For the Week of July 18, 1994 - July 22, 1994 • ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION The Groundbreaking at Multi-Tech was a big success. The weather cooperated and we were able to officially kick off the Multi-Tech expansion. Today, I received a proposal from Everest, via Casserly and Molzen, for TIF assistance for an "un-named" business. I have attached the proposal and have also faxed the proposal to Jim O'Meara. City staff and Jim O'Meara will be meeting with Jim Casserly on Monday, August 1st to discuss the details of this proposal. I find it more than amusing that the expectations are for the Council to make such a significant decision as TIF assistance on some "un-named" company. Next week is the beginning of "Vacation Mania". Michele is on vacation all week, Cathy is on vacation Monday through Wednesday, Paul is on vacation Wednesday through Friday, Don Brager is on vacation all, week and I will be in Bemidji attending the LMC's Annual Board Strategic Planning Session Wednesday through Friday. The Enterprise Fund Budgets and the Work Session Agenda will be completed on Wednesday of next week. So, Councilmembers can pick up their packets a day early. The department quarterly reports were pushed back to the August Work Session from July due to the demands of the new Program/Performance Budget and the lengthy July Work Session agendas. If any Councilmember wishes to place an item on the August 1st Work Session, please let me know as soon as possible. I spoke with a representative of the Metropolitan Airports Commission today regarding some of the City's concerns regarding the Anoka County-Blaine Airport. There will be a meeting of MAC and city officials (Blaine, Circle Pines, Lexington, Coon Rapids and others) on August 3rd at 1:30 p.m. Samantha Airport Drive/County Road J intersection On Tuesday, 7/12, Jim Hess and I met with Dan Soler, Engineer from Ramsey County, and Chuck Lenthy, Engineer from the City of Blaine, about adding streetlights at the northwest corner and the southeast corner of this intersection. Representatives from MNDot and Anoka County were unable to attend. According to Mr. Lenthy, Anoka County is going to do another traffic study (sometime in August) to determine if traffic lights are needed at this intersection. If traffic lights are added, streetlights usually accompany them. The City of Blaine would rather wait until this happens, which could take one year to whenever the traffic counts reaches the magic number. In the meantime, I have met with NSP at the location and they have indicated a light could be installed at the southeast corner for no charge. However, this is a wooden pole installation which is not as aesthetically pleasing as the metal poles the state uses. Also, there may be regulations that require a breakaway pole be used. MNDot thought they could contribute a pole or two to the project and are currently searching for some that are available. I will keep you posted on the progress of this installation. 5 Year Goal Plan The 5 year goal plan is complete and is scheduled for delivery the last weekend in July. Gary Stevenson has enlisted a group of football players, through the Irondale Booster Club, to make the delivery. Computer Needs Assessment A representative from All Systems Go met with me on Wednesday, 7/20, to discuss the City's current computer situation and where we wanted to go in the future. He surveyed the premises and will come up with a rough cost estimate in the next couple of days for the work that is proposed. Tim C. Economic Development Attraction: ♦ Update regarding Biotech Company A few months ago Mounds View sent a proposal to a biotech company looking to build a corporate headquarters facility and/or manufacturing facility in the Metro Area. I have been in contact with Metro East Development Partnership and the company is waiting for financial approvals before they continue their site selection process. It is expected that the company will make decisions on potential sites to tour by the end of the month. I will keep you posted! ♦ Other Metro East Proposals 10,000 s.f. restaurant chain out of Oregon - no decisions made 150,000 s.f. manufacturing facility - current metro area company being lured by Wisconsin. The company made a decision to purchase property and build-to-suit in Washington County. At least the $'s and jobs stayed in Minnesota! 3,000 s.f. manufacturing facility for an automotive equipment company. Still reviewing information. Local News: ♦ Addie Lane Floral has changed owners. The new owner is Carol Johnson from Coon Rapids. She is excited about the store and is very willing to participate in networking activities in the community. You may have noticed her handing out carnations in the parade at Festival in the Park. ♦ According to Delane Welsch, a new EDC member, we should be proud of Super America in Mounds View who are the highest sellers of gas in the entire Twin Cities Metro, 3rd highest in-store sales and are ranked as an overall top seller for Super America's. I will follow-up with the manager of Super America to congratulate him and prepare a press release on the "Good News" of Mounds View! Outreach: ♦ I met with NSP representatives David Schwartz, Customer Service Manger and John Jensvold, Economic Development Representative last week. I gave them a tour of the golf course and the Mounds View business park. Mr. Jensvold currently is working with a biotech company looking to lease 15,000 s.f. in the north Metro area. Therefore, I gave him information regarding the Mounds View Business Park South space next to Medtronic. In addition, learned of NSP programs that assist cities with marketing and low income housing which we will pursue. ♦ I attended the Suburban Area Chamber of Commerce Board Meeting last week at the early hour of 7:00 am in Arden Hills. The Board members were very pleased to have me there and I graciously gave them an update on activities in the City such as expansion of Multi-Tech, establishment of EDC, retention program, creating a new image, etc. The next meeting is hosted by Perkins Restaurant in Mounds View on August 10th at 8:00 a.m. You are all welcome to attend! Cathy (PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS: 1 . The prep of City Hall Park and the after clean up of City Hall Park was a priority for last week and early this week. The park was in great shape for the Festival. 