The property owner, Rajiv Garg, attended the meeting to express objection to the amount of the assessment and City policies relating to the repairs. Discussion: After hearing Mr. Garg's concerns and testimony regarding the proposed assessment, the City Council moved to defer approval of the special assessment to allow for an opportunity to negotiate a mutually agreeable resolution to avoid a potential challenge to the assessment. Mayor Flaherty and Council Member Hull were selected to attend a negotiation session with City staff, the City Attorney, Mr. Garg and Mr. Garg's attorney. The negotiation session took place on January 8, 2014. From this negotiation, a tentative agreement was made on a payment less than originally proposed subject to Council approval. The City Council met in closed session to consider the proposed settlement on January 27, 2013, at which time direction was received to prepare a settlement agreement in the amount of $30,000.

At the same time, the Church expressed its desire to sponsor and support worthy community endeavors and created the "Mounds View Service Project Fund" pledging annual donations totaling $25,000. They envisioned the fund to be used to help meet certain community needs jointly identified by the city and the Church that would be "in harmony" with their mission and values. Discussion: Representatives from the City, the Community Center and the Park & Rec Commission have discussed potential funding opportunities for the second half 2013 service project fund donation which totaled $18,285. A number of programs and improvements which had been reviewed by the representative were highlighted for Bethlehem's consideration. The Church's Pastor for Outreach, Vince Johnson, responded with a letter dated February 7, 2014, recommending the following disbursement schedule: ® Safe Afterschool Programs for Youth $2,000 ® Music in the Park $1,000 ® Y -Partners $2,000 MV Community Resource Center $3,000 Economic Development & Marketing $2,500 2 AED replacements in squad cars $3,200 2 Mobile Dental Clinics $1,300 ® Sr. Wellness Program $1,500 Reroof Shelter at Hillview Park $1,785 The Council may have questions about specific line items within this list; for those that aren't as self-explanatory, I have attached additional information. Safe Afterschool Programs for Youth This was requested by the MVCCNMCA. Also referred to as the Teen Leaders Club, funds f would be used to provide a safe after school environment for youth in the Mounds View Area. We have seen a great growth in this program, both in the youth participating and in impact on the community. In 2014 we are looking to increase this program's impact and number of youth served. BBC Donation Acceptance Feb 24, 2014 Page 2 Y Partners Y Partners is the funding mechanism whereby families in need are provided assistance or full scholarships so that they are able to take part in community programming offerings at the Community Center. MV Community Resource Center BBC contributions helped fund the employment of a Community Social Worker (CSW) to coordinate services at the Community Support Center; a faith, service, school collaboration at Pike Lake Ed Center, in order to prevent and divert homelessness and housing instability in our local region. (Additional information attached for Council reference.) AED Replacements in Squad Cars The AED units were originally donated by Medtronic in 2006, and they are approaching the end of their designed life—the manufacturer has put us on notice that they will discontinue service and maintenance on these units at the end of the year. We have sixteen units total (one in each squad plus one at City Hall, the Community Center, one of the park buildings and the public works garage.) Each AED unit costs $1,600. Mobile Dental Clinics BBC has supported this service for the last few funding cycles, providing dental services to residents in need living in the manufactured home communities and elsewhere. The service is provided by "Medical Teams International." Each mobile dental clinic costs $650. Senior Wellness Program Requested by the MVCCNMCA, funding will allow us to offer a program designed for 60+ individuals looking to make a change to their lifestyles. Small group, Personal Trainer lead, sample foods and demos of exercises aimed at their skill and need level would be provided. Recommendation: Attached for your consideration is Resolution 8214, a resolution which accepts the donation from Bethlehem Baptist Church in the amount of $18,285 and authorizes the distribution of the donations according to the Church's recommendations.

