To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator
Re: May 10, 1999 City Council Meeting
We have some straight forward business items on the agenda for Monday evening. Here's what
we have:
Consent Agenda:
Item 6B - Setting Public Hearing Dates for Streets Policies: June 14 and 28 are the hearing
dates. There really is no other times to set something if the Council wishes to have a discussion
on the policies prior to the public hearings. I have asked Mike to take the policies and determine
which existing policies,procedures, ordinances, resolutions and so forth need to be changed and
to be ready to discuss this with the Council June 7. We will also pass along the streets
improvements plan and cash flow projections for your discussion that night.
Item 6C -Hiring of Administrative Assistant: As Cari noted at the work session, our choices
have been narrowed. Joan Babekuhl is the candidate selected. She is #2 from last week's memo L.
and will start at the entry level pay range May 24 with Council approval.
Item 6D -Resolution Receiving Neu Report: As I mentioned at the work session, the purpose
of this resolution is for the Council to acknowledge to the community that it met in retreat and
discussed city issues. It is not an acceptance of the goals determined in the report. Council can
do that some other time if it would like.
Council Business:
Item 9A- Ordinance 629 Second Reading: Council has reviewed this item a couple of times so
far. Approval of the second reading sends it to the paper for publishing, and after 60 days it
becomes ordinance.
Item 9B - 1998 Audit Report: Bruce Kessel and Mary Tatarek will be present along with our
auditors to review the 1998 audit. This is the Council's opportunity to fully assess the fiscal
health and condition of the city and ask questions. Keep your audit after this for reference during
the budget discussions. Areas to pay attention to include fund balances for all funds,particularly
where trends are evident.
Item 9C - Resolution Setting 2000 Budget Schedule: The resolution schedule is self
explanatory.
Item 9D - Resolution Accepting Public Improvements at the Theater Site: As part of the
development agreement with the theater, the public improvements on the site must be approved
by the city. Rick Jopke's memo outlines the status of those public improvements and some
Ill
options for the city to consider. I would suggest taking an action that does allow the theater to
open at its scheduled time,preferably an option that penalizes the development for costs related
to meeting conditions required. I expect they have every intention of meeting the requirements
and may even do so prior to their May 18 opening. Because the council does not meet again
until after this date, issuing approval now should be contingent upon the developer following
through. Not giving this approval may or may not create problems depending if the city were to
use this to prevent them from opening. Staff will be checking into that as well.
iThat's it for the agenda. We may have a report for the Council regarding the airport legislation.
For those of you who have listened to your voice mail, there should be two messages that lay out `!
,
the status of this issue. The mayor and I are to meet with Novak this week yet, and Bob Long , i1
has arranged a meeting with the governor's office for Monday. 11
No other real issue is hot right now. Cari and I will be at the managers conference Wednesday
through Friday next week, and I have a commitment out of the office on Tuesday. With no
meeting scheduled for the following Monday, a little break is welcome. Have a good weekend
and see you on Monday. i9f

MINUTES
Mayor Coughlin commented that he is pleased with the status of the meeting minutes,thanking
the new recording secretary. He requested a correction on Page 3, fourth paragraph,to change
the word"Mr."to "Ms."
Council Member Marty requested clarification of the statement on Page 4, second paragraph,
regarding the well testing.
City Administrator Whiting explained the well testing at 29 parts per billion referenced the report
in the Star Tribune and the test at 14 parts per billion was the test the City took internally.
Council Member Marty agreed with his suggestion that reference to the 29 parts per billion test
be stricken or attributed to the newspaper article.
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To accept the April 12, 1999 City Council minutes as
corrected.
Ayes - 5. Nays-O. Motion carried.
4. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS
None.
5. REPORTS
Mayor Coughlin reported that in the past two weeks he had the opportunity to have dinner with
Speaker of the House of Representatives Steve Sviggum and State Representative Barbara
Haake. In that meeting, they talked about a variety of things but the most germane to City
business was Speaker Sviggum's question on whether there was anything he could do on behalf
of Mounds View that would help. Mayor Coughlin stated he asked Speaker Sviggum to support
1 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
the airport legislation currently being considered by the House and Senate. He advised that
Speaker Sviggum gave an endorsement of that afterward.
Mayor Coughlin explained that since he was meeting with Speaker Sviggum and Representative
Haake, Acting Mayor Stigney filled in for him at the North Metro Mayors Association meeting
that evening. Mayor Coughlin extended his appreciation to him for acting in that capacity.
Mayor Coughlin reported that this past Thursday, he and Council Member Thomason attended
the Ramsey County League of Local Governments meeting and met with Ramsey County
Commissioners in a round table discussion. At that meeting,the Commissioners presented
reports on what they were involved in with this session and fielded questions on property tax
rates since most constituents saw their property values increase. He reported that concern was
also presented that St. Paul not be left out if the State moves forward with their commuter rail
plan.
Mayor Coughlin noted the informational packet from the Ramsey County Commissioners.
Council Member Marty reported he and Planning Associate Ericson attended a community
meeting at Onan concerning their expansion. He explained the informational meeting was for
Mounds View and Fridley residents about Onan's 400,000 square foot warehouse which is under
construction. He stated that the impacted Mounds View residents are on the western side, north
of County Road H. Onan cleared trees up to their property line which raised concern since it
changed the view from a wooded area.
Council Member Marty stated the meeting was not structured with a presentation but Onan had
placards displayed with people standing at each to describe the project. He stated they met with
Scott Hickok, City of Fridley, who expressed his interest to try to do what they could to work
with their community and Mounds View. Council Member Marty advised they talked with
representatives about moving the road running north of County Road H along the property line
farther to the west between the two settlement ponds which will be created to handle drainage.
However, due to the location of the sewage metering site and a few other technicalities, moving
that driveway would not be feasible. He stated they also talked about creating a berm on the
eastern side of their property. They indicated they were willing to look into it with the
understanding that some of the yard areas may be lost.