2. Electrical repair work has been scheduled with Bacon Electric for Hillview and Lambert Parks. 3. Greenfield Park trail has been fenced off because of the interceptor work being done. 4. The Parks Crew has been great! - having everything ready for events at the parks - picnics, tournaments, athletic games, summer playground activities, special needs, etc. Parks maintenance is key to park facilitation and customer service and satisfaction. 5. Oakwood Park drinking fountain project locations and supplies have been arranged for Oakwood Park drinking fountain. This Project is slated for next week. RECREATION: 1 . Needless to say it has been a very hectic week last week and this week both setting up things for Festival and putting away and doing the clean up tasks such as letters of thanks, returning supplies and equipment, reconciling money receipts, etc. Sharie put in over 80 hours last week working on the Festival and the MVCT brochure. It was a long week for her. Hats off to Sharie for a great parade and Festival. And thanks to everyone who helped out - you all will be personally appreciated with a special thank-you note. 2. The MVCT production of "Oliver" opens Friday evening, July 22. Ticket orders are beginning to come in steadily. The next three weeks will require lots of telephone time for ticket reservations. 3. We have been fine tuning the details for our Safety Camp which begins Monday. We have great expectations for this special activity and hope that it is a success. Special thanks to Kathy Bednar for all her time and work with the Safety Camp. Brad Pellegrino has been chief planner and organizer for this special event and we wish him well on this huge endeavor. (He's stressed out!) ha. FORESTRY: 1 . Rick is scratching his head wondering where the big Dutch Elm outbreak came from. Evidently there is a source that is being carried in to make such a sharp increase in the number of cases. Rick has also seen a large disease outbreak in Roseville. Many trees have been marked for removal. 2. Park trees and bushes are being trimmed. 3. Work on Long Lake Road tree replacement continues. 4. A number of the Oaks which were distributed in the Tree Sale program did not survive as we can testify by the oaks planted at City Hall Park. (The one I got also died where all the other species are going great). Unfortunately the Oak trees may have been stressed too greatly for bare root distribution. CABLE TV: 1 . We are anticipating the arrival of the podium this Thursday, July 21 . Hopefully it can be installed in working order for Monday's public hearings. 2. Jerry has been over extending his 20 hours per week in the televising of the parade, festival activities, A View From the Mound, Council meetings, MVCT taping, etc. Again, we are only restricted in programming as time is available for Jerry's expertise in editing and cable casting. 3. Congratulations to Dale Irving who won an award for work done with the City of St. Paul. Dale is one of our technicians during special projects and council meetings. He is a hometown Mounds View person. (See the attached article and picture). GOLF COURSE: 1 . The golf course shop is almost coming right along, is closed in and lock-able. 2. The irrigation is ready to be fired up. Irrigation heads are being installed. 3. Seeding should begin in the next few weeks, as soon as irrigation is completed. 4. Phone service is currently being installed. 5. Minnegasco will be our gas service, connecting with a main from Coral Sea. 6. Bridges and boardwalk are in. Mary S. FINANCE • Jerry Skelly expects the presenter's table for the Council Chambers to be delivered this Thursday. Then he will install the document camera. He says that with a little luck, all will be ready for the July 25 Council meeting. • Samantha & I met with the Department Heads this week to review first drafts of Special Revenue and Enterprise funds budgets. These will be presented to Council at the August 1 Work Session. • Don Brager will be on vacation next week, July 25 - 29. Don POLICE 1 . Investigators attended two meetings last week--- Anoka Gang Task Force and Ramsey Co. Investigators. 2. We had a departmental meeting on Wednesday. Topics discussed were: court decisions, budgets, traffic enforcement, and capital expenses. 3. The Chief attended a meeting with other Ramsey Co. chief's last week. Many topics were discussed. A uniform curfew ord. is in the works for all of Ramsey Co.. More info on that will follow as it develops. 4. The Supreme Court made a decision that will probably have a major impact on Police Departments. The Court said that all custodial interrogations must be "electronically recorded". That means that we will have buy more tape recorders and tapes. Henn. Co. has requested a stay on this decision. If the stay is denied, we will have to money that has not been budgeted. 5. Reed Krogh broke his foot (no he didn't put in mouth). He is on Vacation now, but will miss at least a week upon his return. 6. On Tuesday, about one-third of the squad room floor was flooded with water. The problem was traced to a construction flaw. Tim C. was notified and the problem is being solved. Undetermined damage at this time. The Parade and Festival went well. The Chief is still concerned about the "Gaps" in the Parade. He is not sleeping well at night. Tim R. PUBLIC WORKS Final revisions for the patching contract were edited last week, and ads were placed in the New Brighton Bulletin and Construction Bulletin. The quantities in this contract are less than last year. Two additions will be replacement of the driveways at the well pump houses, and replacement of the walk paths in the city. These two portions of the contract will be paid for by their respective departments. A staff report will be prepared for the August 1 , 1994 work session, but will be distributed by hand that night as the bid opening is that Monday. Staff has also completed a visual inspection of the roads for sealcoating. Staff is recommending that approximately 41 ,000 square yards be sealcoated. Since this is a relatively small project, staff is requesting that slurry sealing be performed this year. Staff visited Mendota Heights