City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mark Beer, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8405 Adopting a Five Year Financial Plan
for 2016 thru 2020
Introduction:
The City Charter, Chapter 7.05, requires that a five year financial plan be prepared
annually. It must be presented at a public hearing and adopted by motion or resolution.
Notice was published in the Sun Focus and residents are welcome to comment on the
plan at this meeting.
The components of the Five Year Financial Plan are attached for Council consideration.
There are several components to the Five Year Financial Plan. These are the General
Fund Multi-year Operating Budget, the Vehicle & Equipment Replacement Plan, the
Capital Improvement Program, the Impact on Capital Projects Funds’ Cash Balance, and
Utility Rate Studies. Staff also included a summary of the financing plan for the Street
and Utility Improvement Program and annual vehicle replacement costs.
This five year plan should be considered a work-in-progress and a guide for Council and
Staff to make longer range decisions. As new information becomes available and
conditions change we can update the components to determine the longer range effect.
General Fund Multi-year Operating Budget:
The multi-year operating budget for the General Fund includes Local Government Aid
(LGA) at 90% of the anticipated amount for 2015 and beyond. The Council made a
transfer to the Special Projects Fund in 2014 to begin to replenish the fund and
budgeted for a small transfer in 2015. The City is projected to receive $655,531 in LGA
for 2015 and current law projects approximately $666,795 for 2016
The plan reflects a 2.50% increase in expenditures for 2016/17 and 3% for the remaining
years. A 2% levy increase is reflected for 2016 and 3.5% for all years after 2016. When
possible staff used known amounts instead of projections. The 2014 and 2015 levies
were increased by 2%, 2016 reflects a 2% increase but may be adjusted as we develop
the 2016 budget and better information becomes available. This version of the budget
assumes that there will be no additions to personnel or other major changes in operating
expenditures.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP):
The Capital Improvement Program has been updated to reflect changes in the project
list and is presented for your consideration. There are a number of projects that were
anticipated to be funded with unobligated tax increment, but will have to have another
funding source and are reflected as unfunded in the CIP.
Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Plan
The schedule has been updated to reflect retirements, new acquisitions, and
changes to expected useful lives. The current amounts transferred to the Vehicle
and Equipment Fund from the participating funds is sufficient to maintain
replacement levels except for the General Fund. The General Fund amount was
reduced to balance the budgets in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 but has been
systematically increased starting in 2013. There is an unfunded balance of
$175,000 compared with the prior year of $185,000.
Impact on Capital Projects Funds’ Cash Balances:
This presents the sources and uses and impacts to cash for the Capital Improvement
Program on the four capital projects funds for the five year period of this report, 2016
thru 2020.
Utility Rate Studies
Rate studies are included for the utility funds. (water, sewer, storm water, street light)
The water and sewer rates should be considered for an increase in 2016. The water
rate is proposed to increase by $.15 in 2016, which will add about $12 a year to the
average bill based on 20,000 gallons per quarter. The sewer rate is proposed to
increase by 8% in 2016, which will add $24 a year to the average residential bill. The
need for an increase in both the water and sewer funds is generated by significant
capital expenses from deferred maintenance, additional personnel and increases in
disposal charges by Metropolitan Council Environmental Services for the current and
previous years. Future increases will need to be considered until both funds stabilize.
The storm water rate can be maintained at the current level. Future increases will need
to be considered for dredging Silver View pond beginning in 2018. The street light rate
is proposed to increase by $.25 per quarter which will add $1 per year to residential
utility bills. The increase is needed to support the transition to LED trail/sidewalk
lighting. Water service repair insurance is currently $7.50 per quarter and we will need
to monitor this for future increases. There have been significant increases in repairs that
have occurred over the last three years.
Five Year Financial Plan Adoption:
The Five Year Plan is a blueprint for future years and is only one possible scenario. It is
intended to be changed as priorities change and more current information becomes
available. Staff welcomes Council comments and direction on any desired changes.
Once adopted the five year financial plan will be published on the City’s website.
Respectfully Submitted,
Mark Beer