She was in need of help with her rent. She had been attending school to get her nursing degree, but had experienced a health set -back that had caused her current financial hardship, and delayed her plan of taking her RN exam. She worked as a personal care attendant and had lived with her son in her current residence for over so years, and this had been the first time that she was unable to pay her rent. The CSC coordinator referred Ronda to CEAP, which was able to help with a portion of the rent if the remaining amount of approximately SSso could be found. Thanks to contributions from GracePoint, Messiah, and Abiding Saviorthe CSC coordinator was able to guarantee the landlord the balance and the issue was resolved, and an eviction was prevented. Connie's Story A Mounds View faith partner referred Connie to the Community Support Center for help with her rent. Connie, who is severely disabled due to a back injury, had begun to attend the church on Sundays. She had recently been pushed down and robbed in North Minneapolis, immediately after cashing her disability payment. Because she walks with a walker, she was an easytarget for her assailants. A witness called the police, who came to the scene, but Connie was told by the police that because neither she nor the witness could describe the attackers and because cash was stolen, which couldn't be traced, there was not much they could do. Connie relies on public transportation, which is difficult for her due to her mobility issues. The CSC s -stop service really was a benefit for her as it prevented her from having to make multiple trips to resolve the problem. The CSC social worker contacted three local churches regarding the rent. All three pledged financial amounts to help resolve the issue. The CSC social worker also communicated with and guar- anteed payment with the landlord. Due to the coordination of services available at the CSC, and contributions from GracePoint, Messiah Lutheran and Christ the King, Connie was able to secure her rent, avoid eviction and avert home- lessness. Amy's Story Amy was referred to the CSC by the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf. She had lost herjob z months prior to that, and had re- ceived no income since then because her unemployment benefits had been delayed. She had been unable to pay her Xcel Energy bill and her rent. She was very worried about the situation, as she had z children and was expecting a third. She brought with her an Xcel disconnect notice and a statement of nearly Sgoo due in rent, with an eviction imminent. Because of prior use, she was not eligible for emergency assistance or CEAP rental assistance. The CSC contacted a local church and coordinated a response that included contributions from the CSC, the church, and Amy herself: The CSC was able to pay the Xcel bill with Bremer Flex funds, Amy herself was able to make a payment of $600 towards her rent now that her unemployment payments were finally dispersed, and Christ the King helped with the rest of the rent amount. Due to this 3 -way partnership, the family situation was stabilized, and an eviction and utility shut-off prevent- ed. The CSC social worker had given Amy several job search resources, and now that her housing crisis has been re- solved, Amy is able to focus on her employment search. MOUNDS VIEW COMMUNITY SUPPORT Cf1VTE72 (CSC) Success Stories, Continued: John's Story John, a single father, with a so -year old son living with him came to the CSC, feeling completely hopeless, and in need of financial assistance for his rent. He had recently gone through a divorce, which had set a series of negative things in motion in his life, including losing hisjob. He was receiving approximately $400 weekly in unemployment, but the ma- jority of his unemployment benefits were being deducted to pay child support for his z other children, so that he had less than S600 monthly in income. The CSC coordinator urged him to work with SMRLS (previously Legal Aid), who could help him file a motion to reduce the amount taken out of his benefits, but this would take a few weeks to go through. Meanwhile, he had paid his last S3oo towards this month's rent and still owed S5oo. SMRLS was willing to ap- ply to the St Paul Foundation on his behalf for the remaining amount of S5oo, but the St Paul Foundation would not grant the amount unless there was a guarantee that the following month's rent would be covered. John was not eligi- ble for Emergency Assistance or CEAP. Thanks to contributions from Christ the King, St John's and Messiah, the CSC coordinator was able to guarantee all but $75 for John's $775 rent, and John was able to cover the remaining amount himself. The St Paul Foundation paid their portion and an eviction was prevented. John is now taking exams for his GED through Adult Basic Education at Pike Lake, and will be enrolled in Ramsey County's Displaced Workers Program to re-train for additionaljob opportunities. He is deeply appreciative of the resources he was connected to through the CSC and the support he received from his community. Patricia's Story Patricia came to the CSC in need of S3.,o95 to pay her rent and late fees in order to avoid eviction for herself, her hus- band and a children, ages sz and 6. Her husband had experienced an emergency health issue z months prior, which had caused him to lose hisjob and the family's income. Patricia was very concerned about the welfare of her children and that they not be negatively impacted by the