RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA
Clerk /Administra-
There were no residents requests or comments from
the floor.
Bootsie Anderson, of the North Suburban Cable Commis-
sion addressed the Council concerning local access
programming, stating she felt it was better put in
the hands of a non profit organization, as it has not
worked out with the franchise.
Mayor Linke asked if there had been any luc, in get-
ting the financial documents from the cable company.
Ms. Anderson replied there had not, but they do have
an idea of the budget figures. She added the auditors
are working with the figures. She also reported several
lobbyists had been hired by the cable company, and
they are in the process of contacting the Councils of
the cities involved, as well as for the entire system.
Mayor Linke directed Staff to prepare a resolution
and place in on the September 19 agenda for discussion,
with action to be taken at the September 26 meeting.

Regular Meeting
Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened
the first public hearing at 7:10 PM.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed the process that
was followed in developing the budget. He explained
the budget is limited to what the State Legislature
allows, plus whatever revenues can be generated by
the City in license fees and so forth.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained the purpose of
the public hearing is to receive input from the
residents on the proposed budget.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed the revenues
planned, explaining the proposed budget would result
in a decrease from 16.7 to 13.4 in mill rate, however,
they cannot give a fixed number until they receive
final input from the County. The majority of revenue
will be from intergovernmental revenue and property
taxes.
Expenditures are planned at a 20 percent increase, or
$424,924, which includes the addition of one policeman,
one public works /maintenance person, snow plowing for
the entire City, and a vehicle and equipment replace-
ment program.
Councilmember Hankner inquired how much is currently
spent on clean -up day. Clerk /Administrator Pauley
replied it is approximately $5,000.
Councilmember Hankner stated she had had an increasing
number of people talk to her about clean -up day
and problems with cars in yards without licenses, and
old appliances, and so forth, and she suggested shift-
ing funds in the budget to enable people to get rid of
large items, though not necessarily cars.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained a second clean -up
day in the fall would not solve the problem, and he
noted people are not willing to pay the cost of dispos-
ing of large items, and will sometimes dump them else-
where, where they still have to be picked up by the City.
Councilmember Hankner requested that this be looked at
further.
Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, advised that he has
seen ads in weekly shopper type papers that advertise
appliance dealers who will pick up appliances from homes,
whether they work or not.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the
regular meeting at 7:30 PM.

Regular Meeting Page Three
Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened the
second public hearing at 7:30 PM.
City Planner Herman reviewed the proposed additions
to Chapter 40, to allow for pet stores, which had not
been covered by the Code. She read the conditions
that would apply, which are similar to those placed
on the veterinary clinic.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 7:32 and
reopened the regular meeting.
Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened the
third public hearing at 7:32 PM.
City Planner Herman explained the conditions set in
the conditional use permit are the same as those just
reviewed for the Code amendment in the previous
public hearing. She added the conditional use permit
would not be allowed until the ordinance has been
approved with both readings.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened
the regular meeting at 7 :34 PM.
Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened
next public hearing Al 7'34 PM_
City Planner Herman clarified the location of the
existing Amoco station.
Jim Phillipi, of North Star Engineering, representing
Amoco Oil Company, reviewed their proposal for adding
a car wash to the existing facility, and he reviewed
the site plan, covering parking, stacking and signage.
Mr. Phillipi stated he had gone through the Staff
report and the only question he has concerns the re-
quirement for blowers. He explained that with the
minute cycle time, and the length of driveway
before cars would exit onto the roadway, they did not
feel there would be a problem with water dripping off
the cars.
Mayor Linke asked if there were any drainage problems
with the car wash next door. City Planner Herman
replied she had checked with the engineer, and there
were not.
Councilmember Hankner asked if there would be a problem
with raising the level of rust in water in the residential
areas with the increased use of water in that area.

