8. INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS
A. State Senator John Marty and State Representative Ma1y Jo McGuire.
Senator Marty and Representative McGuire discussed with the City Council
legislative issues that are of concern to the City including: property tax reform,
tax increment financing reform, local government sales tax repeal, county
turnbacks, MSA funding, unfunded mandates, and the current PERA shortfall.
They also discussed other bills that they have authored or co-authored this current
session.
A break was taken at 8:40 p.m. The meeting resumed at 8:50 p.m.
B. Highway 280 Reconstruction Update -Minnesota Department of
Transportation. Nancy Daubenberger, Highway 280 Project Manager; Frank
Pafko, MNDOT Area Manager; and Pete Wasco, Environmental Specialist,
updated the City Council on the current status of the Highway 280 reconstruction
project.
Federal funds were obtained in 2000 to reconstruct the portion of #280 between
Larpenteur Avenue and Highway 36/35W. The current plan is to undertake this
work in 2003 or 2004. The rest of the #280 reconstruction work, including the
Como and Larpenteur interchanges, is not specifically scheduled and would not
begin until at least 2010. The MNDOT representatives discussed the layout of the
portion of the highway that was planned for 2003-2004 reconstruction. The
removal of the stoplights at Broadway and County Road B2, along with the
construction of an interchange at Broadway, was discussed.
The City Council expressed disappointment with the plan to only complete only a
portion of #280 in Lauderdale. There would be a number of safety and logistical
problems that would be a part of removing stoplights, not reconstructing the
Larpenteur interchange, and not addressing the single lane ramp on to Highway
36. They also expressed concern for the disruption to any city properties as it
relates to the construction of the Broadway interchange.
MNDOT representatives appreciated the feedback and would return to the City
Council at a later date when further planning and design has been completed.

HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL
JAMES BOWNIK, ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST
DNR OUTDOOR RECREATION GRANT PUBLIC HEARING
AND RESOLUTION NO. 032701A
BACKGROUND
The City of Lauderdale received an Outdoor Recreation Grant from the Department of
Natural Resources in 1998 for trash receptacles, grills, a drinking fountain, a fire pit,
and construction of a sand volleyball court. Since the 1998 grant is now complete, the
City has the opportunity to apply for another DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant. A public
hearing and resolution are required as part of the application process.
The tennis courts have fallen into disrepair and need to be totally reconstructed. The
Capital Improvements Plan estimated that the tennis courts would be attended to in
2007, but there may be a need to attend to them before that time. Also, budgeting for
the replacement of the courts was expedited in 1998 in order to speed up the process.
The Council included paving the hockey rink area for in-line skaters as a goal for 2001.
An in-line skating rink would add another recreational facility to the park. It would also
help preserve the surface of the tennis courts by giving skaters and skateboarders a
specific area for them to use -instead of skating on the tennis courts.
The Outdoor Recreation Grant Program is a 50/50 matching grant. The application
deadline is March 31, 2001. The City would be notified this summer whether it was
awarded a grant for this funding cycle. I have attached an estimated cost breakdown
for your review. I will also present an informational handout at the meeting, which will
provide further details to those present at the public hearing.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to adopt Resolution 032701A authorizing staff to apply to the DNR Outdoor
Grant Program for the reconstruction of the tennis courts, and an in-line skating rink.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Dave Hinrichs
Council Meeting Date: March 27, 2001
Agenda Item: Approval of Quotations for Purchasing a Skid Loader
Background:
The city has received three quotes for the purchase of a skid loader. The quotes are from
three different manufacturers; Bobcat, John Deere, and CAT. All three types of skid
loaders are from the state bid. The dealers provided quotes and are the only authorized
dealers in our area for state bid purchases.
For comparison purposes, the skid loader retailers were asked to quote similar size
machines and attachments.
The quotes are as follows:
* Scharber & Sons-John Deere
* Bobcat, Inc. -Bobcat
* Ziegler-Cat
$20,693.82
$21,229.71
$25,537.86
1.) There is $25,000 budgeted for the purchase.
2.) The John Deere skid loader comes to a total of $20,693.82
3.) The snow blower attachment is an extra amenity that we do not feel is necessary
at this point.
The John Deere is the lowest quote. Joe and I looked at the mechanics and compared the
specs. The John Deere is our first choice.
My recommendation is to purchase the John Deere skid loader and accessories, minus the
snow blower. Ordering the skid loader from John Deere would take approximately one
month for delivery.

Set Dates for the 2001 Spring Clean-Up
Each spring all properties in Lauderdale are inspected pursuant to Section 2-4-3 of
Lauderdale City Code. The Code mandates that all properties in the city be inspected
annually for violations that relate to public health and safety.
The part of the Code that the City Council must determine annually deals with the
statement "that all premises within the City shall be cleaned up by such date as may be
established by the City Council". Last year, the Council set May 1-5 as Clean-up week
and May 8-12 as Inspection week.
Last year, the City witnessed an early spring that is obviously not occurring this year.
Under this scenario, staff is recommending that Spring Clean".'Up occur later in 2001 than
it did in 2000.
Council Action Requested:
Motion to set May 15-18 as Clean-Up Week and May 22-25 as Inspection Week.

