ADJOURNMENT LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 1 of 3 May 27, 2014 Mayor Dains called the City Council meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Councilors present: Mary Gaasch, Roxanne Grove, Denise Hawkinson, Lara Mac Lean, and Mayor Jeff Dains. Staff present: Heather Butkowski, City Administrator and Kevin Kelly, Deputy City Clerk. Mayor Dains asked for changes to the meeting agenda. There being no changes, Councilor Hawkinson moved to approve the agenda. Councilor Mac Lean seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Councilor Gaasch moved to approve the May 13, 2014 City Council meeting minutes. Councilor Grove seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Councilor Mac Lean moved approval of the claims totaling $25,634.59. Councilor Hawkinson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Councilor Grove moved approval of the Consent Agenda which included the April Financial Report and a new copier lease agreement. Councilor Mac Lean seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Informational Presentation Ennnett Coleman, Vice President of Governmental Affairs, Comcast Mr. Coleman explained Comcast's position in the franchise renewal process with the North Suburban Cable Commission. He argued that the Cable Commission wasn't interested in addressing the "sticking points," especially the disagreements over technical and operating costs of the public access channels. Public Hearing Ordinance 14-03 Pertaining to Health and Safety; Nuisances The public hearing was being held to allow public comment on the proposed changes to the City's nuisance ordinance. Butkowski explained the amendments would increase time for residents to clear snow from sidewalks after a snowfall from 12 hours to 24 hours, prohibit a property owner from depositing snow from their property onto the property of another private property owner, and to hold owners responsible for graffiti removal on their property. Mayor Dains opened the public hearing at 7:51 p.m. No one came forward and the public hearing was closed at 7:52 p.m. Councilor Hawkinson moved to adopt Ordinance 14-03 amending Lauderdale City Code LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 2 of 3 May 27, 2014 regarding Health and Safety; Nuisances. Councilor Gaasch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Discussion Items Reneival of Comcast of Minnesota Cable Franchise (Resolution 052714A), North Suburban Cable Commission Executive Director Cor Wilson Mike Bradley, an attorney working on behalf of the Cable Commission, filled in for Cor Wilson who was presenting at another council meeting. Bradley explained the Cable Commission has been in informal negotiation with Comcast for a few years. At this point, each city in the commission must vote to approve or preliminarily deny the fianchise renewal proposal that has been presented by Comcast. Bradley recommended that the Council support the resolution which would preliminarily deny Comcast's current proposal. Bradley stated that further formal or informal negotiations would be needed to reach an agreement that met the needs of the cities. Councilor Mac Lean moved to adopt Resolution 052714A —the Preliminary Assessment that the Comcast of Minnesota, Inc., Cable Franchise should not be renewed. Councilor Grove seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Farmers Market Guidelines/Policies Butkowski stated the Farmers Markets will be the third Thursday of the months of July, August, and September. Butkowski and Bownik put together Farmers Market guidelines for the vendors to sign as the Farmers Market will be sponsored by the City in 2014. Butkowski contacted the League of Minnesota Cities attorney for information on whether the vendors should be required to carry insurance or name the City as an additional insured on their policies. The response was that risks to the City were low and requiring insurance of the vendors to protect the City was not necessary. Councilor Grove moved to adopt the Farmers Market Guidelines/Policy as presented. Councilor Gaasch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Agenda items for the June 10 Council Meeting may include a discussion of the Larpenteur Avenue Sidewalk Project and a review of fines for payable offenses. Mayor Dains explained that the Council was moving into the work session. Work sessions are a continuation of the meeting but not aired on community television. Mayor Dains asked if anyone wished to address the Council. No one came forward. LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 3 of 3 May 27, 2014 Work Session: 2430 Larpenteur Avenue Improvements The Council discussed whether to demolish or repurpose the building. Public Works staff recommended using the building to store trucks and equipment to keep them out of the elements and limit exposure to theft. Public Works estimated it would take about $2,000 in supplies to improve the structure for reuse. The Mayor stated that Ahvo Taipale of Finn Sisu expressed interest in purchasing the lot and putting a franchise on the property. Butkowski added that the Council can put conditions on the sale of the property to get what the Council would like to see developed on the site. Butkowski stated that Peter Jordan, co-owner of Corval at 1633 Eustis Street, spoke to staff about the retaining wall behind 2430 Larpenteur Avenue. Public Works staff determined there is no erosion coming from City property and there is no need at the present time for improvements. The issue will be monitored. Community Development and Sanitary Sewer Lining Update Butkowski stated the sanitary sewer lining repairs are just about completed. The company hired in 2013 to do the full length lining will be put on notice to come out and complete their portion of the project. There being no further business on the council agenda, Councilor Hawkinson moved to adjourn the meeting. Councilor Mac Lean seconded the motion and it carried.

