• MEMO February 6, 1998
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Chuck Whiting, City Administrator
Re: February 9, 1998 City Council Meeting
The agenda is relatively light for Monday evening, although things are going on. Here's what's on
tap for Monday:
Item 4-Special Order of Business-Mayor's State of the City: Mayor McCarty has asked to give
a state of the city address for Monday night.
Item 7A-Wastewater Budget Amendments: Mike and Bruce have prepared this information in
regards to the discussion of manning the department over the next several months and beyond. In
regards to concerns about whether this is premature or not,Mike and I have discussed this back into
last fall. There was some thought of trying to incorporate the possibility of Wally Mortenson not
coming back into the budget for 1998,but his operation and its results were not know. With the tight
budget apparent, I figured waiting to see his status and considering an amendment to the budget
• would be more practical,particularly if he turned out well. Staffs recommendation for Monday is
to approve Resolution 5209 regarding this.
Item 7B - Setting Public Hearing for Street Issues: In reflecting on the discussion of Monday
evening, it was a little hard to determine exactly what the public hearing needed to do. With that in
mind, I wrote a neutral type statement of purpose for the public hearing notice. I have put this on
the regular agenda if the Council would like to discuss it since there may be expectations that a
particularly preference is to be heard for street reconstruction at this hearing. I met with Bruce and
Mike this week to review the work done to date and the meeting discussion to ensure we are
prepared for the next series of discussions. Based on the discussions and input from residents, I
figure there are about eight street construction and assessment options, three storm water options,
two main policy changes that may have to be made for assessing and possibly construction
standards, and then the corresponding time tables for any of the options. We are working on these
with the idea that within two or three weeks we can bring this back to Council members to make
choices. I expect we can have it done prior to the public hearing and perhaps review them with at
the March 2 work session.
As for Monday night,unless Council would like the wording done differently on the notice, it is just
a matter of voting to set the hearing for March 9.
• Item 7C - Committees for Community Center Oversight and Youth Activities Discussion:
Council will recall this request being made at the last meeting. My main concerns are first, not
creating more staff work, particularly in an area lacking staff, and second, doubling up on
• Community Center building or its activities. They, as with the youth, would participate in those
discussions and reports having to do with their subject and would be considered advisors to the
Commission. This approach further opens participation but not by adding work to staff or confusing
the Council relations with yet another board.
These are my thoughts and if the Council wishes,these or other ideas could be formalized in writing
and discussed with the Parks and Recreation Commission in the coming weeks, perhaps in a joint
session.
In other business,part of the week has been devoted to attempting to get hearings in the House and
Senate on our airport legislation. Bob Long and Mayor McCarty visited the Capital separately on
Thursday on this, and I have met with the administrators of Lexington and Circle Pines. Bob was
told late Thursday the house will schedule it before the Local Government and Metropolitan Affairs
Committee. If this is so, some of us will likely have to go down and testify. The Senate will
hopefully schedule a hearing once the House has. The political hurdles are interesting.
Rick Jopke and I met with Dave Maroney on the Mermaid project and I have been trying to meet
with each of you on aspects of the project. If you haven't talked with me yet,please give me a call.
The two LELS bargaining units are essentially on hold. We are awaiting word on mediation for the
patrol unit, likely in March, and the sergeants' meetings will now wait until spring when insurance
premium information comes in. I am hoping to sometime get back to the public works agreement
in time for Council action in March.
Everest has contacted me regarding the building N project and now apparently are willing to proceed
as the City last offered. I have talked with Jim O'Meara about finalizing the documents and he is
proceeding.
The Mayor and I attended the second meeting of the regional athletic facilities concept Tuesday
night. Different possibilities were reviewed. It appears nothing substantial will happen on the
arsenal site for some time so interest turned to evaluating existing fields and buildings for a more
coordinated approach to recreation in the district. This will likely lead to discussions about city
maintenance of school grounds as well.
That's it for now. See you on Monday.