Council Member Marty reported that Onan representatives have indicated their willingness to
look into options as did the City of Fridley. He advised the master plan for Onan is to build
another building north of the warehouse they are currently constructing which would wipe out
most of the remaining trees along the resident's property to the north. He stated they did suggest
Onan plant evergreen trees along the boundary so the trees are in place for this and future
projects. He suggested that staff follow up on that discussion.
2 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
i
it
Council Member Marty reported the residents on the south side of County Road H are concerned
about increased truck traffic. He advised that residents were told Onan would try to route all of
their truck traffic northerly on County Road H. He explained that a representative of Onan then
stated that their truck traffic was routed on Old Central and Highway 65 but that was not earlier
relayed to the residents at the meeting.
Council Member Marty stated the truck traffic on County Road H2 has been a discussion matter
and Onan did indicate during the meeting that they routed their traffic to County Road H2,
making 150 trips per day from the warehouse to the plant. He suggested the City keep "tabs" on
this to determine if truck traffic has increased on County Road H2.
Council Member Quick had no report.
Council Member Thomason stated she attended the Ramsey County League meeting and found it
interesting to meet all the Ramsey County Commissioners who informed of their particular forte 5
and district, and what they were working on at the State level. She reported the primary concern
was taxes.
Council Member Thomason stated she also attended an Economic Development Commission
meeting. She reported they are working on the Comprehensive Plan and will be doing so for
several meetings until they "hammer" something out.
Council Member Stigney reported that he represented Mounds View at the meeting of the North
Metro Mayors Association on April 14, 1999. He reported that Elwyn Tinklenberg, the new
Minnesota Transit and Transportation Commissioner, gave a presentation on the direction he
would like to see for light rail as a transit option. Council Member Stigney stated the
Association is also pushing to abolish levy limits. He stated that he has his own views on these
issues but this Association supports light rail and abolishing levy limits.
Council Member Stigney also commented on the Governor's MTC tour of the "bottleneck"
locations which, at the time of the tour, were not congested.
Council Member Stigney updated the Council on the recommendations from the recent Planning
Commission meeting.
City Administrator Whiting reported on the meeting he attended at the Anoka County Airport to
discuss methods to get to know the pilots better to resolve problems. He stated they will be
meeting with the Metropolitan Airports Commission(MAC) to discuss sound abatement issues.
Mayor Coughlin reported he also attended a meeting with representatives from the YMCA,
Pinewood Elementary School, School District staff, and representatives of the manufactured
home parks to discuss plans to have on-site programs for kids in manufactured home parks since
they may not have the ability to be driven to the Community Center.
3 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
City Attorney Long reported he is getting ready for House and Senate consideration of the airport
bill and to assure everyone's support. He stated this will be addressed in the next three weeks.

7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Update on Onan Project in Fridley
Mayor Coughlin reviewed that residents appeared before the Council at the April 12 meeting
expressing concern over Onan's expansion plans in Fridley. 14Planning Associate Ericson stated that Council Member Marty did a wonderful job describing
the informational meeting at Onan. He added that the Onan representatives made it clear that
they will try to keep their trucks off County Roads H and H2 and mentioned if Fridley designated
routes they would try to abide by those routes. Planning Associate Ericson stated it has been his
impression that Onan does attempt to keep truck traffic off County Roads H and H2 but Mounds i1
View staff can address that issue with Fridley staff as well as the opportunity for a berm. i.I'
i,
Mayor Coughlin stated the important thing is that the City's staff will be working with Onan and
Fridley staff
Council Member Marty thanked Planning Associate Ericson for this attendance at this important
meeting.
8. RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR
David Jahnke, 8428 Eastwood Road stated he had a discussion with the gentleman who runs the
golf course but he is unable to get a clear answer if the golf course pays its bills with no resident
contribution. He asked if the golf course is self supporting and able to pay off the bonds.
i

Mayor Coughlin stated that is correct and all he has seen in documentation and verbal comments
made indicate the golf course is self sufficient. He noted that there is a potential, if the weather
was very bad, that it could change that situation but with past history the golf course is meeting i,
and exceeding its requirements under its separate budget and it has,to this date, paid off the
bonds.
Mr. Jahnke asked how the pickup will be funded. Mayor Coughlin stated it is scheduled in the
golf course equipment budget.
Council Member Marty stated that with the escalating bond debt, the golf course will be very
close as far as covering expenses for several years which is the reason the billboard project is
being considered, to gain a bit of"cushion."
Dick Hanson, Realife Cooperative Developers, stated the Realife Cooperative is totally sold out,
will introduce 65 new residents to Mounds View, and this has been a very good project. He
stated they have cash to close on May 3, 1999, but the Development Agreement has a error that
the lender and HUD will not accept. Mr. Hanson asked the Council to consider their request to
correct this error.
Cindy Davis,representing Realife Cooperative, explained that there was an underlying :,
Development Agreement defining the improvements as primarily infrastructure and the first
amendment that was entered into substituted the Co-Op for Silverview Estates and pertained to
only one parcel. She explained HUD has indicated they must have clarification that this
Development Agreement pertains only to the senior housing element, not to the gas station or
office buildings. She explained they are asking for an amendment to state they will be
developing a 74-unit senior cooperative housing project and that will be the definition for the
improvements for the PUD.
Ms. Davis also requested the deletion of Paragraph 202 relating to obtaining the permits that
were pertinent for the infrastructure development and to eliminate the financial guarantee for the
infrastructure improvements, performance bond, the maintenance bond, and park land dedication
fee. She noted all those items have been performed by Silverview Estates so eliminating that
reference would not result in relinquishing those requirements. Ms. Davis advised that without
these clarifications, HUD will refuse to fund the loan.
