ADJOURNMENT Item No: 7A Meeting Date: August 25, 2014 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: ________ City of Mounds View Staff Report To Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8285, Approving the Final Plat for the Major Subdivision at Longview Estates, 5173 Longview Drive; Planning Case MA2014-001 Introduction: Marty Harstad, representing Eichi, Inc. has submitted an application for a major subdivision of vacant land known as Longview Estates. This 7.14 acre parcel is on the west side of Longview Drive between County Road H2 and Woodale Drive. The proposed subdivision would create 10 buildable lots from the existing one lot. Discussion: The area identified as Longview Estates is currently zoned R-1, Single Family Residential. The proposed subdivision would be consistent with the existing zoning of the property. This parcel is designated as a wetland district; therefore the minimum size for these lots is 125 feet wide and 20,000 square feet. In 2010, the City Council approved a variance to allow reduced lots widths in this development area. All of the lots shown on the preliminary plat meet the 20,000 square foot requirement, but only two lots meet the 125 foot width requirement. Due to the amount of wetlands present on this parcel, the lots will be developed with the driveways accessing Longview Drive and very limited yard space. A boulder wall will be built along the entire length of the parcel, fairly close behind each of the homes, as a divider between the homes and the wetland. The City is being given a 42-foot wide outlot that runs next to Silver Lake Road for the full length of the entire 7-acre parcel. The City requested this outlot in order to prevent any further development from occurring in this area. There are uplands that will be dry in this area, and neither the City or Rice Creek Watershed District want the new property owners to build sheds, garages, play structures, etc. here because they will need to cross the wetlands to reach them. This leads to fill being brought in, doing landscaping or clearing of the growth in the wetland. There will also be a new pond that the City will be maintaining. Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the Longview Estates parcel and much of the surrounding area as single family detached housing. The proposed subdivision would be consistent with that designation, and with the residential goals and policies as articulated in the Land Use section of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposal would also be consistent with specific housing goals and policies articulated in the Comp Plan. Longview Estates Major Subdivision August 25, 2014 Page 2 Easements: The City’s Subdivision Code requires that plats dedicate perimeter drainage and utility easements for each lot in the subdivision. This plat does dedicate the necessary perimeter easements along with a very large easement behind the homes that encompasses the wetland area. There will also be a new 20 foot easement between lots 8 and 9 for the stormwater pipe that is being relocated further north and will drain into the new pond. Streets: The ten new lots will have access onto Longview Drive, which is a city owned road and was reconstructed in 2012. This street is adequate to handle the amount of added traffic that ten additional homes would create. Park Dedication Requirements: The Subdivision Code indicates that any subdivision of land is subject to a park dedication fee. The dedication imposed is intended to mitigate public costs to the parks system associated with land development. The fee shall be reasonable and based on the extent of the development. In this case, the fee should be equal to 10% of the market value of the land. To establish the market value, staff uses Ramsey County assessed values as the basis for dedication computation. The 2013 Ramsey County land value is $120,000. The dedication amount then would be $12,000. Utilities: All utilities on the site would need to be installed underground, per Section 1203.10. Water and sanitary sewer connections have already been installed for 10 lots. Wetlands: The National Wetlands Inventory Map and the City’s official Wetland Zoning Map identify a significant wetland within the property boundary. Since the property is over one acre in size, the applicant will need to apply for a general stormwater permit from the MPCA. The applicant has already received approvals and a permit from Rice Creek Watershed District. Significant work and soil corrections will be done to the property in order to prepare for building. Recommendation: Review and discuss the final plat. Staff review revealed no deficiencies at this time and thus Resolution 8285 approving the final plat for Longview Estates is attached.

In accordance with §701.03, subd. 10(b), any premises where more than four (4) dogs over six (6) months of age, boarded, bred, kept, or harbored is required to obtain a Commercial Kennel License. The City is starting to see an increase in Residential Kennel License applications, and Staff felt this may be a good time to re-examine the City Code in regard to kennel licensing. During the July Work Session, the City Council reviewed the requirements of obtaining a kennel license with the City. The City currently has five (5) Residential Kennel Licenses, and one (1) Commercial Kennel License (Sham-O-Jet Kennels). Of the five (5) Residential Kennel Licenses, four have three (3) dogs on the premises, and one has four (4) dogs on the premises. Discussion It was the consensus of the City Council to revise the licensing requirements for obtaining a kennel license by removing the petition requirement and adding a public hearing requirement in its place. The City Council will continue to approve all residential and commercial kennel licenses. Currently, §701.04, subd. 8(a) states: Subd. 8. Kennels: (Ord. 696, 4-22-02) a. Licensing requirements: The owner of a proposed dog kennel shall submit a license application and present a petition to the City Administrator signed by more than fifty percent (50%) of all registered landowners or those occupying land within five hundred feet (500’) of the proposed kennel who agree to the establishment of the kennel. The petition shall contain, among other items of information, the number and species of dogs intended to be kept on the premises, whether the yard or kennel area is or will be fenced and whether the dogs would be raised for breeding purposes. Upon the receipt of the petition and license application, the City Administrator shall present the petition and application to the City Council for their consideration. (Ord. 696, 4-22-02; Ord. 774, 8-14-06; Amended, Ord. 844, 5-20-10) Item 07B August 25, 2014 Page 2 At the August 11, 2014, First Reading, Staff recommended deleting the current language and replacing it with the following below: a. Licensing requirements: The owner of a proposed dog kennel shall submit a license application to the City Administrator. Upon receipt of the application, the City Administrator shall schedule a public hearing at a future City Council Meeting and shall notify all registered landowners or those occupying land within five hundred feet (500’) of the proposed kennel at least ten (10) days in advance of the hearing. The kennel license may be issued by the City Council by resolution after a public hearing is held. The City Council approved the First Reading of Ordinance 890 at the August 11, 2014, City Council Meeting. Recommendation Staff recommends the Council adopt Ordinance 890.