last year when they were performing this method of sealing. Mendota Heights has been using this procedure for the last 6 years with excellent results. The benefits of Slurry sealing is, there is no loose rock to drive on, no stripping of rock after the plowing season, a minor amount of pavement strength and leveling added, and 100 % contractor responsibility for the entire contract. Staff will be using the Mendota Heights bid. We are having some problems with filter plant 3 with sand being force through the filter. The sand is plugging the chlorination line . The water division staff is going to look into some possible solutions. Staff will be repairing the third sink hole of the season this week at the intersection of Hillview and Greenwood. It appears that the storm sewer pipe has broken at the bell fitting and consequently separated. No explanation as to why at this time, we might know more after the excavation. Staff will be meeting with SEH, NSP, and Keating and Assoc. next week to discuss electric rates, operational procedures of the water production system and an energy audit of all city facilities. Mike COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT LONG LAKE ROAD UPDATE Ramsey County laid the final course of bituminous this week on Long Lake Road. All street markings have also been completed. Staff will update the Council on the tree replacement within the next few weeks. NUISANCE ORDINANCE Staff has completed the first draft of the revised Mounds View Nuisance Ordinance. A copy will be forwarded to both the Planning Commission and the City Council for review. Hopefully a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the City Council will be ready in two to three weeks. Paul H. .

Mayor Linke stated that 32 now the resident or developer has to go through the same process 33 twice, once with the City and once with Rice Creek Watershed 34 District and, if the City takes over the permitting process, the 35 resident or developer would only _have to go through the process one 36 time. 37 38 Councilmember Trude asked if the City requires soil borings. 39 40 Mayor Linke responded that the soil borings are done by the 41 developer and all data is provided to the City's consultant. Mayor 42 Linke commented that this has been the standard procedure. Mayor 43 Linke stated that he is not aware of any case where a resident has 44 had to do soil borings. The contractor normally would do the soil 45 borings because the contractor would have to find out what the 46 footings are being put on. 47 48 Councilmember Trude stated concerns as to adding additional stress 49 to the staff by the City taking over the permitting process. 50 Trude stated that she understood the City was talking about SEH 51 bringing ordinances up to date, but didn't know that the City was 52 taking over permitting. Trude also expressed concern that there was 53 an environmental issue which would conflict with the City taking 54 over the permitting. Trude stated that the City would not be as UNAPPR OVEL) 1 Mounds View City Council Page Five 2 Regular Meeting July 11, 1994 3 4 5 objective as Rice Creek Watershed District. Trude stated that she 6 would like more public input. Trude also stated that the City could 7 deny a permit in a wetland and the City would end up defending 8 itself in court. 9 10 Mayor Linke stated that if the developer/resident passed our wetland 11 ordinance, they would pass Rice Creek Watershed's. Linke stated 12 that the City' s is stricter. Mounds View's Wetland Ordinance is the 13 strictest in the metro area and Linke stated that he believed, in 14 the state. 15 16 Councilmember Trude stated that if the City were to deny a permit, 17 then there could be a lawsuit. 18 19 Mayor Linke stated that the City has denied permits and that the 20 developer then reconfigured the work and met the code requirements. 21 22 Councilmember Trude asked what the driving force was behind the 23 City rushing into the permitting. 24 25 Mayor Linke indicated that this permitting policy has been talked 26 about for the past three years. 27 28 Councilmember Trude stated that the last work session was the first 29 time that she had heard about it. 30 31 Councilmember Wuori explained that the recommendation by staff is to 32 approve a contract with SEH to proceed with developing a permitting 33 policy. Wuori stated that there would be time to hold a public 34 hearing to get public input. Wuori noted that there wouldn't be any 35 type of policy to adopt before this Fall . 36 37 Councilmember Trude suggested the ordinance amendments be made and 38 then the City should look at making a decision regarding the 39 permitting process. Trude stated that there are a lot of people 40 that would watch this issue very carefully in the City. 41 42 Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, stated that at the meeting 43 Rocky Keene, SEH, stated that Tasks 1 through 3 could be completed 44 and if, at that time, the City wanted to go on to the Final Permit 45 Forms and Information Package for a cost of $8, 000 they could. 46 47 Councilmember Trude asked that at what point did staff discuss this 48 permitting policy. 49 50 Orduno responded that the permitting policy was totally discussed at 51 meeting by the City Council . 52 53 54 Lii\JAPFIR OVED 1 Mounds View City Council Page Six 2 Regular Meeting July 11, 1994 3 4 5 Councilmember Trude asked again at what point did staff come up with 6 the cost of $8 , 300 if the subject was only discussed at the Council 7 work session and not any further by staff. 8 9 Orduno stated that the Council talked about the $300 and also what 10 the total cost would be. Rocky Keene stated that the last $3 , 000 11 would be the cost if Council chose to move on to the Permitting 12 Forms and Information Package. 13 14 Mayor Linke explained that the contract allows the City to do this. 15 The contract would encompass everything and the costs would not be 16 piece meal . 17 18 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Wuori to Approve Contract to SEH to Proceed 19 with Developing a Permitting Policy for the City of Mounds View for 20 the Sum of $8 , 000 to be Funded from the Surface Water Management 21 Fund, Account No. 420-4121-303 22 23 VOTE: 4 ayes 1 nay Motion Carried 24 25 REPORTS 26 27 1 .