Planning Associate Ericson stated that he received a fax requesting this second amendment to the
Development Agreement for Silverview Estates which he forwarded to the City's legal team. He
reported they reviewed the Agreement and expressed serious misgivings on the requested
amendment. Planning Associate Ericson explained that HUD has requirements that may not be
in sync with what the City has already required and included in the Development Agreement. He
stated he does not think the City would want a separate Development Agreement for this single
parcel. He stated that some requirements have been met so he does not understand why there is a
5 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
need to change the Development Agreement. He suggested staff work with the developers and
HUD to address their request and see if HUD can be comfortable with the language.
Planning Associate Ericson recapped that the Development Agreement addresses this project as
one entity, not separately. He stated that the City's legal team is reviewing these documents and
suggested that the Council address their recommendation at the next meeting.
Mayor Coughlin stated that he does not want to see this project lost but, since the City Attorney
has expressed reservations, he would be inclined to have it considered by the May 3 Council
Work Session meeting if the developers can provide needed information to staff and City ;`
Attorney. He stated that he would not object to calling a special meeting during the work session
so the developer's closing deadline can remain on schedule.
Marcel Ebensteiner, Principle of Silverview Estates, stated that everything is completed in the
Development Agreement and they thought the$113,000 letter of credit was in place, but it has
expired. He stated that he is willing to renew the letter of credit to be able to close and then work
with staff to reduce that letter of credit.
The Council indicated their agreement to call a special meeting, if needed.
Julie Olson, 2663 Lake Court Circle, asked why, since there is no litigation on the Building "N"
project,the sessions are closed which prevents public attendance. She asked what portions of the
contract negotiations are going through Council versus the EDA.
City Attorney Long explained the EDA was threatened with a law suit by the developers a week
ago and received the cover page of a summons of complaint. Thus,the recommendation for a
closed session so the Council can understand the claims being brought against them. He advised
that the EDA will either approve or not approve of the proposed changes.
.41
Ms. Olson asked if it is only the TIF that correlates to the EDA. City Attorney Long explained
the Development Agreement is what is being challenged by the developer and the related issue of
site plans was acted on by the Council at the end of last year. He stated the EDA only deals with
the TIF portion and size issues.
With regard to the discussion about the golf course, Ms. Olson asked if, since its beginning, a
portion is still not coming from the General Fund.
City Administrator Whiting stated there was an interfund loan transfer contemplated and set
aside from the Water Fund but it was never actually made or accessed. He stated that it would
make sense that the golf course should be self supporting and apologized for staff's assumption
that all knew of that.

Ms. Olson asked where the funding is coming from for the revenue bonds where the interest is all
that's been paid. City Administrator Whiting stated he is unable to answer that question but has i 3,
a schedule that contains that information. He explained that in predicting cash flows through the
period of the bonds, it was felt there would be enough to pay off the bonds. City Administrator
Whiting explained that one of the ongoing concerns is whether there are enough funds and what
happens if something goes wrong. That resulted in discussion if something should be done to
enhance the golf course, which may include additional debt. He stated that this is something
contemplated but not yet discussed fully by the City Council.
Ms. Olson requested fiscal documentation on the golf course. She noted they are general
obligation bonds which could become a potential liability for residents to pay off. She requested
clarification if they are general obligation bonds or revenue bonds and if there would be any
obligation against the residents.
City Administrator Whiting advised that the audit report, including the golf course, will be
discussed at the work session next week and at the regular Council meeting the week after. He
stated the City's obligation will be to pay off the bonds and the golf course is an extension of the
City so the City would be responsible for any shortfalls should that occur.
Ms. Olson asked if the separate underlying debt for the golf cart expenditures and payments are .
also coming from golf course revenue. City Administrator Whiting stated that all golf course
expenses are paid by the golf course.
Ms. Olson asked about the approximate bond payment per year and requested that information.
City Administrator Whiting stated that it will be included in the audit report.
There were no other requests or comments from the floor.

B. Public Hearing 7:10 - For the Consideration of Resolution 5297 to Consider a
Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Dog Kennel at 2841 Bronson Drive,
Requested by Andrea MacRannolds
Mayor Coughlin closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing at 7:49 P.M.
Andrea MacRannolds, 2841 Bronson Drive, stated that she thinks enough petty attacks have
occurred. She noted the misleading comments made about the petition she submitted that
il
contained the signatures of 30. She stated that two signatures were at the same address but that
was from a duplex on Silver Lake Road. Ms. MacRannolds agreed that four were without an t i
address, but the weather was cold and windy, so they signed without adding their house number.
She stated her concern with Mr. Johnson that over the last several years many have attested that
Mr. Johnson has made numerous complaints about several neighbors, dogs barking, and he has
no tolerance. Ms. MacRannolds stated that Mr. Billington is a neighbor who has large concrete
block building 3.5 feet from her property line and if her dog doesn't bark he claps his hands to
make them bark.
Mayor Coughlin clarified that this public hearing is about her request for a dog kennel permit,
not about her neighbors. He requested she keep her comments to why she is requesting this
particular permit.
Ms. MacRannolds explained that Mr. Billings said her dog barks but, actually, he claps his hands
and then they bark. She stated there are four to five residents with petty complaints and a history
of doing so, and she has 30 or 31 people petitioning for her support. She requested an extension
of 30 days so Mr. Ericson has time to check her house so she does not have to put her dog to
sleep.
4
Wally Billington, 7560 Groveland Road, stated that there are barking dogs at early morning
hours or any time he walks in the yard. He stated his opinion that four dogs, three very large, are
not good for the City and he does not support it.
LIQ
Gerald Sullivan, 2832 Bronson Drive, stated he has never made a complaint about the property
or dogs but he supports denial because four dogs in a city neighborhood is too many dogs.
