Administrator Zikmund Next Work Session: Monday, May 7, 2018 at 6:30 pm Next City Council Meeting: Monday, April 9, 2018 at 6:30 pm Item No: 01 MOUNDT �T Meeting Date: April 2, 2018 S VfE-W Type of Business: Work Session Administrator review: �L City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Brian Beeman, Business Development Coordinator Item Title/Subject: Discuss "The Triton" Housing Project Introduction: Newport Midwest, LLC is partnering with Journey Home MN to create 61 units of affordable housing including four units set aside for military veterans and their families at 4889 Old Highway 8 at the Skyline Motel site. Newport envisions a four-story "L" -shaped structure with underground parking as well as a small surface parking lot. All units will be affordable to individuals and families with incomes at or below 50% of AMI. 57 units will be less than or equal to 50% AMI and 4 units will be less than or equal to 30% AMI. The developer has submitted an application for a Housing TIF to the City in order to meet the gap in financing the project. If the Council is supportive of this project, the developer has requested that the City Council approve both preliminary concept approval of the overall project and approval of the City's intent to pursue Housing TIF, subject to all applicable laws. The developer has also requested a letter of support similar to what the City did for MWF Properties. Their projected TIF request will be $375,000 for 15 years. They must submit their MHFA application for 9% Tax Credits by June 14, 2018. Last year, Business Development Coordinator, Brian Beeman and Blake Huffman met with the owners of BioClean who would like to do an expansion, and to Bauer Welding who is requesting access for their trucks onto Old Hwy 8. Newport is willing to work with these local businesses to accommodate their needs. Newport is also asking if the City owned low land adjacent to Towns Edge Terrace Mobile Home Park can be used as part of the development for water retention. This would allow room for BioClean to do their expansion project. The project will not happen without the Council's support for both TIF and a rezoning. Background: Journey Home MN and Newport Midwest met with Business Coordinator Brian Beeman in 2017 to introduce their project. Since that time, the developer has negotiated a purchase agreement which is in effect until the end of 2018. The developer is cooperating with the surrounding businesses to allow them access and/or expansion space. The adjacent businesses are in support of the project. The owner will be a for-profit entity and therefore the project will generate property taxes. Discussion: Hear a presentation by Newport & Journey Home MN. Discuss the project, financing, zoning, overall concept and layout, and provide feedback to the developer and City staff on the Council's desires for or against the project. City Planner Sevald will review the zoning and Ehler's will review the TIF run. Recommendation: Hear and discuss the developer presentation and overall project both pros' & cons' then provide City staff direction. If the Council decides by consensus that the project should move forward, agrees to a change in the zoning, and is generally supportive of pursuing TIF then staff will place the Resolution, Letter of Support, and preliminary TIF run on the April 23, 2018 Council meeting for consideration. The timing in the approval of these documents is necessary in order to include the documents in the Tax Credit application before the June 14, 2018 deadline.

Mounds View, MN 55112 www.moundsviewmn.ore April 9, 2018 Minnesota Housing Finance Agency 400 Sibley Street, Suite 300 St. Paul, MN 55101-1998 RE: Letter of Support for Newport Midwest, LLC & Journey Home Minnesota The City of Mounds View is supportive of Newport Midwest, LLC & Journey Home Minnesota's application for Minnesota Housing Tax Credits to construct a 61 -unit apartment building (the "Project") for affordable housing. The City intends to undertake the process of establishing a Tax Increment Financing district supporting the Project, including a 15 -year TIF Note in an amount up to $375,000 in principal to address an estimated funding gap for the Project. The City will process the TIF application pursuant to all applicable laws and rules. Mounds View is located in the northwest corner of Ramsey County, at the convergence of US Highway 10 and Interstate 35W. The City's Population (2015) is 12,914. The City is nearly built out, and is characterized by single- family homes on large lots, with scattered site multi -family apartment complexes and businesses located along the Mounds View Boulevard corridor. The proposed project is located along Old Hwy 8 and Mustang Drive. The neighborhood is characterized by a mix of mobile homes and industrial businesses along Mustang Drive. The project is two blocks from the Mermaid MTC transit stop connecting downtown Minneapolis and approximately three blocks from the MTC transit stop connecting downtown St. Paul, MN. Edgewood Middle School is one mile away, Irondale High School, approximately 1.3 miles, and Sunnyside Elementary