The owner may prepay the assessment between May 15, 2012 and June 14, 2012 without
paying additional interest. After that, interest at the rate of 5.5% will accrue from May 14,
2012 through the payment date. The interest rate and administrative fee were set by the City

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7951, Reapproving the Final Plat and
Developers Agreement for the “Coventry Senior Living”
Development; Planning Case MU2010-001
Introduction:
On March 28, 2011, the City Council passed Resolution 7757, which approved the final
plat and developer’s agreement for the Coventry Senior Living development. Per city
code, an applicant has 6 months to record the plat with Ramsey County, and if the
recording does not happen within this timeframe, the plat approval is void. The code
also states that the plat can be reapproved and the applicant given up to another 6
months. Coventry Senior Living has not yet started the project and did not record the
final plat and developers agreement within the allowed time period. Their current final
plat and developers agreement approval expires on May 14, 2012.
Chapter 1202.07: Final Plat Approval Procedure
Subd. 4. Recording of Final Plat: If the final plat is approved, the subdivider shall, within
six months, record it with the County Register of Deeds or Registrar of Titles and,
within ten (10) days of recording, furnish the City with a reproducible copy of the
final plat showing evidence of the recording; otherwise, the approval of the final plat
shall be void, and the Clerk-Administrator shall so notify the County Register of
Deeds or Registrar of Titles.
Subd. 5. Re-Approval: In the event the plat is not recordable as approved or the
subdivider fails to record within the time prescribed herein, the Council may
re-approve the final plat upon payment of the plat reapproval fee as specified in
Appendix E and the following terms and conditions: a) that the subdivider proves to
the satisfaction of the Council that the delay was caused by conditions beyond the
control of the subdivider, and b) that the extension of time requested has or will
have no adverse effect on the City or property owners of the City, and c) that the
Council shall set the time limit of the extension requested but in no event shall it
exceed six months. (1988 Code §42.05; 1993 Code).

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Mounds View Planning Commission
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 872, Amending
Chapter 1008 of the Mounds View City Code Pertaining to Dynamic
Display Signs
Introduction:
The City amended its sign code on January 12, 2009 to include operational requirements and
conditions for the use of dynamic display signage with the adoption of Ordinance 816. The code has
since been amended to make additional changes after the dynamic sign code was put into effect. Staff
is proposing another amendment.
Discussion:
Prior to the adoption of the ordinance regulating dynamic signs in 2009, these types of signs were not
specifically addressed in the City Code, and were allowed just as other types of signs. With the new
technology that was allowing dynamic displays to become more affordable and common for
businesses, and the conversion of billboards to electronic signs, the City Council felt they needed to put
some regulations on these types of signs. The sign code was amended to add a section specifically for
dynamic signs.
A local business would like to install a dynamic sign on their building as a wall sign. City Staff reviewed
the sign code and it states that “dynamic display signs are allowed on on-site free standing or ground
signs.” The City Council discussed this issue at their April 9, 2012 meeting and decided that when the
new dynamic display language was added to the City Code, there was no intention of specifically not
allowing dynamic displays as wall signs. The City Council asked that the Planning Commission discuss
amending the Code to remove the language stating what type of signs that dynamic displays can be
located on. On April 18, 2012, the Planning Commission discussed the proposed amendments and
unanimously approved Resolution 960-12. The City Council discussed this amendment at the May 7,
2012 Worksession, and were agreeable to moving forward with the proposed language.
The City Council asked whether other cities allow dynamic display signs as wall signs. New Brighton,
Fridley and White Bear Lake do not prohibit dynamic display wall signs in commercial zoning districts.
Fridley and White Bear Lake also require a Special Use Permit for all dynamic display signs.
Recommendation:
The City Council should review Ordinance 872 with the proposed City Code amendment and take
testimony from staff.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mark Beer, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7933, Adopting a Five Year Financial Plan
for 2013 thru 2017
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.
The City Council received the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) at the April 23rd
Council Meeting and reviewed the entire plan at the May 7th work session. Notice of the
public hearing was published in the Sun Focus.
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 the financing plan for the Street and Utility
Improvement Program with acceleration of the last three projects.
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 excludes any consideration of
Local Government Aid for 2013 and beyond. The plan reflects a 2.00% increase in
expenditures for 2013 and a 3% increase in expenditures for the remaining years. A 4%
levy increase is reflected for all years after 2013. The General Fund runs deficits for the
five years under consideration. When possible staff used known amounts instead of
projections. The levy amount for 2013 reflects no increase but may be adjusted as we
develop the 2013 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 and new acquisitions. 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 budget in
2010, 2011, and 2012 but is systematically increased starting in 2013.