The contract is being termed a five-year contract but it is really written as five one-year contracts. Each city has until July 15 to notify the other of the in- tent to not continue the contract for the upcoming year. If that doesn't happen the contract would continue. That arrangement provides for some administrative streamlining and conti- nuity. The variety of contract reopeners we discussed previously were removed. I think everyone agreed they were somewhat hard to define and conceive of implementing in practice. They were replaced with one reopener which would allow the Council to reopen the contract if the cost of police services rose by more than 3% in any given year. I am wondering if the newly revised draft contract is more palatable to the Council than the last one? I think it offers the City a number of outs but offers St. Anthony a better sense that Lauderdale and Falcon Heights want to continue the arrangement. I will bring back your feedback and comments to St. Anthony. Ideally, the contract will be ready for approval at the next meeting.

St. Anthony will bear the expense to defend itself and Falcon Heights in the event of a claim, action or liability including attorney's fees and any deductible amount if the matter is covered by St. Anthony's insurer.

VIII. ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY The law enforcement and police services rendered to Falcon Heights will be under the sole direction of St. Anthony.

In consideration for services provided under this Agreement, St. Anthony and Falcon Heights shall establish the fee for police services for each subsequent year by each preceding June 15. If such fee reflects an increase of 3 percent (3%) or more from the prior year's fee, then the contract in its entirety may be re -opened for negotiation at the election of either St. Anthony or Falcon Heights.

I don't know how many where ordered but the total cost was $2,200. That is probably why the supply has lasted for- ever. Staff have been selling them at cost or below but they still don't move. We have well over 100 shirts left. This is partially due to the sizes remaining and the lack of interest in the embroidered polos. We will publish a "clearance sale" in the next newsletter to see if we can get rid of them. We will try selling them for a dollar or two. Since the logo was finalized, staff started using it on letterhead and envelopes and most re- cently new greeting and business cards were order. It would be nice to have some t -shirts printed as well. I will put in an order (51 shirts) for a mix of men's and women's cut t -shirts in the next week or so. I plan to order the nicer textured shirts with the four -colored logo. We can sell them for cost, which would be around $10.75/shirt. My question for the Council is whether you would like other apparel to wear to city events? I can check into polos, hoodies, jackets... Items could be screen printed or embroidered. I wanted to see what you thought would be helpful to have. OPTIONS: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: COUNCIL ACTION: LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM Action Requested Consent Public Hearing Discussion Action Resolution Work Session X Meeting Date June 10, 2014 ITEM NUMBER Pa able Offense Fines STAFF INITIAL = , APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: I don't think it is a stretch to say that it has been decades since all of the cities payable fines were considered by the City Council. While many of the fines on the attached list are not used often, they should reflect a meaningful fine for when they are. Also attached is the fine schedule violators receive when they get a parking ticket. It shows the various fines set by cities throughout Ramsey County. The snow emergency and animal fines have been raised over the years to $40. I suggest leaving those alone unless the Council would like to make second and third animal offenses a stiffer penalty. My recommendation for parking fines regulated by city code is $35 which would make us the same at Falcon Heights. Since Lauderdale and Falcon Heights are most similar in terms of greater use of on -street parking, I think that makes sense. I am also looking for Council feedback on making nuisance violations, like rank growth, payable offenses. Right now, there are residents that only mow when staff send them a let- ter telling them they have rank growth. That results in a large waste of staff time. I presume that one warning letter putting residents on notice that they will receive citations for future offenses will put the onus on them to keep their grass cut and achieve better results. In dis- cussing the issue with Katrina, she supported an escalating fee structure something to the effect of $25 for the first offense, $50 for the second, and $100 for the third with citations being given every seven days. If the fines don't work, abatement is still an option. In a similar vein, I am looking for Council feedback on "urban farming" issues that staff are receiving more complaints from. For example, straw bale gardening in front yards, lawns comprised of tall / unattractive "native plantings," the use of non -conventional containers for plants (think kids swimming pools), and exterior storage of the supplies that support these activities (think numerous compost bins, piles of dirt, stacks of pots, fencing etc.) The Council could set some parameters in city code or consider it the right of folks to do as they please on their property.