School, a 12 minute walk from the proposed housing development with a nearby walking trail. In 2016, the City completed a paved trail along Mounds View Boulevard with connections to the existing restaurants, library, City Hall, and shopping & entertainment areas. The trail also crosses over 1-35W from Mounds View, MN to Arden Hills, MN on the eastern edge of town, connecting to the planned 427 -acre Rice Creek Commons site (TCAAP) and the Rice Creek Regional Trail. School -aged residents of the proposed 60 -unit apartment project will attend school in the highly -regarded Mounds View School District (ISD 621), which includes Pinewood Elementary, Edgewood Middle and Irondale High schools. These schools include two teachers nominated by Education Minnesota for Teacher of the Year (2017). In addition, ISD 621 produced ten National Merit Scholars in the 2015/2016 school year. Within Mounds View, major employers (and number of employees) include Medtronic (4,100), Sysco (470), MultiTech Systems (200), Midwest Medical Systems (142) and Allina Ambulance (140). Other employment corridors, such as Central & University Avenues, and the US Highway 10, 1-35W, and 1-694 triangle, are located in neighboring cities. Mounds View is a community of neighborhoods, quality schools, places of worship, and convenient access to interstates. It is our desire that the residents of this workforce housing project will remain in the City of Mounds View and continue to be a part of our community as the families' incomes increase above the median income eligibility thresholds.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City of Mounds View Economic Development Authority, that the recitals and exhibits, if any, set forth in this Resolution are incorporated into and made a part of this Resolution Resolution 17 -EDA -XXX Page 2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Mounds View Economic Development Authority does hereby support the Project subject to final determination by the City Council in its sole discretion of Project eligibility, statutory requirements, public hearings and required reviews, public input, and without surrendering its legislative discretion. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City of Mounds View Economic Development Authority supports the creation of a Tax Increment Financing district for the Project, including a 15 -year TIF Note in an amount up to $375,000 in principal, to address a funding gap for the Project. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the City of Mounds View Economic Development Authority hereby authorizes City staff and City consultants to work on Tax Increment Financing assistance for the Project upon receipt of a complete TIF application from Newport Midwest, LLC and non-profit partner Journey Home for the Project. Adopted this 9th day of April, 2018 Carol A. Mueller, EDA President ATTEST: Nyle Zikmund, EDA Executive Director (seal) Memo To: Brian Beeman, Business Development Coordinator City of Mounds View From: Jason Aarsvold and James Lehnhoff, Ehlers Date: March 29, 2018 Subject: The Triton Apartments TIF Request Newport Midwest LLC, (the "Developer") submitted a request to the City of Mounds View (the "City") for $350,000 in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance to construct 61 new affordable apartment units at 4889 Old Highway 8 (Skyline Hotel Site). The $15.7 million project includes a mix of 1, 2, and 3 -bedroom units. The Developer is currently requesting a resolution of support from the City Council to supplement its application to Minnesota Housing for an allocation of Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The tax credits will provide most of the funding for the project. The Developer's numbers are still preliminary and shifting as of the date of this memorandum. Ehlers did, however, conduct a thorough review of the Developer's current pro forma based on industry standards for total development costs, financing structure, revenue and operating expenses. Based on the results of the pro forma analysis, the project does demonstrate a funding gap of at least $350,000. This preliminary review establishing a gap in the project is sufficient to proceed with a resolution of support for TIF in the requested amount. We recommend, however, that if the project receives its tax credit funding, that there is an analysis of the final numbers. This would happen before creating a TIF district and entering into an agreement with the Developer to provide TIF assistance. Tax Increment The requested $350,000 of TIF assistance represents approximately 2% of total project costs. Depending on the project type, TIF assistance for LIHTC projects is commonly in the range of 4-10% of total project costs. This project is also seeking other outside funding and is doing some additional fundraising, which is limiting the need for TIF assistance. The City would provide TIF assistance on a "pay-as-you-go" basis with interest at the lesser of 5.25% or the developer's actual financing rate. Based on our tax increment projections for this project, we estimate this assistance could be repaid within 10 to 11 years.

