some of the funding. This 501c3 organization
will raise funds to create an endowment, and if necessary will raise annual
operating support, and will commit to directing funding to the City for the hiring
of a City part time employee to manage/coordinate the Community Library. Once
this recommendation is adopted by the City of Marine, the formation of the FOML
will proceed (by laws created, Board members identified, etc.) so that the
organization is ready to initiate Phase 1, when required.
The City will commit to allowing the Community Library to remain in some or all
of the space currently housing the Marine Branch Library in the Village Hall, at
least during Phase 1 of this recommendation. The City will provide
telecommunication service to the Community Library space on an annual basis.
The City will provide a part time City employee(s) to coordinate the Community
Library operation, including helping operate the self -check terminal, signing up
new county library patrons, coordinate funding needs with FOML, coordinate the
volunteer scheduling, etc. It should be noted that a City employee(s) is primarily
being proposed in order to satisfy the County requirements for library data
privacy. If the County suggests that another solution to this issue is possible,
such as signed confidentiality waivers by volunteers, the need for a City
employee(s) will be reduced. However, success of the Community Library
concept will be enhanced with paid staff, especially since in a small community
such as Marine on St. Croix volunteers are often over -committed and
coordination of volunteers will help ensure smooth operation.
Volunteers from May, Scandia and Marine will both serve as active members and
Trustees of the FOML. They will provide staffing hours and operational oversight
to the Community Library, as well as provide fund-raising ideas and manpower,
and critical financial support.
A partnership between a library sciences academic program, such as the one
offered by St. Catherine University in St. Paul, will be investigated by the FOML.
The hope is that an internship program might be developed to both help the
college program and its students, and the Community Library.
Proposed Operation
It is proposed the Community Library will be open for 20 hours a week, which is
same as the current number of branch library operating hours. However, the
schedule will include hours on Saturday and evenings, to help encourage use by
families and patrons who work outside of the area. It is believed that this re-
configuration of operating hours will meet the needs of the community regarding
prompt picking -up of their book/media requests.
Budget
The estimated expenses for the annual operation of the Community Library is as
follows:
Compensation
Supplies/Misc.
Total Expenses
$18,200
$ 800
$19,000
*These estimated expenses do not include any new book/media purchases, it is
assumed those will continue to be provided by the County Library.
The estimated Sources of Funding for the annual operation of the Community
Library are as follows:
I Jordan Bequest (4% withdrawal rate)
Friends of Library Annual Contribution
Washington County Support
Total Funding
$12,000
$ 4,000
$ 3,000
$19,000
Savings to the County
We recognize the County anticipates needing to cut or eliminate some library
services, and their strategic direction has been to direct funding to larger libraries
within the County. While Committee members may question the strategic
direction, seeing a value in the continuance of local library services, we recognize
the difficult position the County is facing. The recommended partnership
between the County, the City and volunteers will allow the County to direct most
of the staffing dollars and operational budget previously directed to the Marine
Branch Library, toward other purposes. During the most recent tax year, the City
of Marine residents contributed about $32,000 in tax levy toward County library
services, with the contribution of residents who live in May Township and Scandia
but who are considered in the Marine Branch Library service area contributing
more, perhaps for a total contribution of between $100,000 - $150,000 (it is
difficult to identify the actual total as the figure is dependent upon property
values and a more careful analysis would be very labor intensive). The County has
estimated the direct costs required to operate the Marine Branch Library are
around $100,000 ( 'overhead' expenses not included). Our recommendation, if
accepted, would reduce the direct contribution from the County to only on -going
inventory support (used throughout the County library system by all patrons),
transportation costs associated with dlivery/pick-up of books both ordered
through the catalog and for shelving purposes, and a Library Extension Agent
(estimated 6 hours including transportation, bi-weekly).