Warming House Repair Discussion
A city goal for 2001 was to undertake some improvements in the warming house that
includes electrical upgrades, bath remodeling, and cosmetic improvements such as
painting.
Public Works staff will be in attendance at the meeting to discuss these plans for the
warming house, and to discuss the repairs needed to the facility since the rink was closed.

City Council Memorandum
To:
From:
Mayor and City Council
Rick Getschow
Council Meeting Date: March 27, 2001
Agenda Item: Telecommunications Ordinance-Tower/Antenna Leases
Background:
As I have stated in two recent Friday reports, the City has been approached by a wireless
communications firm inquiring into a lease for placing an antenna on the current tower
for the ballfield lights in the park. Previously, the Council discussed and approved an
agreement with Metricom for use of the city right-of-way for wireless communication
facilities. This issue is different because it potentially involves the leasing of city-owned
property.
There are a few issues that I would like to address with the City Council at the meeting
that include:
1. A brief review and discussion of the current ordinance, especially Section
10-15-5: "Antenna Towers on City-Owned Property"
2. Discuss two major zoning issues related to telecommunications facilities
on city-owned property
1. Antennas and towers are not zoned for at all in the C-1 District
(Community Park) in the Zoning Ordinance. But there are city
legislated details allowing these uses in the Telecommunications
Ordinance
11. Conditional uses are required for antennas and towers in the other
districts where they have uses designated in the Zoning Ordinance
3. Discuss the possibility of negotiating a lease with a wireless provider.
I have included some supplemental information in the packet as background for
discussion. It is important to remember that there is not yet a formal request before the
City, so this is only preliminary discussion for staff to gauge the Council's early . . 1mpress1ons.

10-15-5: ANTENNA TOWERS ON CITY-OWNED PROPERTY:
A. Introduction: The City has received requests from personal wireless
services to place antennas and towers on City-owned property. The
City Council has determined that a uniform policy for reviewing these
requests is desirable.
B. Priority Of Users: Priority for the use of City-owned land for antennas
and towers will be given to the following entities in descending order:
1. City of Lauderdale;
2. Public safety agencies, including law enforcement, fire, and
ambulance services, which are and/or are not part of the City and
private entities with and/or without a public safety agreement with
the City;
3. Other governmental agencies, for uses which are not related to
public safety; and
4. Entities providing licensed personal wireless services including
cellular, personal communication services (PCS), specialized
mobilized radio (SMR), enhanced specialized mobilized radio
(ESMA), paging, and similar services that are marketed to the
general public.
C. Minimum Requirements: The placement of antennas or towers on
City-owned property must comply with the following requirements:
1. The antennas or towers will not interfere with the purpose for
which the City-owned property is intended;
2. The applicant is willing to obtain adequate liability insurance and
commit to a lease agreement which includes equitable compensation
for the use of public land and other necessary provisions and
safeguards. The fees shall be established by the City Council after
considering comparable rates in other cities, potential expenses,
risks to the City, and other appropriate factors;
3. The applicant will submit a letter of credit, performance bond, or
other security acceptable to the City to cover the costs of the
antenna or tower's removal;
4. The antennas or towers will not interfere with other users who
have a higher priority as discussed in subsection B of this Section;

5. Upon reasonable notice, the antennas or towers may be required
to be removed at the user's expense;
6. The applicant must reimburse the City for any costs which it
incurs because of the presence of the applicant's antennas or
towers; and
7. The user must obtain all necessary land use approvals.
D. Special Requirements: The use of certain City-owned property, such
as the Community Park, for antennas or towers brings with it special
concerns due to the unique nature of these sites. The placement of
antennas or towers on these special City-owned sites will be allowed
only when the following additional requirements are met:
1. Community Park And Lauderdale Nature Area: The presence of
certain antennas or towers represents a potential conflict with the
purpose of the City-owned park and nature area. In no case shall
towers be allowed in land designated as the Lauderdale Nature
Area. Antennas or towers will be considered only in the Community
Park after the approval of the City Council.
E. • Application Process: All applicants who wish to locate an antenna or
tower on City-owned property must submit to the City Zoning
Administrator a completed application and detailed plan that
complies with the submittal requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
along with other pertinent information requested by the City.
F. Termination: The City Council may terminate any lease if it
determines that any one of the following conditions exists:
997
1. A potential user with a higher priority cannot find another
adequate location and the potential use would be incompatible with
the existing use;
2. A user's frequency broadcast unreasonably interferes with other
users of a higher priority, regardless of whether or not this
interference was adequately predicted in the technical analysis; or
3. A user violates any of the standards in this policy or the conditions
attached to the City's permission.
Before taking action, the City will provide notice to the user of the
intended termination and the reasons for it, and provide an
opportunity for the user to address the City Council regarding the

antennas are located on City property serving a General Fund
operating program (such as City Hall and the City Garage), and
