Item Title/Subject: First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 936, an
Ordinance Continuing a Franchise Fee on Center Point
Energy Natural Gas Operations within the City of
Mounds View
Attached is an ordinance to receive an introduction and first reading. The public hearing,
second reading, and adoption will be on Monday, August 28, 2017. Notice of the public
hearing was published in the August 10, 2017 Sun Focus.
This ordinance continues the agreement with Center Point Energy under which Center
Point Energy will collect a franchise fee in the amount of 4% of Center Point's natural gas
gross operating revenues for services within the City of Mounds View during the year
2018.
Ordinance 625 passed on June 28, 1999 originally enacted the franchise agreement. It
provides that the City may impose a franchise fee of not more than 4% of Center Point's
gross operating revenues at any time through July 1, 2019. The franchise fee was first
collected in 2001.
It has been the practice to include a sunset provision in the ordinance requiring it to be

Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8803, Accepting Improvements and Approving Final
Payment for Municipal Well No. 1 Rehabilitation
Background:
The Public Works Engineering Division prepared plans and specifications in-house and solicited
quotes from seven (7) qualified well contractors, receiving five (5) quotes for rehabilitation of
Municipal Well No. 1. The low quote was submitted by Thein Well Company, Inc. of Spicer,
Minnesota.
At the March 27, 2017 City Council Meeting, the Council approved the quotes received and awarded
the well rehabilitation contract to Thein Well Company, Inc. (Resolution 8736).
Discussion:
Well rehabilitation of Municipal Well No. 1 was substantially completed on July 7, 2017.
Thein Well Company, Inc. has completed all work related to the rehabilitation of Municipal Well No. 1
in a satisfactory manner in accordance with the contract documents, and submitted all required
project documents.
The final invoice amount is $37,848.00, which is approximately $6,300 more than the quoted
amount, but still within the allotted contingency. The additional costs were associated with replacing
additional sections of line shaft pipe than originally estimated. The additional pipe was needed due to
the pipe already being turned once during the previous well rehabilitation and motor rehabilitation.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to accept the work associated
with rehabilitating Municipal Well No. 1 (City Project No. 2017-007) and release final payment of

Michael Richie, Public Works Project Coordinator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8809, Approving Additional Funding for the 2017 Sewer
Rehabilitation Project
Background:
On June 12, 2017, the City Council approved Resolution 8764, approving a construction
contract with Insituform Technologies USA, LLC., ("Insituform") for the 2017 Sewer
Rehabilitation Project. The project will line approximately 4,189 feet of sanitary sewer and
133 feet of storm sewer throughout Mounds View.
Discussion:
Public Works staff completed additional investigation of sanitary sewer pipe while the 2017
Sewer Rehabilitation Project was in the process of going out for bid. During the additional
investigation and cleaning, Public Works staff observed a break in the sanitary sewer pipe under
Greenfield Avenue between Woodale Drive and O'Connell Drive as well as under Silver Lake
Road between Woodcrest and County Road H. Staff also observed excessive infiltration into the
sanitary sewer under Sherwood Road between Groveland Drive and Red Oak Drive.
As a result, and after the project was awarded to Insituform, staff discussed the possibility of
adding these sections of sanitary main to the 2017 sewer rehabilitation project. Doing so would
reduce the potential for future emergency repairs and groundwater infiltration. Since Insituform
has not started the project, they agreed to the additional sewer lining. They also stated they
would maintain their unit prices for the additional 1,078 feet of 8" liner and 326 feet of 10" liner.
The awarded unit price for this work is $26.20 per linear foot of 8" liner and $30.80 per linear
foot of 10" liner. This would result in an additional cost of $43,293.00. The current contract
amount is $128,943.30. The 2017 Sanitary Sewer Fund (730-4823-7050) includes $150,000 for
sewer lining and $25,000 in the Storm Sewer Enterprise Fund (745-4415-5150) for this work.
The existing contingency of $12,900 (20%) will be reduced to $2,760 (2.1%). The table below
details the changes proposed by the additional work.

observed two pipe breaks and excessive groundwater infiltration in the sanitary sewer pipe; and,

