PUBLIC INPUT William Werner of 2765 Sherwood Road asked how long Council expected this meeting to last tonight. Mayor Marty said his goal would be to adjourn by 9:30 p.m. David Jahnke of 8428 Eastwood Road said he watched the last couple of ineetings and he is concerned that anyone can come and talk as long as they want and asked if that is true. Mayor Marty indicated that if Council is discussing something and there is someone from the audience that wants to speak about the item they can. He then said that Council will determine how the meeting is moving along and determine the amount of time allowed. Mr. Jahnke said that a resident had commented that Medtronic was a burden to this community ~ and he would like to ask the Finance Director how Medtronic is a burden. Mounds View City Council March 12, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 2 Mayor Marty explained that it will not be a tax benefit until the year 2033. • Finance Director Beer indicated that the City does collect taxes on it now and did not when it was a golf course and it is yet to be determined whether the costs will outweigh the benefit. He further said that there is a$13,000,000 tax value to the property now. Mr. Jahnke asked why people keep bringing Medtronic up Council Member Stigney said that with Medtronic there is a zero percent tax levy and that is a direct benefit. Jackie Ensminger of 7954 Long Lake Road said that she takes issue with the night of the work session when Chief Sommer requested the police cars to be painted black and white and she thinks it is shameful that he was dismissed and she feels that they should be given what they want and a Chief of Police should not have to go through what he went through and Council should take care of the police officers if nothing else than for morale. Mayor Marty agreed and said that for $700 per car it would be worthwhile. Michael Herbst of 2216 Kingsford Lane wanted to discuss the Code violations in the manufactured home park because they wi11 not do anything for the residents. He then said that they want two exits to allow for emergency access to the park. He also provided Council with information on how his home is settling and sinking and the issues that is causing. • Mayor Marty indicated that he and Staff will make arrangements to come out and look at the situation. 6.

B. Resolution 7030, Authorizing the Exterior Property Abatement at 2263 County Road H2 Housing Inspector Anderson provided an overview of the exterior code issues at 2263 County Road H2. Staff explained that on February 23, 2006 and in April of 2005 they were notified for the exact same issue but they have not been able to take care of the cleanup this time. Council Member Mueller asked how long this would take and what the estimate of costs would be. Mr. Anderson explained that the City has a contract with a towing company to handle the vehicles on the property and provided an estimate of the number of yards of debris to be removed. Council Member Stigney asked if everything is in line legally so that the City does not get sued. Mr. Anderson explained that, based upon the recommendation of the City Attorney, Staff feels • that the legal requirements are being met. Council Member Flaherty asked whether the property owner is aware of what is going on. Mounds View City Council March 12, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 4 Mr. Anderson indicated that based on previous history with this property owner he is confident • that they are aware of the ramifications of this action. Council Member Flaherty said he would like Staff to make personal contact with the property owner to ensure that they are aware. Mayor Marty indicated that this is the third year in a row so it appears to be habitual and this takes up Staff time. He then asked if there is anything else the City can do to prevent the issue from continuing to happen. Mr. Anderson indicated that Staff is working on some options for a graduated fee schedule that will be brought to Council for consideration. Council Member Stigney asked when official notification is given to the property owner. Mr. Anderson indicated that he will drive out to the home and try to make direct contact and then mail them a letter informing them. Council Member Stigney would like to know how many days until the City abates the nuisance and he would like to give the property owner a certain number of days to abate the issue before the City does it. Mr. Anderson said that if the resident makes contact with Staff and resents a reasonable lan of • P P action to abate the issues at the property then Staff would be willing to work with them on that. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7030, Authorizing the Exterior Property Abatement at 2263 County Road H2 as Amended. Council Member Mueller asked if it seems that someone is living at the home or does it appear that they are not living there or are on vacation.

