Members present: Council members Karen Gill -Gerbig, Denise Hawkinson, Karen Doherty, and Clay Christensen. Mayor Jeff Dains was not present due to illness Also present were staff members Jim Bownik, Assistant to the City Administrator and Heather Butkowski, Deputy Clerk. Mayor pro -tem Doherty asked if there were any additions or deletions to the agenda. Heck offered adding an update on the City Wide Garage Sale being held Saturday, May 19, 2007. There being no further additions or deletions, council member Hawkinson moved approval of the agenda as amended. Council member Gill -Gerbig seconded the motion and it carried. Mayor pro -tem Doherty asked if there were any additions or corrections to the minutes of the April 24, 2007, City Council minutes. Council member Hawkinson stated page one of the minutes in the paragraph about the Roseville Review, it there should be a "two" between "previous" and "week" as she didn't receive her Review for two weeks. There being no further amendments to the minutes, council member Christensen moved approval. Council member Hawkinson seconded the motion and it carried. Mayor pro -tem Doherty asked if there were any questions on the claims. There being no questions or comments on the claims, Council member Gill -Gerbig moved to approve the claims as presented in the amount of $59,277.48. Council member Hawkinson seconded the motion and it carried. Mayor pro -tem Doherty asked if anyone present wished to address the Council on issues not on the agenda. There being none, the Council took up consideration of the Consent Agenda. Council member Christensen moved approval of the consent agenda authorizing Park Reservations, approving rental housing license applications and training requests, and authorizing participation and membership in "Minnesota Water — Let's Keep it Clean" for 2007-2008. Council member Gill -Gerbig seconded the motion and it carried. Mayor pro -tem Doherty introduced and welcomed Dan Johnson -Powers, the lead CERT trainer. Dan told the Council about the CERT program. He said CERT stands for Citizen Emergency Response Team. He went on to say the program is funded through a grant obtained by the City of Falcon Heights and is designed to train citizen's how to respond in emergency situations such as floods, tornados, etc., and to become citizen leaders to organize the community and begin in the recovery process. Dan stated nine (9) Lauderdale residents completed the training and four are present. Dan then read off the -1- names of the participants and each came forward to receive thanks from the Council. Recognized were: Mr. Peter McSwiggen, Mr. Dennis Dolphin, Mr. Jacob Kanake, and Ms. Kamini Dalal. Mr. Dolphin and Mr. Kanake both encouraged other residents to take the training. Bownik informed the Council about the upcoming Community Garage Sale. He said the garage sale will take place on Saturday, May 19. He went on to say there are over 15 residents signed up to participate. He said the Comp. Plan task force will be at city hall for an "open house" to discuss with interested residents the progress of the comprehensive plan. Heck outlined the background of the issue stating that a request was made to a council member if the city loaned or rented the tables and chairs. Heck said some residents receive tables and chairs for events such as the National Night Out. Heck said there is no policy covering the use of city equipment by the public. He said concerns include a fee or deposit to cover damage or replacement of items and the drop off and pick up of the items. Hawkinson stated she likes the idea of allowing residents to reserve and use tables and chairs; however, said a deposit would be needed and the resident needs to be responsible to pick up and drop off the items. Gill -Gerbig agreed with Hawkinson and added the deposit needs to be large enough to cover the cost and staff time to obtain a new item. Christensen indicated a deposit of $100 to $125 seemed a bit steep. After further discussion, the Council directed staff to develop a policy on the use of equipment by the public and recommend a deposit for said use. The Council discussed the Administrator's wage. Council member Gill -Gerbig moved to increase the annual wage of the Administrator by 3% based on the Administrator's performance. Council member Hawkinson seconded the motion and the motion carried on a roll call vote with members Gill -Gerbig, Hawkinson, Christensen, and Doherty all voting yes. Council member Gill -Gerbig moved to delete `Bakken-` from the Administrator's name on the Agreement between the City and the Administrator. Motion seconded by Hawkinson and carried with members Hawkinson, Christensen, Gill -Gerbig and Doherty voting yes. Bownik provided background on the proposal to have live music in the Community Park, referred to as "Music Under the Trees," in July and as part of the annual Day in the Park celebration in August. Bownik said Kathy Larfeld worked on this issue and contacted the -2- Roseville community band who will play for $200 and the LexHam Community band will play for $75.00. Council member Hawkinson moved to try the Music Under the Trees on July 19 and during Day in the Park, to allocate funds to pay for the bands, and to have the PCIC be responsible for organizing the event. Motion seconded by Gill -Gerbig and the motion carried with Christensen, Hawkinson, Gill -Gerbig, and Doherty all voting yes. Bownik presented the tee shirt and polo shirt for review by the Council. He said the PCIC didn't really like the tee shirt design and recommended going back to the old design on the tee shirts. Council member Hawkinson moved to