Jordan Bequest
Mrs. Jordan's generous gift to Washington County, to be used for the benefit of
the Marine Library, has been prudently managed by the County. We are
recommending the bequest be used to support the operation of the Community
Library during Phase 1, as we believe this use will be for a public good and would
be in keeping with Mrs. Jordan's intent. The idea of using the bequest to
purchase and install a kiosk delivery system has been previously discussed, and
could be pursued. However, this idea is not currently a part of the Committee's
recommendation, as it was felt the estimated. $50,000 investment might be better
used to support the operation of the Community Library as outlined. We would
suggest the kiosk system be further tested at the Hugo location and the results of
this testing, along with a review of the success of the Community Library concept
in Marine, once implemented, will help the County and the FOML determine if
the kiosk approach is suitable for the Marine area in the future.
Phase 2
As part of this recommendation, the City will allow the current Branch Library
space to be used for the Community Library. The Restoration Society has retained
an engineering firm to complete a review of the Village Hall and make
recommendations regardingfuture maintenance and operation of the Hall. The
City has also recognized the need to improve storage of City property, including
historic City records, which are currently housed in the basement of the Village
Hall, and has indicated some desire to return to holding meetings, including the
monthly Council meeting, in the Council Chambers. When the information from
the structural review is available, it is anticipated the City and the Restoration
Society will develop a maintenance and use plan for the next twenty years of
Village Hall operation. If part of that plan requires a different use of the library
space, the FOML would work to identify another location for a Community
Library. At that time, the investment in a kiosk delivery system may be pursued.
Phase 3
The Committee has identified other possible models for a Community Library in
Marine, and these discussions have included partnerships between a Community
Library and other entities such as the Stone House Museum, the Minnesota
Historical Society, commercial businesses, the Community Education department
of Stillwater Schools, and others. It appears the condition of the Stone House
Museum and its exhibits is of special concern. Once the operation of a
Community Library has been established, the FOML may work with other
community organizations to investigate other options for a future co -location of
the Community Library.
rwb 3/7/11
Anril 28th, 2011: Communication with Washin2ton County Regarding Library Services
As explained in our prior meetings, the county's 2011 library budget does call for the
continuation of all the existing library locations in the county. However, the 2011 library budget
as authorized by the County Board was constructed to include the state property tax aid that is
authorized in current statute at a certain amount; however, it is very unlikely the County will
receive the entire amount certified given the experience of the last few years. If the 2010 State
budget reductions in County Program Aid are made permanent or simply extended for another
year, the county will be forced to eliminate some of the library services funded by this aid
program and possibly more library services depending on the extent of the total cut in state aid to
the county. As a result, the county has begun discussions with communities in which the smaller
branch libraries are located.
As you may have read in recent newspapers, elements of a mutual agreement are being discussed
in the cities of Marine and Newport. So, we thought it might be helpful to outline these elements
for your consideration.
The elements of an agreement with the Marine Library Association are that Marine remains part
of the county levy for library services and the county will provide certain library services at a
location determined and managed by the city estimated at this time to be approximately 20 hours
per week.
Marine: pays for rent or provides space rent free, provides maintenance services for
space, provides location for an exterior access kiosk and book return, 2 part time city
staff to provide oversight of city volunteers; open on a schedule to be determined by the
city with at least one paid city staff at all times the location is open which is
supplemented by volunteers recruited and supervised by the city, and telecommunication
access.
The county: draws down Jordan trust over time and provides kiosk and book return,
computers, financial oversight of Jordan trust, a small collection, and rotating or periodic
programming.
Both: Effective 8/1/2011 with an evaluation at the end of 12/2012.
The elements of an agreement with the City of Newport are not are far along as with Marine.
Even though the City of Lake Elmo has voted to create their own library in 2011, the county's
current library budget does include funding to keep the library open throughout 2011. Again,
this budget is predicated upon the county receiving the full state allocation of County Program
Aid.
If the City of Lake Elmo would like to consider something different than assumption of library
services in 2011, the Marine elements could be the foundation for an agreement. Such
a proposal would have a location in the City of Lake Elmo open on a schedule determined by the
city to which the county library system provides certain services and the city remains in the
county library levy tax.
The City of Lake Elmo: pays for rent or provides space rent free, provides maintenance
services for space, provides location for exterior access kiosk and book return for a xxx
number of years, city staff covering a schedule to be determined by the city with at least
one paid city staff on duty at all times the location is open, which is supplemented by
volunteers recruited and supervised by the city, and provide telecommunication access.