situation. As soon as her husband's health condition allowed, Patricia began job searching in order to provide forthe family and was excited that she had been hired as a receptionist with a start date within the week. Initially, she had sold many of her personal belongings in order to raise some cash to keep the family afloat. The family was not eligible for Ramsey County emergency assistance, as they had received help to pay previous months'rent. Nor were they eligible for assis- tance from CEAP, who had helped the family with ist month's rent and the deposit when they moved into their apart- ment. Patricia was encouraged to make an appointment with a therapist that she had been referred to in order to deal with the pressure that she was experiencing and to have a place where she could receive the emotional support she needed in orderto be able to continue to be'the rock" forthe family. She was also referred to Community Action to apply for energy assistance. A $ao gas card was given to help with transportation to her newjob until she received her sst pay check. Meanwhile, the CSC coordinator contacted CSC faith partners and thanks to GracePoint, Christ the King, Bethlehem Baptist and St John's, the rent amount due was guaranteed, and the eviction process was halted. Patricia and her fami- ly have now begun attending one of the churches who helped them, and are extremely grateful for the support they found. 11 tit December -January4 Date of Report: February 7, 2014 Report Submitted to: Bethlehem Baptist Church Bethlehem Baptist contributions helped fund the employment of a Community Social Worker (CS99 to coordinate services at the Community Support Center; a faith, service, school collaboration at Pike Lake Ed Center, in order to prevent and divert homelessness and housing instability. Report Narrative Through collaborative partner referrals and Ministry Teams and on-site supportive services, we anticipated serving about 300— 480* individuals/families In a year, thus intervening or preventing homelessness. We also anticipated hosting group classes (approximately 240 people a year). Our tag line is "Neighbors helping neighbors and partners helping partners. " This means that our face to face services with neighbors and our phone and collateral supports with partners all are included in `numbers served'. From December, 2012 through January, 2014: 172 REFERRALS/NUMBERS SERVED: Face to face (163) Phone (304) • Collateral referrals (350) TOTAL referrals/numbers served*: 817 (anticipated 300 — 480). We hit our target in this area. *The total UNDUPLICATED count of individuals/families served in this time period is 172. *duplicated count. CLASSES: • Parenting Class 5/29113 (12 attendees) all female, 3 African American, 2 Latino and 7 Caucasian; ages 18 -30 (10); ages 30 — 42 (2) • Financial Management Class 4122/13 (0 attendees) • Anxiety/Depression Class (6/28113) (0 attendees) *We had anticipated 20 participants attending classes monthly. We fell very short on this outcome. ALLYSUPPORT: • 4 Ally partnerships established (1 est. in Feb, 2013; white, single male); (I est. in Aug, 2013; Southeast Asian single father with 3 children); (I est. in Nov 2013; African American single mother with 4 children); (1 est. in Jan. 2014; Latina single mother with 6 children) *We anticipated making 2 ally matches a month and again fell short on this outcome. What progress have you made toward your original goals and objectives? The TOTAL referrals/numbers served*: 817 (anticipated 300 — 480). We hit our target in this area. *The total UNDUPLICATED count of individuals/families served in this time period is 172. We hit our target in this area. Because we were able to use the CSW position to serve our neighbors readily at the CSC, interest in the collective work began to grow and partners remained engaged throughout the year, despite our ability to mobilize the volunteer roles and responsibilities of the center. Engaging and growing our relationships with the faith community was a key success in Year I's pilot. One example of our growth in the partnership development is the fact that we now have engaged our Senior Pastors in discussions about financially sustaining the operations of the CSC through `Covenant Partnerships' that are multi- yearfocused What activities led to meeting these goals and objectives? ® One on one, face to face, phone interactions with neighbors via the CSW. ® One on one, face to face, phone interactions with CSW and partners where coordination of services occurred through the CSW which helped build trust among partners and facilitated positive outcomes with neighbors. This work proved to partners that a collaborative effort to support neighbors experiencing complex barriers and housing instability is afar better and more respectful approach in transforming situations from crisis to stability. ® Speaking engagements directed at connecting with our faith partners. The focus was on the value of capacity building, teaming and service coordination vs. referring and `handing off a family/individual to the CSC. ® Monthly multi -sector team meetings and monthly advisory team meetings were held. ® A logo was created that illustrated a `huddle' of all working together to find solutions that strengthen housing stability in the community. With this logo, came the tag line: Neighbors Helping Neighbors; Partners Supporting Partners. We're trying to get away from this being just one more program in the sea ofprograms; and make clear