change the tee shirt design to the old design and approved the cost increase of $.50 per tee shirt as proposed. Motion seconded by Gill -Gerbig and carried with Hawkinson, Christensen, Gill -Gerbig and Doherty all voting yes. Butkowski provided background and general information on the history of the Inflow and Infiltration program and why the City needs to develop a plan to remedy the issue. Christensen thanked Butkowski for the excellent report and added he liked the idea the Comprehensive Plan suggested providing a sliding carrot and stick approach. Doherty asked who would be responsible for doing the home to home inspections. Staff responded that an outside contracted party would be the recommendation. Christensen agreed saying a disinterested third party is needed for this process. The council directed staff to work on updating the ordinance and to work with the engineering firm in addressing this issue. Mayor Dains joined the meeting at 8:50 p.m. and brought up the issue of Walsh Lake water levels during storm events. He said he spoke to a resident in the area who states the levels of the lake are much higher than usual during rain storms. The resident suggested the new condos and town homes might be part of the reason for the added water. There being no further items for Council consideration, Christensen moved to adjourn the meeting. Hawkinson seconded the motion and all voted in favor. Meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m. -3- CITY OF LAUDERDALE Claims for Approval May 22, 2007 City Council Meeting 5/18/07 Payroll: Direct Deposit # 500348-500356, 7969 5/18/07 Payroll: Payroll Liabilities, e -payments 154E -157E Vendor Claims 5/22/07 Claims: Check #s 18657-18681 $7,795.66 $6,594.47 $19,623.94 ** At the last meeting, the Council withheld payment from the Roseville Review for unsatisfactory service.

LAUDERDALE COUNCIL E: ACTION FORM Action Requested Consent Public Hearing Discussion X Action Resolution Work Session Meeting Date May 22, 2007 ITEM NUMBER 9B Fulham/Summer St. Light STAFF INITIAL APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: Early last fall, Xcel energy followed up on some projects that didn't get done with the street project. One of these projects moved the light poll from the southwest corner of Summer and Fulham (1855 Fulham) to the northwest corner which lights the intersection from the park corner. We heard from Xcel that it was resident complaints about a dark intersection that got them moving to complete the project. After the light was installed, Council member Hawkinson realized it caused light to flood into her home. Xcel tried the two types of over- head lights that fit on wood poles and tried to shield the lights with black paint but none of these remedies worked satisfactorily. During my last discussion with Xcel, they said the City could purchase a decorative light for that corner (and run the wires underground) that might solve the problem. Xcel could also remove the light but the residents that originally got Xcel to put up the light would probably call again requesting a light be installed. Staff asks that the Council give these issues consideration and provide staff direction. OPTIONS: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: COUNCIL ACTION: LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM TYPE OF REQUEST Consent ❑ Action X Resolution ❑ Information ❑ Work session ❑ MEETING DATE Tuesday, May 22, 2007 AGENDA NUMBER 9-C DESCRIPTION Park Demarcation I BACKGROUND OR PAST COUNCIL ACTION I Approximately seven (7) years ago, the Claussens began a legal battle with the city regarding where the south property line is at the community park. Last month the Court of Appeals up held the District Courts determination in favor of Lauderdale. Last July, in accordance with the order, we had judicial markers installed along the line established by the District Court. The question now is what does the Council wish to do to formally "demark" public from private property. OPTIONS 1. Erect a fence (chain link, split rail, privacy, wrought iron, etc.) 2. Signs every so many feet indicating public property line. 3. Pathway 4. Combination of the above 5. Do nothing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the construction of a physical arrier such as a fence along the property line. MOTION BY STAFF ACTION R0 WLC LAUDERDALE COUNCIL ACTION FORM Action Requested Consent Public Hearing Discussion X Action Resolution Work Session Meeting Date May 22, 2007 ITEM NUMBER 9D Resident Traffic Concerns STAFF INITIAL APPROVED BY ADMINISTRATOR DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE AND PAST COUNCIL ACTION: Last year residents on Malvern were concerned for neighborhood children as they felt driv- ers drove to fast and were inattentive. That same concern has now been brought to the City's attention by residents of Eustis north of Roselawn. Recent monitoring by police shows that drivers rarely exceed the 30 mph limit but it can feel that way because the roads are narrow with cars parked in the streets. At the last meeting, I was asked to get information on the costs of signs to note streets with children. These quotes are from our usual sign supply company and do not include tax or shipping: "Children at Play" 3000, $124.10 / per sign (Custom sign) "Watch for Children" 30x30, $ 50.19 / per sign (Standard sign) It seems that concerns like these will continue to spring up. Staff is asking the Council to consider how we should respond to such complaints. Some common traffic calming solu- tions include signage, lowering speed limits within the City, speed bumps/humps, street art, and more stop signs.

