City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Brian L. Erickson, Public Works Director/City Engineer
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8611, Municipal Consent for MnDOT I35W North Project
Background:
MnDOT is currently designing improvements for I-35W between Trunk Highway 36 (Roseville)
and Sunset Avenue (Lino Lakes), see attachment 1. The proposed improvements would include
adding a managed (MnPASS) lane in each direction to improve capacity and reduce congestion.
The project would potentially include modification or replacement of existing I-35W pavement and
bridges as well as the installation of noise walls at various locations along the corridor. Although
the project is not fully funded at this time MnDOT is moving forward with the final design and
environmental impact assessments so that the project can be implemented as funding becomes
available.
MN Statute 161.16 requires Municipal Consent for MnDOT improvements of this type. The
process begins with a Public Hearing concerning the final layout. Following the Hearing the City
Council has an additional 90 days to consider the final layout for approval. Should the Council
not act in that timeframe the layout is deemed as approved (per MN Statute 161.164).
Discussion:
The Notice of Public Hearing (attachment 2) was published in the Sun Focus on June 24, 2016.
This notice is a required part of the Municipal Consent process. Since the publication of this
notice MnDOT staff discovered a scheduling conflict and requested that the City reschedule the
Municipal Consent Public Hearing to a mutually agreeable date (attachment 3). The MnDOT staff
is available for the Council meeting on August 22, 2016 and will be here to discuss the project
with the Council and public at that time.
As part of this project MnDOT is anticipating the potential for reconstructing or adding noise walls
along I35W and US Highway 10. MnDOT, City staff, and property owner representatives
reviewed the location of the sound wall along US Highway 10 to establish possible right of way
obstructions in Colonial Village. During that walk through there were some minor obstructions,
but they can be corrected without significant effort.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council open the Public Hearing for Municipal Consent and then
continue the hearing to the August 22, 2016 meeting so that MnDOT staff can be present to
address questions of the public and City Council.
Respectfully submitted,
Brian L. Erickson, P.E. – Public Works Director/City Engineer

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 922, an Ordinance
Amending Chapter 105 of the Municipal Code to Increase
Council Member Compensation
Background:
At the June 6, 2016, work session, the City Council discussed the possibility of considering
an amendment to the City Code that would increase the annual compensation paid to the
Mayor and City Council members. There has not been an increase to Council member
wages since 2003. At the June 13, 2016, meeting, the Council discussed possible
increases but did not reach a consensus. After additional discussion on the matter,
direction to proceed with the requisite ordinance was provided at the July work session.
Discussion:
Staff researched what our neighboring and comparable cities pay their Mayor and Council
and determined that the Mounds View wage for Mayor is about 28% under the average,
and the wage for Council members is 6.25% under the average. Looking only at
comparable cities (excluding Blaine, Fridley, New Brighton and Shoreview,) Mounds View’s
Mayor and Council rates are 18% below and 1% above the average, respectively. While
an 18% increase may “sound” large, the actual dollar amount is not. Given that the last
compensation increase was enacted thirteen years ago, one could reasonably conclude an
increase is warranted.
The City Charter and MN Statutes indicate that the Mayor and Councilmembers shall
receive such compensation as is fixed by the Council. Mayor and Council compensation
amounts are codified in Section 105.03. Any increase to the compensation must be
enacted by ordinance, and shall not become effective until after the next municipal
election.
The City Council discussed numerous compensation scenarios and ultimately reached a
consensus on increasing the Mayor’s annual compensation from $6,300 to $7,500, an
increase of $1,200, and increasing the Council compensation to 90% of the mayoral rate,
which equates to $6,750, an increase of $1,050. (The current Council rate is 90% of the
Mayor’s rate.) The 2017 Budget will be adjusted to reflect the additional compensation.
Ordinance 923 Report
July 11, 2016
Page 2
Recommendation:
Introduce the first reading of Ordinance 922, an ordinance amending Chapter 105 of the
Municipal Code to Increase Mayor and City Council Member compensation to $7,500 and
$6,750, respectively, effective January 1, 2017.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mark Beer, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8612 Authorizing the Purchase of
Security Cameras for City Hall and the Community
Center
The City Council has taken steps to improve security in and around City facilities. The City
Council previously authorized the installation of network cables in the Community Center
and City Hall to facilitate the installation of security cameras at both locations. The City
budgeted $40,000 in the Special Projects fund for camera and security improvements for
City facilities. The network cable installation cost $11,819 and the cameras would cost
$29,391. The additional cost above the budget to install the cameras is $1,210. The Special
Projects fund has an additional $40,000 budgeted for Community Center improvements that
will not occur in 2016 so there is sufficient budget to complete the camera project. The City
received a grant of $2,000 from Bethlehem Baptist Church for cameras at the Community
Center.
Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the purchase of cameras for both
facilities. The network cabling is underway and the cameras can be installed this week or
early next week. The City of Roseville IT staff obtained 2 quotes on our behalf with Paragon
Solutions Group providing the lowest quote of $29,391. CDW provided a quote of $30,876.
We have purchased equipment from both companies in the past with no issues.
Respectfully Submitted,