111/ 21
22 Mayor McCarty opened the Public Hearing at 7:11 p.m.
23
24 Mr. Jim Ericson,Planning Associate,explained that Linder's Greenhouses has applied for a Conditional
25 Use Permit to allow for the operation of an outdoor flower market in the parking lot of Moundsview
26 Square. Permits have been issued to them for the years of 1995, 1996 and 1997. Mr.Ericson explained
27 that Mr.Linder intends to hook up to the fire hydrant on the property to get water and has agreed to a
28 charge of$1.40 per day this service. The flower market would operate from April 15 to June 30, 1998,
29 but would like the CUP to be effective from March 15 to July 15, 1998 to accommodate for seasonal
30 fluctuations and assembly/disassembly. Mr.Ericson noted that the applicant would like the Council to
31 consider some change to the process which would allow easier renewal of the Conditional Use Permit.
32 Staff has proposed some additional language in the Resolution which states that this Conditional Use
33 Permit may be re-approved by City staff without Planning Commission review and City Council action for
34 subsequent growing seasons contingent upon a) that there are no significant changes to the proposal;
35 b) that the property owner of record agrees in writing to the re-approval; c) that there have been no
36 problems with the operation that would warrant further review;and d) that the applicant submits the$100
37 CUP re-approval fee.

39 With no comments from the public in regard to this issue, Mayor McCarty closed the Public Hearing at
40 7:15 p.m.
41
42 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Koopmeiners to approve Resolution No. 5204,Approving a Conditional Use
43 Permit for Linder's Greenhouses at Moundsview Square Shopping Center.

1 arose as to whether or not a Wetland Delineation Report was done on the property. According to the
2 information they have,the property was not in the wetlands,however the Rice Creek Watershed District
3 maps,however, indicate that the property is in the wetland district. To verify the status, a Wetland
4 Delineation Report is required. This study cannot be completed until April and therefore the city must
5 decide if they want to postpone the project until Spring when the report can be completed,or prepare a site
6 plan for grading and drainage for just the building and the parking in front of the building and not do the
7 major parking lot where the potentially identified wetland area would be. This would keep the project on
8 track as far as timing.
9
10 Mr. Whiting noted that Resolution No. 5209 is incorrect. The Council should consider making a motion to
11 enter into a supplemental agreement with WAI Continuum based on the January 20, 1998 letter for
12 Supplemental Services billed on an hourly rate not to exceed$4,650.00.
13
14 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn to authorize the city to enter into a Supplemental Agreement with WAI

21 the project and authorize the taking of bids fore the construction. He noted that the drawings were
22 submitted on January 20th for staff review. After Council approval,they will be issued on approximately
23 February 4th for bidding with construction beginning on approximately March 4, 1998.

28
29 Council member Stigney noted that there had been a discussion on the proposed brick at a previous
30 meeting and it is his understanding that the selected brick will be different than that which is on the City
31 Hall building. He asked why they are not proposing to use the same brick.
32
33 Mr. Olson noted that the smooth surface proposed is easier to clean and that the color will match the brick
34 on the city hall building. Council member Stigney stated he would prefer to use the same. Other council
35 members stated they would rather use a brick which is easier to clean.

39 Mr. Whiting gave the council a brief update on the status of the roof at the community center. He noted
40 that after a drying period,the roof will be patched to hopefully alleviate any further leakage or damage.
41 Mr. Koopmeiners suggested that sand be put around the elevated membrane of the roof to help keep water
42 from the damaged areas. When asked about the roof damage, Mr. Olson stated it is his understanding
43 that the HVAC units were removed with a crane and therefore,he does not believe they would have
44 damaged the roof.

E. Discussion of Other Staffing Options.
Mr.Whiting noted that he had considered a number of options for the Human Resource Technician
position and that a logical consideration would be to hire an Intern. He discussed the various options with
his staff and how the Human Resource Technician position could be modified to an Intern position as it
was several years ago. At some point,this position could be moved into an Assistant position to the
Administrator with Human Resource duties and other city administrative duties. He asked for input
from the council.
Council member Koopmeiners asked if the city had looked into hiring a consulting firm. Mr.Kessel
• stated they had talked with two firms who contacted the city,one of which was a placement firm. The
other firm basically assisted with benefit management. Mr.Kessel did not think that this appears to meet
the city's needs.
A discussion followed. Council member Stigney stated he had questions as to the overall cost and funding
for the position. He wondered if the city should consider a time-share position with another municipality.
Mr. Kessel explained how the position would be funded. Mayor McCarty asked if staff anticipates
exceeding the budget with the new position. Mr.Kessel did not expect that the 1998 budget would be
affected.
Council member Quick stated he is not in favor of considering a time-share position. He does not feel it
would be beneficial to the city. Discussion followed in regard to the State's Pay Equity Standards. Mr.
Kessel noted that changes in the next three years will have an impact on the city's compliance with these
standards.