The Mounds View Police Department launched several new programs in the
second quarter of 2017. The Department is rolling out our Body Worn Camera
program, has received overdose training and placed Narcan kits in all of our patrol
vehicles, and also placed "Mega Mover" drag bags in the squads to help reduce
injuries to officers and patients during lift assists. The Mounds View Police
Department answered 3416 calls for service from April through June, with our
leading crime continuing to be theft.
Bike with Police and Fire Event
On 7/13/17, the Mounds View Police was invited to bring in the rockwall to the
Ramsey County Library. We called our friends at the SBM Fire Department who
had helmets reserved for our residents and invited them to bring them to hand out.
An estimated 30 kids received new helmets or had their own helmets properly
fitted. The rockwall was a huge hit! Squad cars and fire trucks were climbed
through and thoroughly checked out. Police Chief Harder and Fire Chief Smith
read stories on bike safety and practiced their stop drop and roll! Our message for
kids is to always wear their helmets. Our officer's drive around looking to hand out
the best kind of ticket out there ... a free Dairy Queen ice cream cone ... to any kid
caught wearing their helmet.
SAVE Program
SAVE Program has been operating smoothly. Our participants enjoying seeing the
familiar faces of Officers involved in the program while they are out and about.
Eleven new members were added in May! The relationship with this community
and the police has been growing closer and we very much look forward to the
continued bond. More education events are planned for the fall.
Heartsafe
On 5/10/17 the Police Department was invited in to the Adult Education Center
and trained 33 people on CPR and AED use. Members from the Survivors
Network of MN and SBM Fire Department assisted during this training. In lieu of
a video, officers, survivors, and fire personnel demonstrated CPR in acted out
scenarios in order to properly educate the learners. The training was challenging
and fun! This brings the city another step closer to our HeartSafe designation.
On 5/22/17, Brice Bloxham of Mounds View and Raquel Wittkowske of Blaine
were trained as team members for this program. They will be assisting in future
training events.
Other Youth Outreach Events
The Mounds View Police Department used our mobile rockwall to reach youth at
10 different events in the last quarter to include: CPY (Community Partners with
Youth), Mounds View School District ALC, Pinewood School, new Americans
event with the Karen (Burma) community and Maplewood PD, several area church
events with youth.
School Resource Officer (SRO):
The 2016 — 2017 school year has come to a close at Edgewood Middle School.
Students have made it through another year, and we wish the Bch grade students
good luck as they transition into high school.
Incidents at the middle school this quarter requiring law enforcement intervention
were again kept to a minimum. A proactive approach this quarter by staff, as the
school year drew to a close, made a difference in preventing incidents. There were
only a couple of missing/lost cell phones reported this quarter, all of which were
recovered and returned to the students. There was only one Disorderly incident
reported, one Harassment incident, one Fraud incident report (turned over to an
outside agency), and three other Juvenile incidents which were handled through the
school, along with parents and the school district.
Also in April, SRO Kirk Leitch attended the Pinewood Community Resource Fair
on behalf of the MVPD and Edgewood Middle School. SRO Leitch also met with
5th graders at Pinewood Elementary, who will be coming to Edgewood Middle
School in the fall of 2017 as 6t1i graders, and presented to them on bullying and
harassment.
In May, Officer Erickson and his K-9 Partner Niko again returned to Edgewood, in
order to give another presentation to the Dogs and Careers Class. Their
presentation was again followed by a demonstration of their skills, with SRO Kirk
Leitch as their "bite assistant." The presentation was yet again fun and enjoyable
for all of the students. CSO Ismail Omar also assisted with Edgewood Middle
School Phy-Ed classes in May during their bicycle unit. CSO Omar along with
SBM Fire worked with students on bicycle safety, rules, and riding skills.
There were also many activities this last quarter at the school, including several
choir and band concerts, along with academic and awards banquets. Spring sports
eventually came to a close, and students enjoyed their yearend class celebrations
for all of their hard work this school year.
School safety and security always remains a priority at Edgewood Middle School,
especially as the school year comes to a close.
Congratulations on another successful school year!! The MVPD hopes that all
students, parents, and staff have a fun and safe summer!!
