2 A. Public Hearing to Consider the First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance
3 793, an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Code to Eliminate References to the
4 Former Public Facilities Zoning District
5
6 Community Development Director Ericson explained that this amendment would clean up the
7 Zoning Code relative to the public facilities zoning district because the Code was amended to
8 eliminate the public facilities zoning district at the direction of the City Attorney but, Chapter
9 1124, the Telecommunications Chapter was not addressed and it states that towers can be located
10 in a PF district.
11
12 Mayor Mariy opened the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.
13
14 Hearing no public comments, Mayor Marty closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.
15
16 Council Member Mueller would like to add the City parks and properties rather than just City
17 parks because it appears to her that towers would not be allowed on other City properties unless
18 it was a City park.
19
2o Director Ericson said that would be appropriate to allow towers on any other City owned
21 property.
22
23 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Introduce Ordinance 793, an •
24 Ordinance Amending the Zoning Code to Eliminate References to the Former Public Facilities
25 Zoning District as Amended.
26
2~ Mayor Marty asked about the third page of Chapter 1124, regarding zoning districts and height
28 limitations and co-locations.
29
3o Director Ericson explained that the intent was to encourage multiple users on a tower rather than
31 one for each user.
32
33 Mayor Marty asked about Section 1124.05, Subd. 4, where it discusses landscaping plans being
34 approved by the forester and City Council or the Director of Community Development. He then
35 said that he would like to recommend that it be the Director of Community Development and the
36 City Forester.
37
38 Director Ericson asked whether that change can be made tonight because this hearing was
39 regarding the PF district.
40
41 City Attorney Riggs indicated that this deals with the same Chapter and can be approved with
42 this first reading.
43
44 Mayor Marty said that he would like to add City Forester down further in the same section. He •
45 then said that the Ricochet towers were not removed and the section on tower removal he would
Mounds View City Council June 25, 2007
Regular Meeting Page 3
like to be up to the discretion of the City because the Ricochet towers could benefit the City now.
Council Member Stigney said that if the tower is on City property he wonders how the City
would recover for removal.
City Attorney Riggs indicated that would be a clause in any lease agreement when the tower is
constructed and agreed to by the City.
Council would like to require a bond for removal of towers, if necessary.
Ayes - 5
Nays - 0
Motion carried.
B. Public Hearing to Consider the Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance
790, an Ordinance Amending Chapters 3 and 5 of the Mounds View City
Charter
Jonathan Thomas appeared before Council and reviewed the proposed change to the Charter.
19 Mayor Marty said that Page 3 of 5 needs to be clarified as to the number of days for the petition
20 process.
21
• 22 Mr. Thomas explained that the reason that the days listed are separate is due to the total number
23 of days. He then said that there is a reason why one is 9 and one is 10 and it needs to be done
24 that way because the tasks needing to be done are different the second time.
25
26 Mayor Marty pointed out an issue with the wording in the insufficient petition section. Mr.
27 Thomas agreed.
Mayor Marty said that on Page 5 of 5, Line 210, under recall it seems confusing and he would
like to use official or officer but not both.
Council Member Stigney said he has a concern regarding Section 307 where the language was
changed and asked if the City Attorney is concerned with the publication dates.
City Attorney Riggs said that he is fine with it as long as Council is aware that there is the
possibility of a failure, through no one's fault, that it could not be published during the
publication timeframes, and then the City would have to start over.
Council Member Stigney said that in Section 504, sufficiency of the petition he is concerned
about because if the clerk administrator determines the petition does not meet the sufficiency
requirements, the petition and defects written shall be delivered to the sponsoring party and
Council within 10 days and then the petitioners get 21 days to re-file. He then said that the
language would allow someone to deliberateiy drag out the process to allow someone an
additiona121 days to obtain the correct number of signatures.
Mounds View City Council June 25, 2007
Regular Meeting Page 4
1 Council Member Stigney said that the point was to clean up the language and this section has not
2 been clarified. He then suggested adding a sentence stating that if the petition does not have the
3 required number of signatures then they will not be given additional time.

Mr. Thomas indicated that it would be difficult to legislate for that type of situation.
Council Member Stigney said that in the Flow Chart, in the third box it asks within 180 days to
deliver all the required information to the clerk administrator that references Section 506 and he
sees no correlation to the 180 days.
Mr. Thomas indicated that was a change that was made and that needs to be added to Section
506.
Council Member Stigney said that Section 505 should be clarified on petitions and measures. He
then said that the intent in the flow charts help clarify but he still has the concern about adding
language to clarify an option that the petition does not proceed through the process if it does not
have the right number of signatures.
Mayor Marty opened the public hearing.
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Continue the Public Hearing to the July 9, 2007 Council
Meeting.
Council Member Stigney would like to have Director Ericson's comments and concerns
reviewed and addressed.

