ADJOURNMENT C:\JOANB\AGENDAS\CC\10-11-99.CC October 7, 1999 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator Re: October 11, 1999 City Council Meeting Here's what we have for Monday: 5.A. Special Order of Business—Council and Staff Rules of Conduct: Mayor Dan thought it would be a good idea to recognize the"10 commandments"the Council came up with last spring with Carl Neu. I expect to have the rules on a board by meeting time with signature places for everyone. 10. A. Consideration of Ordinance 641, Implementing a Franchise Fee on Electric and Gas Companies for the Operation of the Utility within the City: We have a public hearing scheduled for 7:15 on this item for public comment on the ordinance. The Council reviewed this matter at the work session last Monday and has discussed it at various times before. To recap, the franchise fee is currently set at 2.5% on the usage of gas and electric by utility users in the community. In the history of the franchise fee, the first five years the franchise fee was set at 3% and went into the general fund. I am not familiar with the reasons given at the time for establishing this charge,but as we have learned over time it has become a vital part of the City's revenue budget. Two years ago the City Council considered ways to reduce or eliminate the franchise fee and struck upon the policy of reducing it by .5% every other year until it is eliminated. By setting a year sunset on the ordinance, the Council understood it would revisit this item annually. Last year the Council renewed the ordinance again for one year at 2.5%. The discussion this year has taken a different approach. With the interest expressed in creating a fund for future street improvements, the funding of that fund has led the Council to consider the future of the franchise fee. From the discussion Monday evening, this appears to be the sole reason for consideration of this increase. As I attempted to express on Monday, it is doubtful that franchise fee funds will on their own be able to fund all street improvements in the future,but it appears that intuitively the Council understands that such a fund will require building up the fund to a useful amount. For Monday, the increase to 4% creates an estimated $115,000 to $120,000 of additional revenues. The city's 1999 budget estimate for franchise fee at 2.5% is $195,000. Ordinance 641 authorizes the change and the Council can also determine when or if to sunset it. One year was mentioned Monday, longer periods have been discussed earlier. Some additional comment, while a public hearing is set for Monday everyone should remember that the charter does not require public hearings to be published. The public has the ability to overturn an ordinance after the fact. I have received calls on this subject and notified three people that either would be interested or report that this item is before the Council, Phil Sipe at Sysco,Nancy Ngo at the Pioneer Press and Carol Frey at the Chamber. 10.B. Consideration of Resolution , to Dedicate An Amount of the Franchise Fee Collected in Year 2000 to Street Improvments and Maintenance and Directing Staff to Draft a Dedicated Fund Ordinance for this Purpose: This somewhat clumsily titled item is a follow up to the franchise fee ordinance and an attempt to ensure the purpose the Council has articulated for the fee increase. Hopefully the resolution is clear enough. Essentially, this resolution acts to confirm the Council's reason for the franchise fee increase and give some added time needed to firm up the commitment to this policy objective by ordinance. I expect we should be able to draft up such a thing for the November work session and subsequent approval. To reiterate some of the discussion from Monday, the objective of creating this fund seems to be understood but no definition of future revenues or expenditures can be made at this time. The need to commit to the franchise fee this month is driving the need for the decision on this item now. The dedicated fund still has a number of issues to resolve. One, can and should the City utilize existing tax increment funds that can be reclassified to meet state auditor criteria and therefore be used for a purpose like street improvements. Two, some projections on street assessment revenues could also help in determining cash flow abilities for a dedicated fund. And three, the interest the fund itself can generate to replenish itself also should be looked at. I think staff can review these and report back with some best guess work later in the month. If for some reason the franchise fee is not increased, the same review would take place assuming the creation of a dedicated fund was still an objective. 10.C. Board Appointments—Two Appointments to the Anoka County-Blaine Airport Advisory Commission: I neglected to get an ad out for this newly formed commission and the two appointments Mounds View can make until this week. I wanted to add to the agenda simply to get the notice out again to potentially interested applicants and for Council consideration. Unless the Council has two appointments it can make, we should have two by the next meeting for the MAC to get started on the committee. 10.D.Continuation of Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 640 re: Driveways and Street Openings: Jim Ericson's report should cover this item. I may ask to add an item Monday evening. At this point I am not comfortable with what I know about the interfund loan to the golf course. I am waiting for some materials from Jim O'Meara to help explain it to Council. In other business, staff has been approached by the Focus for articles highlighting City business over the past year. We have been given quite a bit a free space so everyone is trying to get some articles written, so when you see them, they were free and written by staff members. There was a good turnout at the I-35W Corridor Coalition meeting with the Met Council on Wednesday. They seemed very impressed with the presentation. Interested Council members can contact me if you would like to see the data and mapping cd rom disk the Coalition distributed. That's it for now. Have a good weekend.

