From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator
Re: May 3, 1999 City Council Work Session
i
We have several items the council is familiar with for Monday's work session. Here's what's
coming:
Item 1 - Further Discussion of Tax increment Financing: To follow-up on the April 19
discussion of TIF, I thought the next logical place to give consideration is to review the programs
. and commitments the city has been making for the use of its tax increment funds. This would
include the housing and economic development programs and debt obligations. It also raises the
questions of what should the city be doing with the rest of the funds. This seems to be the key
point for much of council members comments and resident comments in the recent past. If it is
to be dealt with,the council will need to address it and that perhaps can be the objective of the
discussion for Monday night.
Item 2 - Hiring Administrative Assistant: Cari will be present to discuss this item
Item 3 -Personnel and Administrative Policies: This item received some discussion a number
of weeks ago. Two years ago staff began to review the variety of personnel related policies the
city had in different areas and formats in an attempt to codifiy them into one official document.
Due to changes in personnel however,this was not completed nor has staff been able to revisit "`
the policies. This would be this council's introduction to the official policies as we think they
exist. As we found with the telephone bill discussion, the latitude of management to affect
written or unwritten policies may be something the council will want to keep in mind, in other
words not everything may need a policy.
The council may want to give further consideration to other personnel policies that have been
• heavily debated as well,particularly pay plans and pay equity issues. I contacted each of you
this week stating that my position on the assistant city administrator position is to retract the
proposal sensing the deeper division that the issue exposed at the meeting last Monday. These
longer term concerns should really be addressed and hopefully a consensus of the full council
could be arrived at prior to awkward public debates that may do more to damage the organization
then help it. It would seem that some discussion of what the acceptable nature of personnel
administration should be, expectations from it, and a realistic correlation to budget and work ti,
loads should be reviewed. The policies are only a part of it, but the concerns seems to be much
deeper and perhaps should be addressed in the interim.
Item 4 - Discussion of Knollwood Green Townhouse Association request for Rehabilitation
Financing Assistance: Steve Dorgan will review with the council the issue and opportunities
here.
Item 5 -Update on Housing Program Grant Applications: Since Steve will be with us, why
not.
Item 6 - Redevelopment Proposals for 6991 Pleasant View Drive: Steve will also go over this.
Item 7-Review of I-35W Corridor Transportation Study and Neighboring Development
Plans: I believe we had this on an earlier agenda and moved it due to time constraints.
Item 8 -Nighttime Parking Restrictions
Item 9 -Review of Council- Staff Retreat: Carl Neu has gotten us the summary of the two
retreat sessions we have had. The council may want to review it and determine an appropriate
course of action. Such an action may include reviewing the report at the next meeting, adopting
a resolution of sorts and so on.
Item 10 - Streets Committee Policies: The Council has received the policy recommendations
from the Streets Committee and should determine the schedule for reviewing those options and
the accompanying public review. The resolution passed by the council earlier this month lays
out the objective of having two public hearings no later than June 28 on the policies to be
changed. Discussion for Monday night can center on the policy proposals themselves, how
current policies would be changed and/or the impact of making those changes.
That's it for the work session. In other news, the paperwork for the Everest agreement is in
process and awaiting your signatures. Kevin Carroll will be leaving the document on your office
desk for signing.
I met with representatives of Blaine and Circle Pines with several MAC officials on Tuesday
afternoon to discuss the sound abatement committee options the city could enter into. The
meeting essentially concluded with MAC drafting up bylaws for such a committee for review at
our next meeting. We generally discussed how many community representatives should be on
the committee and for working purposes concluded two each. A MAC staff member housed at
the airport will be looking to once again establish a phone line for addressing complaints. While
commendatory, the city representatives stressed that personal contact and action would go much
further to satisfy complaints than just a phone line. We have been emphasizing this personal a'
responsibility to them, and to the pilots the mayor and I talked with last week, and that them
must start seeing themselves as part of the community, not just airport guys.
We once again hosted a four city supervisory training session at the MVCC on Wednesday for
Mounds View, Blaine,New Brighton and Coon Rapids city supervisors. It was well attended by
the other cities.
Council should notice work taking place at the theater and for the Highway 10 crossing. Mike,
Dave Brick and I are meeting with the theater management on Friday to go over traffic
management concerns and other opening issues that may come up. I anticipate a follow-up
meeting the next week as well and can keep the council informed to any theater opening issues.
They have an interest in opening as soon as next weekend, and certainlybythe Star Wars
p g
opening May 19. However the building is not complete and our review process has to kick in.
Council member Thomason has been reviewing the project and will be passing along to staff
concerns she has seen that may need addressing prior to opening. We will keep council
informed. ;1