Additionally, the PCIC discussed and suggested designations for each of the park areas owned by Lauderdale. Staff also discussed and developed a list of ideas for park and open space improvements. The Councils task is to review the ideas and concepts and decide which items to include in a long range plan. Once this is completed, staff will begin to gather preliminary cost estimates and bring back to the PCIC for review and recommendations on prioritization based on available dollars and need determination. Below is a summary of staff and PCIC discussions and projects. PCIC RECOMMENDATIONS: The PCIC recommends designating the Community Park as an active recreation area and all other park areas as passive recreation. The projects the PCIC recommends, in order of priority, are: • Upgrade the hockey rink with pavement, new boards, etc. • Warming house improvements or a new facility that provides space to rent, kitchen, restrooms, etc. • Improved pathways and signage in Nature Area • Connecting pathways / walkways PCIC AND STAFF IMPROVEMENT IDEAS: Below are the other suggested improvements for the parks and open space. 1. Expand trails/pathway within the City. 2. Install fencing or signage to separate private property from public recreational property. 0 3. Upgrade and modernize playground equipment and provide equipment for older kids (8-12) 4. Tot lot with benches at the Walnut and Ione area. 5. Bike and/or skate Park or area. 6. Off leash dog park. 7. Frisbee Golf holes. 8. Portable Volleyball. 9. Organized activities such as tennis lessons. 10. Archery Range. 11. Community Garden. 12. Sledding Hill. 13.

Heck, City Administrator CC: Staff Date: May 18, 2007 Re: April Monthly Financial Report Attached is the April financial report. In general, the expenditures are in line with where they should be at this juncture with most expenditure items at or below 33%. Based on April expenditures, I adjusted the projections in several areas closer to 100% for the year. The revenue continues to lag behind where it should be for this time of year and this is because state aide and property tax disbursements have not been received. Interest income continues to be ahead of projections and we anticipate this trend to continue. The fund balances continue to remain satisfactory and transfers authorized by the Council at the last meeting will be made in the next few weeks. 2007 MONTHLY BUDGET ANALYSIS April - should be at 33% of year GENERAL FUND SUMMARY EXPENDITURES Legislative 21,341 2007 2007 23,915 Percent Percent Administration 2006 ADOPTED YEAR TO 2007 Year to Projected Communications ACTUAL BUDGET DATE PROJECTED Date to Budget REVENUES 15,371 18,320 4,244 18,320 23.17% 100.00% Property Taxes 445,983 550,900 425 534,373 0.08% 97.00% State Aide 396,907 409,341 - 409,341 0.00% 100.00% Permits and Licenses 24,735 17,830 3,940 16,403 22.10% 92.00% Fines and Fees 34,130 33,500 9,055 34,505 27.03% 103.00% Other Revenue 37,468 20,510 9,466 23,176 46.15% 113.00% TOTAL REVENUE 939,223 1,032,081 22,886 1,017,798 2.22% 98.62% EXPENDITURES Legislative 21,341 24,655 5,001 23,915 20.28% 97.00% Administration 152,804 169,556 56,650 169,000 33.41% 99.67% Communications 30,369 32,330 9,136 30,713 28.26% 95.00% Elections 15,371 18,320 4,244 18,320 23.17% 100.00% Public Safety 288,458 580,600 197,760 577,000 34.06% 99.38% Police 255,288 525,600 174,203 525,500 33.14% 99.98% Fire 21,246 42,000 19,103 38,000 45.48% 90.48% Prosecution 11,925 13,000 4,454 13,500 34.26% 103.85% Public Works 69,600 80,017 18,851 74,416 23.56% 93.00% Planning and Inspections 34,153 35,783 8,902 33,278 24.88% 93.00% Parks and Recreation 55,072 75,820 19,598 76,969 25.85% 101.52% Transfers 176,256 15,000 - - 0.00% 0.00% TOTAL EXPENDITURES 843,424 1,032,081 320,143 1,003,612 31.02% 97.24% OVER/(UNDER) BUDGET (95,799) - 297,257 (14,187) OTHER FUNDS REVENUE 201 Community Events Fund 4,120 2,235 588 2,100 26.29% 93.96% 202 Cable T.V.