Meeting Date: August 25, 2014 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Mark Beer, Finance Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8291 Adopting a Special Assessment Levy for Private Improvements in Area G of the Street and Utility Improvement Program The City offered property owners the opportunity to have private improvements completed as part of the area F street project. It is in the City’s best interest to have as many of these improvements done during the project to reduce the number of street openings that may have to happen in the future. Each property owner has signed an agreement to waive their right to a public hearing and has agreed to pay the full cost of the private improvement plus interest and the administrative fee. The property owner may pay the amount due by 4:30 P.M. on Monday, August 25, 2014 in order to avoid the $35.00 administrative fee. The owner may prepay the assessment between August 26, 2014 and September 25, 2014 without paying additional interest. After that, interest at the rate of 5.50% will accrue from August 25, 2014 through the payment date. This interest rate and administrative fee were set by the City Council in Resolution 7135. On or after September 30, 2014, we will forward the assessment roll to Ramsey County for collection with the 2015 property taxes.

The second reading and adoption will be on Monday, September 8, 2014. This ordinance continues the agreement with Center Point Energy under which Center Point Energy will collect a franchise fee in the amount of 4% of Center Point’s natural gas gross operating revenues for services within the City of Mounds View during the year 2015. Ordinance 625 passed on June 28, 1999 originally enacted the franchise agreement. It provides that the City may impose a franchise fee of not more than 4% of Center Point’s gross operating revenues at any time through July 1, 2019. The franchise fee was first collected in 2001. It has been the practice to include a sunset provision in the ordinance requiring it to be re-enacted each year. Franchise fees collected under this agreement are minimal due to Center Point Energy’s small customer base within the City of Mounds View. The ordinance will be brought back to the City Council for second reading and adoption at the September 8, 2014 meeting. It will be published in the Sun Focus and take effect as provided in the ordinance after publication.

The ordinance is also posted in its entirety on the City’s website, located at www.ci.mounds-view.mn.us. __________________________________ Jim Ericson, City Clerk-Administrator Item No: 7f Meeting Date: August 25, 2014 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review : ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Thomas Kinney, Chief of Police Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8292 for Approval to Purchase a Records Management System (RMS) with Zuercher Technologies Background/History The Mounds View Police Department has operated under a records management system (RMS) created by the St Paul Police Department since 2004. Originally, all the suburban cities in Ramsey County utilized this records and report system. However, some of the suburban cities have switched to a different RMS vendor, LETG, during the past few years. The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department has used yet a different records management system. The St Paul RMS began as a new and efficient manner for the police department to electronically write, organize and store all police reports and files in a digital database. However, after 10 years, this system has become outdated. The St Paul Police Department has provided technical support for this system along with the wireless support for the mobile laptops contained in the squad cars. Beginning 2015, St Paul no longer intends to provide this support to the suburban cities. Thus, those cities still using the St Paul RMS are being forced to change systems. However, St Paul has indicated that they will continue to provide necessary services temporarily into early 2015 if any new system is not yet operational. The cost for that extended service is not yet available. It is yet unclear what direction the city of St Paul will take for their future RMS during 2015. During the past 12-18 months, the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department has also recognized the deficiency in their current and outdated RMS. As a result, the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department staff began a process to research the possibility of acquiring a new RMS and incorporating the suburban cities in Ramsey County to be a part of this new system. This past summer, the Sheriff’s department, along with volunteer representatives from various agencies selected Zuercher Technologies. Zuercher was said to receive the highest marks as the best choice to meet the current needs for law enforcement agencies in Ramsey County. Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) This upcoming change in RMS is coinciding with another large change scheduled for January 2015 by the Ramsey County Emergency Communications Center for a new Computer Aided Dispatch or CAD system. The CAD system is a combination of the hardware, software and services the Communications Center utilizes to provide dispatching and communications service to individual cities within Ramsey County. RMS Report Aug 25, 2014 Page 2 In December 2013, the City Council was presented information on this new CAD system and subsequently approved a CAD and mobile data agreement with Ramsey County. The new CAD system is being provided by TriTech Systems and is managed by Ramsey County. The CAD system and RMS system closely interact with each other requiring an interface to allow the two systems to communicate. The proposed new RMS system from Zuercher has already started work on incorporating this working interface with TriTech Systems. A critical goal for an RMS system is uniformity, standardization and the ability to share information with the users of the system. It has been my focus, as well as other noted agencies, to have