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, 2013
thru 2017.
Utility Rate Studies
Utility rate studies are included and there are mixed results. The storm water rate can
be maintained at the current level. The street light rate is proposed to increase by $.25
per quarter which will add $1 per year. The increase is needed to support additional
lights that have been added as part of the trail system. The water and sewer rates
should be considered for an increase in 2013. The water rate is proposed to increase by
a dime in 2013, which will add about $8 a year to the average bill based on 20,000
gallons per quarter. The sewer rate is proposed to increase by 4% in 2013, which will
add $10 a year to the average residential bill. Future increases will need to be
considered until both funds stabilize. The need for an increase is generated by
significant capital expenses during 2012 for the water fund (water tower maintenance
and facility maintenance) and significant increases in disposal charges by Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services in previous years that we are still catching up on.
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.

Mark Beer

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Nick DeBar, Public Works Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7934, Approving Bidding Documents and Authorizing
Advertisement for Bids for 2012 Sanitary Sewer Slip Lining Project
Background/Discussion:
The municipal sanitary sewer system is composed of approximately 44 miles of trunk sewer, 900
manholes, and 2 lift stations. The sanitary trunk sewer was largely constructed in the 1960’s and
early 1970’s using (predominately) clay pipe. The use of clay pipe during this time was the industry
standard, but more watertight pipe products (PVC) have been developed and replaced clay pipe to
become the new industry standard the last few decades. Unfortunately, the leaky clay pipe incurs
unnecessary Met Council treatment costs due to infiltration of ground water into the trunk sewer. In
general, one gallon per minute of ground water entering the system equates to $1,000 of Met
Council treatment costs annually.
Public Works has an inspection and maintenance program for the municipal sanitary sewer system.
This program includes inspecting the trunk sewer by televising camera and evaluating the condition
of the pipe. There are a number of defects that are logged while performing inspections, including
cracks in the pipe and leaking joints. Repair and remediation of these deficiencies are incorporated
into the street and utility improvement projects as much as possible. However, there are trunk
sewers not located in these project areas, and conditions of trunk sewers in project areas can
change over time.
A priority list that ranks the segments of pipe needing repair or remediation is maintained by Public
Works. One technique used to fix pipes that are in good condition but have leaky joints is called
slip lining. Slip lining is method that essentially places a hard liner inside the existing pipe – without
digging up the pipe and streets. Slip lining is considerably less cost than trenching and replacing
pipe, and there is no “inconvenience” cost compared to trenching methods.
The Engineering Division of Public Works has prepared plans and specifications (bid documents)
for use in obtaining public bids for a slip lining project. A public bid is required since the costs of
construction will exceed $100,000. The 2012 budget includes $125,000 under the sanitary sewer
enterprise fund for this work, which is likely less than what the bid documents include. However,
the bid form itemizes the slip lining priorities in a base bid / add alternate structure that will be used
to determine the successful bidder and quantity of work to be included in the project to meet the
budget amount. Future slip lining projects will be pursued in coming years until the priority slip
lining pipe segments are remediated.
Recommendation:
Public Works recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution. If adopted, the
project will be advertised and bid in accordance with state statutes and a bid opening will be
scheduled for June 4, 2012. The Council will need to award the project (tentatively scheduled for
June 11, 2012) before any construction can begin.
Respectfully submitted,
Nick DeBar - Public Works Director

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Nick DeBar, Public Works Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7935, Authorizing Stantec to Perform Preliminary Design
Services for County Road H Sidewalk Project
Background:
The City has been pursuing improvements to the trailway and sidewalk system over the past few
years to make the community “walkable” and provide regional connections. The Comprehensive
Plan contains a citywide trailway and sidewalk map that shows existing and proposed trails and
walks (see attached). This is the official map to be used and referenced for any new trail or
sidewalk. Trails and sidewalks are constructed as stand-alone projects, or as part of street and
utility improvement projects if located adjacent to a street being reconstructed.
Discussion:
A sidewalk in the north boulevard of County Road H was recently proposed by Public Works as an
alternate to the proposed trail/sidewalk along Woodcrest Drive, between Silver Lake Road and
Long Lake Road, during Area E discussions at a Streets and Utilities Committee meeting last fall.
The Committee agreed with Public Works that County Road H would be a more suitable location,
but thought the Park Commission should also consider the proposal. The Commission also agreed
that the County Road H option was far better and further recommended that the sidewalk be
extended to Edgewood Drive to accommodate the middle school. Currently, sidewalk exists in the
south boulevard (New Brighton side) of County Road H between Silver Lake Road and Edgewood
Drive.