Resolution 7029, Wetland Alteration Permit Associated with the Proposed Longview Estates Subdivision • Community Development Director Ericson explained that the properly owner is before Council for a wetland alteration permit to allow for the tree removal that occurred. He then explained that Mounds View City Council March 12, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 6 this is an after the fact permit request due to the fact that Staff did not communicate to Mr. • Harstad that he needed such a permit. Director Ericson read from the Code listing what constitutes the requirement to obtain a wetland alteration permit. Director Ericson indicated that in working with Rice Creek and the City's Staff the criteria were reviewed as listed in the Staff report and all appear to be satisfied and Staff finds no basis to deny this tree removal permit. Director Ericson explained that any other planned work would need another alteration permit to be reviewed by Council. Dave Tillman of 5166 Longview Drive addressed Council and said that they realize that this will occur and it states that nothing else shall occur. He then provided a picture taken two hours ago of fill that was dumped after the trees were removed. Director Ericson said that there is new dirt on the site after the trees were removed. Reed Hiltman of Longview Drive said that he is irritated with the process and thinks that the City should be more proacrive rather than reactive to ensure that other developers do not do the same thing and ask for a permit after the fact. Director Ericson said that Staff is working with the City Attorney on Chapter 1010 of the Ci 's • ~3' Code to clarify some of the language in it concerning enforcement to ensure the City is in a better position to follow up on willful disregard in the future. Director Ericson indicated that Staff can attempt to ascertain where the fill came from and will ask Rice Creek to follow up if there is no permit from Rice Creek. Staff would need to consult with the City Attorney to determine what type of recourse is available. Martin Harstad of 2191 Silver Lake Road explained that they have not placed any fi11 on the property and have not done any grading. They did grind stumps outside of the wetland but not within it and only removed trees. He then said that if someone did place fill then he would request that they be prosecuted because no one has been given authorization to place fill. He further said that no one that he is associated with has dumped any fill on this site. Council Member Mueller asked whether the originally submitted tree removal plan was followed. Mr. Harstad said he requested that the dead trees that were blown down in addition to the trees listed for removal be taken. He further explained that the storm that happened devastated the site and he requested that the dead fall be removed u Mounds View City Council March 12, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 7 • Council Member Flaherty asked whether a wetland alteration permit was required for Red Oak Estates. Mr. Harstad indicated that the judge did not require it. Council Member Flaherty explained that the permit states that no fill shall be brought onto the site. He then said that the permit requested will allow only for tree removal from the Longview tract of land and nothing else is permitted. He further asked if that includes removal of stumps. Mr. Harstad said that is controlled by the local governing unit and that would be Rice Creek. He then said that trees can be removed in the winter but you must leave the stump. He further said that if you look at the site you will see stumps in the wetland area and the stumps outside of the wetland were ground. Mayor Marty said he feels a little uneasy about the language concerning increasing flow and he is concerned about removing cottonwoods because a mature cottonwood can take upwards of 500 gallons of water per day. He then said that even though they are scrub trees they are useful and he is concerned for the future and removing the water vacuums may create some impact to the water table in the low lying areas. Director Ericson said that he asked Rice Creek Watershed District that question and then said • that he has a response from them by emaiL He further said that larger trees do absorb a certain quantity of water but he does not feel that they will impact flood storage or water to be contained in a certain area. Mr. Harstad explained that there are inlets to the property but there is also an outlet and the wetland will not change a whole lot because it is usually at capacity due to the inlets. Council Member Flaherty said that he would like Council to consider in the future that there was only 48 hours between when the notification was made to the City and the commencing of the work. Mr. Harstad apologized for that but said that this project has been a long process and there have been numerous meetings and said that he feels it was made clear that he wanted to develop his properly. He then said that the delineation flags were out and he did call the City and the watershed district and the chair of the watershed and then he proceeded. Pete Severson of 5172 Longview Drive said that he just heard a Council Member speaking for him and he would prefer that does not happen. He then said that he