Wuori announced the times and dates for the 39 performances and added that tickets can be purchased at City 40 Hall, charged and tickets then can be mailed out or purchased 41 on a will call basis. Wuori commented that this is a great 42 family play. 43 44 Councilmember Trude: Trude asked what the status was regarding 45 the streetlight on County Road J and Airport Road. 46 47 Orduno noted that Tim Cruikshank is scheduling a meeting for 48 next week with Ramsey County, Anoka County and MnDOT. 49 50 Orduno also noted that MnDot, Ramsey County and Anoka County 51 have been very cooperative regarding this streetlight issue. 52 53 Orduno also mentioned that the sign entering Mounds View would 54 be taken care of in about three months. UNAppR OVED 1 2 Mounds View City Council Page Seven 3 Regular Meeting July 11, 1994 4 5 6 Councilmember Trude commented that this would improve safety 7 in that neighborhood. Trude also asked about the noise barrier 8 walls. 9 10 Orduno commented that staff had been out to the site and 11 looked at the walls. These walls come in sections and perhaps 12 a section could be removed or a section curved in some. 13 14 Councilmember Trude encouraged residents to stop completely at 15 stop signs and to watch their speed limits in the City. 16 17 Councilmember Trude also mentioned that she was glad to see the 18 people who attended and gave input at the budget work session. 19 Trude noted that a couple of those persons stayed until 1: 00 20 a.m. 21 22 Report of Administrator: 23 24 Samantha Orduno reported that there will be public informational meeting 25 on the Pleasantview Drive reconstruction regarding curbs, gutters and 26 storm sewer.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Attached please find three Resolutions for Outstanding Performance for Bill Hanggi, Bill Hanson and Tim Pittman. These three gentleman have gonefar beyond the call of duty in the performance of their duties and Council recognition of their contributions is truly warranted. As has been the practice of the City in awarding Outstanding Performance Resolutions, this action is to be a "surprise" to the men. Mike Ulrich has told them that their presence is required at the meeting Monday night because of Council questions regarding the City's wells and the garage energy audit. They do not know that they are being honored. Also consistent with City practice is the awarding of a $50 gift certificate to each of the men. The certificates will be purchased on Friday, July 22nd and will be available for presentation at the meeting Monday. I have not placed the three Resolutions on the Agenda under Special Order of Business in order to protect the "surprise" . However, the agenda reflects that there are three items for consideration under Special Order. . . .the blanks can be filled in with the Resolution numbers as they are presented. I have attached the following: 1. Memo from Mike Ulrich regarding Bill Hanson and Bill Hanggi. 2 . Resolutions for Hanson and Hanggi. 3 . Memo from Mike Ulrich regarding Tim Pittman. 4 . Letter from the Police Department regarding Tim Pittman 5. Resolution for Pittman. This is a very exciting thing to be doing for some very hard working and creative individuals. I know that each of the men will be very proud to be recognized in this manner. Such action also sends a very clear message to all employees that they are valued and appreciated. It is great for orale and productivity! ' . if LL14-144-4K_ Sa •.ntha e duno, City Admin trator MEMO TO : Samantha Orduno, City Administrator FROM : Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works DATE: July 19, 1994 SUBJECT: Installation of flush out system at Water Treatment Plant #1 Several months after the operational changes had been resolved with the new water treatment plant, Water Operators Bill Hanson and Bill Hanggi reported that the slope of the reclaim tank was not adequate, therefore the sludge was not being removed from the tank sufficiently. They proposed to install a high pressure water flush system, to agitate the sludge into a suspended state, in which the pump could then discharge. Due to the other plant revisions taking place during this time, and other routine maintenance procedures, the flush out system had to be delayed. Throughout the past two years, when ever the reclaim tank needed to be cleaned out (every 2 months) , it was a task that required 3 operators to manually clean the tank. Not only was this task labor intensive, but it also required that staff disinfect the tank because the backwash water is pumped back into the filter and into the system. The process of manufacturing and installing a flush out system involved calculating the required flow per nozzle, tapping a water main inside the plant, drilling a 2 1/2 inch hole in the floor, installing a backflow preventer, plumbing all pipes, fittings and nozzles, and fastening pipes at the proper height and position in the tank, and installing an electrical solenoid valve to provide for automatic control. Material and labor is estimated to cost $3, 500. The expense of manual cleaning was approximately $1, 225 per year, making the payback of this installation about three years. Even though this project was very cost efficient, more important is the fact that the city no longer risks the possible contamination of the water system by entering the reclaim tank. Bill Hanson and Bill Hanggi deserve the highest of gratitude from the City of Mounds View for their ingenuity, professionalism, and workmanship in the construction of this project. RESOLUTION NO. 4598 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION OF COMMENDATION FOR OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE WHEREAS, it is the City's practice to encourage and reward outstanding performance by City staff; and WHEREAS, Bill Hanggi has exemplified the very best in innovative and creative practice through the design and implementation for the reclaim tank that will not only save the City money and time, but also keep the City's water system safe from contamination; and WHEREAS, the City Council wished to recognize the significant contributions of Mr. William Hanggi in not only the excellent day to day performance of his duties, but also for going the "extra mile" to make the City a safer, cleaner and better place to live and work. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the City Council in and for the City of Mounds View does hereby approve and award this RESOLUTION OF OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE to: MR. WILLIAM HANGGI for his ingenuity, innovation and creativity in developing a cost and time saving flush out system for the City's water reclaim system. Mr. Hanggi is truly characteristic of the high quality of City staff that the City of Mounds View is proud to have as part of their team. His contributions are greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!