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing - Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance
899, Amending Chapters 1102 and 1106 of the Mounds View
Zoning Code to Allow Columbaria on Properties owned by
Religious Institutions (ROLL CALL VOTE)
A Mounds View church member recently contacted the City to inquire if a columbarium would
be allowed on the church property. Their church was considering adding a columbarium and
the church member said many churches are now considering installing a columbarium for their
patrons. They are considering one or two structures that would be about 10 feet long and 6
feet tall. Many funeral homes report that more than 50% of deaths now result in cremation
rather than a burial, so it is understandable that more places are needed to store urns.
Mounds View does not currently have any cemeteries, nor does the City Code address
cemeteries or columbaria.
The Planning Commission and City Council have both discussed this and felt that a columbarium
could be considered an accessory building, with a few specific requirements added and a
definition. The Planning Commission approved Resolution 1022-15, recommending approval of a
code amendment for columbaria to be an allowed use on properties used as religious institutions.
The City Attorney made three recommendations after the first reading, so the following changes
were made to the ordinance:
- Removed the language “such as churches, chapels, temples and synagogues” from 1106.03
Subd. 8;
- Added an additional condition, “The religious institution must own the property on which the
columbarium is placed;”
- Removed the language “of the institution’s closing” in Subd. 8g.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Council adopt Ordinance 899. Staff also recommends the Council
consent to the publication of a summary of the ordinance as authorized by City Charter
section 3.07.

Heidi Heller, Planning Associate

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 900, Amending City
Code Titles 1000 and 1100 of the Mounds View Zoning Code to
Remove Language Pertaining to Religious Institutions
The City Attorney suggested that the City Code be amended to remove language pertaining to
religious institutions. In several areas of the Zoning Code where religious institutions are
described as a use, the language also includes “such as churches, chapels, temples and
synagogues.” The City Attorney recommends that this list of examples be removed so that the
Code isn’t inadvertently excluding a type of religious institution that isn’t on this list. There are
also a couple places in the code where only the word “church” is used, so the amendment also
includes changing church to religious institution.
The Planning Commission reviewed this code amendment on May 6, 2015, and approved
Resolution 1026-15, recommending approval of removing the language listing types of religious
institutions.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Council review Ordinance 900, amending City Code Titles 1000 and
1100, removing language pertaining to religious institutions.

From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 901, Amending City
Code Title 500, Business License Regulations, to Add Chapter
519, Christmas Trees
The City of Mounds View requires business licenses for Transient Merchants, which includes
Christmas Tree Sales. The transient merchants must also comply with the zoning code, which
requires a conditional use permit for outdoor sales for more than 10 days. The Mounds View
Zoning Code that would be applicable to 30 days of Christmas tree sales is Chapter 1112.03
(B-1, Neighborhood Business):
1114.04: CONDITIONAL USES: The following are conditional uses in a B-3 District
(requiring a conditional use permit based upon procedures set forth in and regulated by
Section 1125.01 of this Title):
Subd. 5. Open or outdoor service, sale and rental as a principal or accessory use and
including sales in or from motorized vehicles, trailers or wagons for a period greater
than ten (10) days; (Amended, Ord. 733, 5-10-04)
a. Outside services, sales and equipment rental connected with the principal use is
limited to thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of the principal use.