The proposal for a sidewalk along County Road H was not included in the Area E project due to
project schedule and winter weather conditions (for surveying). However, if a sidewalk is going to
be constructed in this location, it will intersect seven streets being reconstructed this summer. It is
advantageous to know where a future sidewalk will intersect these streets so proper placement of a
curb cut can be constructed now to avoid demolition/replacement costs when the sidewalk is
constructed. A preliminary design for the sidewalk will assist in finding the location of these curb
cuts.
Public Works solicited Stantec to provide a proposal for preliminary design services for a future
sidewalk in the north boulevard of County Road H between Silver Lake Road and Edgewood Drive.
Stantec has provided a proposal fee of $8,200 to perform a topographic survey, base drawing,
sidewalk layout, cost estimate, and identification of potential issues and conflicts. Compensation
will be based upon actual hours worked plus reimbursable expenses not to exceed $9,000. The
2012 budget includes $104,000 under the Special Projects fund for the pathway construction
program.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing Stantec to
perform preliminary design services for a proposed sidewalk in the north boulevard of County Road
H between Silver Lake Road and Edgewood Drive.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Nick DeBar, Public Works Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7936, Authorizing Inspect, Inc. to Prepare an Exterior
Wall Management Program for Municipal Facilities
Background:
Nearly all of the sixteen municipal facilities have brick and mortar exterior wall construction.
Although this construction method has been proven, environmental factors eventually
deteriorate these materials - especially in our harsh climate. A major factor in this deterioration
is moisture. Brick and mortar are not impermeable materials, and deterioration can accelerate
quickly when water infiltrates the wall system.
Discussion:
There are a number of municipal buildings that are showing signs of deterioration in the brick
and mortar. Some of these facilities are included in the CIP for tuck-pointing repairs, including
many of the water facilities. In order to properly prioritize these repairs, Public Works consulted
with Inspec, Inc. to develop a management approach for prioritizing and evaluating the various
wall conditions. This approach would be similar to that of the roof management program
prepared by Inspec several years ago. The roof management program is an asset
management tool to proactively prioritization and budget the various repairs and replacement.
Inspec has provided a proposal fee of $6,500 to prepare an exterior wall management program.
The scope of work includes detailed examination of each facility, identification of maintenance
needs, CAD-generated sketches, photographs, prioritization of deficiencies, cost estimates,
and a written report. This program will cover the following brick and mortar buildings and
facilities:
• City Hall (and Police Department)
• Community Center
• Booster Station
• 2,000,000 Ground Reservoir
• Well House Nos. 2, 5, and 6
• Groveland and Hillview Park shelters
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing Inspec to
prepare an exterior wall management program for municipal facilities. If adopted, Inspec’s fee
will be paid from the following funds: Water (700-4823) - $4,000; Parks (100-4360) - $500;
Buildings/Grounds (100-4460) - $500; Community Center (252-4350) - $500.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Nick DeBar, Public Works Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7937, Accepting Community Forest Bonding Grant from
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
Background/Discussion:
In 2011, an infestation of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) was discovered in a neighborhood of
Shoreview just east of Mounds View in the vicinity of County Road I. The Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources has a Community Forest Bonding Grant program that
municipalities can apply if an EAB infestation is discovered within a one mile radius of the city
limits. The city forestry consultant and Public Works applied for this competitive grant on behalf
of the City and were notified in March 2012 that our application for $42,000 in assistance was
approved.
The grant monies can be used specifically for removal of ash trees from municipal property
(parks, grounds, and boulevards) and replacement with a variety of native trees to establish
diversity and tree presence. This process will allow the City to get a “jump start” on the eminent
infestation of EAB in Mounds View. Getting a jump start ahead of infestations will slow the
spread of EAB, whereby lessening and stretching the workload curve over more time in dealing
with EAB.
The grant only covers those activities within the one mile radius of the Shoreview infestation
(see attached map). Although this covered area is only a small part of the city, it contains
approximately 60 trees, or 40%, of the City’s ash tree population. Not all ash will be removed in
this area, but instead, only infested ash and ash of lower quality. The grant covers the 2012 to
2014 funding cycle.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting the Community
Forest Bonding Grant from MnDNR.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7946, Approving a Job Description for the
Building Official Position in the Community Development
Department
Background:
Effective March 18, 2012, Kathi Osmonson resigned from active service as a fire fighter.
In addition, Ms. Osmonson also resigned as Building Official/Fire Marshal with the City.
Her last day with the City was Friday, May 4, 2012.