(SEAL) Jerry Linke, Mayor Phyllis Blanchard, Councilmember Diane Wuori, Councilmember Gary Quick, Councilmember Julie Trude, Councilmember Samantha Orduno, City Administrator MEMO TO: Samantha Orduno, City Administrator FROM: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works DATE: July 20, 1994 SUBJECT: Squad Car Set Up As you know this is the first year that Tim Pittman has been totally responsible for the complete set-up of the new squad cars. That responsibility alone is one of extreme importance, accompanied by the addition of a more sophisticated lighting package and the installation of the Mobil Data Terminals (MDT) . The installation of these units was complicated this year because of the passenger side air bag that the car is equipped with. The police department had researched different mounting hardware for the MDT's, and found one to everyone's liking. The problem was that the mounting hardware cost $600, and was not available for 6 weeks. By observing the desired MDT mounts, Tim was able to manufacture brackets very similar to those requested, and in fact may have worked better. This enabled the installation of all the equipment into the squad cars to be completed at one time. Tim received some assistance in the set-up from Officer Bamgart. Tom was very helpful, especially with the new lighting package. For the first time since my arrival with the City of Mounds, the mechanic has received an unanimous approval from the entire Police Department on the set-up of new squad cars. This was possible only because of Tim's skills, knowledge, and workmanship. The effort that Tim consistently places on achieving perfection, has made these conversions a very productive project. cc: Tim Pittman Personnel File RESOLUTION NO. 4602 RESOLUTION FOR OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE WHEREAS, it is the City's practice to encourage and reward outstanding . performance by City staff; and WHEREAS, Timothy Pittman has taken the concept of outstanding performance to new heights by designing an installation system for the Mobile Data Terminals in the City's Police patrol cars; and WHEREAS, this accomplishment has saved the City money, but most importantly, his creative thinking and innovative work ethic has also saved one of the most important and valuable things for the Police Department - time; and WHEREAS, Mr. Pittman's accomplishments were recognized by the all of the police officers of the Mounds View Police Department, who wrote: "We the following officers of the Mounds View Police Department would like to thank Timothy Pittman for the construction, modification and fabrication to produce the style of squad car we now have. The numbers of hours we each spend in the vehicles make it necessary to have the equipment convenient and functional. Timothy Pittman always does an exceptional job. This time he combined several different ideas to produce the best vehicle we have had available to us." NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council in and for the City of Mounds View does hereby approve and award this RESOLUTION OF OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE to: TIMOTHY PITTMAN for his ingenuity, creativity and commitment to the safety of the officers of the Mounds View Police Department and everyone who lives and works in the City. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City Council does hereby recognize the quality of Mr. Pittman's work in all that he does for the City. He is a valued employee and a valuable asset to the City of Mounds View. THANK YOU for making Mounds View a better place!