REPORTS Council Member Thomason reported she and Mayor Coughlin had attended the Irondale Marching Band Seventh Annual Music of the Night. She stated she was very enthused to see so many talented young people within the community, as well as throughout the Out-state and Wisconsin area. She extended her congratulations to the winning bands, adding that all of the participants had done a very good job. Council Member Stigney reported he had attended the September 15, 1999 Planning Commission meeting. He noted there was consideration of a variance request for a zero-foot garage setback for 2075 and 2081 Hillview Road, as well as a resolution recommending approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an over-sized garage at 8011 Sunnyside Road. He noted discussion was held concerning potential problems relating to the billboard issue, adding that the City Attorney might wish to comment upon this matter. He explained that a question had arisen in regard to allowing billboards only on City property, and that this would most likely result in having to allow them on other property, as well. Council Member Marty reported he had attended a tour of the Northwest Youth and Family Services facilities, for which organization he is the Liaison and a Board member. He stated he had met with Amanda Little and Kay Andrews that date, and he requested the Council invite them to a future Work Session meeting, so they might provide an overview of the programs and services the organization offers. Council Member Marty stated Northwest Youth and Family Services works with youth, as young as age 4, and older. He commented the facility accepts insurance, however, uninsured persons may pay for the services on a sliding scale fee, based upon income. He noted this organization provides mental health counseling, and a youth diversion program for first time offenders found guilty of delinquent acts, which provides one-on-one counseling and an educational seminar, with the opportunity for restitution and community service. He stated they were also coordinating a teen court, for second time, non-violent offenders, which provides an alternative to the traditional justice system, and prevents these youth from being thrown into the court system. He explained these young people will be judged by a jury of their peers, and some of the community service they perform may include serving on a jury for the teen court. Council Member Marty stated Northwest Youth and Family Services includes youth operated businesses, Penny Pinchers, which is a thrift store, and Senior Chore, a program which provides a link with youth willing to perform home chore services with area seniors. He stated there is Mounds View City Council September 27, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 4 also a family support project, and a Young Father's Program, which provides teen fathers with support and planning opportunities to fulfill the rights and responsibilities of parenting. He noted such programs have traditionally been targeted primarily towards young mothers. Council Member Marty stated this organization provides community education, with a variety of presentations and group facilitation on topics such as parenting, anger management, and violence prevention. He added that one of the upcoming programs, alternative health as it relates to mental health, would be a class on herbs and acupuncture and these types of things. He stated that parties interested in any of these services could contact either himself, or Northwest Youth and Family Services, whose telephone number is (651) 486-3808. He added that staff would include this organization on the City Webpage, as well. Mayor Coughlin reported he had attended the regional League of Minnesota Cities meeting held in the city of New Brighton. He stated Representative Barbara Haake was one of the featured speakers at the meeting, and the Governor was also in attendance, however, he did not speak. He noted one of the topics discussed was the Metropolitan Council, and the power it has or does not have over cities. He remarked this was a very good dialogue and he felt it was well worth the time. He commented it was always enjoyable to see Representative Haake in action, as she always "shoots from the hip." Mayor Coughlin reported he and City Attorney Long had met with Senator Novak in his office where they discussed ongoing airport issues, and the legislation that is still alive and well in the House and Senate. He noted some of this discussion pertained to the ongoing litigation the City is involved in. He commented he was very pleased Senator Novak is on the City's side in this debate, as he is an accomplished individual, and will do very well for the City. Mayor Coughlin he was very impressed with the exhibition at the Irondale Band festivities, adding that he "got chills up his spine" during the third movement of their presentation. He stated this was extremely well done, and the movement and artistry of the individuals in the band have gained his admiration. He commented oftentimes, the media represents the worst aspect of America's youth, and it was wonderful to see hardworking, honest kids, doing a great job, using their talents and expressing their God given gifts, so that others may enjoy them as well. He stated he thought this was an extraordinary event, and planned to continue to attend every year in the future, regardless of whether or not he was Mayor. Mayor Coughlin reported he had attended the Parks and Recreation meeting the prior week, and had taken a tour of all the City's parks, and made a visual assessment of the outbuildings and facilities that are available. He stated different commissioners had pointed out a variety of items that could be changed or improved, and some of these recommendations would be brought before the Council at some time in the future. Mayor Coughlin stated there was a lively discussion regarding the role of the Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission, regarding the redevelopment of the parks, and how much emphasis, even during this year's budget process, should be placed upon improving more of the parks, in an expeditious manner. He stated there appeared to be a need for this, particularly in light of the Community Center and the grounds that must be maintained, as well as the campus at City Hall. He noted there is much pressure on the present staff to attempt to complete these tasks, and some items are being neglected, simply because they do not have the necessary manpower. He explained additional responsibilities have been placed upon this group, without Mounds View City Council September 27, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 5 providing for seasonal help, such as hiring high school students for mowing lawns, pulling weeds and other rudimentary work, to bridge the deficit in manpower. He stated this matter would likely be brought forward to the Council at some point in the near future. Acting Administrator Ulrich had no report. City Attorney Long had no report. No further reports were considered. 7. CONSENT AGENDA A. Approve Just and Correct Claims. B. Restaurant License Approval. C.