f. The provisions of subdivision 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and
satisfactorily met.
Ordinance 901 Staff Report
May 11, 2015
Page 2
There has been a Christmas tree sales business operating in Mounds View on commercial
properties for several years. Staff recently researched what 12 other metro cities require for
Christmas tree sales. All of the cities allow Christmas tree sales and none requires a
conditional use permit for this use. All of the cities simply require an annual permit or license,
and most allow the applications to be approved by city staff (3 cities required the City Council
to approve the license or permit).
Staff recommends that the City Code be amended to better accommodate Christmas tree sale
businesses. Since this is a business that only operates for approximately 30 days each year,
staff feels that requiring a conditional use permit is unnecessary. Staff suggests that the City
Code be amended to add Christmas Tree Sales as a new business license type to Title 500,
Business License Regulations, and simply require an annual business license for this type of
business. The City Council should also determine what the annual fee should be, but staff
suggests it be the same as the 1-month permit fee for peddlers/transient merchants/solicitors
which is currently $204.00.
The Planning Commission reviewed this code amendment on May 6, 2015, and approved
Resolution 1025-15, recommending approval of adding Chapter 519, Christmas Trees to Title
500, Business License Regulations.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Council review Ordinance 901, amending City Code Title 500,
adding Chapter 519 for Christmas Tree sales.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 902, Amending City
Code Title 1100, Adding Requirements for Temporary Outdoor
Food Sales
The City of Mounds View requires business licenses for Transient Merchants, and the licenses
can be issued for up to one year. There haven’t been many merchants over the years that
have temporarily sold things in the city – it’s typically only been a seafood company that will
sell from their truck for one or two days a few times a year. Two years ago, a food truck owner
applied for a transient merchant license. Since they are selling prepared food, they also must
get a license from the Ramsey County Department of Health, which is in effect for 21 days at a
single location. The Mounds View Zoning Code that is applicable to this type of temporary use
is Chapter 1112.03 (B-1, Neighborhood Business):
1112.03: ACCESSORY USES: The following are permitted accessory uses in a B-1
District:
Subd. 5. Temporary open or outdoor services, sales and rental as an accessory use and
including sales in or from motorized vehicles, trailers, or wagons, subject to the following:
(Added, Ord. 735, 5-10-04)
a. The activity shall not continue for a period greater than ten (10) consecutive
days or for more than three (3) ten (10) day periods per year. Permit periods
must be separated by a minimum of thirty (30) days. (Added, Ord. 733, 5-
10-04)
b. Notwithstanding Article 13, Section 7 of the Minnesota Constitution, a permit
issued by the City shall be obtained prior to commencing the activity.
(Added, Ord. 733, 5-10-04)
c. A permit will not be issued without the written consent of the property owner.
(Added, Ord. 733-5-10-04)
d. The sales area shall be grassed or surfaced to control dust. (Added, Ord.
733, 5-10-04)
e. The activity shall not take up parking space as required for conformity of this
Title. (Added, Ord. 733, 5-10-04)
f. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be
visible from the public right-of-way or from neighboring residences and shall
be in compliance with Sections 1103.08 and 1103.09 of this Title.
Temporary Outdoor Food Sales Staff Report
May 11, 2015
Page 2
The food truck has been operating in Mounds View business parking lots for the last two
summers, but they were switching locations every 10 days in order to comply with the zoning
code time limit. The county food truck rules allow the owner to operate for 21 days in the same
location, so it became confusing for them to comply with both sets of rules and time limits.
Currently if a merchant wants to have temporary outdoor sales for more than 10 days, a
conditional use permit is required for each location where the sales would occur. The State
Statute definitions for these types of temporary food sales are:
Mobile Food Unit.
“Mobile food unit” means a food and beverage service establishment that is a vehicle
mounted unit, either motorized or trailered, operating no more than 21 days annually at
any one place or is operated in conjunction with a permanent business licensed under
this chapter or chapter 28A at the site of the permanent business by the same individual
or company, and readily movable, without disassembling, for transport to another
location.
Seasonal Temporary Food Stand.
“Seasonal temporary food stand” means a food and beverage service establishment
that is a food stand which is disassembled and moved from location to location, but
which operates no more than 21 days annually at any one location.
Staff recommends that the Zoning Code be amended to better accommodate temporary
outdoor food sales, and to be consistent with state and county food truck permit timelines. The
food truck has been successful in Mounds View and a code amendment would make it easier
for them to operate here. Staff suggests that the code amendment be specific to temporary
outdoor food sales rather than any type of sales so that we don’t get other types of vendors
selling in parking lots for long periods of time.
The Planning Commission reviewed this code amendment on May 6, 2015, and approved
Resolution 1024-15, recommending approval of adding specific requirements for temporary
outdoor food sales.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Council review Ordinance 902, amending Zoning Code Title 1100, by
adding regulations for temporary outdoor food sales.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8415, a Resolution Approving an Exemption for
CenturyLink to Install and Deploy Aerial Fiber Optic Facilities
in Mounds View
Introduction:
On May 4, 2015, CenturyLink representatives appeared before the City Council to review a
request to be exempted from Mounds View City Code Section 911.05, which requires that
all new or repaired utility facilities be located underground. The section of Code does
provide the City Council with the discretion to approve an exemption in situations where
undergrounding is not technically or economically feasible. CenturyLink asserts that
undergrounding is not economically feasible at this time. (Refer to their attached letter
dated May 4, 2015.)
Discussion:
On March 19, 2015, Interim Public Works Director Don Peterson and I met with
representatives from CenturyLink to discuss a fiber-to-the home project that was initiated
without a City permit and installed contrary to the City Code which requires undergrounding
of new or replaced facilities. The company acknowledges they made a mistake in initiating
the project without a permit and apologized for the oversight and any problems it caused.
The company suggested they would like to apply for an exemption pursuant to the City
Code.
At the March 23, 2015, City Council meeting, staff asked if the Council would like to have
CenturyLink come to a future meeting to address the “work without a permit” issue as well
as to consider their request for an exemption. The Council indicated a desire to meet with
CenturyLink and suggested that occur at their May work session, on May 4, 2015. At the
work session, representatives from CenturyLink were in attendance and took full
responsibility for the work that had begun without the necessary permit. They answered
questions about the proposed fiber optic deployment and addressed why they felt the
deployment wasn’t economically viable if forced to underground the fiber facilities.
The City Council reviewed Section 911.05 of the City Code which allows for the exemption
and agreed that since CenturyLink already had its copper infrastructure hanging from poles
and the fiber new service would be supplementing the existing service rather than replacing
it, they would be amenable to an exemption. While CenturyLink was targeting only two
neighborhoods to begin with, the exemption would apply on a city-wide basis, but only
where CenturyLink already had existing copper services deployed aerially. The exemption
would NOT apply where there were no services or where the services were already under
ground.

Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 8415, a resolution approving an exemption to CenturyLink for the
deployment of fiber optic facilities to be hung aerially due to economic considerations.

RESOLUTION APPROVING AN EXEMPTION TO CENTURYLINK TO
AERIAL LY DEPLOY FIBER OPTIC FACILITIES IN THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
WHEREAS, Section 911.05 of the Mounds View City Code requires that “permanent
replacement, relocation or reconstruction of utilities be located and maintained
underground; and,
WHEREAS, Section 911.05 of the Code provides discretion to the City Council to
allow exemptions to the requirements in situations where undergrounding is not technically
or economically feasible; and,
WHEREAS, CenturyLink asserts that it would not be economically feasible to deploy
fiber facilities underground while their copper facilities would remain above ground and
requested Council support for the exemption pursuant to Section 911.05; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council agrees that economic feasibility challenges would exist
and persist by maintaining two separate and redundant facilities in the City, one above
ground and the other below ground.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mounds View City Council
approves an exemption for CenturyLink, pursuant to its authority to do so in Section 911.05
of the Mounds View City Code, to allow for fiber optic facilities to be deployed aerially in the
City, subject to the following:
1. CenturyLink, its subsidiaries, contractors, or subcontractor working on the
company’s behalf, shall obtain Right of Way Permits from the City for each
contiguous build out area, shall pay the required fees and shall work in
compliance with all permit and City Code requirements.
2. This exemption shall not apply where CenturyLink’s facilities are already located
underground or where CenturyLink facilities do not presently exist.
3. This exemption shall not supersede or take precedence over any subsequent
lawful action that would otherwise require undergrounding of utilities.
Adopted this 11th day of May, 2015.

impacted by the new businesses and transit that would be focused on TCAAP. She reported that 13
six local businesses would be impacted by a proposed County road closure. Ramsey County 14

trunk sewer lines, 900 man holes and two lift stations. He noted much of this infrastructure was 18

over time leaks can occur. He discussed how the Public Works Department inspects and 20
televises the City’s sanitary sewer lines. He noted that slip lining was one method used to repair 21
damaged clay pipe lines. 22

The Council supported this expense. 21

Regular Meeting Page 8
City Administrator Ericson noted he and Interim Public Works Director Peterson met with 1
representatives from CenturyLink last week to discuss fiber line installation and the potential for 2
faster internet services in the City of Mounds View. He explained that City Code requires that 3
this material be installed underground, however CenturyLink was going against the City’s 4
requirements and the work had to be shut down. He read City Code pertaining to this matter 5
noting that an exemption could be granted by the City Council. He noted that a $500,000 6
investment had been made by CenturyLink for the fiber line to be installed above ground on 7
poles and could not easily be reused elsewhere. He questioned if the Council wanted to have a 8
discussion with CenturyLink regarding this matter. 9
10
Council Member Mueller expressed concern with the fact that CenturyLink did not follow the 11
City’s code or permitting process. She was in favor of addressing CenturyLink at a future 12
meeting in order to address their ethics and way of doing business. 13
14
Council Member Hull and Council Member Meehlhause were in favor of speaking further to 15
CenturyLink. 16
17