Phil Johnson, 7474 Groveland Road, stated he circulated a petition since many did not have an
opportunity to see the one circulated by the applicant and many expressed concern about walking
by this home and their kids being attacked. He stated his concern is with barking dogs since it is
like a kennel. Mr. Johnson advised that his adjacent neighbor complains of the smell and a
• residential neighborhood is no place for four dogs.
8 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR Ii
Rick Wyatt, 7515 Knollwood Drive, stated he has never had a complaint with the applicant but
has to listen to the Rottweiler barking if his wife sits on the back deck, or if they walk in the backI
yard. He stated he yells loudly at the dog and it walks away but his wife does not do that and she
shouldn't have to. He advised the Great Dane can look over the fence and the applicant's back
yard is not that large considering it contains a deck and pool along with the dogs. Mr. Wyatt
stated that it is not right for the dogs or neighborhood.
David Porter, applicant's son, requested that his last name be corrected in the Planning
Commission meeting minutes where it incorrectly is reflected as "MacRannolds." He advised of
the height of the fence, lowest and highest, and the height of the dogs. Mr. Porter stated they will
work to clean the back yard to address the complaint of smell.
There being no further comments, Mayor Coughlin close the public hearing at 7:58 P.M. and
reopened the regular meeting.
Mayor Coughlin noted the petition supporting denial which was submitted and signed by 33
signatures.
Council Member Thomason asked if the petitioner did submit the required number of signatures
to support her request. Mr. Ericson stated the petition did not contain the required number of
signatures. He stated that he sent a letter to the applicant advising her of that issue after the 4
Planning Commission meeting and staff has not received additional signatures to add to the
ti
petition.
i
li
Mayor Coughlin noted the staff and Planning Commission recommendations for denial. : 'il
i
Council Member Stigney stated there was a lot of public input received at the Planning
Commission meeting and the neighborhood has spoken strongly in support of denial. He
commented he hopes some consideration is given to provide a reasonable time period for the
applicant to comply.
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Coughlin. To adopt Resolution 5297, a Resolution Denying a
Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Dog Kennel for Andrea MacRannolds, 2841 Bronson
Drive; Mounds View Planning Case No. 547-99, based on public input received at the Planning
Commission and lack of required signatures.
Planning Associate Ericson noted the proposed resolution requires two dogs to be removed
within one week of adoption or the Animal Control Officer will do so at the applicant's expense.
He stated the Council can reconsider the one week time restriction if they feel that is appropriate.
Council Member Stigney asked the residents if they would support an extension to 30 days.
9 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
Patricia Johnson, 7474 Groveland Road, asked how this is followed up on to assure
compliance. Planning Associate Ericson stated if the City indicates two dogs must be removed
within one week,the Community Service Officer would inspect the property to assure that is the
case. If the residents were to notice more than two dogs on the property,they should so notify
City staff.
Council Member Marty stated that he is a dog owner and, if possible and agreeable with
neighbors, maybe the resolution could be amended to provide a 30 day period which would allow
the applicant more time to place the dogs.
Mr. Sullivan stated he is also a dog lover but does not have time to take care of one. He noted
that the applicant has known for months that it was a possibility that she would have to get rid of
two dogs. However, he has no objection to allowing 30 days.
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Coughlin. To amend the motion on the floor to allow for a period
of 30 days to gain compliance which will be verified by the Code Enforcement Officer. `'u
Ayes - 5. Nays-0. Motion carried as amended.
C. Public Hearing 7:15 - For Resolution 5333 to Consider a Conditional Use
Permit for an Oversize Garage at 2091 Terrace Drive
Mayor Coughlin closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing at 8:07 P.M. Hearing
no public input, Mayor Coughlin closed the public hearing at 8:07 P.M. and reopened the regular
meeting.
Planning Associate Ericson explained the applicant, Gerald Miller, is requesting a conditional
use permit(CUP)to construct a 1,040 square foot garage at 2091 Terrace Drive. The house, at
approximately 926 square feet, is presently larger than the existing two-stall garage, which is 506
square feet. The applicant will be removing the present garage to make room for the new one.
There is an 80 square foot(8 x 10) shed behind the existing garage which is set far enough back
so as not to be in the way of the proposed garage.
Planning Associate Ericson stated staff and the Planning Commission felt this request would
result in an improvement,met the criteria for granting a CUP, and recommend approval of a
Conditional Use Permit for a 1,040 square foot garage at 2091 Terrace Drive, requested by
Gerald Miller, containing the standard stipulations as contained within the Code pertaining to
oversized garages related to the use of the structure, uniform exterior appearance,parking of
vehicles on improved surfaces or within the garage, and the indication the existing shed may
have to be removed to maintain the minimum six-foot setback distances.

MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Thomason. To adopt Resolution 5333, A Resolution Approving a
Conditional Use Permit to Allow for an Oversize Garage at 2091 Terrace Drive; Mounds View
Planning Case No. 552-99.
Council Member Marty noted the last page of the proposed resolution indicates all vehicles need
to be parked on an improved surface or in the garage. He asked if a new driveway will also be
installed to complement the new garage. Planning Associate Ericson explained the existing
I
driveway would not be replaced but a new section will need to be added.
Ayes - 5. Nays - 0. Motion carried.
D. Resolution 5334 Approving Assistant City Administrator Position
City Administrator Whiting advised that he has talked with the Council at the last two work
sessions about changing the Assistant to the City Administrator position to the Assistant City
Administrator position which would be filled by current staff member Can Schmidt. He noted
the additional language emphasizing the role in legal management for this position. He
commented that spending more attention on the City's legal needs allows internalizing that work
which is felt can make up for the annual increase in pay for this position. City Administrator
Whiting emphasized this position as different in that it would essentially be a department head
position for administration and personnel functions, as opposed to an extension of his position.
He commented that Ms. Schmidt has exceeded his expectations for this position and he thinks it
provides an opportunity to utilize her talents at a higher level which is the reason for the request.