Mounds View City Council
Report of Attorney: Mr.Long gave an update on the airport issue. He explained that,on behalf of the
City of Mounds View,he had asked MAC to delay voting on master plan for the Anoka Airport until an
answer could be obtained as to whether or not MAC could proceed with their plan given the court order
that exists governing the airport. He stated he feels residents should ask their legislatures to sponsor an
amendment to that Section of the law that would make it clear that the airport runway was to stay at a
4,000 foot runway.
MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Stigney to authorize Staff to work with the State Representative to
develop legislation that would clarify law that would govern the development of the airport.
VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried
Report of City Administrator: Mr. Whiting noted that he had distributed a copy of a memo dated January
8th from the architect on the community center which laid out some issues that will need to be addressed at
the next council meeting. He noted that some of the options that the council has been considering for the
community center are stretching the discussed budget and these items will need to be discussed further
before the bid specifications are put together. One alternative the council discussed was the heated
sidewalk-an item which Mr. Whiting felt the council should talk about. It was the general consensus of
the Council to drop the heated sidewalk from the bid specifications.
Mr. Whiting provided a brief update on the Spring Lake Road project. He noted that staff will be putting
together some type of model for the council to review in regard to MSA and street policies. A council
work session was set up for Tuesday,January 27, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall.
Mr. Whiting noted the Work Session Retreat which will be held on January 24, 1998 at 8:30 a.m. at the
Golf Course.
Mayor McCarty noted that by Ordinance,the Human Rights Commission is required to meet once in the
month of January and after that as deemed necessary by the Mayor. He asked that this be put on the
Agenda for January 26, 1998.

CALL TO
ORDER: Chair Silvis called the meeting to order.
ROLL CALL: Commissioners present included Silvis, Long, Stevenson, & Dentz. City
Council Liaison Gunn was also in attendance. Commissioner Starr was
working at Pinewood Book Fair.
APPROVAL
OF MINUTES: Commissioner Stevenson made a motion seconded by Commissioner
• Long to approve the October 23, 1997 minutes. Motion passed
unanimously.
RING ROAD: Commissioners viewed the video tape of the Ring Road Public Information
meeting with the Design Center for Urban Landscape from the University
of Minnesota explaining the concept. The Commission discussed various
impacts on the Parks System, specifically City Hall site. The Commission's
concern for the soccer field and small youth ballfield was minimal because
both field uses can be absorbed in the system. However, the large, lighted
adult ballfield was of concern if vacated - for the simple reason that it
would be more difficult to replace somewhere in the City and because it is
a lighted field with extensive use and high demand. The Commission
however, understood the benefit for the city regarding increase tax
revenues. Possibilities were discussed of park bailfields being developed on
the east side of Edgewood Dr. in the area of the Community Center. The
Commission thought that the Ring Road concept should continue to be
researched as the idea of a"heart of the city" is good and the idea of inter-
neighborhood accessibility other than Highway 10 is also a benefit
especially regarding pedestrian and bicycle transportation which is a means
of travel by youth of the community.
• SIGNAL LIGHT
ONHWY 10 &
EDGEWOOD DR.: The Commission reviewed the petition and letters exchanged between
labor intense. Chemical usage for ice is discouraged due to the impact on
Silver View Park pond.
Motion was made by Commissioner Long and seconded by
Commissioner Silvis to leave the path uncleared for winter time use of
XC Skiing and sliding. Motion passed unanimously.
OLD/NEW
BUSINESS: Director Saarion reported that the warm weather is slowing down the
process of establishing ice rinks - which are to open Saturday, December
20. Parks crew will be flooding as soon as the temperatures remain below
freezing. The Parks crew will begin split shifts during school vacation so
that flooding can occur during the night so that rinks can be open during
the day.
Director Saarion also reported disappointment that the City Newsletter is
so late coming out- many November programs had to be canceled because
residents did not receive the Newsletter in time to register before programs
were to begin. This is frustrating because lots of time is put into making
arrangements for programs and it takes just as much time to cancel
arrangements - and there is no benefit to the resident. The City is in pursuit
• of a Newsletter delivery system that is reliable and prompt.
Commissioner Dentz reported on the selection process for the planning and
design group for Highway 10 Corridor. Scott is the Parks and Recreation
representative on this Hwy 10 Corridor Committee. Commissioner Dentz
reported that Hoisington, Koegler Group, Inc are being recommended
because they seemed to have creative ideas as well as good planning.

FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR
PARKS, RECREATION&FORESTRY
DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 1998
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION# 5210 APPROVING RICE CREEK
NORTH REGIONAL TRAIL MASTER PLAN AS PREPARED BY
RAMSEY COUNTY
Ramsey County has sent copies of the master plan for the northern section of the Rice Creek
Regional Trail for your review and ultimate approval. This master plan trail corridor begins at the
lakes area in Centerville and continues through Anoka County open spaces through Ramsey
County open spaces along Rice Creek, and again through Anoka County open space areas in
Fridley. The corridor is to provide both canoeing opportunities and trail opportunities from
Centerville lakes area to the Mississippi River. Because this corridor passes through several
cities, each city is asked to review the plan and provide approval. This project is funded through
Ramsey County initiatives with much of the funding grant monies through various Outdoor
Recreation and Trail funding sources.
The benefit to Mounds View residents is that they will have easy access to the corridor at County
Road H and Old Highway 8. This is the location for a trail head. The entrance road is already
paved leading to the proposed trailhead area(this was completed at the same time that Old
Highway 8 was reconstructed). Mounds View residents will have opportunity to hike, bike or
canoe the corridor going either east towards Centerville or west towards the Mississippi River.
At this point an Anoka County trail system along the Mississippi River heading north to Lake
George, Linwood and other connections are planned through a different project. While all these
connections may take time to complete, the loop system is planned and segments of it are
becoming a reality. This north corridor is one such segment.
The Council reviewed the plan at the February 2 Work Session and did not have questions or
concerns at that time. The Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed the plan. The
Commission made a motion which was seconded and passed to recommend City Council to
approve this master plan.
I believe that this trail system will be a great recreational benefit to the residents of Mounds View.
RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of Resolution# 5210 approving Rice Creek North
Regional Trail Master Plan.

MEMO
OF F ICE
To: Administrator Whiting
From: Mary Saarion
Subject: Recommendation for advisory group for community center activities.
Date: February 5, 1998
As requested I have prepared this proposal for advisory group participation and responsibility
regarding operations and activities of the Mounds View Community Center.
The Parks and Recreation Commission has the responsibility of advising Parks, Recreation&
Forestry Department staff regarding issues of leisure recreational opportunities and use of City
owned parks and recreation facilities. Both these responsibilities should carry over to new
recreation facilities at the Community Center as well as leisure recreation activities that are being
planned and held at the Community Center. I believe that the Parks and Recreation Commission
40 has done an excellent job of advising staff about the needs and desires of the community regarding
recreational programs and facility needs and uses. Therefore it is my recommendation that the
Parks and Recreation Commission continue to be the advisory group expanding their
responsibilities to include the recreational and operational activities of the Community Center.
In addition, I propose that a Mounds View Youth Council be organized for representation by the
youth community concerning activities that they would like to see at the Youth Center of the
Community Center. I believe that this would be a great learning experience as the youth would
have an opportunity to work with Parks and Recreation staff in programming activities on a
seasonal basis. This will give youth direct ownership of activities that are planned at the
Community Center Youth Center. In addition, I would like to see the Youth Council participate
in not only the planning but also the implementation of activities through volunteer activities.
Youth could be responsible for checking participants in at the door, cleaning up after activities,
decorating, preparing refreshment tables, seeking speakers or instructors, planning special event
activities such as parties or dances, filling pop machines, etc. I believe that there could be many
committees of the Youth Planning Council and therefore would prefer not to limit the Council
with rules and regulations but instead work with all the numbers of youth that are interested in
participating. I do not foresee additional burdens of another evening meeting because the Youth
Council and committees would meet after school which is within normal work hours.
Participation in the Youth Council and committees will, in itself, be a leisure recreational activity
that will have many benefits for participating youth including mentorship opportunities, planning
skills, supervisory and leadership activities, and way to exercise responsibility while ensuring that
• their planning encompasses many youths' interests and experiences.
In conclusion, I recommend that the Parks and Recreation Commission expand their

discussed the fact that the City's storm water management system could have one regional pond

benefit to the city. Whiting stated that this whole area needs to be researched. Ulrich reported a