worksession meeting. 19
20
Finance Director Beer stated the annual audit was complete. He anticipated there would be a 21
presentation on the audit at the second meeting in April. 22
23
Interim Public Works Director Peterson discussed preliminary estimates for the Silver View Trail 24
improvements. He noted that some areas may need six to eight inches of class five in order to 25
address the organic soil conditions. He commented that this would bring the project costs to 26
$371,020. The City budgeted $150,000 for the project and also had $200,000 for the design of 27
the Public Works building. He questioned how the Council wanted to proceed with this trail 28
improvement project. 29
30
Council Member Gunn believed the trail improvements were necessary and should be completed 31
in 2015. She proposed using Medtronic funds in order to assist in covering the expense of this 32
trail. She commented that by using these funds, the City would not have to raise taxes for the 33
project expense in the future. 34
35
Council Member Mueller agreed the trail needed to be done in 2015 and done correctly. She 36
questioned if there were any TIF dollars available to assist with the expense. Finance Director 37
Beer noted the City had no TIF funds available for this project. 38
39
Council Member Hull supported the project. 40
41
Council Member Meehlhause wanted to see the trail completed in 2015 as well. He believed that 42
there were funds available within the budget to cover the expense of the project, even if it meant 43
delaying the design of the new Public Works building. He was willing to look at using the 44
Medtronic funds. He reported that the City did not transfer $250,000 from the levy reduction 45
Mounds View City Council March 23, 2015
Regular Meeting Page 9
fund last year, which could potentially be used for this project. Finance Director Beer discussed 1
a transfer that was made into the Special Projects Fund. 2
3
Interim Public Works Director Peterson stated that if the Council wanted to proceed with the 4
project, he could have the plans and specs approved in April. This would ensure that the project 5
would be completed in time for the Festival in the Park. 6
7
Mayor Flaherty supported the trail improvement project as well and understood the trail needed 8
to be replaced. He wanted to hold further discussion on how the project would be funded. 9

Public Accountants (verbal report) 13
14
Aaron Nielsen, CPA with MMKR, reviewed the 2014 audit with the Council. He reported the 15
City was issued an unmodified opinion, which meant the financial statement was fairly presented 16
as of December 31, 2014. He noted there was a lack of segregation of duties but understood this 17
was due to the size of the City. He provided comment on the City’s tax capacity. He discussed 18
the City’s fund balances and revenues changes. He provided an overview on the utility 19
operations for the previous year and commended the City on its financial efforts. 20

23

to the late spring. 25

B. Resolution 8372, Adopting a Special Assessment Levy for a Private Sewer 3
Improvement at 8130 Edgewood Drive. 4
5
Finance Director Beer explained that last summer there was a sewer line break at 8130 6
Edgewood Drive. The property owner signed a waiver of assessment, which allowed the City to 7
make the repair. In the interim, the property owner filed a claim against the City and the 8
insurance company had denied their claim. 9
10
Finance Director Beer recommended that the Council adopt the 10-year special assessment, 11
which would have a 5% interest rate and $35 administrative fee for the private sewer 12
improvements at 8310 Edgewood Drive. 13
14
Peter Slabiak, 8310 Edgewood Drive, thanked the Council for allowing him to voice his 15
concerns. He explained that the entire assessment process has been a learning experience for 16
him. He indicated that the initial estimate for the repairs was $4,000 to $7,000. He noted that 17
the repairs came in at $12,600. This did not sit well with him due to the fact dewatering had to 18
occur in order for the contractors to complete the work. He questioned why the dewatering 19
expense was not written into the initial estimate as this may have led him to seek additional 20
quotes for the work. 21
22
Mayor Flaherty asked if the paper he signed had the initial estimate amount on it. Mr. Slabiak 23
reported that the agreement he signed for improvements in the public right of way, the City 24
estimated the expense to be $4,000 to 7,000. 25
26
Mayor Flaherty reviewed the findings from the League of Minnesota Cities noting that the City 27
was not negligent with regard to this case. He discussed how the Council was charged with 28
spending the people’s money noting he would struggle with spending City funds on this 29
assessment as the improvements provided personal gain to the Slabiak’s alone. He apologized 30
that this happened to the Slabiak’s and that the sewer problem was worse than originally 31
anticipated. 32
33
Mr. Slabiak responded that he was an active member of the community and believed he was a 34
benefit to the neighborhood as he has been rehabbing a rundown home. 35
36
Council Member Meehlhause asked if the Slabiak’s pursued another vendor to complete the 37
sewer repair. 38
39
Mr. Slabiak indicated that he had spoken to other vendors, but there was a delay in getting a 40
contractor on site to complete the work and he was told by the City to make the fix immediately. 41
42
Council Member Meehlhause reported that if the Slabiak’s had hired a vendor to complete this 43
work, it would have been on the homeowner’s dime and would not be assessed over 10 years. 44
45
Mounds View City Council April 13, 2015
Regular Meeting Page 4
Mr. Slabiak asked if there was some sort of compromise that would be reached given the fact the 1
dewatering expense was left off the original estimated expense. 2
3
Mayor Flaherty apologized for the situation but stated there was nothing the City could do at this 4
time. 5
6
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8372, 7
Adopting a Special Assessment Levy for a Private Sewer Improvement at 8130 Edgewood Drive. 8
9
Council Member Hull asked if the City could split the difference and cover $5,000 of the 10
expense. City Administrator Ericson reported that the findings on this case proved that the City 11
was not negligent and therefore was not responsible for the expense of the repairs. 12
13
Mr. Slabiak expressed frustration with the City and discussed a recent sewer line repair that was 14
made at an apartment complex. He questioned why the City assisted in this instance but was not 15
willing to help him. 16
17
Mayor Flaherty apologized again but stated that the City was not able to help in this case. 18