The City Administrator stated he would like Ms. Schmidt at a level comparable with other 3
department heads. I'
Council Member Stigney stated at the work session this item was placed on the agenda late in the
meeting and he still has a lot of questions regarding an objective measure of value versus cost
and alternate solutions. He stated he does not feel his questions have been answered adequately
and requested it be postponed until this can be discussed further. He stated that Ms. Schmidt is
an excellent worker but he wants to assure it is a good decision for the City and tax payers.
Mayor Coughlin noted there is no motion on the floor which could be postponed with a motion.
Council Member Quick asked for a legal opinion.
City Attorney Long noted a resolution has been prepared but there has been no motion to
approve or deny the resolution so the issue procedurally is to make a motion to approve which
can be discussed, a motion made to table, or a motion made to lay over.
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To postpone consideration of Resolution 5334, a ;§
Resolution Approving the Reclassification of the Position of Assistant to the City Administrator
to Assistant City Administrator.

Mayor Coughlin stated this has been discussed a fair amount and he has raised a variety of
questions, called staff, and received answers to his satisfaction, as all are afforded that same right
to do. He stated that he does not think discussing this further as being of any great benefit.
Mayor Coughlin stated that he opposes laying this over since he does to believe further
discussion would change the situation.
Council Member Stigney stated this Council specifically wanted to keep Council meetings to
Council decisions and work session decisions to work session issues. He stated that he has many
questions and to be fair to him as a Council Member and residents,he believes this decision
needs more deliberation than has occurred. Council Member Stigney stated he does not have the
same level of comfort the Mayor has.
Council Member Marty stated he admires and respects Ms. Schmidt and has no qualms about her 'F;
but, as Council Member Stigney stated about the last work session, the Council spent 15 minutes,
tops, on this issue. He stated that he would feel more comfortable justifying this decision if some
of his questions could be answered. Council Member Marty stated he generally goes along with ti,
it but would like to be able to justify a decision one way or the other and this is why he would
agree to put this on the next work session agenda. He stated that he does not believe this issue
needs to be dragged out and suggested the questions be posed ahead of time so answers can be
received ahead of time.
Ayes - 2 (Marty, Stigney). Nays-3 (Coughlin, Quick, Thomason). Motion failed.
MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Coughlin. Motion to adopt Resolution 5334, a Resolution
Approving the Reclassification of the Position of Assistant to the City Administrator to Assistant
City Administrator.
Council Member Stigney asked if he will have the opportunity to ask his questions tonight and
get answers or if he will have to base his decision on incomplete information.
Mayor Coughlin stated the Council has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions and direct
questions since it appeared in the Council packet six weeks ago.
Council Member Stigney asked if he will have the opportunity to ask questions tonight.
Mayor Coughlin stated that, in accordance with Roberts Rules of Order, each member will have
two opportunities to speak up to ten minutes in length.
Council Member Stigney stated his concern is that this has not been defined,the justification for
the existing problem has no basis of merit but it is hoped it will pay for itself,there is no
guideline saying how much this will save or cost, and no cost benefit analysis has been
accomplished. He stated that he does not understand the problem and has not explored alternate
solutions. Council Member Stigney stated that this is why he requested the lay over. He
12 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
explained that once the problem is known, then the duties can be defined. He noted the staff
report just says they want Ms. Schmidt to do more work because she does good work but he has
not seen justification to bring this position up to a different salary range.
Council Member Stigney noted this position came in one year ago with salary range of$37,080
to $46,350 and during that time period Ms. Schmidt received increases of$16,156 in one year
and the recommendation is to retroactively increase the salary with an additional jump of$6,866
to a starting salary of$53,236 to go up to $66,546 which is to be accomplished within one year.
He noted the inflation factor of approximately 3%which means at the end of next year the salary
will be $68,542 which is another increase of$15,306. He stated that for anyone to get over
$30,000 in pay increases in two years, they better be doing a good job. Council Member Stigney
stated he is concerned about what this job will do to offset any costs to the taxpayers. He stated
that he wants to see factual information about what will be saved and what this job will
accomplish.
Council Member Stigney stated he objects to the salary structure as proposed and believes the ten
cities that were grouped had nothing to do with what Labor Relations provided. He noted that
the majority of the ten cities do not even have this position so maybe it should be looked at
again. Council Member Stigney asked if he could ask for a postponement of the motion on the
floor.
City Attorney Long stated the motion to hold over failed and a motion to postpone would be
viewed as a similar motion and out of order.
Council Member Stigney stated it is a"sad day."
Council Member Marty stated that in the packet and information,the job titles and duties have
been laid out, as well as qualifications and minimum requirement. He stated while this has been
spelled out, none of the information provided shows the degrees and/or qualifications of Ms.
Schmidt. Council Member Marty noted most have demonstrated management experiences or
experience with other business organizations but the Council has not been provided with what
and where this took place or what the demonstrated management level experiences are. Council
Member Marty noted the desired minimum qualifications of two years of related experience or
two years of demonstrated leadership experience. He asked what Ms. Schmidt's work
experience is. He noted that none of this information has been provided for Council review.
Council Member Marty noted that the staff report indicates this position would take three years
to be raised to the maximum, include monthly steps, a starting salary of$53,236, and five steps.
He stated he could find it more justifiable if the increase to the maximum was spread over a five
year period instead of five steps within three years. He noted that without a cost of living
increase it is $66,546 and this year everyone in the City got a three percent raise.

Council Member Marty stated that this would be significant which is why he does not want to
jump into it blindly. He stated that a lot of these questions could be answered but they have not
been asked so the information has not been provided. He stated that he has questions that remain
and he would like a better"handle" on those questions before having to vote on the proposed
resolution.