At the April 23, 2012, City Council Meeting, the City Council authorized advertisement of
the Building Official/Fire Marshal position in the Community Development Department.
Staff advertised the position on the League of Minnesota Cities website, City’s website,
and the Star Tribune. The deadline for submitting job applications is Tuesday, May 29,
2012, at 430pm.
Discussion:
In the City’s job advertisement, Staff removed the minimum requirement to be a certified
Fire Marshal, and instead made it a desired qualification. This was done to ensure that
the City receives a large pool of qualified candidates to choose from. The Building
Official/Fire Marshal position may be quite challenging to fill since most Building
Officials are not trained as certified Fire Marshals.
At the May Work Session, it was the consensus of the City Council to remove all fire
fighter duties from the job description and remove the minimum requirement to be a
certified Fire Marshal. Attached is the Building Official job description. Deletions are
indicated in red and additions are indicated in blue.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approving Resolution 7946, approving the Building Official Job
Description. This position is a non-union, full-time, non-exempt position.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7948, Authorizing Additional Compensation to
Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector Jeremiah Anderson
for Working Outside of Job Classification
Background:
Effective March 18, 2012, Kathi Osmonson resigned from active service as a fire fighter.
In addition, Ms. Osmonson also resigned as Building Official/Fire Marshal with the City.
Her last day with the City was Friday, May 4, 2012. Due to Ms. Osmonson’s
resignation, the City needs assistance in conducting Fire Inspections.
Discussion:
Staff has met with Fire Chief Nyle Zikmund, who confirms that the fire department could
assist in the short term with fire inspections, but a long term solution would require
allocating part of someone’s time for Mounds View at an undisclosed cost. A better
solution to addressing the City’s fire marshaling needs however already exists within our
employee ranks: Jeremiah Anderson, Housing and Code Enforcement Inspector. Chief
Zikmund confirms that Jeremiah Anderson is certified and qualified to be a fire marshal
and Chief Zikmund would support this assignment. The benefit of Mr. Anderson
assuming the fire marshal responsibilities is that there would be no learning curve, no
training and no shift in policy or philosophy. The one drawback is that Mr. Anderson
already has many responsibilities, although technology enhancements have improved
workflow and efficiencies. Mr. Anderson believes he would have the time to handle the
additional responsibilities, especially considering he is already doing inspections on
many of these same properties already. With the potential addition of the Citizen Mobile
Access app, continued code enforcement support from the Public Services Officer and
perhaps supplemental inspections by the Planning Associate position, Staff agrees the
reassignment of fire marshal duties to Mr. Anderson might be the best option, given the
alternatives.
To compensate Mr. Anderson for these additional responsibilities, Staff would
recommend following the City’s policy approved by the Council via Resolution 5626,
which would warrant an additional 5% compensation. After three to six months, Staff
would recommend assessing the arrangement and make a determination then as to
whether the reassignment should become permanent. If so, Staff would then
recommend conducting a job audit and HAY point analysis to ascertain an appropriate
rate of pay. If not, then staff could entertain a coverage plan with the fire department. It
was the consensus of the City Council during the May 7, 2012, City Council Work
Item 08C
Ma y 14, 2012, City Council Meeting
Page 2
Session to start the process of assigning the Fire Marshal duties to Mr. Anderson, and
provide an additional 5% compensation for working outside his job classification.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approving Resolution 7948, Authorizing Additional Compensation to
Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector Jeremiah Anderson for Working Outside of Job
Classification.
Respectfully submitted,
Desaree Crane
RESOLUTION 7948
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION TO
HOUSING/CODE ENFORCEMENT INSPECTOR JEREMIAH ANDERSON
FOR WORKING OUTSIDE OF JOB CLASSIFICATION
WHEREAS, the Building Official/Fire Marshal resigned effective May 4, 2012;
and
WHEREAS, according to the policy adopted in Resolution 5626, and employee
may serve in an interim capacity to meet the needs of the vacant position with the
approval of the City Administrator and the City Council; and
WHEREAS, Resolution 5626 establishes that additional compensation may be
authorized for employees serving in an interim capacity taking on higher classification
duties; and
WHEREAS, Jeremiah Anderson’s performance has been rated satisfactory or
higher by the City Administrator, who recommends Mr. Anderson be compensated for
the higher classifications he will assume in the absence of the Building Official/Fire
Marshal; and
WHEREAS, the Fire Chief confirms that Jeremiah Anderson is certified and
qualified to be a Fire Marshal and supports this assignment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council does
hereby authorize additional compensation to Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector
Jeremiah Anderson at a rate of five percent (5%) of his base pay effective May 15,
2012.