that this is a multi -sector collaboration that is strengths focused and community based. ® The work we did to roll out the CSC at church picnics, blockparties, and social concerns meetings and social justice leadership groups has helped solidify our model in the community. The communiques and calling cards (vs. a brochure) helped get the CSC information into the hands of ordinary community members not involved directly with the formation of the CSC. These calling cards will continue to help our community `own' this work and mobilize this effort as community based ® Including senior pastors in our dialogue has been an incredible lift to the work of the CSC. The population served or community reached during the grant period: Demographics of neighbors served in the timeframe December 2012 — January 2014: o Total served: 172 o Male: 34 o Female: 138 ® White: 72 ® Afi^ican Americana 65 ® Native American: 1 ® Latino: 11 ® SEAsian:2 ® Arabic:3 ® Multiracial:4 ® Unknown: 14 All served lived or had children who attend the Mounds View and Roseville Area School districts, which consists of New Brighton, Mounds View, Arden Hills, Shoreview, St Anthony, Roseville, Little Canada, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale andportions of Maplewood. Unanticipated results, either positive or negative: Much of the work of the CSC in its first year was crisis focused. Our main goal this coming year is to be more long-term/relationship focused in everything we do. We didn't anticipate having so many homelessness/near homeless individuals or families coming to the Center for services; nor did we anticipate that our partners would need our services in cobbling funding together for their clients as well. Resources are very limited and the CSC was seen as a stop gap service when no other resources were available. The Ally numbers served were less than anticipated, because almost all of the service occurred at the CSC through the CSW and not through "ministry planning groups ". (The Circles of Support team was run through Starfish Ministries and only attracted 4 mentor teams throughout the year). The classes/groups that we hoped to create at the center did come to pass, but very few people showed up for these classes, even when we surveyed folks and created the presentations based on what they asked for. What did you learn because of this grant? We have learned so much about the crisis housing response system and how it is so reactive and crisis based that it perpetuates crisis behaviors and toxic stress in our providers and our neighbors, their families and their children. We understand that there are so few resources and the payor of last resort' is the principle that drives these systems. However, our partners are working on moving from this crisis - oriented principle towards one that calms down the process enough to engage families and individuals in a responsive and long term view of goal setting and relationship development. This is going to be a very difficult transitionfor everyone, as we are all, both neighbors and providers alike, conditioned to wait until for a crisis to `ripen' in order to respond. In Year 2 of this work, we are working on instituting a two-tiered approach: 1) that addresses the immediate crisis response, and 2) that addresses a 6-9 month goal orientated relationship with mentors and volunteers providing a social support system with CSW supervision and support. We hope in Tier], a corps of volunteers will provide navigational support with the neighbor under CSW supervision. Will you make any changes based on these results? Yes. The main change we intend to make is to ask each faith partner fill out a "Commitment Form " that guarantees human, financial and in kind support to the CSC. This will ensure we have a broad base of support for individuals and families referred to the CSC moving forward. We will also need to establish work teams to address the need to broaden outreach to our faith communities. Lastly, we are working to concretize the role of Allies, Navigators and other volunteer roles for the CSC. Trainings will be based on this work in the near future. In order to support the calming down and longer-term view and develop a truly responsive community based initiative, we are working with our partners to follow a defined partner - agreed upon protocol and messaging that establishes our wish for all to work as partners in creating short AND long term stability. The work of the CSC relies on interdependence and a prevention/proactive resource development focus along with the development of informal resources/community connections. Goal setting and incentivizing progress will be the tools that mobilize this systems change. Although the focus for Year I was establishing and strengthening partner buy -in and trust through rigorous integration of all partner input; this year, the change we are already making and will continue to make, is to help our partners discern whether or not the CSC model is the right fit for them. Now that the CSC model has had a year to prove its value in the community and our principles are becoming clearer, it's important that all partners understand what the CSC can do and what it can't do; what its purpose is and what its purpose is not. These boundaries and clear expectations have further supported the progression of our efforts and clarified roles and responsibilities of all involved. Are there any other important outcomes as a result of this grant? The mostpositive of