Council Member Marty reviewed the salary information of other communities and noted that
only two, Chanhassen and Robinsdale, start off with a higher salary than being projected. He
stated that he realizes Ms. Schmidt does have a lot more qualifications than some of the other
city's but, in order to justify this decision to the citizens, he would like some of the questions and
answers laid out on the table instead of voting blindly. He stated that he is sure Ms. Schmidt will
do an excellent job.
Council Member Marty stated the City has discussed an electronic filing system and he would
like to know if Ms. Schmidt could coordinate that effort too since it is something the City
definitely needs. He stated that there are a number of questions he would like answered so he
could personally justify voting aye or nay. Council Member Marty stated that until he can justify
it to the citizens, he cannot vote to support.
F '{
Council Member Thomason stated that she did not realize others have not had an opportunity to
ask questions since it has been in packet for six weeks. She stated she did some research and just
today got her questions answered. She stated she did not realize that others didn't have that
opportunity so she would support a motion to table.
MOTION/SECOND: Thomason/Coughlin. To reconsider the motion and table consideration to
the next work session.
• Council Member Marty requested Council Members use the new inquiry form to ask their
questions and that the issue to be put on the Monday, May 3 work session agenda.
Council Member Quick asked if Mayor Coughlin or Council Member Thomason have had any
problems getting questions answered by staff. Mayor Coughlin stated he did not have any
problems.
City Administrator Whiting stated that he is less comfortable approving this position change with
a split Council and supports additional discussion to assure the support of the Council and,
therefore, the community. He stated that he recognized there would be some concern and
pursued it the way he felt appropriate but he would rather take time to answer questions. He
apologized if all questions had not been answered.
Council Member Stigney stated that he, like Council Member Marty, is uncomfortable passing it
through with unanswered questions.
14 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
Ms. Olson asked if citizens can have information that they would like for review so they may be
able to provide input at the next work session. City Administrator Whiting stated he can try to
follow up and provide information but reminded the Council and residents that there is a high
degree of subjectivity in this kind of choice.
Ms. Olson stated she will put her questions and requests for information in written form and
asked if it would be reasonable to obtain that information. Mayor Coughlin stated all citizens
have the right to ask reasonable questions of the City and, in a reasonable amount of time, obtain
answers.
Ms. Olson stated that her questions would be of a legal nature. She stated it was mentioned Ms. t I
Schmidt's expertise could potentially help reduce the City's legal fees but she questioned
whether rendering an opinion construed as legal would require insurance to cover liability of
such actions.
City Attorney Long stated he has not had an opportunity to talk with City Administrator Whiting
but a City staff member could prepare initial drafts of resolutions and development agreements as
long as they are reviewed by the City Attorney's office, which appears to be what staff is
suggesting. If it meets those tests, it would not be construed as practicing law.
City Administrator Whiting stated he sees the potential that staff members can do some of that
draft work and noted that some of the largest expenses of the City are legal costs. He explained
they are looking at a position that crosses departmental boundaries, oversees the administration
department, and helps coordinate the information that needs to be coordinated for the City. He
stated this is what he had in mind, not doing legal work in place of the City Attorney.
Ms. Olson stated that it appears this type of work would not cross the line of practicing law and
would not result in a legal liability.
Mr. stated that every place you work, you get merits but you don't get paid
for the permits before you get them. He stated if this salary is at$60,000 it is not far behind the
City Administrator's salary and he questions the need for a City Administrator. He asked if, in
reality,there will be two managers for the City of Mounds View.
Ayes - 4. Nays-1 (Quick). Motion carried.
E. Consideration of Antenna Proposal
Director of Public Works Ulrich advised that staff has received a request from Johnson Radio
Communication Company, Inc. to install a repeater antenna on the City's water tower. While
this is an opportunity to generate additional income for future tower maintenance needs, staff is
unsure of the appropriate rental rate for this use. He advised that staff has contacted several
cities with similar installations to inquire their rental rate. Johnson Radio is proposing an amount
15 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
ti
-1i
of$189 rent payment plus $20 for electricity. The vendor would be responsible for all associated
expenses related to the installation(engineering review, electrical installation,painting, etc.). He
noted the other cities have indicated their rental is about$200 for this type of single antenna and
requested Council authorization to further negotiate a contract with Johnson Radio
Communication Company, Inc.
MOTION/SECOND: Coughlin/Quick. To authorize staff to further negotiate with Johnson
Radio Communication Company, Inc. in regard to the rent rate and sign such agreement when a
final amount is reached.
Council Member Stigney asked if this equipment is compatible with equipment that currently
exits. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated they are proposing to add only one more antenna.
He advised the County Sheriff's Department did add an antenna along with strengthening the
railing system so additional antennas can be accommodated. He stated they want a two year
lease that can be extended to five, with it being renegotiable at the end of the first period.
Council Member Marty asked if there would be no cost to the City. Director of Public Works
Ulrich stated the attorney did an initial review and provided a boiler plate document which staff
updated for this request,resulting in only minimal administrative expense.
Ayes - 5. Nays-0. Motion carried.
F. Presentation of Spring Lake Road/County I Street Project Survey
Director of Public Works Ulrich reported staff received and tabulated the surveys sent to
residents of Spring Lake Road and County Road I. Residents were requested to rate the three
project designs from 1 to 3,with 1 being their first choice. He advised that some respondents
chose not to complete the survey and many questions were left blank. Director of Public Works
Ulrich noted the survey results as contained in the meeting packet and advised there are a number
of options available as to the direction in which to proceed. Director of Public Works Ulrich
read the three questions asked and reviewed the responses received.