Adopted this 14th day of May, 2012.

A. Mounds View School District 621 – Superintendent Hoverman 42
43
Dan Hoverman, School District 621 Superintendent, indicated it was a pleasure to be in 44
attendance at the Council meeting. He gave a presentation on the State of the School District and 45
Mounds View City Council March 26, 2012
Regular Meeting Page 2
discussed several changes taking place within the system. The mission of the school district was 1
to educate learners through a broad range of programs that set high expectations and inspire 2
outstanding achievement. The visions statements were then described noting instructional 3
technology was becoming key in the classroom. 4
5
Superintendent Hoverman discussed the strategic directions of the district stating financial 6
stability, academic excellence and a safe environment were crucial. The priority goals for 2011-7
2012 reviewed in detail. Demographics of the district were outlined showing the demographics 8
had shifted over the past 20 years. Free and reduced lunch trends were reviewed. 9
10
Superintendent Hoverman explained the district used to have approximately 12,000 students. 11
The district has been seeing an enrollment decline over the past several years, but the decrease 12
has subsided. The district was now holding at 9,500 students. The dollar investment per student 13
was noted showing Mounds View was near the top of all districts in the metro area with $7,676 14
per year in each student. 15
16
Marre Jo Sager discussed the financial stability and management efforts on behalf of the district. 17
She explained 77¢ of every dollar went to students while the remaining portion of a dollar when 18
to transportation, staff, administration and fixed costs. She indicated the district was working 19
diligently to maintain class sizes and programs. This was well reflected in the students’ 20
achievement. 21
22
Superintendent Hoverman commented the programs and services in place will ensure that race, 23
class, and disability will not dictate a student’s success in the Mounds View school district. In 24
addition, student achievement results will not fall into patterns. The ACT scores from 2008 25
through 2011 were reviewed. He indicated all juniors took the ACT test last year and performed 26
well in comparison to the State and Nation averages. The district was offering ACT tests free of 27
charge to all Juniors through generous funding provided by the Mounds View Schools Education 28
Foundation. He indicated Mounds View and Irondale were among only 11 Minnesota High 29
Schools ranked in the silver category by U.S. News and World Report. 30
31
Superintendent Hoverman provided further information on the STEAM initiative, which focused 32
on science, technology, engineering, arts and math. A great benefit was found by placing value 33
in the arts program within the district. A new magnet arts program was fully explained and 34
would begin in the Fall of 2012 at Edgewood Middle School. 35
36
Superintendent Hoverman stated the future of the district would be in setting additional learning 37
targets to increase student achievement. He stated the district would continue to work towards 38
closing the gaps while providing opportunity, expectation, aspiration and achievement with an 39
emphasis on post-secondary success planning. A chart reviewing income based on education 40
was presented. In the future, 70% of the jobs are going to require some post secondary training 41
or education. 42
43
Superintendent Hoverman indicated the district was working to help students navigate their 44
education through career and post-secondary planning. The district needed to increase 45
Mounds View City Council March 26, 2012
Regular Meeting Page 3
opportunities for students to pursue post-secondary credit while in high school. In addition, they 1
can further align state academic standards and teacher preparation with real-world learning. He 2
noted the district has a partnership with local colleges and universities. Through a clear early 3
college hybrid curriculum pathway, a student could complete a two year associate’s degree while 4
in high school. This created great savings, in the long run, for families and the student. The 5
design of this program was further reviewed. He noted the program has received local and 6
national attention. 7
8
Council Member Mueller thanked Superintendent Hoverman for the thorough presentation 9
provided this evening. She questioned if the benefits of further education were communicated to 10
the students. Superintendent Hoverman stated this information was being passed along and was 11

13

Amending City Code Chapters 514 and 1106 to Allow Massage Therapy as a 20
Home Occupation. 21
22
Planning Associate Heller stated the last few months the Council and Planning Commission has 23
been reviewing this issue, after a resident approached the City requesting to operate a massage 24
therapy business from her home. City Code does not currently allow this use as a home business. 25
After much discussion, the issue was reviewed and a code amendment was proposed to allow this 26
use. Written consent from the property owner would be needed if the therapist does not own the 27
home where they live and would operate the business. Staff recommended the Council introduce 28
Ordinance 870 and hold the first reading. The second reading of the Ordinance would take place 29
on April 9th. 30
31
Mayor Flaherty opened the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. 32