Item Title/Subject: Request Financial Assistance
Knollwood Green Condominium Association
Date of Report: April 28, 1999
SUMMARY
Staff has recently received a request from the Knollwood Green Condominium Association asking
the city to cosign a loan for exterior improvements on the property. The association wishes to install
vinyl siding on all of the buildings. The association indicates that the existing masonite siding
requires painting every 6 years at a cost of$25,000. They estimate spending over$60,000 in
maintenance over the next 15 years for painting and repairing the siding and wish to reduce the
maintenance costs by installing vinyl siding on the buildings. The association has attempted to obtain
a loan from a local lender for$100,000 and was unsuccessful due to lack of collateral.
Knollwood Green consists of 4 buildings and 6 garage banks for a total of 32 units. The buildings
were constructed in 1984, at which time a nonprofit condominium association was formed to oversee
the maintenance of the property. A recent inspection of the buildings shows that the existing siding
appears to be in good condition.
POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR THE CITY
Staff has reviewed options available for the city to assist the Knollwood Green Condominium
Association in financing the requested improvements. Options include:
1) Housing Improvement Area
The City may create a"Housing Improvement Area" for the Knollwood Green property.
Minnesota State Statute 428A.11-20 provides for a municipality to establish an ordinance
forming a housing improvement area for a specific property(or properties). The ordinance
would establish the criteria by which the City would cosign a loan with the Association. The
ordinance must include findings that without the housing improvement area, the proposed
improvements could not be made by the condominium association and that the improvements are
necessary to maintain and preserve the housing units within the housing improvement area. The
ordinance must also stipulate the portion of the City to be included in the area and the terms of
the City's involvement in the loan. A petition of at least 25% of the homeowners is required for
the City to consider the establishment of a housing improvement area. However, the City may
require a larger percent.

2) Minnesota Housing Finance Agency-Loan
Staff has recently contacted the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency(MHFA)to explore
options, which may be available to finance the requested improvements. According to the
MHFA, the City may apply for funding to provide a loan to the Knollwood Green Association.
Applications are accepted biannually with the next submittal scheduled for June of 1999.
However, there is no guarantee that the funds would be approved. In addition, the MHFA
indicates that no funds have ever been issued to a condominium association through available
programs.
3) Issuance of a Bond
The city may issue a bond to provide funds for the principle of a loan to the Knollwood Green
Association. However, the loan requested is for $100,000 and the amount may not substantiate
the City issuing a bond.
DISCUSSION
A recent inspection has shown that the current condition of the buildings to be good. The
immediate need for assistance by the City may not be warranted. However, if the City decides to
provide assistance to the Knollwood Green Association in financing a loan for the requested
improvements, several options are available. In conversations with the MHFA, indications are that
approval of an application for funding to finance a loan through the City for an owner occupied
townhome association is unlikely. And due to the process and effort involved in issuing a bond, it
would not be recommended for a loan amount of only $100,000. The most viable option to provide
funding to the Knollwood Green Association would be for the City to establish a Housing
Improvement Area, whereby the city may cosign a loan and established criteria for levying
assessments in the event of default on the loan by the association.
OPTIONS
1) Direct staff to create an ordinance which would establish a"Housing Improvement Area" for
the Knollwood Green Condominiums for the purpose of the city entering into an agreement
for the purpose of cosigning a loan for the requested improvements. The ordinance would
establish the criteria by which the city would cosign a loan and necessary assessment
measures required in the event the townhouse association defaults on the loan.
2) Deny the request by the Knollwood Green Condominium Association for the City to assist in
financing exterior improvements at this time.

To: Mounds View City Council
From: Knollwood Green Condominium Association,Property Manager
Dear Council Members:
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Steve Sis and I am the Property Manager for Knollwood
Green Condominiums located at 2900-2974 Highway 10 NE in Mounds View. The company that I
work for(Laukka Management)has been managing Knollwood Green since 1996.
Knollwood Green is a not for profit Condominium Association. The Association was formed in 1984
and is made up of 32 units. Over the past 3 years we have taken great strides to update and enhance the
common areas of this association. I have worked with the Board of Directors to created a reserve
schedule for the next 15 years. (see enclosed copy) This reserve schedule has been updated yearly and
contains all of the items that we feel should be replaced in the next 15 years.
The exterior of our building is Masonite siding that requires painting every six years, at a cost of
$25,000 every time our buildings need a fresh coat of paint. We estimate that in the next 15 years we
would spend $60,000 on painting the siding and the trim. This is a conservative figure because it is
difficult to predict the cost of inflation on goods and services and repairs so far out. This year we have
sought out a loan from our bank to try to finance a maintenance free siding project for all of our homes,
so we can eliminate most of the painting that is currently being done. Unfortunately,the bank denied the
loan because the association does not have enough collateral for the $100,000.00 loan that would be
necessary to implement this re-siding project.
At our annual meeting March 20, 1999 we discussed the possibility of assessing every unit in the
association$2,700.00 to help pay for this large one time expense. The consensus at the meeting was our
owners just didn't have that kind of money for a large payment. Many of our residents are elderly and
on fixed incomes, or are single income households.
I have done some research and found another homeowners association in Plymouth that was aided by the
city under Minnesota State Statute for Housing Improvement Areas 428A.13. The Board of Directors
would like to ask the council to help us with this redevelopment project by cosigning a loan. The loan
amount that the Association is now requesting would include the detached garages for a total of
$124,000.00. So that this association can move forward with a project that will enhance the appearance
of their homes and create a more desirable property along Highway 10. We would also like to look at
what we can do as an Association to help with the Highway 10 Improvement Project.
This Re-siding project that we are looking to initiate is a project that this association has looked into in
the past and will most likely never be accomplished unless we can secure funding from an outside
source. We will be glad to answer any questions that you may have.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 612-831-8325.
Sincerely,
For The Board of Directors
Steve Sis