Mayor Coughlin stated he talked with a few residents and when he initially looked at the survey
it appeared about a 50/50 split but when it was further analyzed by the road it became clear that
those individuals south of Highway 10 had a resounding number wanting to keep the road at 24
feet as it presently is. North of Highway 10, there was more of a mixed result but the majority
support widening to add a pedestrian pathway. Mayor Coughlin stated he contacted them and
asked if there was a way to strike a balance between those who wanted it 24 feet wide and those
wanting it wider. He explained that everyone's concerns were toward pedestrian traffic and they
desired to keep the road narrow while still accommodating pedestrians. He stated that with those
he discussed it with, they felt the compromise was to expand the roadway to 26 feet wide, a three
foot wide shoulder that could accommodate pedestrian traffic, a one foot shoulder on the other
side, and eleven foot driving lanes. On County Road I,there is no easement on the south side so
16 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
the City would have to purchase easements from those individuals to widen the road. Mayor
Coughlin stated the vast majority of those surveyed want that section retained at 24 feet and, in
light of the right-of-way purchase issue, he agrees.
Mayor Coughlin noted the considerable desire on behalf of most to put a path along the St. Paul
Water Works easement but a similar proposed path along the edge of the lake was not viewed as
a good idea with the main concern being it is private property on both sides of the road and
creating a public path would lend itself to people believing the lake front was public, not private
land. He stated his concurrence with that indication.
Mayor Coughlin noted the intersection realignment which the majority support due to safety
Li
issues. He recommended,based on the survey and discussions with residents, consideration of a
26 foot wide roadway north of Highway 10, a three foot shoulder on one side and a one foot
shoulder on the other, south of Highway 10 the roadway width will be left at 24 feet, County
Road I will be left at 24 feet unless the St. Paul Water Works allows widening to 26 feet
expanding to north, adding a path on County Road I, constructing no path on the southeast edge
of the lake, and realigning the intersection of County Road I and Spring Lake Road when
constructed.
MOTION/SECOND: Coughlin/Marty. Motion to accept the Spring Lake Road/ County I street
project survey as submitted and direct staff to notify Ramsey County of the desired design to
construct a 26 foot wide roadway north of Highway 10, a three foot shoulder on one side and a
one foot shoulder on the other, south of Highway 10 the roadway width will be left at 24 feet,
County Road I will be left at 24 feet unless the St. Paul Water Works allows widening to 26 feet
expanding to north, adding a path on County Road I, constructing no path on the southeast edge
of Spring Lake, and realigning the intersection of County Road I and Spring Lake Road when
constructed.
Upon inquiry, Director of Public Works Ulrich answered questions regarding the width of
several roadways and stated the project will treat the storm water going into Spring Lake but do
very little to alleviate drainage problems.
Council Member Quick asked if engineering work has been done to address any problems that
could result to Carey Lane. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated a feasibility report was done
but nothing was determined if it will provide a problem. Council Member Quick asserted it is a
"shot in the dark" and could be terribly right or terribly wrong.
Council Member Marty stated it will not add significantly to run off either. Director of Public
Works Ulrich stated it will not significancy add any more run off except for two feet of
bituminous surface north of Highway 10. He advised the water will still sheet off the road to the
grass areas since the elevation of the roadway and manholes will remain the same.
17 U:\CARIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCC26.APR
Council Member Quick asked how long this additional bituminous is. Director of Public Works
Ulrich stated it is about 8/10 of a mile. Council Member Quick asked if this equals a significant
addition of imperious surface. Director of Public Works Ulrich stated that depends on how you
define "significant." Council Member Quick stated it would add 1/8 of the roadway which he
believes is significant and since many sump pumps go into the sanitary sewer when water is
high, and the City pays a lot to treat that water, this will increase City expenses.
Mayor Coughlin clarified that it is not three feet, but a two foot addition, one foot on each side to
a maximum width of 26 feet instead of a maximum width of 24 feet. He stated for the record
that itis illegal to dump sump pumps into the sanitary sewer and residents need to deal with
sump pump water in a different manner.
Director of Public Works Ulrich stated that while he was out of town he received the Mayor's
survey and one suggestion is that by putting the path on one side it will encourage some
pedestrian or bicycle traffic to go the wrong direction Also, putting in common mailboxes
throughout both projects would cleanup the neighborhood. He noted the City provided
mailboxes on Bronson and set up an arrangement to have mailboxes on the property line with
adjacent two property owners which created fewer obstacles and may make the job of mail
delivery easier. He explained the type of break-off posts that would be used and suggested staff
negotiate with the Post Office about moving the boxes to one side of the road.
Council Member Quick asked if the vote is to go from a 24 foot width to a 26 foot width on the
north side. Mayor Coughlin stated that is correct, it would add one foot on each side and reduce Ga',
the driving lane from 12 feet to 11 feet which provides a three foot shoulder on one side and a
one foot shoulder on the other side.
Council Member Quick stated that he does not think three feet is wide enough for a busy road
like Spring Lake Road.
Ayes - 4. Nays - 1 (Quick). Motion carried.
Director of Public Works Ulrich asked if another mailing should be sent out to residents. Mayor
Coughlin stated it would be good to notify residents that the project is now in its final form and
advising of the anticipated start date.
Director of Public Works Ulrich reported the County has indicated they would start two weeks
from the Council decision. Since this project has been set at the top of their calendar, it will take
two to three months for completion.

6:00 P.M.
1. MEETING IS CALLED TO ORDER
2. ROLL CALL: Coughlin, Marty, Quick, Stigney, Thomason.
3. Resolution 5335 -Resolution approving a developers agreement for Lots 1,2, and 3
Block 1 Silverview Estates; and a developers agreement and release of land from
developers agreement for Lot 4, Block 1, Silverview Estates.
Scott Riggs, City Attorney gave an overview explaining that the Council had before them
three documents: Item A, which is a second amendment to the development agreement between
the City of Mounds View, Silverview Estates, Inc, Five D Limited, and Realife Cooperative of
Mounds View, Item B, which is a new development agreement between the City of Mounds
View and Realife Cooperative of Mounds View, and Item C which is a release of property.