AW Item No: 02 A. Meeting Date: April 2, 2018 Type of Business: Work Session Administrator review: a City of Mounds View Staff Re ort OF - To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Brian Beeman, Business Development Coordinator Item Title/Subject: Discuss Norhart Homes Market Rate Apartment Proposal Introduction: Norhart Homes is a company who has apartment's buildings in Forest Lake and Blaine. The Blaine apartments are called the Emberwood Apartments and the proposed Mounds View apartments would be similar. The company started small and has become more sophisticated by growing into constructing larger multi -family apartment structures. Background: Norhart Homes met with City staff and discussed their ideas to build two higher end apartment projects in Mounds View. If the City allows the developer to build at the Arden Park site then the developer is committing to improving the trail system, constructing a dog run, and allowing a space for public parking to serve like a trail head. Please see the Legacy Apartments Letter. (Attached) The developer is proposing an approximately 180 unit Class A 4 -story apartment building with heated underground parking, in -unit washer & dryer, private balcony, granite countertops, modern shaker style cabinets a walk-in closet in all master bedrooms, fiber optics for smart home technologies, a central space for a large work out facility, yoga studio, on-site staffing office, lounge area, fireplace, and game room. The outdoor amenities include a hot tub, grilling area, and lounge space, dog run, car wash and pet wash in underground heated garage. The exterior will be constructed of high quality materials, privacy fence along the back and side of the property to act as a buffer for the nearby neighborhood and park, on site indoor storage available, advanced package management system for tenants. They would offer competitive pricing to compete with similar luxury -style apartments in the surrounding area. Discussion: Hear a presentation (attached) by Newhart Homes concerning their proposal to construct two apartment buildings. Their first choice for location is the five parcels east of the Bel - Rea, however they have run into some resistance from property owners. Their second location is in and around Arden Park. The developer will provide more details during the Worksession. The developer may be asking for a public subsidy. This could be in the form of a land write-down, TIF, Tax Abatement, or some combination thereof. Recommendation: Hear and discuss the developer presentation and overall project both pros' & cons' then provide City staff direction. If the Council decides by consensus that the project should move forward and is generally supportive of relocating or eliminating the compost site then staff will work on a preliminary development agreement for the Arden Park site. The developer has indicated that he may request TIF for the project. If the Council is generally supportive of using TIF for this project then staff will move forward in obtaining a financial analysis from Ehler's. In the meantime, Jon Sevald and Don Peterson will begin the relocation or elimination or contacting Ramsey County to redirect residents to the existing compost site across 1-35 in Arden Hills. The Council should consider: 1) Is this a good project, meaning is this the highest and best use for Arden Park and does the Council support repurposing the current City land use? 2) Where do we relocate the compost site or do we redirect residents to the County operated Arden Hills site? Is a compost pile needed and what value do we place on compost? As an example, if the estimated market value for this project were $14 million dollars then according to Ramsey County calculations, the total multi -unit apartment property tax could be approximately $256,215.63 annually for the Mounds View area. Respectfully submitted, PVAOO---- Brian Beeman, Business Development Coordinator Attachment(s): 1) Legacy Apartments Letter 2) Legacy Apartments Presentation March 16th, 2018 Mr. Brian Beeman City of Mounds View - Planning Department 2401 County Hwy 10 Mounds View, MN 55112 Matter: Legacy Apartments, Proposed Apartment Development Ardan Park Area, Multifamily Lot Long Lake Road & Ardan Avenue in Mounds View Dear Mr. Beeman, We are excited for the opportunity to present an apartment development project to the City of Mounds View. Our newest project, Legacy Apartments, aims to be a modern, amenity rich building that can attract a variety of potential residents to the Mounds View area. We hope to honor the legacy of our founder, Ed Kaeding, and continue the great work he started when he began building apartments many decades ago. Our company has been dedicated to creating a better way for our residents to live and help the people in our communities to thrive. For example: • Our first project in Blaine, Emberwood Apartments, has the highest reviews of any multifamily building in the entire Blaine area with more than one review • In a joint effort with our residents, we have raised thousand of dollars to help fight against homelessness by partnering with Stepping Stone Emergency Housing • We have promoted other local businesses in the Twin Cities metro area, including some restaurants in which we sponsor gift cards for our tenants to enjoy food over the holiday season • As a company, we have been featured in area papers such as the Forest Lake Times and Finance & Commerce for our work in the community as well as our efforts to develop and implement smart home technology for the apartment market Below is a summary of what our project can offer to the community: • 180 units of Class A type apartments • 4 -story building in addition to a heated underground parking facility • A mix of unit types; Approximately 18% Studio, 40% 1 -Bedroom, 28% 2 -Bedroom, and 14% 3 - Bedroom • Building will be constructed over two years beginning the first phase in a 'T ' shape, housing a lobby at the center of the building, and ending with the second phase adding a straight extension to the north end • All 2 and 3 -bedroom units will have two bathrooms • Each unit will have their own washer and dryer • Each unit will have a private