Explanation/Summar/ (attach supplement sheets as neceaaar.r.) 5TTM 4,RY: In early 1993 Ramsey County approached the City of Mounds View proposing . a possible turnback of Pleasantview Drive from County Road H2 to County Road I . This section of pavement was identified as a roadway that no longer functions as a county road but serves more of a residential, city street purpose. Since that initial contact, staff from Fridley, Ramsey County, and the City of Mounds View have worked together to achieve a road design acceptable to the residents and serve the appropriate traffic design. The following events have taken place over the course of the past year. 1 . In August of 1993 a joint public informational meeting was held with residents from Fridley and Mounds View in attendance. At this meeting, a presentation was made that included a proposed curb and gutter assessment of not more than $8 . 00 per frontage foot, and a discussion about a possible storm water assessment. The road design would be 38 feet wide with parking on both sides. A petition was circulated in the following weeks, 8 out of 12 signed the petition acknowledging the preceding assessments. 2 . All staffs involved reviewed several sets of plans for the reconstruction of Pleasantview Drive. 3 . Traffic counts were taken on Pleasantview Drive to determine it's eligibility for Municipal State Aid Street designation. 4 . State aid designation was received for the reconstruction. 5 . Ramsey County agreed to expend $52 , 000 in a payment to the City of Mounds View for the reconstruction of the county portion of the roadway. The county would also provide engineering services, staking, insp , ,ion, and pavement marking for the project. ,e_41--- Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works RECOMMENDATION: ...... STAFF REPORT PAGE TWO JULY 25, 1994 6 . A Joint Powers Agreement was signed between the City of Fridley and the City of Mounds View, stating that Fridley would administer the project, and Mounds View would be billed for one half (1/2) , of the construction costs. 7 . The City of Fridley advertised the project and opened bids on July 5, 1994 . The low bid received was W.B. Miller Inc. for a total bid of $236 , 568 . 05 . 8 . A public informational meeting was held on July 12 , 1994 to inform the residents of the proposed assessments of approximately $5 . 00 per foot of curb and gutter, and $500 for the storm water assessment. Further discussion included temporary and permanent easements requirements and unit prices for private driveway replacement. Residents on Pleasantview Drive have signed a petition requesting the improvement of the street by widening it with parking lanes, a new driving surface and curb and gutter. A feasibility study is not required. The City must consider development of a policy regarding long side assessments, not only for this project but for all future projects.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) UMMARY; Vince Meyer has made application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a 976 square foot garage on his property at 8380 Spring Lake Road. Chapter 1106 .04, Subdivision 6 allows for garages in residential areas of the City in excess of 864 square feet, but not exceeding 1264 square feet, with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. The applicants request, as proposed, meets all other requirements of the Municipal Code relating to setbacks, height, land use, etc. At the time the applicant made application for the Conditional Use Permit, fees for the building permit required for constructing the garage were also accepted. Because these fees had been paid, the applicant went ahead with the construction of the garage - not knowing that the Conditional Use permit procedure needed to run its course prior to construction. Staff feels that the applicant made an honest mistake and does not recommend any penalty in the form of increased fees. I have included an area map, application and plot plan provided by the applicant for your review. Based on the request meeting all applicable sections of the Municipal Code, Staff has prepared Resolution No. 4604 for your consideration. i Paul Harrington, Commu 'ty Development Coordinator RECOMMENDATION; Adopt Resolution No. 4604 approving a Conditional Use Permit for an oversize garage at 8380 Spring Lake Road, Vince Meyer. e ;,e ";Y.1� *'.▪ r+• `� ^JY` -„�'-R pT'~ `, 'S' "+ Z.; .� ^sk+:-' *47'7:'`x-`ivi t . y4�, -• + i _m�, r a} i ��d CITY OF'MOUNDS VIEW; ti`: �` .: . -- ,. rr"-� '1 aS- :- y.i" ▪ =y.�, Y'ar, 'rs1% )t 'r -.-+r PTis!"'SN L1 INAPPLI.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) UMMARY; As discussed on July 5, 1994, Church Upon the Rock, 7901 Red Oak Drive, has made application for an extension of a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the continued use of a temporary accessory structure on residentially zoned property. For review: In 1988, the Planning Commission and the City Council gave approval for the location of a temporary 'accessory building at 7901 Red Oak Drive (Resolution No. 2320) . At the time of approval, both the Commission and the Council had concerns about the available off-street parking area on the site, the lack of an improved surface for those existing parking facilities and, the proposed use for the accessory building. In order to somewhat address those concerns, the approval for the temporary structure included a five-year sunset clause. The specific language of the Resolution stipulated that the temporary structure be removed after a five year period and replaced with a permanent building. Additionally, at the end of this five year period, the site (i.e. parking facilities and surface) were required to be upgraded to meet current City codes . The concern with the use of the building was addressed in a separate resolution. In September of 1993, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4409 which, in part, extended the Conditional Use Permit to July 1, 1994. At this time, the applicant is requesting that an additional extension of two (2) years be granted to allow more time for the Church to assess its needs and options in relation to the site. Based on the direction given at the meeting of the 5th, Staff has prepared the attached Resolution for consideration. Paul Harrington, Communit Dp evelo ment Coordinator RECOMMENDATION; Adopt Resolution No. 4606 approving a two-year extension of a Conditional Use Permit for Church Upon the Rock, 7901 Red Oak Drive. RESOLUTION NO. 4606 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION APPROVING AN EXTENSION OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A TEMPORARY ACCESSORY STRUCTURE, CHURCH UPON THE ROCK, 7901 RED OAK DRIVE WHEREAS, Church Upon the Rock has made application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the continued use of a temporary accessory structure at 7901 Red Oak Drive; and WHEREAS, In 1988, the Mounds View City Council gave approval for a Conditional Use Permit for the placement of a temporary accessory structure on the property; and WHEREAS, the approved City Council resolution con- tained a "sunset" clause, which effectively revoked the permit after a five year period; and WHEREAS, in 1993, the City Council granted an exten- sion of one year to the original approval; and WHEREAS, Church Upon the Rock has requested an additional 2-year extension of the Conditional Use permit; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the request and found it in conformance with applicable City Codes . NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council approves the requested two-year extension of a Conditional Use Permit for a temporary accessory structure for Church Upon the Rock, 7901 Red Oak Drive contingent upon the following: 1 . The Conditional use permit shall be recorded with Ramsey county. 2 . The Conditional Use Permit shall become null and void in the event the property is sold or trans ferred.

