ADJOURNMENT LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 1 of 4 September 13, 2011 Mayor Dains called the City Council meeting to order at 7:32 p.m. Councilors present: Mary Gaasch, Roxanne Grove, Denise Hawkinson, and Mayor Jeff Dains. Councilor absent: Lara Mac Lean. Staff present: Heather Butkowski, City Administrator. Mayor Dains asked for changes to the meeting agenda. There being none, Councilor Hawkinson moved to approve the agenda. Councilor Gaasch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Councilor Grove moved to approve the August 30, 2011, City Council meeting minutes. Councilor Gaasch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Councilor Grove moved approval of the claims totaling $82,232.03. Councilor Hawkinson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Councilor Grove moved the consent agenda approving participation in a training course for the City Administrator. Councilor Hawkinson seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Councilor Mac Lean joined the meeting at 7: 38 p. m. The Mayor introduced the budget discussion. He said the Council would be setting the preliminary levy during the meeting. The final levy must be set by the end of December and cannot exceed the amount set in the preliminary levy. Butkowski said the revised budget included funding to continue exploring the municipal liquor store concept and a budgeted transfer to off -set part of the cost of replacing a public works truck. The budget materials also included information on the residential impact of levy increases ranging from one to five percent based on the new Market Value Homestead Exclusion Program. Mayor Dains opened the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. Marsha Hoffman, 1708 Carl Street, addressed the Council. She asked whether the General Fund was the same as a reserve fund and whether Finn Sisu was financed by tax increment. Butkowski responded that the General Fund is the City's operating fund and. that Finn Sisu was not financed by tax increment dollars. LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 2 of 4 Mayor Dains closed the public hearing at 7:42 p.m. Mayor Dains mentioned that he had attended Ramsey County's budget meeting and the county board approved a 1.7% preliminary levy increase for 2012 and Hennepin County was considering a 1% increase. The county board discussed concerns over the projected November state forecast and whether it would lead to more cuts in aid. Councilor Gaasch reiterated that the City should be prepared for more aid cuts considering the discussions from the past legislative session. Each councilor proposed a levy increase in the 2.5 to 3.5% range knowing that the levy could be lowered in December but it could not be raised. Councilor Mac Lean moved to adopt Resolution 091311A — A Resolution Levying Taxes for 2011 Payable in 2012 in the amount of $598,152 and establishing December 13, 2011 at 7:30 p.m. as the date and time of the Truth in Taxation Hearing. Councilor Gaasch seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Butkowski said the Roseville Area Youth Baseball organization received three fence and three excavating quotes to complete the baseball field improvements. New fencing would extend 24 feet on each side of the backstop to protect the players and six feet above the back stop. The infield would be extended ten feet with lime stone and a new surface over the field. Councilor Hawkinson asked where the storage box would be located. Butkowski said that would be determined later; at this point no one had indicated a preference. Councilor Hawkinson moved to accept Keller's quote for fencing at a cost of $3,850 and Mattco Excavating's quote for the field work at a cost of $5,900 contingent on receipt of $9,750 in project funding from Roseville Area Youth Baseball. Councilor Grove seconded the motion. The Council discussed McNamara's quote, distributed during the meeting, for the ball field work at a cost of $5,600. The vote was taken with Councilors Gaasch, Grove, and Hawkinson voting yea and Councilor Mac Lean and Mayor Dains voting nay. Butkowski said the City received complaints from the school district the last two winters as they couldn't drive buses through the Idaho Avenue / Carl Street area south of Larpenteur Avenue due to road narrowing due to snow accumulation. Last year, the Falcon Heights Fire Chief also suggested reconsidering the parking on Carl Street to ensure fire trucks could continue to service the area in an emergency. Butkowski spoke with the apartment managers. They either strongly supported the idea of restricting parking on the east side of Carl Street or said it was not a source LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 3 of 4 of concern for them. Butkowski sent letters to the property owners; none of them replied regarding the parking issue. The Council discussed whether parking on Carl Street should be limited year-round and when the restriction should go into effect. Councilors suggested limiting parking year-round starting November 1 unless that proves to be a problem. Since the parking restriction is set by resolution, it could be readily changed. Councilor Hawkinson moved to adopt Resolution 091311B - A Resolution Prohibiting Parking on the East Side of Carl Street from Idaho Avenue to Larpenteur Avenue starting November 1, 2011. Councilor Grove seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Butkowski reviewed the preliminary agenda for the next meeting, which included a visit by a member of the Ramsey County Emergency Management staff, CDBG playground grant, and parking ordinance revisions. Mayor Dains explained the Council was moving into the work session. Work sessions are a continuation of the meetings but not aired on community television. The Mayor asked if anyone present wished to address the Council. Melissa Eisenschenk, 1903 Walnut Street, addressed the Council. She explained that she and her husband own the property north of City Hall and they would like to replace their driveway. As their driveway is narrow, they regularly use city property to access their property. She proposed three options for improving their driveway: Replacing only the portion of driveway on their property. Replacing their driveway and part of the City's parking lot to improve aesthetics and drainage. Purchase a portion of the City's driveway and replace the concrete in that entire area. She said they would like to complete the project this fall because the freeze / thaw cycle of winter causes their foundation to heave and leak. The Mayor said the Council would like to reach a suitable agreement but thought it may not happen quickly enough for them to get the area replaced this fall. Staff was directed to explore the three options and ask the city attorney's opinion and costs for drafting an agreement. Marsha Hoffman, 1708 Carl Street, also addressed the Council. She asked about the City's contingency fund. Butkowski said the City budgets anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 each year in the General Fund for unexpected cost overruns. The City does not have a dedicated LAUDERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Lauderdale City Hall 1891 Walnut Street Lauderdale, MN 55113 Page 4 of 4 reserve fund so any additional operating funding needed would be drawn from one of the capital, improvement funds. 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.

APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA Picard motioned to approve the agenda, second by Gallagher. Motion carried unanimously. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF AUGUST 1, 2011 MEETING Hansen motioned to approve the minutes, second by Picard. Motion carried unanimously. 5. REPORTS A. Playground Improvements Phase II Update Bownik provided an update on the playground improvements. Bownik stated that we are still waiting for the grant agreement from the County. The delay will likely mean installing the new equipment in the spring. B. Baseball Field Improvements Bownik reported the baseball field is expected to see improvements yet this year. The,Roseville Area Youth Baseball Association approached the City about using the baseball field. They offered to make up to $20,000 in improvements if they can have scheduling priority. They have done this to other fields in the area in the past. Heather worked with them on an agreement, which the Council approved. The agreement allows them 10 years of preferential use in exchange for the improvements. Plans are to leave the existing fencing but add an additional 6' to the backstop and 24' of fencing along each sideline to protect the players. The Council accepted quotes for fencing and excavating contingent on the receipt of $9,750 in project funding from Roseville Area Youth Baseball. The excavating quote included expanding and cleaning up the infield. C. Fun Run/Walk Wrap Up Bownik reported Only 42 people registered for the event. There were 107 registered last year, and 72 in 2009. Each city had a net profit of $277.86. This 1 9/19/11 PCIC Minutes compares to $545.11 in 2010. It is possible that this will be the last year for the Fun Run/Walk, or it could be the last year Lauderdale participates. Members expressed support for the. event because it promotes fitness and healthy activity, is family -friendly, and has a good financial outlook. Johnson volunteered to help coordinate an aspect of the event next year. It was also suggested to contact Health Partners about being a sponsor, and promoting on www.active.com and other local sites. D. Day in the Park Wrap Up Bownik reported the event went well and several goals were accomplished including setting up in an hour. Attendance was down slightly, which could be because Peace Lutheran had their Christmas in August the same day. Picard noted it was also not an election year, so more people will likely be in attendance next year. Picard also noted vendors will tell their clients to come see them, which draws people to events. Bownik thanked the Committee for helping implement changes that made the event less time consuming and labor intensive for staff. 6. DISCUSSION/ACTION A. Halloween Planning #1/2 (Monday, October 31, 5-7 p.m.) Members discussed aspects of the event including set up, popcorn, movie licensing, food licensing and supplies, the maze, and assignments. The Committee recommended a photo slideshow or video of previous Halloween events instead of paying a licensing fee for the rights to show a movie. Set up is planned for Sunday, October 30. 7. OTHER BUSINESS 8. SET PRELIMINARY AGENDA FOR NEXT MEETING Hansen read the preliminary agenda for the next meeting. 9. SET DATE FOR NEXT MEETING The committee meets on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. The next meeting will be Monday, October 17 at 6:30 p.m. 10. ADJOURNMENT Gallagher motioned to adjourn the meeting, second by Picard. Motion carried unanimously and adjourned at 7:55 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Jim Bownik Assistant City Administrator PCIC Staff Liaison LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM Action Requested Consent Public Hearing Discussion X Action X Resolution Work Session Meeting Date September 27, 2011 ITEM NUMBER Bike Parking Program STAFF INITIAL 4:? APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: In April, staff submitted a request for bike racks to be installed at City Hall and in the two parks through funding given to Transit for Livable Communities. Recently, a Transit for Livable Communities consultant met with staff to review our proposal and inform us that participation would be contingent on adopting a new resolution and making changes to the request. Based on the size of concrete pad required (4' by 8'), staff no longer recommends a bike rack for City Hall. Bike racks still can be reasonably installed at the two parks, primarily because the city council discussed adding a concrete pad for the picnic table at Skyview Park. That would be expanded to allow for two bike racks. Each rack is worth about $100. There is no reimbursement for installation materials (concrete) and labor costs. The resolution outlines a number of strings attached to the bike rack funding. Falcon Heights is reconsidering their participation in the program for that reason and the material costs to install the racks. I don't disagree with their decision. If we only would have known the costibenefit of participation in the program in April. It is a great concept but overshad- owed by the bureaucracy involved. OPTIONS: 1. Motion to adopt Resolution 09271 IA -Cooperative Agreement between the City of Minneapolis and the City of Lauderdale Regarding Bicycle Parking Project and submit the revised project documentation to Transit for Livable Communities. 2. Motion to terminate participation in the Bicycle Parking Project.