Interceptor Utility Vehicle with setup costs. He reported that the Police Department had $65,000 26
budgeted for vehicle purchases in 2015. He noted that a 2009 Crown Victoria would be replaced 27
with the new vehicle. He explained that the base price of the vehicle was $26,000 and the set up 28
costs were $9,400. 29
30
Mayor Flaherty asked why the 2008 Crown Victoria wasn’t being replaced. Police Chief Kinney 31
commented that this vehicle had fewer miles than the 2009 Crown Victoria. 32

with this company and recommended the Council award the construction contract for Area H to 45

The state then audits these forms and repots back to the City. After review of the City’s mileage, 26
it appears that Mounds View is over on its MSA funding by 1.33 miles. He stated that all streets 27
were reviewed by the City with the assistance of Stantec. He reported that City staff contacted 28
the State to see what its options were and the City was told it would need to give back roads, 29
preferably that have not been constructed in the last 19 years. 30
31
Interim Public Works Director Peterson recommended that the following roads be revoked as 32
MSA streets: 33
34
Woodale Drive - Edgewood to Quincy Street 35
Quincy Street - Woodale Drive to County Road H2 36
Bronson Drive - Edgewood Drive to Quincy Street 37
Jackson Drive - County Road I to Hillview Road 38
39

from the City to the State, noting the funding would be taken from future payouts. Staff 41
recommended that the Council adopt a Resolution approving the revocation of MSA Streets. 42
43
Council Member Meehlhause asked when the State would take back their funds from the City. 44
Interim Public Works Director Peterson explained that this may affect funding in 2016, but noted 45
Mounds View City Council April 13, 2015
Regular Meeting Page 6
the reimbursement would be made incrementally and would not be taken all at once. 1
2
Mayor Flaherty asked if the City took MSA funds for these proposed routes. Interim Public 3
Works Director Peterson stated the City has not received funding for these proposed routes in the 4
past 20 years. 5

of Bids for the Silver View Park Trail Rehabilitation Project. 16
17
Project Coordinator Stenglein explained Silver View Park Trail was originally constructed 18
around the pond in wood chips. The trail was converted to asphalt in 1993. The specifications 19
for this trail required an eight-foot wide trail with four inches of aggregate base. He reported that 20
this trail has failed due to environmental degradation, poor soil conditions and was in need of 21
rehabilitation. 22
23
Project Coordinator Stenglein indicated that in September of 2014, geotechnical samples were 24
taken along the trail and it was found that organic material and wood chips were the base for the 25
trail. AET was recommending that the trail be reconstructed with two inches of asphalt and eight 26
inches of base material. He noted that Bolton & Menk met with AET to discuss the use of the 27
trail. 28
29
Project Coordinator Stenglein reported that staff has been working with Bolton & Menk to 30
finalize the specifications for the trail. He noted that the project was anticipated to cost over 31
$100,000, which would require the public bidding process. Staff recommended that the Council 32
approve the bid documents and authorize staff to advertise for bids for Silver View Park Trail 33
rehabilitation project. 34
35
Mayor Flaherty asked how much the City budgeted for this project. Project Coordinator 36
Stenglein explained that the Council budgeted $150,000 in 2015 for the trail rehabilitation. He 37
indicated the estimate for the project was approximately $340,000. 38