outcome was on a more macro level than service level and that is the development of anti povertyfaith and civic engagement initiative where multi -sector stakeholders provide human, financial and in-kind services for the purpose of helping our neighbors achieve housing stability. This outcome is where the majority of our first year's efforts went; to develop trusting partnerships across the school -faith -service continuum, to create a collaborative governance that is representative of all stakeholders; to develop a collaborative service model that begins to address our neighbor's needs while developing a sustainable funding model to grow the work of Year 1. Do you have any plans to share your results or findings? How? We have already met with the Suburban Ramsey Family Collaborative Joint Powers Board and did a whole overview of the needs and issues families in povertyface in Suburban Ramsey. Various models that are utilized to address the complexity of these issues were shared in collaboration with our partners. This discussion was built off of the framework of one of our partner's focus group reports called, "Voices of the Hungry" (Keystone Community Services). This same presentation will now be repeated for our mayors, city administrators, police and civic partners as a way offurther engaging theirpartnership in this work.

Adopted this 24th day of February, 2014 Joe Flaherty, Mayor ATTEST: James Ericson, City Administrator (seal) Item No: 7C Meeting Date: February 24 2014 Type of Business: Council Business — Administrator Review: - Qty of Mounds Vlew Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nick DeBar, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8218, Approving Bidding Documents and Authorizing Advertisement for Bids for 2014 Ground Reservoir Rehabilitation Project Background: The 2,000,000 gallon (2MG) reinforced -concrete ground reservoir was constructed in 1968 and works in conjunction with the booster station. The reservoir has performed well but has been showing signs of deterioration the past several years, most notably the masonry and roof conditions. The reservoir was inspected by KLM Engineering when emptied for routine maintenance last year, and it was discovered that the structure is in need of significant rehabilitation to keep it serviceable and in compliance with regulatory and industry standards. The reservoir interior wall coating is in poor condition with approximately 75% overall failure. There is some evidence that leaks are occurring through the wall, but it is not excessive and well below that of industry standards (AWWA). The overall interior of the reservoir is in fair to good condition. The inspection noted several hundred feet of cracking, spalling on the interior concrete walls, and many defects such as popouts and exposed reinforcement bars. In addition, the concrete roof is infiltrating ponded rainwater into the reservoir through cracks and construction joints. Structural improvements are also needed to meet current OSHA requirements. A copy of KLM's inspection report was previously provided to the Council for your information. Discussion: The City Council authorized KLM to perform engineering design and prepare bidding documents (plans and specifications) for the reservoir rehabilitation at their January 27, 2014 meeting. Rehabilitation includes interior structural repairs, interior steel coatings, exterior structural repairs, and coating of the exterior roof and flashing. The estimated cost estimate to perform the repairs and rehabilitation is $407,100 and will extend the service life of the reservoir by 30 to 40 years. A new tank of similar construction is estimated at $3 to $4 million. KLM has completed bidding documents for the project and it is ready for a public bid solicitation. If approved, the project will be advertised on February 27, 2014 and bids due on March 10, 2014. Work is expected to take six to eight weeks to complete. To make matters more pressing, Public Works needs to have the reservoir back on-line prior to the irrigation season (June 1). While the drinking water system could meet the typical summer demand, it would require increased wear and tear on the well pumps and motors and may require a ban on lawn sprinkling. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving bidding documents and authorizing advertisement for bids for rehabilitating the ground reservoir. Monies have been budgeted under the water enterprise fund (700-4823-7050) for $350,000. Depending upon actual bids received, a future recommendation will be made regarding the reroofing and masonry renovation of the booster station and municipal well no. 2. Although important, these improvements are not as urgent as the reservoir rehabilitation. Respectfully submitted, Nick DeBar — Director of Public Works mrilrol • L11 VA I Mo I Mill I FOR 2014 GROUND RESERVOIR REHABILITATION PROJECT WHEREAS, the 2,000,000 gallon reinforced concrete ground reservoir was constructed in 1968 and is a vital component of the municipal water supply system; and WHEREAS, the reservoir interior wall coatings and OSHA conditions were inspected and evaluated the as part routine maintenance in 2013, and revealed conditions that require unforeseen repairs and rehabilitation to the reservoir including interior structural repairs, interior steel coatings, exterior structural repairs, and coating of the exterior roof and flashing; and WHEREAS, on January 27, 2014, the City Council authorized KLM Engineering, Inc.