The county: continues library service to all Lake Elmo residents and provides kiosk and
book return, delivery and pick up of book orders through on-line catalog, computers, a
small collection, and rotating or periodic programming
Both: an evaluation at the end of a period to be determined but after at least one year of
operation of the new model,
I hope that this information will allow the City of Lake Elmo to provide more specific direction
at their Tuesday meeting for our future discussions. Should our team set another meeting as a
follow up to next Tuesday's City Council discussion?

o The Mission Statement -- It should be as direct and focused as possible, a clear
picture of what our library is all about. Do we plan to run in the black? Red? Do
we advertise? Costs? Is it a community center?
o Date the library begins and any expectations for expansion?
o Number of employees, their compensation (using comparables), who
manages them, who hires them, who fires them, Hours of operation. Benefits?
Include all payroll costs,
o Estimate of existing city staffs increased workload, including Administrator and
Attorney (fielding complaints, suggestions, and effects of mixing the activities of
existing government with this new operation.)
o If volunteers are proposed, anecdotal evidence (other cities history with this? I am
sure there is some statistical evidence of the nature of volunteers) that these
volunteers will be available long term or otherwise. My guess is that their will be
plenty of "volunteers" to get this going, but I fear they will evaporate over time
and force the city to expend more funds.
o Location of the business and costs. In Village I presume. Rent? Utilities? Ongoing
maintenance costs and long term costs?
o Description of site, size, furniture desk tops, workstation? Is this a community
center as well?
o Collection costs? Operation of same.
o Literature offered and any other products offered (coffee shop? marry with other
for profit possibilities? I think if we do go this way, this might be a way to do it
but I am not sure of any data privacy issues?) Additionally, as we are in
competition with other libraries, how do we compare, why do they come to us
versus others? What does our competition have? Child care, internet access,
adjacent facilities? Again, why do our customers come here? How do we
compare with our competition? Distance from potential users, proximity to other
services, aesthetics, and additional available services,
o If "partnerships" are suggested with the County/MLSA and others, we would need
agreed upon specifics, not "blue sky" notions,
o Outline success parameters: 1 year / 3 years / 5 years. Are we successful if we
only maintain use? If we increase? Collections in comparison to county? If we
have to expend money in excess of $248k is that success? I am afraid of a slow
and progressive bleed, can we agree on specifics so if parameters are not met we
can pull the plug?
o As it stands now, the costs for a "lo range from $13 to $4.98. We are at about
$10. Should lowering this cost be our goal?
o The additional cost to the city of opting out ($20 a family?), do we stay in the
system at all costs? Does the city pay for all? If so why?

DISCUSSION
AGENDA ITEM: Update Regarding Library Service Considerations
SUBMITTED BY: City Council (Follow-up from May 3rd Council Meeting)
THROUGH: Bruce A. Messelt, City Administrator Op
REVIEWED BY: Dave Snyder, City Attorney
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: This item has been scheduled at the request of the
City Council in order to keep the Council and Community abreast of efforts to retain and
enhance library services for the Lake Elmo community. No specific Council action is
recommended at this time; however, additional Council direction would be welcomed.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On May 3rd, 2011, the Lake Elmo City Council
discussed the potential of closure by Washington County of the Rosalie E. Wahl Branch Library.
Staff was directed to continue discussions with the County regarding this concern and begin
development of options for the City Council to consider.
On May 9th, City staff met with County and Library representatives to discuss ongoing concerns
over likely cuts in State assistance and potential repercussions for the Library system and the
Rosalie E. Wahl Branch Library, in particular. The City has also met with members of the
Friends of the Rosalie E. Wahl Branch Library to solicit their thoughts and information regarding
library services needs and options.
Prior to this meeting, several previous meetings and informal discussions among City and
County officials have led to an understanding that long-term provision of County library services
in Lake Elmo remains highly vulnerable to both budgetary considerations and County -wide
consolidation of services to address identified efficiencies, economies of scale and customer
preferences.