does not have a very good neighbor in regards to protecting the earth and providing habitat for the animals. He further said that it was a surprise when the big trees started coming down. • Mr. Severson said he would like to know how the City handles landowners who ignore the rules and landowners who ignore the process. He then asked if the City feels that this developer really did not know the rules. He further said that this should have been handled differently. Mounds View City Council March 12, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 8 Ma or M indicated that the entire area is not considered wetland and the City cannot deny a • Y ~Y property owner the use of his or her property unless the City wants to pay them for it. Jacob Sheck of 5168 Longview Drive asked that Mr. Ericson or the Council help in letting residents know ahead of time because of his son's respiration situation and to have information ahead of time to be able to plan would be nice. Mayor Marty indicated he has been out at the site with Staff and what they want to do after the plans are brought is to have a landscaping plan to go along with the development. Mr. Harstad indicated that they have the plans completed at this time. He then said that they approached Rice Creek Watershed and asked if they could open their old permit and noted they are requesting less wetland fill under this plan and will have 8 lots instead of 11 and will leave the trees along Silver Lake Road. He further said they will submit plans within the next few weeks. Ann Tillman of Longview Drive said she had a question about the City clearly communicating that a permit was required. She then asked if it is the City's responsibility to notify or is it the property owner's responsibility to obtain the proper permits. Mayor Marty indicated that there had been some miscommunication or misunderstanding when • Mr. Harstad built Red Oak Estates there was a court order and the City said they are your trees and then this property was discussed and there were some communication issues with the pro~ect. MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7029, Wetland Alteration Permit Associated with the Proposed Longview Estates Subdivision. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. F. Resolution 7033, Adopting a City Vision and Mission Statement, Goals Program, Values Statement, and Rules of Conduct as Amended to be a Draft City Administrator Ulrich explained that City leadership and Council met and discussed City Vision and Mission Statements and recommended approval of the documents. He then read the vision statement and goals for the City. Mayor Mariy asked if Council could get copies of these documents for the Council Chambers. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Flaherty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7033, Adopting a City Vision and Mission Statement, Goals Program, Values Statement, and Rules of Conduct as Amended to be a Draft. Council Member Stigney said he does not recall the Rules of Conduct being discussed. He then • said that he has an exception to the criticizing comment in the Rules of Conduct. Mounds View City Council March 12, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 9 . William Werner of 2765 Sherwood Road said that this seems like Council is trying to sneak something in and then ask people what they think of it. He then asked if Council approves of this Resolution. Mayor Marty indicated that the Council goals carried the most weight. City Administrator Ulrich said that in the past Council has asked residents about the goals at the town hall meeting if Council is interested. Mayor Marty amended the Resolution to be a draft to be approved after the town hall meeting. The Motion and Second agreed. Council Member Mueller asked that the draft be posted on the website for resident review. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. G. Resolution 7028, Adopting a Calendar for the Preparation of the 2Q08 Budget • Finance Director Beer explained that this would approve a budget calendar noting that by the June 4, 2007 meeting Staff would like to have Council budget goals. He then said that Council must adopt its preliminary budget and levy in September. Mayor Marty said that his calendar in the folder only goes to June but the September 15, 2007 is a work session. Finance Director Beer explained that would give Council and option for a special work session to discuss budget. Council discovered that the calendar dates do not match the Resolution. Staff will review it and bring it back at the next meeting. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Mueller. To Move Approval of the Resolution to the Next Meeting Under the Consent Agenda.

I, Resolution 7045, Establishing the Streets and Utility Reconstruction Task Force City Administrator Ulrich explained that Staff is recommending a Task Force to discuss and meet as a Council and invite interested residents to attend to discuss street and utility reconstruction throughout the City. Mayor Mariy suggested changing the time from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Councii Member Stigney would like to set a date for completion rather than saying end of summer. Council agreed to August 31, 2007. The first meeting of the Task Force will be April 16, 2007.