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Steve Dorgan, Housing Inspector
Item Title/Subject: Housing Program Grant Applications
Date of Report: April 28, 1999
SUMMARY
In February, the city council approved grant applications to the Minnesota Housing
Finance Agency (MHFA) and Ramsey County for existing and proposed housing
programs. Grants were requested to fund the existing Housing Replacement Program
and proposed Interest Subsidized Home Improvement Loan Program and Crime Free
Multi-Housing Certification Grant Program.
Ramsey County_
On April 27th, the Ramsey County Board formally approved Mounds View's grant
requests for the Housing Replacement Program (HRP) and the Crime Free Multi-
Housing Grant Program (applied jointly with the City of New Brighton). Mounds View
applied for a $150,000 grant for the HRP and was awarded $75,000. Both Mounds
View and New Brighton received the entire grant request of$25,000 for the Crime Free
Multi-Housing Certification Grant Program. Mounds View was the only suburban
Ramsey County city to apply for Community Development Block Grants this year.
Minnesota Housing finance Agency
The MHFA Board recently reviewed and selected proposals for funding. Mounds View
submitted two separate grant requests; $150,000 to supplement the Housing
Replacement Program and $70,000 to provide interest subsidies for an existing Home
Improvement Loan Program. Both applications were denied.
PROGRAM IMPLIMENTATION
Ramsey County CDBG grant funds will become available on July 1, 1999. Staff will
continue to work with the County to finalize each program's criteria prior to
implementation. Mounds View's HRP will be able to access $75,000 for single family
scattered site acquisition and clearance of buildings for redevelopment purposes. The
grant will require that at least 51% of persons benefiting from the created housing
qualify as low-moderate income or having a household income of less $51,000 for a
family of four.
CC Workshop Staff Report
May 3, 1999
Page 2
The Crime Free Multi-Housing Program is a new program in which the cities of Mounds
View and New Brighton will be able to access up to $25,000 to provide grants to
qualifying multi-family rental properties within the communities. Grants will be provided
as an incentive for successful completion of Crime Free Multi-Housing Certification.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
The purpose of this memo is to update the city council on recent grant applications for
housing programs. No action is necessary.

RFP Review-6991 Pleasant View Drive
April 26, 1999
Page 2
E) Vista Construction, Inc. (Exhibit E)—The proposal includes a bid of$47,250 for the
lot. The home will have approximately1,860 finished square feet with and additional 600
square foot expansion on the fourth level (basement). The proposal also includes 3
bedrooms, 2 baths (3`d rough in) and a 3-stall garage with and estimated overall value of
$181,250+(depending on landscaping).
DISCUSSION
Of the five proposals submitted, staff recommends the EDA select a"first choice" proposal to
enter into a purchase and redevelopment agreement with. In addition, the EDA should choose a
"second choice" as an alternate proposal that may be used in the event the first selection falls
through. In reviewing the submitted proposals, it appears that each proposal meets the minimum
design criteria and has a design that would blend in with the surrounding neighborhood. The
council may wish to focus on the bid price, house design, overall value of the home and the
reputability of the builder/developer.
Each builder/developer submitting a bid has built homes in the area and act as the general
contractor on all projects. The exception is with the Help You Build, Inc. proposal, which allows
the buyer to operate as the general contractor for most of the finished work. The builder
constructs the foundation and shell of the home. The buyer is then obligated to arrange for the
remainder of the work to be completed by subcontractors.
ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED
Select a Builder/Buyer team to enter into a purchase and redevelopment agreement with the EDA
for the redevelopment of the city owned lot at 6991 Pleasant View Drive as part of the Housing
Replacement Program. It is recommended that the council select a"first choice" and"second
choice" developer for the redevelopment.

A STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP AND GOAL-SETTING PROCESS
There are a number of approaches to conducting goal-setting sessions for an
organization. A particular approach, that has proven to be very popular, is designed to
address the following key areas:
1. Definition of a STRATEGIC VISION for the organization which serves as
the basis for goal-setting and performance planning to be used by the
board and management.
2. Identification of major "CONSENSUS POINTS: held by a majority of the
"Goal Setters" relative to their vision for the future of the organization.
3. Identification of critical issues and strategic performance factors which are
the "DESTINY SHAPERS" of the organization. These critical issues and
strategic performance factors generally represent areas that must be
addressed or managed by the board and the organization's executive team
if the organization is to attain its vision for the future.
4. Defining specific OUTCOMES that are to be achieved relative to each of
the critical issues and strategic performance factors. Once these specific
outcomes have been defined, a careful identification needs to be made of
all forces and factors working "for" and "against" attainment of these critical
outcomes.
5. Establishing specific PERFORMANCE GOALS that will lead to the
attainment of the desired outcome and define general policies, leadership
directions, and performance priorities for the organization.
6. Establishing REVENUE AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION POLICIES to
ensure the continuous availability of the necessary resources to achieve
specific performance goals.
7. Assigning, if appropriate, SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES that must exist
within the organization if each of the goals is to be achieved.
8. Establishing for each goal a set of annualized performance objectives and
supporting MANAGEMENT ACTION PLANS (MAPs) designed to ensure
achievement of community-wide goals in a systematic manner that guides
operating programs and priorities for the entire organization.
9. Establishing a goal-management and MONITORING PROCESS which303/986-8487

permits a comprehensive and coordinated view of all of its strategic,
tactical, and operational efforts.
10. Identification of"BREAKTHROUGH LEADERSHIP TARGETS"which reflect
significant issues that do not seem to lend themselves to traditional
decision-making practices and management procedures. These issues,
frequently, are really ones that require extraordinary insight and
commitment for their resolution. As such, these issues require whole new
levels of thinking and perspective which must be integrated back in to the
goal-setting And MAPping process.
11. Conducting an initial assessment of the current quality and extent of
organizational TEAMWORK essential for goal achievement. Frequently, an
organization will have an outstanding set of goals and supporting
objectives. However, difficulties may arise in the implementation phases
due to factors reflecting the level and quality of teamwork existing between
groups that must work in a collaborative manner.
12. Establishing COMMUNICATIONS PROCESSES through which the critical
issues, specific performance outcomes, goals, and MAPs are
communicated throughout the organization so that all leadership groups
and affected parties have a full appreciation for the direction the
organization is taking and the role they have in the achievement of its
goals.

F. Vision-Long-Term Leadership Direction for Mounds View
The strategic leadership process, as outlined on pages 19-31 of the participant
workbook, starts with establishing a leadership vision for the community.
1. Council Member/Staff Member Visions
Each participant was asked to create his/her vision of the City of Mounds
16
View as of March 13,2020. The process of creating the vision consisted of
conducting an imaginary tour for a visitor to Mounds View in 2020. After
each individual conducted a detailed imaginary tour, the participants were
asked to draw their respective visions for presentation to and discussion with
the other participants.
2. Themes Common to a Majority of the Visions
After sharing and discussing each individual's vision with all of the
participants, a subgroup of the participants was asked to identify themes
common to majority of the visions presented. The following common themes
were identified:
a. Greenspace
b. Trees
c. A boulevard"look"to the City
d. Neighborhoods: living versus working
e. Multiple family housing occupied currently by mobile homes.
f. Trails and transportation systems connecting all parts of the
community
g. Redevelopment and revitalization
h. Population growth of 2,000-3,000
i. Golf course remains part of the future
3. Significant differences evidenced among the individual visions:
When sharing a number of individual visions about the future of a
community, significant differences or points of divergence in perspectives
and viewpoints can emerge. The subgroup addressing significant differences
was asked to identify the differences and present an approach as to how these
differences might be resolved toward a consensus for goal setting. The
following "significant differences" and ideas for their potential resolution
were provided:
a. Rural versus urban development.
17
b. The appropriate mix of land uses.
c. High density versus low density.
d. The specific location of business areas versus residential areas.
e. Public use versus private use.
f. Population growth.
It was decided that the appropriate strategy for resolution of all of the above
is continued discussion of, and commitment to, achieving an appropriate
balance relative to each of the items identified above when establishing a
long-term vision for the community and goals/strategies for the achievement
of that vision.
4. Critical/strategic issues that must be addressed from a leadership perspective
to position Mounds View for achieving its vision for 2020. The following
critical/strategic issues were identified:
a. Ability of citizens to pay taxes and generate needed revenues for the
future.
b. Quality of housing stock and how to afford and maintain the housing
stock.
c. Quality of the City's infrastructure.
d. Dealing with population increases, multiple dwelling units, and
mobile homes.

in long-term planning for the City.