On June 29th, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2010-031 establishing a Public
Library System, authorizing a Library Levy, and establishing a Public Library Board for the City
of Lake Elmo. However, this Resolution could be dissolved by action of the City Council, if
sufficient progress was made in discussions directed at "maintaining and improving existing
library services or transferring library services from the County to the City . . ."

City Council Meeting
May 17th, 2011
Lake Elmo Avenue Infrastructure Project 1-94 to 30th Street
Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding a Contract
Regular Agenda Item II 15
directed to complete the necessary plans and specifications, work with the impacted property
owners, and negotiate the necessary easements.
The base bid design includes a trunk sanitary sewer forcemain along the entire project corridor,
connecting the proposed Village Area Lift Station to the MCES Meter Station (located near
Hudson Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue). The project plans have been designed with the
Village Area Lift Station located near Lisbon Avenue and 30th Street on a site previously
presented to the Council as Site No. 3, located outside of and to the east of Reid Park. This trunk
infrastructure project is the first step to provide Municipal Sewer Service for the Village Area.
Once completed Municipal Sewer Service can be made available to the new Village
development with the construction of the Village Parkway Trunk Sewer and/or to the Old
Village with the construction of the Lake Elmo Avenue Trunk Gravity Sewer north to TH 5.
The alternate bid design is similar to the base bid design, but would construct trunk gravity sewer
in lieu of forcemain near the south end of Cimarron to the MCES Meter Station. This trunk
sewer plan configuration would eliminate redundant forcemain pipe infrastructure south of 10th
Street and would result in lower overall Trunk Sewer Infrastructure System costs. The alignment
of the gravity sewer follows the most cost-effective route south of 10th Street. Once this project
is completed, Municipal Sewer Service would also be available in the southeast potion of Lake
Elmo, in the areas immediately adjacent to the proposed gravity alignment.
This item has been continued from the May 3rd City Council meeting and was also presented at
the May IOth Workshop,
STAFF REPORT: Bids were received on April 19, 2011. The contract documents allow the
City to retain these bids together with their Bid security for a period of 60 days (June 19, 2011),
before the City must either award the project or reject all bids. If the project is awarded at the
May 3rd City Council Meeting, construction work would begin June 2011, The Contract
substantial completion deadline is November 15, 2011 and the Contract final completion
deadline is December 15, 2011.
The Engineer's preliminary estimate of total project cost for the Base Bid design was $3.8
million and the Post Bid estimated total project cost is now S3.65 million, after receiving
contractor bids,
For the Alternate Bid design, the Engineer's preliminary estimate of total project cost was $5.2
million and the Post Bid estimated total project cost is now S4.85 million, after receiving
contractor bids. These costs do not include easement acquisition costs for the easements south of
10th street, should any compensation be required for these easements,
In order to award a contract for the Alternate Bid, it is recommended that the City receive
assurance that the permanent and temporary utility easements can be successfully acquired in a
timely manner such that contractor delays are not incurred. Pen-nanent and temporary utility
easements are required from nine separate parcels under the ownership of six property owners.

Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding a Contract
Regular Agenda Item # 15
Easement agreements have been prepared and sent to each of these property owners requesting
the dedication of the easements at no cost to the City. The status of each of these easements will
be reported to the Council at the meeting in the Staff report.
RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the above background information and staff report, it is
recommended that the City Council consider approving a Resolution Accepting Bids and
Awarding the Contract for the Lake Elmo Avenue Infrastructure Project, 1-94 to 30th Street for
either the Base Bid, or the Alternate Bid, or the Council may consider rejecting all bids, or
tabling action on this item until a future Council meeting no later than June 19, 2011, The
Council is reminded that it is advisable by Staff to consider delaying the award of the project if
the Council is considering award for the Alternate Bid, and the pernianent and temporary
easements have not yet been secured. Should the Council choose to award a contract, the
suggested motion is as follows:
"Move to approve Resolution No. 2011-022, Accepting Bids and Awarding the
Contract for the Lake Elmo Avenue Infrastructure Project, 1-94 to 30th Street, to
Louis Construction Company for the Base Bid in the amount of $2,710,546.001."