balcony space • Interior unit amenities will consist of granite countertops, modern shaker style cabinets, luxury vinyl plank floors, modern white trim work with neutral walls, central heat and air conditioning, spacious closets including a walk-in closet in every master bedroom • Units will be equipped with top of the line fiber optic lines for gigabit internet • Smart home technologies will be incorporated in to the units featuring smart thermostats, light switches, outlets and door locks • Two story central amenity space will consist of a large work out facility, yoga studio, on-site staffing office, lounge area, fireplace, and game room • An impressive outdoor area with a hot tub, grilling area, and lounge space • An outdoor dog run area • A car wash and pet wash in our underground heated garage • Exterior design will consist of a variety of high quality materials • Privacy fence along the back and side of the property to act as a buffer for the nearby neighborhood and park • On site indoor storage available • Advanced package management system for tenants We would offer competitive pricing to compete with similar luxury -style apartments in the surrounding areas. Our project would also provide a similar number of amenities and events compared to these apartments. In addition to constructing our apartment, we would be happy to help improve the neighboring areas. At the moment, the wetland to the southeast has very little use outside of aesthetic appeal, but we would be willing to build some amenity and paths throughout the area. The paths would be made of a crushed stone or wood chip material that could be built over the wetland. This improvement would potentially be integrated into the trail system in Mounds View through a connection with our proposed Ardan Park property or the dead end to the south on Woodlawn Drive. We look forward to meeting with the city staff this coming Monday, April 2"d. A lot of thought and consideration was taken in the design of this building. We toured dozens of high end properties in the downtown and south metro areas for inspiration. Together, with city staff, we know that we can produce a project that would provide the first luxury apartments in the city of Mounds View and produce them in a way in which the city will feel proud to have.

Arden Park consists of a Yard Waste drop off site for use by Ramsey County residents. If the park is to be repurposed, consideration should be given to the relocation of the yard waste drop-off. DISCUSSION Arden Park has been used as a yard -waste drop off site since 19841, and collects leaves, grass, garden waste, and organics. The City and Ramsey County maintain an agreement for its operation. Ramsey County operates seven collection sites. Other than Mounds View, the nearest sites are in Arden Hills and White Bear Township. Both of these sites are larger and collect branches, and dirt/sod (White Bear). The Yard Waste area at Arden Park includes a fenced area approximately 200' by 225' (0.8 acres) with two entrance points. When busy, Long Lake Road is used for car stacking. The Arden Hills site is located at Tony Schmidt Regional Park, and includes about 1.3 acres, with a % mile dead-end road used for car stacking (one access). The White Bear site is located on county land, and includes about 4.8 acres, with a 250' driveway. Sherwood Rd (Co Rd 4) is used for car stacking (one access). Referring to the three above sites as guidelines, options (good & bad) investigated by Staff for relocating the Yard -Waste site are attached. This is a work in progress, as there is no clear solution of relocated the yard waste site within the City. Staff has discussed with Ramsey County Parks if county land is available near the DMV/MnDOT Truck Station on Co Rd I. Use of this parkland is restricted to recreational uses, by covenants when acquired from TCAAP. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council consider the highest and best use for Ardan Park, whether that be as a Yard Waste site, a residential use, or a recreational use. The yard waste site at Ardan Park has been an amenity and convince to Mounds View and Ramsey County residents for many years. However, there are better uses for park land. It is Staff's opinion that yard waste (grass, leaves, and organics) can be accommodated by resident's waste haulers without a subsidy by the City (i.e. land). If redevelopment of Ardan Park for residential use can be accommodated with public amenities (e.g. trails, etc), this would maintain the use of the land as park land.

This extension will allow Staff time to work on current projects, and to continue to work on the Comprehensive Plan as time allows. In order for an extension to be granted, the Metropolitan Council requires a formal request accompanied by a resolution. Approval of a resolution will be requested at the April 9th City Council meeting. Recommendation: No action is required at this time.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Please provide explanation of the planning issues checked on the previous page. Include a realistic appraisal of your community's ability to submit your updated plan for review by indicated deadline, as well as the subsequent review/amendment of fiscal devices and official controls. Mounds View Staff had initially planned in 2016 to write the Comprehensive Plan in-house, and to use a consultant for mapping. Due to considerable staff turnover in 2017 and increased workload, Staff was not able to maintain an internal schedule, necessitating an expanded role by consultants. Additionally, we are attempting to increase public outreach, requiring additional time. Currently (spring 2018) the City has been presented with multiple redevelopment plans, stretching our staff capacity to conduct proper reviews. An extension by the Metropolitan Council for submitting the Comprehensive Plan will allow Staff time to conduct current planning, and more time to consider how these proposed changes may impact the pending 2020-2040 Comprehensive Plan. The alternative is to conduct a quick -update of the 2010-2030 Comprehensive Plan, with the intention of amending it in 2019 as redevelopment applications are submitted to the City.