He stated these items were intended for inclusion on the EDA Consent Agenda. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To approve the Consent Agenda for Items A, B, F, G, and H, as presented. Ayes— 5 Nays—0 Motion carried. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. 9. RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR David Jahnke, 8428 Eastwood Road, stated he was concerned regarding the financial problems of the golf course and the Community Center shower project. He noted Mayor Coughlin's previously referenced scenario regarding "it takes a while to pay for a house," adding he had thought about this. He suggested he could purchase a house, however, if he continued to "throw" money at it, in time he would have so much money invested in the house, he would not be able to get rid of it. He remarked he was concerned the City was "throwing" money at the Mounds View City Council September 27, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 6 golf course. He stated, in his understanding this is approximately$100,000 for the next 16 years, and he was not aware if this was interest free. Mr. Jahnke commented he was aware it takes time to pay for things, however, the citizens were promised the golf course would not cost them anything. He added the golf course was still not making any money, and there was no guarantee that it would. He stated the golf course had hired a new manager and purchased a new truck, without getting rid of the old one. He stated he had discussed this with several residents and Representative Barbara Haake, adding that many people are not aware of what is happening in this regard, however, when they are made aware, they are also very concerned. Mayor Coughlin explained the City has a fair amount of bonds that are outstanding at the golf course, and whether or not they continue operations at the golf course, or pave it over with asphalt, the City continues to have this obligation, which must be met. He added that if he were to purchase a house, invest $100,000 in it, or do nothing to it at all, the original mortgage would still have to be paid, regardless of whether or not he likes it. Mayor Coughlin stated he is two mayors removed from the original decision regarding the golf course, and all that he can do is pray that he will be provided with the wisdom and ability to see that these obligations are met, and the golf course becomes solvent. He commented he believed this would occur eventually, as the obligations will be paid off, however, not in this decade, and the Council's job was to pay the bonds as soon as possible, with as little "bloodletting" as possible. Mayor Coughlin stated any interfund loan that may be required in the short term, will be made at a 5 percent interest rate, which is essentially what the City earns on government bonds which are purchased for savings. He commented that there are no guarantees, and life was not fair. He noted just because he was Mayor, he could not make it fair, neither could he predict if there would be some catastrophic event which might impact this situation. He stated that all they can do is do the best that they can with what God has given them. Council Member Marty added that the golf course is required to pay back these loans with its profits. Council Member Stigney stated the documentation provided to the Council indicated .5 percent interest, payable after 16 years, and upon questioning this, found that it was an error, and should have reflected 5 percent interest, which still will not be repaid until after 16 years. Mayor Coughlin stated this was correct, adding that this is when the obligations will be met, and the golf course will have the money to pay back the loans. He commented that when the obligations are paid, it is hoped that the golf course will assist with funding of projects presently funded through Tax Increment Financing Districts. He pointed out that the Tax Increment Financing Districts will have expired by the time the golf course obligations are satisfied, and this might be a Godsend for a future Council, in that these two events will occur within a year of each other. There were no further requests or comments from the floor. 10. COUNCIL BUSINESS Mounds View City Council September 27, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 7 A. Public Hearing and Consideration of Resolution 5366, a Resolution Contemplating the Issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for an Over-sized Garage at 8011 Sunnyside Road. Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 8:29 p.m. Planning Associate Ericson stated the applicant, Donald Mackeben, 8011 Sunnyside Road, is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to expand his garage, and is presently in the process of removing the existing garage, which is 720 square feet, and replacing it exactly as it is, in the same location. He explained, as a result of the expansion, a 320 square foot addition to the rear of the garage, a Conditional Use Permit is required for this project. Planning Associate Ericson stated the subject lot is located north of Highway 10, mid-block between Hillview and Sherwood Roads. He explained that the addition would not be visible from the street, and would be shielded and screened from the view of the neighboring properties. He pointed out that this is a fairly large lot, approximately 165 feet wide, and although there is ample space on either side, the garage is located to one side of the property, and would be in rather close proximity to the south property line. He added, however, there is a good growth of trees and brush in that area, and the view of the property owner to the south will be shielded by the structures on his property therefore, this proposal does not pose any significant impact to the neighborhood. Planning Associate Ericson commented that the Comprehensive Plan allows for this type of structure, and the City encourages its residents to improve their properties. He stated the Planning Commission heard this request at their last meeting, and after reviewing the applicable criteria, and taking public testimony, felt this request should be forward to the City Council with their recommendation of approval. Planning Associate Ericson stated Resolution 5366 approves the Conditional Use Permit, with stipulations presented for this type of use, and provided the Council with a brief overview of the stipulations contained therein. He added it appeared this would be a good addition for the neighborhood, the applicant, and the City. There was no public input. Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 8:31 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Thomason. To Approve Resolution No.5366, a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for an 1,040 Square-foot, Over-sized Garage at 8011 Sunnyside Road; Mound View Planning Case No. 569-99.

Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 8:31 p.m. Mounds View City Council September 27, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 8 There was no public input. Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 8:31 p.m. Acting Administrator Ulrich stated Accountant Mary Taterick has provided the Council with a brief memorandum regarding this item, and a copy of Resolution No. 5373. She had indicated that two of the property owners have paid their delinquent tax bills in full, to date, and the remainder have until the October 25, 1999 public hearing to pay their bills, before they can be certified. Mayor Coughlin noted this matter had also been posted in the newspaper. Council Member Quick asked if the property owners who had paid their tax bills had been deleted from the resolution, and if this was necessary in order to act upon the resolution at this time. Acting Administrator Ulrich stated they had not been deleted from the resolution, however, he did not believe this was necessary at this time, as they would be removed at the final hearing. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney. To Approve Resolution No. 5373, a Resolution Certifying Delinquent Accounts to the Associated Property's Property Taxes. Ayes— 5 Nays—0 Motion carried. C.

Mounds View City Council September 27, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 9 Ayes— 5 Nays—0 Motion carried. E. Authorize the Purchase of the Council Chambers Projection System. Mayor Coughlin stated Video Producer and Production Coordinator, Patrick Toth, had provided the Council with information regarding this matter, and the projection system, installed, is estimated to cost between $7,000 and$9,000. Mayor Coughlin suggested the Council consider a motion authorizing the purchase of the Council Chambers projection system, not to exceed $9,000. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Authorize the Purchase of the Council Chambers Projection System, Not to Exceed $9,000. Ayes—5 Nays—0 Motion carried. Council Member Stigney asked if the Cable Franchise Fee was the funding source for the projection system. Mayor Coughlin stated this was correct. He explained that the Cable Committee has unanimously approved this item, and has allocated the money for this purchase. He added that the projection system would not only be utilized for Council Chambers, but to augment and modernize the presentation capabilities of the Community Center, as well. Council Member Marty inquired if the projection system would be portable. Mayor Coughlin stated it would be. F. Ratify Previous Council Actions of the August 23, 1999 City Council Meeting. Mayor Coughlin stated the Council had been provided with a list of three items, which were passed on a two-to-one vote at the August 23, 1999 City Council meeting. He explained the Council had inquired of the City Attorney, who was not aware of a City Charter amendment that requires three votes to officially pass an item, and therefore, advised the Council that the two-to- one vote would pass. Mayor Coughlin noted although statutory requirements indicate that the majority of a quorum passes a motion, it has been brought to his attention by Council Member Quick that the City Charter specifically requires a vote of three in order to pass, regardless of the number in the quorum. Mayor Coughlin requested the Council move to ratify the previous Council actions of the August 23, 1999 City Council meeting, Resolution No.5363, a Resolution Authorizing a Golf Course Assistant Position, Resolution No. 5361, a Resolution Approving Traffic Control Signal Agreement for Edgewood Drive and TH 10, and the Authorization of Staff to Hire a New Code Enforcement Staff Member, and to Upgrade the Planning Associate Position.

Ayes— 5 Nays—0 Motion carried. Council Member Stigney requested clarification of the ratification, and inquired if his previous vote, indicating that he was not in support of any of these items, would stand. Mayor Coughlin stated this motion would allow the previous action to stand, however, authorizing three votes in the favor of it. Council Member Stigney inquired if another vote would then be required. Mayor Coughlin stated this was correct. In consideration of the viewing audience, Mayor Coughlin suggested the EDA meeting be held prior to the closed session. The Council agreed. Mayor Coughlin recessed the Council meeting to the EDA meeting at 8:41 p.m. Following adjournment of the EDA meeting, Mayor Coughlin announced the Council would now meet in closed executive session to discuss litigation. He adjourned the regular meeting to a closed executive session at 8:45 p.m. G. Closed Session: Regarding Airport Litigation, City Attorney 11.