City of Mounds View Nicholas DeBar, PE Director of Public Works Item No: 7D Meeting Date: February 24, 2014 Type of Business: Council Business1%40L_NDitSVVfE_W . Administrator Review: d` QiV of /Mounds View Staff Report NIMENNEEMENNIF— To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nick DeBar, Public Works Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8219, Approving the Addition of a Sidewalk to the Non - Standard Street Design for Ardan Avenue in Area G of the Street and Utility Improvement Program Background: Ardan Avenue is a non-standard street in Area G and H of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. As part of the design phase for Area G, engineering staff recommended options for Ardan Avenue street design and solicited input from adjacent property owners in both Area G and H. Area H properties were included since the street configuration for Area G is likely to be replicated for the Area H project. Ardan Avenue is considered non-standard since it is a designated street on the Municipal State Aid System (MSAS) and is identified as a pedestrian/bicycle corridor in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Engineering staff reviewed design options with the Streets and Utilities Committee at their September 2013 meeting, which included parking on the south side only and options of an 11 -foot off-street bike trail or a combined 6.5 -foot sidewalk/5.5-foot bike lane in the north boulevard. These options were included in a notice sent to Ardan Avenue properties inviting them to a public information meeting held in October 2013 as part of the Committee regular meeting. Approximately 20 property owners attended the October 2013 information meeting. In general, support for a sidewalk/bike lane combination or shared -use trail was evenly split. This was also the case for the parking location on the north or south side. A good portion of the input and discussion centered around the impact that a pedestrian/bicycle accommodation would have on the narrower section of Ardan Avenue between Eastwood and Long Lake Road. The Committee reviewed the feedback and verbal input at their October meeting and recommended a parking lane on the south side only. No pedestrian/bicycle accommodations were recommended due to the potential impact on properties in the narrow section of Ardan between Eastwood and Long Lake Road. It was also rationalized that the parking lane will provide a shared -use purpose for parking, biking, and walking. Minutes from the October Committee meeting are attached to this report. The City Council approved a non-standard street design without specific pedestrian/bicycle accommodations and one parking "shared -use" lane on the south side for Ardan Avenue as recommended by Engineering staff and S/U Committee on October 28, 2013. Discussion: Engineering staff is recommending the addition of a 6 -foot concrete sidewalk in the north boulevard and immediately adjacent to curb for the non-standard street design previously approved for Ardan Avenue. This revised non-standard street design is being proposed due to further evaluation and follow-up with a number of Ardan Avenue property owners who thought that one of the pedestrian/bicycle accommodations (combined sidewalk/bike lane or trail) would be constructed. In addition, there was a number of property owners who were against a sidewalk until they found out that the City would maintain and remove snow, after which they were supportive. A 6400t sidewalk will not have the impact to properties between Eastwood and Long Lake Road that a 12 -foot combined sidewalk/bikelane or 11400t trail would. Res. 8219, Approving Addition of a Sidewalk to the Non -Standard Street Design for Arden Ave. in Area G Page 2 Engineering staff believe that a sidewalk will be utilized if constructed. Many residents in this area walk, jog, and bike. In addition, Metro Transit has bus stops at every intersection on both sides of Ardan Avenue. Having a sidewalk to step off the bus onto instead of a snow bank will be appreciated by those coming home from work. In addition, the Comprehensive Plan identifies Ardan Avenue as a key east -west pedestrian corridor connecting Spring Lake Road to Long Lake Road and all streets in-between. The Comprehensive