The road maintenance will consist of milling the current pavement to a depth of 2 inches and re -surface with new asphalt. Ramsey County will re - stripe with the following: • County Road H2 to County Road I, the striping layout proposed will have 11 foot drive lanes, 11 foot center turning lanes, 8.5 foot bike lane on both the East and West sides of the road. No Parking on either side. • County Road I to Eastwood Road, the striping layout proposed will have 11 foot drives lanes, 7 foot bike lanes both on the East and West side, and 8 foot parking on the East side. There will be no parking on the West side of Long Lake Road. • Eastwood Road to County Road J, the striping layout proposed with have 11 foot drive lanes, with a 5 foot reaction zone on each side. There will be No Parking on either sides of the roads. The County will be placing a new trail segment on the North side of Long Lake Road from Eastwood Road to County Road J. The County will also be installing a right turn lane from Long Lake Road to Airport Road. Ramsey County is requesting that the City Council approve, with a resolution, No Parking on the West side of Long Lake Road from County Road I to Eastwood Road and No Parking on both sides of the street from Eastwood Road to County Road J. Ramsey County will host a community meeting for Wednesday, April 11 from 5:00-6:30 pm at the Mounds View Community Center to discuss the project. Further Discussion: In the past several years, there have been three water main breaks at the intersection of Long Lake Road and Hillview Road; Staff is proposing that the water main be replaced during Ramsey County's project. Staff reviewed the history of the water main breaks and considered the condition of the infrastructure along with the expenses to repair the road after each event it would be financially beneficial to replace the water main in conjunction with the County's project. Stantec has provided an estimate of $49,425 for water main replacement and pavement rehabilitation. Public Works will be coordinating with Ramsey County in the timing of the water main replacement in order to reduce the costs. The goal would be to have the water main replaced just prior to the mill and overlay and asking the County to include the asphalt restoration with their project. Cost for the water main replacement, without asphalt restoration, is $30,250. Funding would be from Water Infrastructure, account 700-4823-7050, to include a 2018 budget adjustment. Recommendation: Ramsey County is seeking Council's support for a City Resolution for no parking on the East side of Long Lake Road; Staff will bring this forward to the April 23, 2018 meeting. Staff is requesting that Council approve replacing the water main at Long Lake Road and Hillivew Road with that also being brought forward to the April 23, 2018 meeting.

Pedestrian curb updates will also take place and the road will be restriped to add bike lanes. As a result, parking will be removed on the east side of the roadway. There will be no cost to property owners for this project. This project may take up to eight weeks. Driveway access will be maintained throughout the resurfacing. County Road H2 to County Road I Currently, this section of the roadway contains two drive lanes in each direction. The roadway will be restriped to include one travel lane in each direction, a painted median or turn lane and a bike lane on each side of the roadway. County Road I to Eastwood Road The existing roadway has a drive lane in each direction with parking lane on either side. During construction, the road will be restriped to add a bike lane on the west side of the road and remove parking on the west side. Drive lanes will also be maintained. Eastwood Road to 93rd Lane/County Road J The existing roadway includes a drive lane in each direction with a gravel shoulder on each side. Drive lanes will be maintained in each direction. The gravel shoulders will be replaced with new, smooth asphalt. A detached, paved path is being proposed to connect the sidewalk at Long Lake and Eastwood roads with the paved trail along County Road J. Bike Lane Information The striping changes and new bike lanes on the roadway reflect the goals of the Ramsey County's Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan to make the community walkable and bikable for people of all ages and abilities. Bike lanes will assist in creating a safe transportation system for bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists. The benefits of bike lanes Bike lanes provide a separated and designated travel space in the roadway. This is safer for bicyclists and motorists because each knows where to be. Bicyclists using sidewalks have increased safety risks due to conflicts with driveways and pedestrians. • �•HOT#= While reconstruction will not require new speed reductions to be put in place, the average speed of vehicles generally slows due to decreasing the width of the roadway. https.11www. ramseycounty. us/residents/roads-transitl2Ol 8-construction- maintenance/long-lake-road-resurfacing-0 Long Lake Road Project Visualization The Long Lake Road resurfacing project will be divided into three main sections: • County Road H2 to County Road I. • County Road I to Eastwood Road. • Eastwood Road to 93rd Lane/County Road J.