D. Public Hearing to Consider Resolution 7092, Off Sale Intoxicating Liquor
License for Vino and Stogies Located at 2345 County Road H2
Chief Sommer explained the situation with the residence and the liquor store within the same
building.
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that it is recommended that the City approve a liquor license
with the conditions listed. He then read the conditions required, one of which was closing off the
interior access point from the residence to the liquor store portion of the structure.
1~ Robert Waste, owner of Vino and Stogies, explained that there is a back door behind the counter
18 of the liquor store that goes into a common area of the building with steps to a restroom and then
19 there is a locked door going to a store room and another locked door to the residence. He then
2o said that removing access would eliminate access to the circuit breakers and the restroom.
Mr. Waste provided the alarm records to the Council. He then said that it shows that they opened
and closed and there was no reentry into the liquor store on the night in question.
Mr. Waste reviewed the results of the alarm records with the explanation of the time
discrepancies due to the failure to reset the time on the keypad due to power failures.
City Administrator Ulrich asked if this covers the common area door.
Mr. Waste indicated that it does.
Hearing no public comments, Mayor Marty closed the public hearing at 8:10 p.m.
Council Member Mueller thanked Mr. Waste for the alarm system information. She then said
that on May 26, 2007 there are several opening and closings at an odd time of the day and she
would like an explanation as to why.
Mr. Waste explained that would come out to be a Sunday and sometimes he goes in, does
banking, leaves and comes back to fill the beer coolers.
Mr. Waste indicated now that he is aware of the timing situation he will know to reset the time if
there is a power outage.
Mayar Marly said that the Chief and the City Attorney spoke regarding this situation, and he is
comfortable with the Resolution closing off the interior access point.
Mounds View City Council June 25, 2007

2 Council Member Flaherty said that he was hoping that closing off the interior access points
3 would resolve this issue. He then said that he would like to see some kind of separation from the
4 residence and the liquor store. He further suggested considering another circuit breaker.
5
6 Mr. Waste indicated it would be almost impossible andlor very expensive.
~
8 Council Member Flaherty asked if Mr. Waste's brother has the code, key, or access to the liquor
9 store.
10
11 Mayor Marty said that this was not a one time occurrence at the property and it was advertised to
12 occur again.

17
18 Council Member Stigney said that Mr. Waste is aware that any further issues at the premise
19 address could result in a revocation.
20
21 Mayor Marty read Condition 1 which is that no further illegal conduct at the structure in which
22 the licensed premise is located, and Condition 2 further investigation by the City shall continue
23 as to any other illegal activities at the licensed premise. •
24
25 Council Member Flaherty said that he is willing to go along with this but he would like the Chief
26 to go in and verify the locks and access.
27
28 Mr. Waste agreed.
29
3o Mayor Marty asked whether it has been verified that the interior door to the common space is
31 alarmed.
32
33 Mr. Waste indicated that the three doors are all on the alarm system.
34
35 Council Member Mueller said that people have really been following this situation. She then
36 said that there is a lot of interest in this stozy. She further said that the establishment has past its
37 compliance checks and she is glad of that.
38
39 Council Member Mueller indicated that she is a landlord as well and it is difficult to control what
4o the occupant is doing in their private space. She then said that one thing she asked about was
41 whether there was a way to prove the space is secured and she is thankful for the alarm
42 information.
43
44 David Jahnke said that she (Council Member Mueller) works for a competitor of that liquor store •
45 and he would like a legal opinion as to whether this would be a conflict for her.
Mounds View City Council June 25, 2007
Regular Meeting Page 7
City Administrator Ulrich said that she does not have any direct financial gain from this so it
would not be a conflict.

F. Resolution 7100, Approving the Final Plat for the Subdivision of 8360 Long
Lake Road
Planner Heller reviewed the subdivision of 8360 Long Lake Road. This is a 1.5 acre parcel
proposed to be split into three lots of half an acre in size. This is zoned Rl and it would continue
to be zoned Rl.
Planner Heller indicated that the subdivision is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, there are
no wetlands on the property, and the local water management plan primarily indicates drainage
areas and building pad locations. She also indicated that easements are in place and existing
easements should not affect what new property owners would want to do.
32 Planner Heller indicated that the only difference in the Final Plat is that the title company found a
33 10 foot easement to NSP from 1975 that overlaps the 45 foot drainage easement but it is far
34 enough back and will be left in place.
35
36 Planner Heller indicated that all three lots front Long Lake Road. A park dedication fee wi11 be
37 based on 2/3 of the land value as there is one existing home on the lot. The amount has been
38 communicated to the Applicant and will need to be paid prior to signing off on the Final Plat.
39
40 Planner Heller explained that sewer pipes were installed fairly deep and there will need to be an
41 agreement among the three property owners and they will probably have to share a sewer
42 connection and public works is aware of if and will work with the new property owners.
43
• 44 Council Member Flaherty asked if the other two lots are sold.
45
Mounds View City Council June 25, 2007

2 sell each lot individually.