ADOPTED by the City Council of Lauderdale this 27"' day of September, 2011. Jeff Dains, Mayor ATTEST: Heather Butkowski, City Administrator LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM Action Requested Consent Public Hearing Discussion _X_ Action Resolution Work Session Meeting Date September 27, 2011 ITEM NUMBER 1903 Walnut Driveway STAFF INITIAL APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: Melissa and Matt Eisenschenk discussed their driveway replacement plans with the Council at the last meeting. They proposed three options: • Purchase part of the city's driveway and replace that portion. • Replacing their driveway and some of the city's driveway to "square it up" and make it more visually appealing. • Replacing the driveway on their property. I spoke to City Attorney Ron Batty about the options and what he would recommend factor- ing they would like to do the work this fall and with the least cost. As discussed during the meeting, selling some of the city's driveway would take a while to prepare and be expensive as it would involve surveys, a replatting of the lots, and negotiat- ing the sale price of the property. Also discussed during the meeting was an easement agreement. That would involve a sur- vey to prepare a legal description and drafting of the easement agreement at a minimum. Since the easement constitutes a permanent change or loss in the city's use of that piece of property, Batty felt the City should receive some monetary compensation or a reciprocal easement for use of their driveway. Due to the desire to do the work this fall, Batty suggested staff draft an agreement allowing the Eisenschenk's to replace their driveway and a portion of the city's. He suggested the agreement identify property ownership, address the issues regarding -allowing someone to work on city property, and require a site plan and water drainage plan to be reviewed by the city engineer as they plan to divert water onto or between.the properties. This assumes the council is still willing to let them replace a portion of the city's driveway. If the Council and Eisenschenk's are interested in pursuing the agreement, staff would try to prepare a draft agreement for Council consideration at the October 11 meeting. Time per- mitting, the city attorney would review the agreement before the meeting. DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: If not, Batty would review it before the October 25 meeting. Ideally, the Council could ap- prove the agreement on October 25. The Eisenschenks could then apply for the driveway permit and submit their site and grading plans for approval by the city engineer. The final issue to consider is whether the Eisenschenks would be asked to cover costs in- curred in meeting their request. The city's practice has been to require property owners to cover the costs of consultants (but not staff) on special requests. In this case, it would be the legal and engineering costs. If either party is not interested in pursuing an agreement, the Eisenschenks could apply for a driveway permit to replace the asphalt on their property. It would create places where old concrete would remain. The City would patch / repair these areas in the future or with the next seal coating project. I spoke to Melissa and they plan to attend the meeting. OPTIONS: Discuss the options and provide staff direction. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: COUNCIL ACTION: LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM Action Requested Consent Public Hearing Discussion Action Resolution Work Session X Meeting Date September 27, 2011 ITEM NUMBER Emergency Management STAFF INITIAL <I "/ APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: Kristy Stauffer, Emergency Management Coordinator for Ramsey County, will be at the meeting. She will go through the attached PowerPoint presentation and provide a broad overview of emergency management and how Lauderdale is served by the County. We have also been discussing doing a "table top" scenario with the council, staff, police chief, and fire chief to work through roles and responsibilities during an emergency situation. As an emergency management response is one of the most basic things people expect from government, I am glad the County hired someone to work with cities.