ExpianaconiSu W.aryy (attach supplement sheets as accessary.) CTT1iT a TVI ` The Outdoor Recreation Grant which is being prepared for the August 1, 1994 deadline requires a public hearing for the project. The project includes a three year, three phase acquisition/development schedule. The first year involves land acquisition, at the appraised value of $50, 000 or $25, 000 / parcel. The second and third phases are for development. The original cost estimate was increased because the City Council requested additional facilities including park building and drinking fountain. Staff increased the original design expanding the parking lot to 40 car spaces to accommodate the concerns of the neighbors. Additional monies were also included for miscellaneous site preparations including grading, drainage and any fill that may be necessary. The total development funds is $150, 000 which should provide a very nice neighborhood park with facilities that will provide many multi-purpose recreation activity areas - designed specifically for children. There has been opposition to this park project, especially from a few neighbors with property abutting the proposed park area. There concerns seem to be noise, adults, traffic, and loss of privacy. Mr. Belisle, owner of the property is in flux as to whether or not the price of the land is high enough or whether or not he could get, a better price. Also, he has concerns about being able to get his boat out from his backyard, something that can be arranged in the purchase agreement. Needless to say, the neighbors who oppose the park project are discussing their various issues with Mr. Belisle. I expect that by Monday morning, July 25 at least one petition will be presented to City Hall . I have requested the Parks and Recreation Commission to be present at . the Public Hearing. A few are unable to attend. However, the ones that are present will hopefully provide their concerns regarding the lack of a park in this area of the community. We are meeting at 6: 30 p.m. to discuss and prepare for the Public Hearing. If you have any questions regarding the project please call me at 784- 0618 . Mary SaarioPector of Park , Recreation and Forestry 1 PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE City of Mounds View NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Mounds View City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, July 25, 1994 at 7 : 00 p.m.. at the Mounds View City hall, 2401 Hwy 10 to consider the proposed accuisiticn of property located at ;vccdale Rd. Pleasant View in the south west section of the communiy and the development of this parkland to include a multi-purpose athletic field for softball/baseball/soccer and other games, accessible playground equipment, paved parking lot, picnic area with sitting benches, and trash receptacles and park signs . This public hearing will be held to allow the public to -voice their concerns and support for the acquisition and development of this proposed park. The City of Mounds View plans to apply for grant monies from the State of Minnesota for this project The proposed plans for the park may be seen at will be available the �. the City Hall and at public hearing. All persons des be heard with reference to desiring t� the proposed and development may be heard at the public hearing. Samantha Orduno, .Ci ty Administrator City of Mounds View June 24 , 1994 ©DTY OF CDUHDO Phone: (612) 784-3055 UV Fax: (612) 784-3462 "Quite Simply the Best" July 8, 1994 Dear Resident: The City of Mounds View is contemplating the acquisition and development of two parcels of land located at Woodale Drive and Pleasant View Drive. There is a grant called the Outdoor Recreation Grant which offers 50 percent of the cost of park acquisition and development projects. I am in the process of preparing a grant for the purchase of the land and development, which would be phased in a three year timespan. Park development ideas include a small multi- purpose ballfleld for softball/t-ball, soccer and flag football activities. In addition, a large multi- age playground structure which is accessible and swing set would be included in the project. A paved parking lot, (40 car stalls) would accommodate the park activities. This paved parking lot would also serve as a hard court play area with small basketball court, four square and areas for hopscotch and other chalk games. A small park building would be included to accommodate neighborhood activities and possibly programs such as summer playgrounds, afterschool activities, scout meetings, etc. Park amenities would include a landscaped park sign, signs for rules and regulations, benches, picnic table, grill and trash receptacles. A drinking fountain would also be installed. The enclosed map provides an idea of one possible park layout. The grant would include grading the area and site preparation. Because this section of the community lacks accessible park facilities, it has been the intention of the Parks and Recreation Commission to pursue the development of a park site in this general location. Park areas offer a focal point for the neighborhood and provides a place for children to play. This park would be classified as a neighborhood park because of its small size and therefore tends to have a priority of serving the children of the immediate neighborhood. The grant proposal will be approximately $200,000 over a three year timespan -- with a 50 percent match -- which brings the city's total share to $100,000 or $50,000 in 1995, $25,000 in 1996 and $25,000 in 1997. Again, a grant is being submitted for the acquisition and development of a park. It is always hopeful, but never certain that the grant will be awarded. Please attend the public hearing regarding this project which will be held on Monday,July 25, 1994 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. Your ideas and feedback will be greatly appreciated. For additional information, please call me at 784-0618.