These revisions were made to be acceptable to HUD so that they would approve the financing for
the project. The revision restores the original agreement and memorializes its intent, removing
the Realife parcel from the original agreement, and provides for a separate agreement with
Realife covering just their parcel.
Council member Quick questioned a provision on a memo dated 4/26/99 indicating that
the number of units in the development changed from 82 to 74. Cindy Davis explained that this
occurred six months ago in sync with some market research that was done. This change is
consistent with the change approved when the first amendment to the developers agreement was
made.
Council member Quick made a motion to approve Resolution 5335. Mayor Coughlin
seconded the motion.
Discussion: Council member Stigney questioned what the ramifications would be if the
financing for the project falling through. Cindy Davis stated that the preclosing was today and
that this was the last detail to finish. If the HUD financing fails though,the project would just
revert back to the original agreement.
MOTION: Council member Thomason indicated that she has a potential conflict of interest
with this project and would abstain from the vote.
Rick Jopke,the Community Development Director stated that this seems to be a good
approach. Although he was only able to give it a brief reading, it seems to keep the intent of the
original agreement, while providing a separate agreement on the Realife parcel. It should be
acceptable to HUD and is acceptable to the City's legal staff.
Scott Riggs indicated that he spoke with planning Associate Jim Ericson, and that Jim's
concern was keeping the intent of the original agreement in place. This agreement does just that.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor& City Council
From: James Ericson, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: First Reading(Introduction) and Public Hearing regarding
Ordinance 629, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 401 of the City
Code Pertaining to the Planning and Zoning Commission;
Special Planning Case No. SP-069-99.
Date of Report: April 22, 1999
Background:
According to Section 401.06, Subdivision 7 of the Municipal Code,the Planning Commission is
to review its Bylaws on an annual basis at the first regular meeting in February. The Planning
Commission reviewed the bylaws during its February 3, 1999 and February 17, 1999 meetings
and then approved the Bylaws with minor revisions on March 3, 1999.
The changes to the Bylaws were made to be consistent with current procedures and practices and
to be better able to respond to planning cases in a timely manner. The changes in effect require
the City to adopt an ordinance to amend the municipal code concerning the types of meetings
held by the Commission. The ordinance amends the Code to redefine what constitutes a regular
meeting and a special meeting, as well as to remove language from the Code which was not
internally consistent with the rest of the Chapter concerning appointments and recommendations
for the filling of commission vacancies.
Discussion:
With regard to the scheduling of meetings, up to now,the Bylaws were drafted such that the first
Wednesday of the month was a"regular"meeting, at which time the Commission called to order
and took action on items discussed at"agenda"meetings,which were held on the third
Wednesday of the month. With the changes to State law requiring cities to act upon planning
cases within 60 days,the Planning Commission has been calling to order on third Wednesdays as
well as first Wednesdays to minimize delays in processing planning applications. The agenda
meetings then became"special"meetings to reflect that they would be calling to order.
The Bylaws have been changed such that both meetings of the month are regular,doing away
with what was an agenda meeting. Special meetings have been redefined to be any meeting
occurring outside of the first and third Wednesday.

Regarding the language concerning the filling of Planning Commission vacancies, Section 1 of
the Ordinance removes language from the Code which had stated that the Mayor,with approval
of the City Council, shall fill such vacancies for the unexpired term of appointments, based upon
the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission. This italicized clause is being
removed so that the remaining language is consistent concerning all types of vacancies and
appointment processes.
The Planning Commission, at its March 7, 1999 regular meeting, approved Resolution 572-99, a
resolution recommending to the City Council that Ordinance 629 be approved. Staff discussed
this item further with the Commission at its meeting on April 21, at which time the Commission
was made aware of a requested addition to the Ordinance, that being the above-mentioned
deletion of text from Section 401.03, Subdivision 1 c concerning Planning Commission input
toward Commission appointments.
The City Attorney has been sent a copy of this Ordinance prior to the meeting on April 26, 1999
for his review and comment.
The City Council gave first reading to the proposed ordinance on April 26, 1999.
Options:
a. The Planning Commission and staff suggest that the City Council give second reading
and approval of the Ordinance at the May 10th meeting and direct staff to publish the
ordinance.
b. Direct staff to revise proposed Ordinance 629 as may be necessary and to bring it back
for further consideration at a future meeting.

From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution No. 5339 Accepting the Public
Improvements at the Theater Project
Date of Report: May 6, 1999
Background:
The Development Agreement which the City entered into with Anthony Properties Management,
Inc. and Louise O'Neil requires that the developer construct certain improvements including
street, grading, drainage, landscaping, and other public improvements as part of the project.
Section 2.09 of the agreement indicates that upon completion of the improvements,
representatives of the City and the developer will make a final inspection of the work. The City
. has no obligation to accept the improvements if they are not consistent with the approved plans
or not in compliance with all City ordinances and standards related thereto. Final approval and
acceptance of the improvements shall be by a resolution duly adopted by the City Council.
A draft Resolution No. 5339 accepting the public improvements is attached for City Council
consideration.
Discussion:
The developer has indicated that the projected opening of the theater is May 17, 1999. If that is to
happen the City must issue a Certificate of Occupancy prior to that date. City staff is in the
process of doing inspections to ensure compliance with codes, standards and plans. The
developer is working to address all the issues that are being identified.
Mike Ulrich has reviewed the public improvements and has indicated that there are some issues
yet to be resolved relating to the street and utilities. Those issues are outlined in the attached
memo.
The attached draft Resolution No. 5339 accepts the public improvements contingent upon all of
the issues outlined by Mike Ulrich as well as other issues identified by staff being addressed. The
resolution also requires cash, bond or other surety to ensure that the identified issues are
addressed. Staff also would only issue a temporary Certificate of Occupancy if all issues are not
addressed prior to the theater opening. A bond or other surety would also be required with a
City of Mounds View Staff Report