Mr. Phillipi replied there should not be, as they
would only be using a 12" water service, and using
18 gallons per cycle.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley added the water main that
services the area does not get to the residential
area until after is passes Amoco. He added there is
not a build up problem there, and the 18 gallons per
cycle would not be a significant increase in what is
used already with all the surrounding businesses.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 7:41 PM.
Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened the 11. Public

Mayor Linke questioned why the retainagewasonly
$5,000, orabout 1 percent of the total project cost.
He added when he had last looked at the punch list
a week ago, there were many things to be completed
still.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained the $5,000 is
only a portion of this current statement, rather than
the total billing. He added he understood all the
punch items were taken care of, and that many items
were not the responsibility of the contractor, but
of others, such as the County. He added the City is
required to pay the billing within a certain amount
of time.
Motion /Second: Linke /Quick to approve pay estimate
No. 7 in the amount of $35,067.61 to C. W. Houle for
County Road I improvements, to be charged to the
County Road I project account, contingent upon Staff
checking with the engineer to insure the work has
been completed.

City Planner Herman verified the development agree-
ment would also be included, along with the conditional
use permit, and it would also list the three conditions
stipulated in the conditional use permit, as well as
reverify the six minute cycle time for the car wash.
Mr. Phillipi asked the Council to consider eliminating
the requirement for the blower system, as he feels
that between the extended cycle time and distance to
the roadway, there would not be a problem.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she feels the blower
is important.

Motion: Linke to approve Resolution No. 2374,
approving the development request by Amoco Oil Company,
2155 Highway Avenue, Planning Case No. 241 -88, and
waive the reading.
The motion failed for lack of a second.
Mayor Linke asked the Council if they would like to
make another motion concerning the development request.
No other motion was made.
Chris Christofec, of Amoco Oil Company, asked why there
had been no second to the motion, or another motion made.
Mayor Linke stated it is up to the individual Council
members.
There was no comment from the Council.
Attorney Karney recommended Mr. Christofec take the
matter up with the City Planner. He added they had
not denied the request, nor had they approved it.
Mr. Christofec stated the Council was denying them the
opportunity to go ahead with their development. He
stated they have met with the City numerous times, week
after week, and have met the requirements of the Code
and the City, and yet are getting nowhere. He added
he does not want to argue, yet this has been very
expensive for them, and he again asked for an explanation
from the Council as to why no second had been made.
There again was no response from the Council.
Attorney Karney stated the question could not be answered
tonight and he again advised that Staff be contacted
for an explanation.
City Planner Herman reported she had discussed this
matter with the City Attorney. She drew a sketch of
the property and reviewed the request of the applicant
for a minor subdivision. She further added the
Planning Commission has recommended denial, as it is
not in conformance with the Code.
Motion /Second: Wuori /Hankner to approve Resolution
No. 2375, denying the minor subdivision request by
Richard Oman, 8205 Groveland Road, Planning Case No.

val of the minor subdivision granted in July for
W. E. Rosenquist, 8380 Spring Lake Road. She explained
it was necessitated by the County's requirement that
the lot be replatted.
Motion /Second: Blanchard /Quick to approve Resolutiot.
No. 2380, reapproving the minor subdivision for W. E.
Rosenquist, 8380 Spring Lake Road, and waive the reading.
5 ayes 0 nays
Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained this request for
the installation of a street light was directly across
from a dedicated road right -of -way, and based on
Staff's review, they would not recommend installation
as it is too close to other lights, and the Police
have no record of a significant number of problems to
justify this placement, on the basis of concerns for
safety.
Tom Gresher, 2508 Hillview, stated he has had nine
acts of theft or vandalism on this property since he
moved in in 1972, and he reviewed those occurances.
He stated not all were reported to the Police, but he
feels a light there would help deter further acts of
vandalism or theft. He explained with the easement
that is there, it is easy for a person to run
either way in total darkness. He added he had
someone come to his door in the middle of the night
once and threaten him, but it was too dark to be able
to get his license number. He added his neighbors
are in favor of the street light also.
Councilmember Hankner stated she supports this request,
as she feels lighting on Hillview would be helpful
and would discourage vandalism.
Barry Clark, 2504 Hillview, stated he has had problems,
and even had someone hiding in the shed in his back
yard that the Police were looking for.

advantageous location on the power pole.