Mayor Marty pulled item F. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Flaherty. To Approve Consent Agenda Items A, B,C, E, H, I, and J as Presented. • Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. D. Resolution 7035 Authorizing Additional Expenditures to Cities Digital for Services Rendered Council Member Flaheriy said he pulled this due to the 25% over the original bid and it seems to him that the bid was approved and the 25% seems excessive because quotes are usually within 5% to 10% of the amount quoted. Mayor Marty said that one thing that flagged this for him was files containing large format documents and color images was more than was estimated. He then asked if the quote would be adequate for next year. Community Development Director Ericson explained that there were a lot of large scale drawings and special planning case files. He then said that they were not pleased with the increase but in year two scanning would be microfilm and rolls and microfiche all of which are standard size and quality so there should not be any surprises moving forward. Council Member Flaherty asked if there is anything the City can do to bring costs back in line with the estimate. • Finance Director Beer indicated that there are some finance items that do not need to be scanned and that would reduce the amount for 2008. Mounds View City Council March 12, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 12 Director Ericson said that maybe Staff could have done some of the prep work and will do so • moving forward to realize any savings possible. Mayor Marly said that this scanning needs to get done to ensure that there are good records available. Council Member Flaherty agreed but said that this expenditure was not budgeted for to this extent. MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Mueller. To Deny Resolution 7035, Authorizing Additional Expenditures to Cities Digital for Services Rendered. Council Member Mueller said that the company hired to do this is professional and should have known what they were getting into and their estimate should have been within 5% of their estimate and to come back with this high of an overage is unacceptable. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Director Ericson asked if Staff can resubmit an additional request for $1,000 for the scanning of Minutes and Resolutions for 2007. He then asked whether the overage should be moved to 2008. Council Member Mueller wants to have the company bring back an invoice more in line with the • estimate. F. Resolution 7041, Approving Purchase of a Replacement White Marked Squad Car Mayor Marty indicated that he would like to approve the black and white squad cars and would amend the Resolution from replacement white squad car to black and white as requested by the Police Department. MOTION/SECOND: Mariy/Flaheriy. To Approve Resolution 7041, Approving Purchase of a Replacement White Marked Squad Car as amended to a Black and White Squad Car. Council Member Mueller said that she took an unofficial poll and spoke with three officers and she wanted to know if they felt it was important for safety purposes to have black and white cars. All three officers said they thought it would be nice and that it is trendy now but they have such nice lighting systems in the cars now so that visibility in a white car is not a safety issue. She further said that there are other uses for forfeiture funds that could better benefit the City. Council Member Stigney said that this was discussed at the work session and a national ophthalmologist said this would be a step backward because they are not more visible. He then said that he has seen nothing to change his mind that this is necessary. • Mounds View City Council March 12, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 13 • • • David Jahnke asked if the Chief asked for this. Council indicated that he did. Mayor Marty indicated that the Chief said that this was a request from the department. Council Member Flaherty said he appreciated the residents' comments but he did not get the impression that this would mean a lot to the department to have this done. He then said that if this is something that the police force feels strongly about then he would agree that this should be done for them but he has not gotten that impression. He further said that he would invite the Chief to come back and discuss this further. Mayor Marty asked that Chief Sommer report back to the Council on the importance of this issue for the Department. Ayes -1 (Marty) Nays - 4 Motion failed. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Hull. To Approve Resolution 7041, Approving Purchase of a Replacement White Marked Squad Car. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. H. Resolution 7044, Approving a Restaurant License for Little Caesar's Pizza Located at 2581 County Highway 10 Council Member Mueller asked if there was going to be any change in the way that the business will be run that may require other conditions before the transfer is complete such as a fire inspection. City Administrator Ulrich indicated that all Code requirements will be met before the transfer goes through. MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Flaherty. To Approve Resolution 7044, Approving a Restaurant License for Little Caesar's Pizza Located at 2581 County Highway 10. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. 9.