B. Public Hearing, A Public Hearing to Appeal a Ruling on a Solicitor License 3
Denial. 4
5
Assistant City Administrator Crane stated staff received a solicitor’s application from Deonte 6
Darren Hill for a business called Window Concepts. His business completes siding and 7
remodeling services. In accordance with the City Code, a background check was conducted and 8
a gross misdemeanor, damage to property in the third degree and misdemeanor conviction were 9
on his criminal record. 10
11
Assistant City Administrator Crane explained staff provided the information to the Police Chief. 12
Mr. Hill has since submitted a letter explaining his activities on two of the convictions in 2009. 13
According to the BCA, Mr. Hill damaged property and gave police officers fraudulent 14
information. After review of the information, Police Chief Kinney denied the solicitor’s 15
application due to the fact these convictions took place in the past five years and were a 16
disqualification under City Code. She then reviewed City Code and read it aloud for the record. 17
18
Assistant City Administrator Crane stated Mr. Hill’s manager, Tony Strouth spoke with Police 19
Chief Kinney regarding the matter, requesting he reconsider his decision. She reviewed a 20
certificate of insurance provided by Window Concepts explaining they would be responsible for 21
any fraudulent or unlawful occurrences on behalf of their employees. However, the convictions 22
that took place in the last five years were still a disqualification under City Code. She requested 23
the Council hold a public hearing and make a motion to either approve or deny the appeal. 24
25
Police Chief Kinney thanked staff for the thorough report. He clarified the two convictions were 26
the grounds for the disqualification. He was concerned with Mr. Hill’s charge of giving false 27
information to a police officer. This led him to question Mr. Hill’s honesty and his ability to 28
conduct door to door services in the City of Mounds View. 29
30
Mayor Flaherty opened the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. 31
32
Tony Strouth, Window Concepts Manager, explained he handles all solicitors’ permits along 33
with hiring and firing employees. He indicated he recruited Mr. Hill from American Exteriors as 34
he had been working there for two years. He noted Mr. Hill has worked extremely well for 35
Window Concepts in several neighboring communities. 36
37
Mr. Strouth understood the reasoning behind the background check. He did not however, have 38
any issues or conflicts with Mr. Hill. He indicated Mr. Hill was a valued employee. He 39
expressed concern that the Police Chief did not state any specific reasons for denying this 40
request. 41
42
Deonte Darren Hill, 3800 Lincoln Street, Minneapolis, stated he went through a rough patch in 43
his life. He explained he had worked through the issues, moved on, and was working through the 44
adversities he now faced. Mr. Hill stated he loved his job, loved speaking with people. He did 45
Mounds View City Council March 26, 2012
Regular Meeting Page 5
not condone lying and did not conduct business in this manner. He apologized for the past but 1
requested the Council consider the changes he has made in his life and allow him to work in the 2
City of Mounds View. 3
4
Colleen Holly, Deonte Darren Hill’s fiancée, explained she has been with Darent for the past 12 5
years. She offered further information on the past charges stating Mr. Hill has grown greatly in 6
the past several years and was working to turn his life around. She felt Mr. Hill has learned from 7
his mistakes. 8
9
Hearing no additional public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 8:20 p.m. 10
11
Mayor Flaherty questioned if the past car issues had been resolved. Mr. Hill indicated the issue 12
was resolved and all restitution was paid in full. 13
14
Mayor Flaherty commented maturity could have played a role in some of the past decisions made 15
by Mr. Hill. He thanked Mr. Hill for the letter presented to the City Council as it was well 16
written. He understood how poor decisions could have consequences. He was pleased that Mr. 17
Hill was making amends with his family and working towards a positive career. 18
19
Council Member Hull asked if the other cities that Mr. Hill has worked in had completed an 20
appeal process. Mr. Strouth noted the City of Cottage Grove had to review the information at an 21
administrative level. He stated the City of Lakeville met with Mr. Hill personally. He stated he 22
was working in the City of Roseville and that city does not require a permit. 23
24
Council Member Mueller inquired how many workers Window Concepts had at this time. Mr. 25
Strouth indicated he had 13 employees. Further, Mr. Strouth stated that he has canvassers that 26
have DWI offenses that get rides from others to work the neighborhoods. He disagrees with the 27
City’s policy. 28
29
Council Member Mueller questioned if Mr. Hill could be put to work in other communities and 30
that another worker be allowed to conduct the solicitation work in Mounds View. Mr. Strouth 31
stated this could be done, but that Mr. Hill would then be out of work for several weeks. 32
33
Council Member Mueller commented she was hit head-on by a DWI offender. She indicated this 34
was a very serious offense and wanted Mr. Strouth to understand the law was the law. She 35
requested he respect the City Code and noted she would not be supporting the appeal. 36