Councilmember Hankner stated they are getting to the
point with street light requests that they should make
sure the study that has been talked about for so long is
done now.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied the study has been
assigned to Public Works Director Minetor, but further
planning must be done before the study can be done. He
stated they must adopt a policy, then Staff must develop
a plan for placement and program for installation over
a period of time. He added that lights are now going
up by petition, and a change in policy would have them
placed at predetermined locations throughout the City.
Councilmember Hanker stated with more requests coming
in all the time, Staff should get started on this now.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated he had told Mr.
Minetor to gee. the current policy updated. It was
agreed the issue would be discussed further at
a future agenda session.
Tim Nelson, of Everest Development, presented site
plans for Building F and reviewed the minor changes
they're rEquesting from the PUD. He explained escava-
tion work would be doubled up, to be completed for

occurring.
Mounds View City Council September 12, 1988
Regular Meeting Page Ten
City Planner Herman responded that she is in the pro-
cess of checking abandoned properties out now, and will
compile a list and check with the owners on their
intentions.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated that if the owner
has no plans, they will check with County authorities
and the City Attorney concerning condemnation proceed-
ings.
Attorney Karney outlined the options that are available.
He added it is difficult to get property condemned if
it is considered habitable.
Councilmember Hankner reported fast traffic is increas-
ing on Quincy and apparently not stopping for the stop
signs, and she asked if it was possible to get the speed
limit around the school reduced.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated he would check with
the Police Chief and City Engineer. He also advised
that a study would have to be done of existing traffic
and they could actually be required to increase the
speed, depending on what the existing traffic is doing.
Councilmember Hankner asked if trees or shrubs could
be placed between Pinewood Drive and County Road I,
3
along County Road I, to serve as a sight or sound
barrier. She requested the matter be looked into
further by Staff.
Councilmember Hankner reported the crosswalk at Silver
Lake Road and County Road H has not been painted in,
and she had talked to Public Works Director Minetor,
who told her it would be done. She also suggested
the placement of a stoplight at that intersection be
considered, as Sunnyside School is close by.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied the County has non
programmed plans for placement of stoplights at
various intersections along Silver Lake Road.
Councilmember Hankner asked if the air raid sirens
were working. Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied they
are all working now.
Councilmember Hankner expressed dissatisfaction with
errors in the New Brighton Bulletin's coverage of the
last Council meeting, specifically in stating that the
watering ban was still in effect, when it was not.
Mayor Linke explained the article was correct, in that
it was reporting the August 22 Council meeting, and the
ban had still be in effect at that time.

Councilmember Hankner reported the problem with brown
water at Raymond Drive, in Everest opening the mains,
will hopefully be solved when the lines are flushed later
this month.
Councilmember Wuori asked if the problem will continue
as more development occurs.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied it would not. He
explained this was Lhe result of the installation of
the loop connection from the water main on Quincy,
which involved shutting down the system and then start-
ing it up, which resulted in a surge. He added the
system would not need to be shut down again.
Councilmember Wuori reported the Planning Commission
has requested Clerk /Administrator Pauley attend their
October 5 meeting, to swear in the two new members of
the Planning Commission.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated the swearing in was
a formality, not a legality, and he stated that while
he would do it if directed by the Council, that would
be taking time from his family on a night he devotes
to them, and he would prefer not to.
Mayor Linke stated it is normally done just be signing
the oath of office, and it can continue that way.
Councilmember Quick had no report.
Councilmember Blanchard had no report.
Mayor Linke requested a letter be sent to the School
District, thanking them on behalf of the City for their
cooperation in the installation of the stoplight at
County Road I and Quincy.
Mayor Linke reported it is being considered to install
a meter on the ramp from County Road I to 35W south,
and he does not feel it is necessary, and he has directed
Public Works Director Minetor to get ahold of the proper
officials to tell them so.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley reported it is part of the
overall plan of MnDOT to address the problems further
south on 35W. He added Staff would send a letter if
the Council desires.