an RMS system in place and shared by all agencies in Ramsey County to promote the highest level of efficiency and ability to share records. The technological advancements of our current world have only blurred the jurisdictional boundaries of our communities, taking criminal activity to cities locally, nationally and even, internationally. Thus, it has become extremely beneficial for law enforcement to be on similar databases so as to have the capability to be aware of the activities occurring all around us. One way to accomplish this is to be on the same RMS system. Using the same RMS system as the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department and ideally, all the other surrounding communities, only makes sense for the advancement of law enforcement records in a more centralized database of information. Presently, the cities of Maplewood, New Brighton and hopefully Mounds View, have indicated the support to stay in line with Ramsey County to share the same RMS. The other cities of Roseville, North St Paul, White Bear Lake and St Anthony are currently using RMS services from LETG, Inc. Wireless Connectivity This entire process involves various components requiring attention to include the need to find a source to provide wireless support services for our mobile laptops, currently offered by St Paul. The strongest possibility to fill that need is the city of Roseville’s IT Department. Roseville IT currently provides the city with computer, phone and internet support and service and increasing that level of service to include our police mobile laptop and connectivity needs would seem logical. Part of that mobile service can involve wireless connectivity through the use of “aircards”, which are currently utilized along with services such as Netmotion, which provides for a secure connection to the system. RMS Report Aug 25, 2014 Page 2 E-Citations The other area of electronic records to consider is our e-citation system. In April of 2013, the police department signed on with LETG as the provider for our e-citation program. E-citations are electronic tickets created on a mobile computer, allowing the officer to issue a ticket to a motorist, print off a paper copy to provide to that motorist, and send this information digitally to the district court for processing. The option does exist to stay with LETG for this service or to sign on for the e-citations with Zuercher. Cost The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department has dedicated a large amount to fund this entire RMS project and is hopeful the suburbs will also sign on. Ramsey County has even agreed to front the city’s initial server related costs for this system in 2014, which amounts to approximately $26,000. Thus, the city would not have to make any payment to Zuercher until 2015. This payment would likely have to be re-paid to Ramsey County, although this entire process continues to be evaluated with the possibility of seeing further assistance from Ramsey County. Currently, our police budget has the following amounts listed for the maintenance of the existing RMS system with the City of St Paul: 2014 Budget $31,221 2015 Budget (proposed estimate) $50,000 LETG, Inc (E-citation annual maintenance) $ 2,720 Zuercher has proposed the following figures for RMS services, which does involve sharing a server with Ramsey County: Zuercher RMS (with LETG Citation interface) $84,588 Zuercher RMS (without LETG Interface) $74,588 Future annual maintenance rate $15,915 Both of these figures include a complete conversion of our existing data to the new system. This is a necessary component to have in place. Without this, we would be unable to access all of our old records for the past ten years. This figure alone amounts to $12,500. The addition of an electronic citation program from Zuercher, including the above RMS services with amounts to: Zuercher RMS and E-Citation $103,894 Total Annual maintenance $ 20,355 As a comparison, the city has received the following figures from LETG for a full RMS system (see next page): RMS Report Aug 25, 2014 Page 3 LETG, Inc RMS (does not include any data conversion) $57,966 Annual Maintenance Rate $ 7,854 The comparison of costs for the RMS system only is $74,588 with Zuercher and $57,966 with LETG. Zuercher did include a data conversion fee of $12,500 built into their total cost. It is yet unknown what LETG would charge for the data conversion or whether they have the ability to do so at all. There is no question more money would be required (approximately $29,000) to implement a new e-citation program with Zuercher. Contrarily, we already have a system in place with LETG, requiring no start-up costs. So far, our overall experience with this LETG e-citation program has been somewhat less than satisfactory. This current e-citation system offered by LETG does not interface with the St Paul RMS system. It would be strongly recommended to have an e-citation program that allows communication with the RMS system. Recommendation The goals of this future change in records management are to acquire a technologically current system to fit the needs of our police department now and in the years to come. In addition and perhaps just as critical, is to move in the direction of uniformity in records management throughout Ramsey County. Staying on course with our closest neighboring law enforcement agencies, specifically the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department and the New Brighton Police Department, will move us in the right direction for providing the best public safety in all our communities. Zuercher has requested a contract be in place by the end of August in order to prepare for the work necessary for implementation in January 2015. Recommendation: Staff recommends two possible options for the council to consider: Option 1: Approve purchase of RMS services with Zuercher Technologies at an approximate cost of $84,588, to include an interface with our current E- Citation provider, LETG, Inc. (cost of $10,000). Option 2: Approve purchase of RMS and E-Citation services with Zuercher, at an approximate cost of $103,894.