JAE° LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM Action Requested Consent Public Hearing Discussion X Action Resolution Work Session Meeting Date September 27, 2011 ITEM NUMBER Eustis Street Discussion STAFF INITIAL :_ 'A 9? APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: In July, the Council discussed the condition of Eustis Street. Since then the sewer main was televised. Staff expects to receive the sewer video shortly but there didn't appear to be any major issues in the line. The Council also discussed winter parking on Eustis Street. Staff sent out the attached letter asking for feedback from the 84 properties along Eustis Street. 28 residents responded. 13 respondents preferred that no changes be made to winter parking on Eustis Street, 11 pre- ferred alternating parking each year, and 3 favored having parking on either the east or west side. Basically, those that responded were split in their preference. As we discussed, the road does not have full -width parking lanes and those lanes narrow over the course of winter. The plows try to push snow as far back as possible but can't get so close that they hit the curb. When cars are left on the street during snow events, the plows drive around them leaving windrows and long stretches where they don't plow curb to curb. Public works staff clean up these spaces as best they can with the plows on the front of the trucks but they can't push the snow as far back as the county plow trucks. Based on the surveys and other feedback we received, staff came up with a range of options that would help with the snow issue. Some ideas are pro -active, some are reactive, and some are more effective than others. Have the police always begin ticketing on Eustis Street after a 2 inch snowfall. Cur- rently, they usually start on Fulham Street or Walnut Street. This would encourage Eus- tis Street residents not to leave -their cars parked on the street when snow is expected. Pros: May help get more cars off the road so the County can do a better plow job Cons: Eustis Street residents may feel "picked on" by always being ticketed first. Tow cars left on Eustis Street after two inches of snow. Pros: May encourage more people to remove their cars from the road. If they don't, they can be towed before the County plows. Cons: Eustis Street residents may feel "picked on" by living on the only street where the City tows cars. Limit parking to one side of Eustis Street (either the east or west side). Parking could be limited the whole winter or staff could put up the signs when needed. Pros: Virtually eliminates the risk that Eustis Street will become too narrow for traffic and emergency vehicles. Less confusing than alternating the parking each year. Can put permanent posts on only one side of the street. Cons: Loss of some parking. Surveys showed residents preferred alternating parking. Limit parking to one side of Eustis Street (alternate annually). Parking could be limited the whole winter or staff could put up the signs when needed. Pros: Virtually eliminates the risk that Eustis Street will become too narrow for traffic and emergency vehicles. Cons: Loss of some parking. Would need to put permanent posts on each side of the street. Limit overnight parking on Eustis Street - A resident's suggestion. Pros: Would allow the County to plow curb to curb overnight. Most of their plowing is done between 2:00 am and 6:00 am. Cons: Loss of parking. Would need to put permanent posts on each side of the street. Budget to remove snow when it becomes necessary. Pros: Would only be necessary in heavy snow years. Little disruption to the neighbor- hood. Cons: Cost. Last year Falcon Heights paid a contractor to blow snow in their problem areas. Based on their experience, we can estimate $300-$500 per hour for snow re- moval depending on whether it is blown into yards or hauled away. Last year's snow caught everyone off -guard but made it clear that a plan or contingency plan should be in place should it happen again. Last year we relied on moving/hauling snow away. The county may be willing to provide the service again but it won't be done for free this year. OPTIONS: Discuss and add to the options presented. There may be others staff haven't thought of yet. Narrow the list to those the Council considers the best options. Staff will follow up on those as needed and report back to the Council. J jaeand in UwAidw CITY HALL 1891 WALNUT STREET LAUDERDALE, MN 55113 651-792-7650 FAx 651-631-2066 August 22, 2011 Dear Eustis Street Resident, Last winter brought us a lot of snow and the parking issues that go with it. As you may recall, Ramsey County alleviated the parking issues on Eustis Street by hauling away snow on the west side of the street. The County has informed the City that they will not continue this practice in the future if we receive large amounts of snow. Due to the width of the road and the traffic it carries, the snow not only causes a headache for residents but has the potential to, limit public safety vehicles ability to respond to calls. The City would like your input on ways to alleviate future winter parking concerns on Eustis Street. The following are options the Council has been considering and would apply to the blocks between Larpenteur Avenue and Roselawn Avenue. Please place an "X" next to your preferred solution: 1. Make no changes to, the City's parking policy for Eustis Street. (Currently, the City does not allow parking on streets after a 2" snowfall for 48 hours or until the street has been plowed curb to curb.) 2. Limit parking in the winter to one side of Eustis Street (permanent signs would be posted in the right-of-way area along Eustis Street): Limit parking to the west (odd) side of the street Limit parking to the east (even) side of the street Alternate parking between the odd and even sides of Eustis Street based on even -odd year scheduling. 3. Alternative ideas: 4. Contact information should we have follow up questions (Optional): You may respond to this survey in the following ways: 1. By e-mail at heather.butkowski@ci.lauderdale.mn.us 2. By calling City Hall at 651.792.7650 3. By dropping the survey off in the after hours drop box in front of City Hall 4. By mailing the survey to City Hall at 1891 Walnut Street, Lauderdale, MN 55113.