37
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Gunn. To Deny the Appeal Ruling on a Solicitor License for 38
Deonte Darren Hillof Window Concepts. 39
40
Mayor Flaherty explained Mr. Hill was the one requesting a chance in this community. He was 41
pleased that Mr. Hill explained his past mistakes and that he was working to support his family at 42
this time. He felt Mr. Hill deserved a second chance. 43
44
Council Member Hull felt the Police Chief and staff had made the right determination to deny the 45
Mounds View City Council March 26, 2012
Regular Meeting Page 6
solicitors application based on the City Code. Typically, he supported staff’s recommendation 1
but was willing to offer Mr. Hill a second chance in this instance. For this reason, he would not 2
support the motion. 3
4
Council Member Stigney stated staff interpreted City Code correctly and for that reason, he 5
would support the motion. 6
7
Ayes – 3 Nays – 2 (Flaherty and Hull) Motion carried. 8
9
Mr. Hill thanked the Council for considering his appeal. Mayor Flaherty wished him well. 10
11
C. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 869, an Amendment to Zoning 12
Code Chapter 1121 about Accessing Detached Parking Areas. 13
14
Planning Associate Heller stated this was the second reading of Ordinance 869, which was an 15
amendment to the zoning code regarding accessing detached parking areas. She reviewed the 16
proposed changes and recommended adoption of the Ordinance. 17
18
Council Member Mueller questioned if the word frequently should be greater defined within the 19
Ordinance. Planning Associate Heller stated if dirt tracks were seen in the yard and if there was 20
evidence of the yard being disturbed this would be determined to be frequently. She noted staff 21
would visit a site a number of times over the course of several weeks before a determination was 22
made. The City was working to protect the new City curbs and streets. 23
24
Council Member Mueller asked how this Ordinance would impact residents with unimproved 25
driveways. Planning Associate Heller stated the driveway could remain as is, but could not be 26
expanded. 27
28
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance 869, an 29

Mayor Flaherty reported Allina Medical Transportation was moving into the City on Woodale 18
Avenue. He stated an Open House was scheduled for April 24th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. The entire 19
Council and staff were invited to attend the event. 20
21
Council Member Hull stated Messiah Lutheran Church was holding a concert, open to the public 22
on Sunday, April 1st at 7:00 p.m. All proceeds would benefit the Christus Chorus of Concordia 23
College that would be performing. 24
25
Council Member Mueller stated last Thursday at the Mounds View Community Center, the City 26
hosted the Ramsey County League of Local Governments meeting. The featured speaker was 27
from the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon initiative. An update was provided on the progress Ramsey 28
County was making to achieve Yellow Ribbon status. According to the specific items that need 29
to be completed, Ramsey County and the cities therein, would be eligible for Yellow Ribbon 30
status at the end of April 2012. The goal was to have this signed off by legislature before the end 31
of its session. The intent was to have each city website in Ramsey County to have a link to the 32
Beyond the Yellow Ribbon website. This would create greater access and information as to the 33
services available to veterans, military personnel, and their families. 34

B. Reports of Staff. 36
37
City Administrator Ericson discussed the variance request from Tim Downing at 8027 38
Woodlawn Drive. He stated the original variance requested was over four feet based on current 39
City Code. When the Council upheld the Planning Commission’s decision to deny the variance, 40
it required Mr. Downing to stay within the 20 foot height limit. However, when the actual height 41
was measured based on the plans, the garage was only nine inches too tall. He questioned if the 42
Council would like to reconsider the variance request given the fact there was a nine inch 43
infraction versus the previously thought four foot difference. 44
45
Mounds View City Council March 26, 2012
Regular Meeting Page 9
Council Member Hull questioned how many times the Downing permit was extended. City 1
Administrator Ericson noted the permit was extended on several occasions before construction 2
began. He stated it was immaterial that the permit was extended as it was reasonable for him to 3
build the garage to the standards in place at the time the permit was issued. 4
5
Mayor Flaherty questioned if the permit could be extended every six months as long as progress 6
was being made. City Administrator Ericson indicated this was true with buildings under 7
construction. This differed from extending the actual permit when no construction had yet 8
occurred. 9
10
Mayor Flaherty recalled the Council had allowed for the garage to remain at the 2007 building 11
standards, which meant the garage would require a nine inch variance. 12
13
Council Member Stigney stated the variance was denied based on the Planning Commission’s 14
recommendation given the information provided. Based on the new information he felt the issue 15
should go back to the Planning Commission for consideration. 16
17
City Administrator Ericson stated if this was the case, the City would have to back off the 18