Administrator review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Rayla Sue Ewald, Human Resources Coordinator Item Title/Subject: Town Hall Meeting Introduction: The City has held an annual Town Hall Meeting since 2005. This year represents the 14th annual meeting. Discussion: Staff gathered to review last year's meeting and suggested opening the booths from 5:30 — 6:00 p.m., closing them during the Council and staff presentations then re -opening the booths from 7:15 — 8:00 p.m. Additionally, Allina has been invited to have a booth at this year's meeting. In an attempt to retain audience levels and not disrupt the Town Hall Meeting, the agenda has been altered by moving the presentation of awards to the end of the meeting. Another change for 2018 is removing the presentation of new staff to meeting attendees as introductions of new hires are included in the quarterly Mounds View Matters. The agenda for this year's Town Hall Meeting is attached for Council review. Booths for the 2018 Town Hall Meeting will be set up behind Council Chambers, in the previous Public Works area. The gate will be open and management will lock office doors. The vacant office (previous office location of Public Works Director Peterson) will be open with a map for the public to identify their properties. Additionally a large screen television (provided by City Administrator Zikmund for the event) will be installed in the open space for public overflow during the meeting. Refreshments will also be available in this space. The actual meeting will be led by Mayor Mueller with introductions and the State of the City address. Council will have an opportunity to make statements, followed by the Vision, Mission and Goals for 2018 presented by City Administrator Zikmund. Staff will have time to give brief updates on their departments. Residents will have an opportunity to ask questions of Council after the presentation in Council Chambers. Staff will return to their booths answering questions for residents. The meeting is scheduled to conclude at 8:00 p.m. which is a half hour earlier than previous years as staff noted residents have vacated the building by 8:00 p.m. in prior years.

To that end, we have made substantive progress in the records retention and storage of our data. This effort will result in significant space reclamation, primarily in the basement level of the building but also; but to a lesser degree, in the general office area as well. The last substantive construction/enhancements made to City Hall were in 1992 orjust over a quarter century ago. Recently, the Public Works division relocated all staff, including those housed at City Hall to their new facility. And finally, voters approved a bond referendum last fall adding an additional police officer to the police department. Issues: Based on the above and additionally, my one on one meetings and then just general observations and discussions the following are issues that I have identified for discussion purposes. 1. There are no showers in the building which poses an unacceptable situation for our law enforcement staff who from time to time, in the course of their duties, end of with undesirable contaminates on their clothing and body. The same was true for Public Works who now have complete showers. 2. Similarly, there are no laundry facilities for washing of soiled gear/uniforms. 3. The police department is lacking a detention room for individuals placed in custody. They currently handcuff them to a bench in the general work area of the patrol officers. 4. The PD entrance area is a cumbersome area. 5. PD would be better served if they had a second interview room. 6. Modifications can be made to the PD, that in combination with using the current conference rooms A & B, will address the shower facility issues. 7. The area vacated by Public Works can be converted into conference rooms; former PW Director Office will work well for a small conference room and would benefit from some AV upgrades. 8. The downstairs area will become mostly available once all the records retention and data storage plan is implemented. This provides an opportunity for expanded restrooms with showers, and a workout area for PD and City Hall staff or a conference room downstairs. 9. The paint and carpet throughout city hall are best described as "tired." 10. The attendee chairs in the council chambers show signs of end of life use. Loose Equipment/Technology/Other: 1. Council expressed desire to explore going digital on council packets using a tablet or IPad. 2. Flag pole maintenance is needed at City Hall 3. A more robust shredder could improve efficiency on the City Hall side (PD has a large volume shredder). Cost Impacts: Director Peterson has obtained very rough estimates that place the cost of the PD work and fabrication of a conference room in the former Public Works area at $200,000. Adding in furniture and AV might add another $50,000. Financing Projects: In speaking with Director Beer, he has opined that best option would be a bond and that issuance of anything less than $500,000 is cost prohibitive. To that end staff could endeavor to identify if there are any issues at the Community Center or Park Buildings or some other public infrastructure that would benefit from this upgrade/update. Director Beer has also shared we will be selling bonds in 2020 for the municipal water upgrades and adding onto those bonds would be cost effective. Recommendation: Information only at this point, we will schedule time on the April 16`h retreat for more in-depth discussion on this and other fiscal challenges.