Dear Barb:
Enclosed is the most recent revision to our proposal. The Town Planning component
111 is eliminated and the "real price estimates" is listed as an alternate.
The only fluid component of the proposal is the schedule will not start until the
contract is signed. Hence it now begins in January, though if the contract is not
signed until the end of February, that's when the schedule will kick in.
If you have any more questions, feel free to call. You can also e-mail me at
RobertGerloff@compuserve.com
Also if possible I'd like to see a copy of the contract before the signing time. My fax
is on a dedicated line 927-7301.
Again, thanks for all your work on this--every day we get a little bit closer to actually
beginning!

2. Properties with the lowest values and poorest visible conditions will be considered
first.
3. Properties should be equally distributed by location and value throughout the City
when possible, and provide a viable financial mix of properties to support Program
financial requirements.
I. Option 1: Acquisition of Property by EDA
1. Blight Qualification: Once an offering letter is received from the interested participant,
Program Staff shall arrange, by appointment, an inspection of the interior of the home to
establish blight qualification as outlined in Section G. The following information will
also be obtained during the inspection:
a. Demolition information for estimating demolition credit to builder.
b. A determination as to the existence of any hazardous materials on the property.
• This includes:
(1) a visual inspection

property's use for production, storage, deposit, or disposal of any toxic or
hazardous wastes or substances or asbestos products whatsoever, during the
time the interested participant owned the property and prior to the date of
interested participant purchased property. Properties with environmental
problems or hazards may be considered if the purchase price is reduced
sufficiently to cover increased site clearance and preparation costs.
If a property meets the blight test, acquisition procedures can continue. If the blight test
cannot be met, the interested participant will be notified in writing indicating the reasons
why the property cannot be considered for acquisition.
2. Need for Variances: If a variance is required to redevelop the property, the EDA may, at
its sole discretion, choose not to acquire the property. This determination will be made •
based on the project time lines, available resources, and availability of other properties
which do not require a variance. If the EDA chooses to pursue a variance to enable the
acquisition of the property, an application shall be filed following the usual procedures.
If a variance is not approved, the property cannot be considered for acquisition.

Staff has recently received a letter from Rebbeca Mendelsohn, owner of 7934 Woodlawn Drive,
offering her property for sale to the Economic Development Authority(Exhibit A). The property is
located just north of Hillview Road on the west side of Woodlawn Drive (see location map Exhibit B).
The proposed property is currently vacant and is listed on the market by a real estate company. Staff
has completed an inspection of the proposed property to verify the eligibility as outlined in the Housing
Replacement Program (HRP)policy. Item G of the HRP policy states:
41
G. Property Eligibility Criteria
P g tY
Program Staff shall evaluate each property for which an application is received to determine
its eligibility for the Program based on the criteria in this section. Program Staff shall
prepare property fact sheets for each property for which owners have expressed an interest in
participating in the Program, and shall make a drive by inspection. Properties will be
evaluated based on the following criteria outlined below. To be eligible for participation,
the house on the property must have at least one of the characteristics noted in 1, 2, 3 or 4
below.
*1. Substandard as to condition, size or usage.
*2. Obsolete and having a faulty design for block and area in which it is located.
*3. Deterioration which has caused blight to other adjoining properties.
4. Detrimental to the safety or health of abutting properties in the block.
Staff has determined that the subject property meets the characteristics as noted in item 1,2, and 3.
Because the property meets at least 2 of the 4 outlined criteria, it must also meet item numbers 5-8 in
Section G of the policy to be considered for purchase by the EDA. These items are as follows:
*5. A geographic mix of properties is achieved.
*6. The site can be developed with a single family home within city code
requirements, including zoning and conformance with the Comprehensive
Plan. The property may be considered if a variance can be obtained(see
410 Section I, Item 2.).
*7. The property must be owner-occupied or vacant before the owner makes
application to the Program. Non-homesteaded vacant property will be
considered for acquisition. Tenant-occupied properties will be considered by
the EDA on a case-by-case basis.