resolution of denial and request the Planning Commission to reconsider the variance with the 19
new information. 20
21
City Attorney Riggs stated this was the case, and the Council would need to take a step back 22
from the original variance denial. The Council would need to rescind the previous approval and 23
take action on the issue. 24
25
Mayor Flaherty asked how the Council was to proceed. 26
27
City Attorney Riggs recommended the Council properly notify the public of the issue for a 28
decision at the next Planning Commission meeting. He indicated the Council would need to 29
rescind the present Resolution. 30
31
City Administrator Ericson noted the Council should move to rescind a Resolution and direct the 32
variance request to the Planning Commission. 33
34
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn. To Rescind Resolution 7903, Directing Staff to bring the 35
Tim Downing Variance Request back to the Planning Commission, with proper public 36
notification for consideration with the new information. 37

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Administrative Updates & Report
AC/B Airport Advisory Commission
I attended the Anoka County / Blaine Airport Advisory Commission meeting in Blaine on
May 9th, held at Blaine City Hall. Attending with me was Commissioner Barb Haake. The
east/west runway is scheduled to be resurfaced (not lengthened!) sometime this summer at
which time ALL traffic will be diverted to the north/south runway. This will naturally
increase aircraft activity (operations) over Mounds View. Joe Harris, AC/B Airport
manager, will keep us informed when this will be occurring so we can communicate to our
residents regarding the short term “disruptions”. He also indicated willingness to speak to
the Council about this project or any other concerns you may have.
Aviation Days
Speaking of the Airport, the "Discover Aviation Days" event is scheduled at the AC/Blaine
Airport on June 2 & 3. There will be airplane rides, museum, specialty and vintage aircraft,
a replica of the Vietnam Wall Memorial (80% scale), pancake breakfast, daily military fly-
overs, kids’ activities and the ever-popular “Hangar Dance” Saturday night, June 2. For
more information about Aviation Days, check out their webpage at
http://www.discoveraviationdays.org or their Facebook page “DiscoverAviationDays”.
Residents living near the airport may notice increased flight activity during this event.
Spring Clean-Up Event
The Spring Clean-Up event took place May 5 at the public works facility on Bronson Drive.
Recycling Coordinator Springer reports that Veolia Environmental Services saw 153
customers, who dropped off appliances, batteries, tires, mixed trash and electronics. If you
missed the Spring Clean-Up Day, we’ll be conducting a Fall Clean-Up Day in September.
Stay tuned for more information. The clean-up events are paid for with SCORE Grant
Funds from the State of Minnesota and Ramsey County.
Red Oak Estates Dirt Piles
Work to level the dirt piles at the Red Oak Estates townhome community at the SW corner
of Long Lake Road and County Road H2 should be underway. According to Marty
Harstad, they will be bringing in a bulldozer and spreading out the dirt piles across the Red
Oak Estates site, laying some topsoil over the spread dirt and then seeding it. They would
then mow the seeded areas once the vegetation has been established. This will eliminate
the erosion and sand on the driveway issue, and will greatly enhance the aesthetics of the
site. They do NOT plan at this time to relocate any of the dirt be any trucking of dirt to the
Longview site. This plan, approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District, would
satisfactorily address the issues on the Red Oak site.

County Road 10 Bridges
Reminder that the County Road 10 bridges over 35W will be removed the weekend of June
8, and they will be out of service until maybe November? MnDOT is replacing the bridges.
During the weekend of June 8th, 35W will be closed to allow for a more efficient and safe
removal of the bridges.
MCMA Conference
I recently attended the annual Minnesota City/County Management Association conference
in Nisswa. The sessions had a strong focus on mentoring, interns and “ethical leadership”
which the guest speakers spent time reinforcing. Ross Bernstein, Minnesota author and
sports fanatic, provided many analogies to ethical leadership using iconic Minnesota sports
legends and real-life stories about Herb Brooks and Harmon Killebew. He spoke
passionately about “doing the right thing” and leading by example, and all attendees came
away motivated, invigorated and refreshed.
Urban Land Institute MN Special Work Session
Reminder that the Council has scheduled a special work session on Thursday, June 14, at
6 pm to host the Urban Land Institute’s “Navigating the New Normal” round table
discussion. We’ve scheduled two-hours for the session and we hope to conclude with a
much better understanding of what’s before us from a development/redevelopment
perspective. While the meeting is of course “public” and anyone may attend, participation
will be limited to the Council members and members of the economic development and
planning commissions. More information regarding the ULI MN work shop is attached.
While the informal meeting will be recorded, because of the unknown format of the
meeting, it is not planned to be broadcast live but rather rebroadcast later.
Respectfully submitted,