12 G. Resolution 7079, Approving the Purchase of a New Postage Machine
13
14 Assistant to the Administrator Crane outlined the quotes for the new postage machine for
15 Council. Staff explained that the quotes provided at the work session have changed because the
16 Post Office only makes a 10 pound and 30 pound scale and the 30 pound scale is very expensive.
17
18 Assistant to the Administrator Crane explained the quotes and noted that Staff would like to
19 purchase the machine from Minnesota Mailing Solutions as the City has been using Pitney
2o Bowes for over 10 years and Staff would like to use another company as they have had very poor
21 customer service from Pitney Bowes.
22
23 Council Member Stigney asked if Staff asked Minnesota Mailing Solutions to beat the quote. •
24
25 Assistant to the Administrator Crane said that she could do that but has spent a lot of time
26 negotiating already. She then said that Staff would be without a postage machine for a couple of
27 weeks if asked to delay.
28
29 Council Member Mueller said that it is difficult to meet or beat when the first company will not
3o specifically state what the price will be.
31
32 Council Member Mueller asked if this will be depreciated as a capital improvement.
33
34 Finance Director Beer indicated that is correct and it will depreciate about $800 per year.
35
36 Council Member Hull asked how many service calls there are per month.
37
38 Ms. Crane indicated it is at least once a week now.
39
4o Council Member Flaherty said that as soon as you start shopping quotes then people will not
41 quote you.
42
43 Council Member Mueller asked which unit the Staff would prefer.

Assistant to the Administrator Crane said that she would like to go with Minnesota Mailing
Solutions because, if she wants to add a piece of equipment to the one she has, she would only
have to buy it rather than going out for quotes.
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Flaherty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7079,
Approving the Purchase of a New Postage Machine from Minnesota Mailing Solutions as
Recommended by Staff.
Council Member Stigney said that, as a general rule, anytime you are looking at changing
something a call should be made to ask them to meet the quote or ask to lower the bid.
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that Staff would attempt to do so with any future contracts.

I. Resolution 7102, Authorizing Use of Neighborhood Dispute Services
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that the Police Department brought this up as an aiternative
dispute resolution service that can assist with neighborhood disputes.
Council Member Stigney said that in the Resolution it states that there is a contract in an amount
not to exceed $500.00. He is wondering if the City will have to pay the $500.00 if the services
are not needed.
City Administrator Ulrich said that it would be an hourly situation and not a retainer. He then
said that the amount is for approximately one session.
Council Member Stigney asked who would be asked to go to this session.
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that he would ask the owners and renters in this case.
Council Member Stigney said he would like them all there so that the mediation has a chance to
work. He then said that there have been violations and he would like to know if fines have been
paid.

1 Community Development Director Ericson indicated that Staff has notified the tenants that if •
2 they park in the yard they will be cited.
3
4 Council Member Stigney indicated that he would like a list of violations and a breakdown of the
5 ones that have been cited and paid and those that are still outstanding.
6
7 Council Member Hull said that he would like to know whether the actual owner has been
8 contacted.
9
lo Community Development Director Ericson indicated that Staff does not have their contact
11 information but Staff will research how to get in contact with them. He then said that the owners
12 may not be able to attend a mediation session but they will be invited and encouraged to attend.
13
14 Council Member Stigney said that he is curious as to why there are so many vehicles at the
15 location since Staff has explained that there can be two borders at the location.
16
17 Director Ericson said that Staff wi11 attempt to monitor the location and determine, as best as
18 possible, who is living at the location.
19
20 Council Member Flaherty said that this seems like it would be a good service. He then said that
21 there was someone who came to a meeting and suggested that neighbors talk to each other and
22 this would be a way to assist them with talking to each other.
23 •
24 Council Member Flaherty said that the cost for the services seems ambiguous and he would like
25 to clarify the amounts.
26
2~ David Jahnke said that he does not think that when this type of thing is going on that they will sit
28 down and discuss it. But, if they do, then he would be worried there would be retaliation.
29
30 Council Member Hull said that he does feel that this can work in some neighborhoods.
31
32 MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7102,
33 Authorizing Use of Neighborhood Dispute Services.
34
35 Council Member Mueller said that in other cities there is a fee to rent the building and that
36 includes a yearly inspection. She then said that she is disappointed that the permit to rent the
37 properly was limited to multifamily residences and did not include single family residences.
38
39 Council Member Mueller said that she could not support this for this particular instance but, she
4o does think that to free up officer time, she would like to utilize this service for other
41 neighborhood disputes. She then said that she does not think that it would work with this
42 situation because she does not think that they will come to the table to discuss it.
43
44 Community Development Director Ericson explained that the people renting the home are not •
45 related to the property owner.

6 than themselves.
7

9 and homeowners to the meeting.
i 10
11 Mayor Mariy withdrew his motion and directed Staff to add this to the work session discussion.

24 share of the project. Staff recommends awarding the contract to the low bidder for the seal coat
25 project.
Council Member Mueller said that there was some discussion about timing on this pxoject.
Public Works Director Lee said that this is at the upper end at about 8 years.
Council Member Mueller asked whether the City has done business with this low bidder.

for what they were collected for. She then said, for the record, the Council needs to weigh these
decisions and not take fund transfers lightly.
Mayor Marty said that he was under the impression that the City had already done this because it
was discussed by the Council. He then explained that this was $12,563 for a special roof
mounted air conditioner for the cable room to keep the cable equipment cool and it was
determined at that time that, since this was a cable necessity, the City would charge that to the
Cable Fund. He then said that he just recently discovered that Council had not taken action to do
so.