Plan should be followed to provide current and future residents the infrastructure to realize the vision of a walkable community with connections to parks, schools, library, community center, civic buildings, and regional trails exist. A notice of the proposed planned improvements was mailed to Ardan Avenue properties in Area G and H during the week of February 17 — a copy of the notice is attached. To date, only two property owners commented and both were supportive of the planned improvements and addition of a sidewalk. Recommendation: Engineering staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the addition of a 6 -foot wide concrete sidewalk in the north boulevard of the previously approved 32 - foot wide (curb face to curb face) street design for Arden Avenue between Red Oak Drive and Long Lake Road. The revised typical street section includes two 11 -foot drive lanes, a 2 -foot wide reaction zone on the north (westbound) side, an 8 -foot wide parallel parking lane on the south (eastbound) side, and a 6 -foot concrete sidewalk located immediately behind the north curb. If approved, Stantec will prepare an addendum to the bidding documents and issue to plan holders prior to the bid opening.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVE® by the City Council of the City of Mounds View, Ramsey County, Minnesota as follows: 1. The addition of a 6 -foot wide concrete sidewalk located immediately behind the north curb to the non-standard street design of Ardan Avenue between Red Oak Drive and Long Lake Road is hereby approved and will be reconstructed as a 32 -foot wide street, measured at the face of curb, with two 11 -foot traffic lanes, one 8 -foot wide parallel parking on the south (eastbound) side, a 2 -foot reaction zone/shoulder adjacent to the north (westbound) side, and a 6 -foot wide concrete sidewalk immediately behind the north curb. Stantec is authorized to revise the bidding documents for the 2014 Street and Utility Improvement Project — Area G to include the above said sidewalk addition to Ardan Avenue and issue addendums to plan holders.

Public Works Engineering is finalizing the design phase of the project and would like to provide you an update on the proposed changes planned for Ardan Avenue. There is no direct cost or special assessment to you for these planned improvements. Background: Ardan Avenue is a designated roadway on the Municipal State Aid System (MSAS). This designation allows the City to receive funding from the State of Minnesota for its maintenance and construction costs. The City receives approximately $450,000 annually from this funding source. MSAS streets are required to meet State -Aid standards which require minimum lane widths, centerline striping, and designated parking lanes. Ardan Avenue is also designated to be a pedestrian/bicycle corridor in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is the City's "master plan" to guide future development through the year 2030. The pedestrian/bicycle corridors will create a citywide trail and sidewalk system when complete, connecting neighborhoods to parks, schools, library, civic centers, transit, shopping, and other neighboring city and regional trails and sidewalks. A public information meeting was held on October 21, 2013 to present street design options and solicit public input Planned Improvements: Ardan Avenue will be fully reconstructed with a new asphalt pavement section and vertical concrete barrier curbs like other recent street projects. A map showing the planned improvements is attached to this notice. Parking: Due to low traffic counts and infrequent use of on -street parking, a parking lane is planned on the south side only next to the eastbound traffic lane. On -street parking on north side will be prohibited. Pedestrian/Bicycle Accommodations: A 6 -foot wide, off-street, concrete sidewalk is planned on the north side. The sidewalk will be located immediately behind the curb eliminating a turf boulevard strip. This sidewalk will be maintained by Public Works including snow removal. No dedicated bike lanes are planned, however, the parking lane on the south can serve as a shared -use lane for bicyclists, joggers, and others. Atypical section of the planned roadway improvements is shown below.