ExplanationiSuamarj (attach supplea,zat sheets as necessary.) iTTi mini.11.13,y; On July 13 , 1994 former City Attorney Dick Meyers and myself attended the Metropolitan Council' s Transportation Committee's Public Hearing on the proposed changes to the Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide. The proposed changes incorporated new forecasts of aircraft and passenger growth made in 1993 and recent Council and Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) decisions growing out of the airport "dual track" planning. Important to the City of Mounds View was proposed guidelines governing the development of long-range plans for the MAC's smaller airports - including the Anoka County-Blaine Airport. The proposed changes to the AC/B Airport include upgrading the airport from a "minor use, reliever" airport" to an airport with "sufficient land • envelope to accommodate major capacity enhancing airside improvements. " The Regional System Airports Study recommended that parallel runways be developed at the AC/B Airport and an air traffic control tower be installed "because much of the operational capacity shortfall identified for the regional reliever system will be experience at this reliever system airport. " The members of the . Transportation Committee were reminded of the stipulations of the July, 1986 Ramsey County Court Order (a result of a lawsuit both against the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Airports Commission) which stated that MAC agreed to develop the AC/B Airport as a "minor use" airport and to restrict the installation and use of any instrument landin•_g-system or microwave landing system solely to the east/west Runw. i No. 826 . /i♦ ! / 4''i` -1 t Samantha Orduno, City Adminis rator \ . RECOMMENDATION: Motion to Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution No. 4597 Deposing Runway and Control Tower Development at the Anoka County-Blaine Airport STAFF REPORT PAGE TWO JULY 25, 1994 The Order is attached herein. Installation of parallel runways and an air traffic control tower at the airport would be in violation of the 1986 Court Order. While the testimony presented by myself and Mr. Dick Meyers clearly indicated the City's position in this matter, it is prudent to follow up the testimony with a formal resolution, adopted by the City Council, which establishes, once again, the City's position. The attached Resolution was prepared by Mr. Meyers and if approved by the Council will be forwarded to members of the Transportation Committee as well as members of the Metropolitan Council, with a more expansive letter of explanation to the City' s Metropolitan Council representative, Mr. Patrick Leung.

St. Paul, MN 55101 Dear Chair Smith and Members of the Transportation Committee: The City of Circle Pines requests that the following information be entered into the record of the public hearing on the Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide. The City of Circle Pines has a number concerns about the Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide. Those concerns relate directly to portions of the Reliever Airport Section of the Development Guide. Specifically, our concerns relate to Policy 6 on .page 11 of the Development Guide. We believe that Policy 6, as it is currently stated, emphasizes infrastructure for providing general aviation facilities. We disagree with this approach. We believe that the Metropolitan Airports Commission should first use financial inducements making it more economical to use the reliever airport • rather than the major airport. We therefore urge you to rewrite Policy 6 and change its emphasis. A suggested revision is as follows: Policy Jiun bex • .. c The Metropolitan Airports Commission is urged to maintain all of its reliever airports at a high level of operational readiness. MAC should encourage better use of reliever airports, to divert traffic from the major airport to the reliever airports. Only when other avenues have been exhausted should the Metropolitan Airports Commission Printed on Recycled Paper CITY OF CIRCLE PINES TEL :612-785-2859 Jul 20 '94 14 :56 No .003 P .03 - 2 ` consider the addition of facilities or infrastructure to reduce use of the majer airport by transient aircraft. We believe that this reflects a regional interest in providing relief to the major airport for general aviation use, without requiring the Metropolitan Airports Commission to make large capital investments in the reliever airports. Councilmembers should also note that reliever airports in other metropolitan areas which are at or above capacity have not expanded to meet the excess demand. The result has been the development of further outlying airports which function as relievers to the reliever airport system. We believe that this is a realistic alternative to infrastructure investment in the reliever system. The City of Circle Pines specifically opposes, the recommenda- tions for the Anoka County/Blaine airport of parallel runways and an air traffic control tower. There are a number of reasons why we do not feel this is appropriate. First, the long-term plan for the airport is not completed and it would be premature to agree to those improvements before the process is completed. Second, in terms of meeting the reliever airport function, we believe that the lesser step of an instrumentt flight system may be sufficient to provide for the expected business-use growth that the plan attempts to divert from the major airport. Third, when the reliever airport recommendations were made, the site area in Dakota County had not been identified. The current recommendations propose major investment into the reliever airport that is most distant from the alternate site for the major airport. If the major airport is located in Dakota Cokunty, we believe this will require the enhancement or addition of a reliever airport near the major airport. The City questions the Historic General Aviation Aircraft and Future Trend depicted in Figure 14 (p.44) . The 1988 forecast utilizes a very short-term upward trend and projects it far forward. In fact, data for most years indicate that there is a downward trend in general aviation aircraft operations. We therefore question the assumption that the reliever airport system will be over capacity. Statewide general aviation aircraft has mt increased. Please find enclosed a chart of statewide aircraft in use which shows that flat trend over the last 11 years. Finally, the investment of major infrastructure dollars into a tower and runways will relieve the overcrowding that occurs primarily on clear weekend days during the spring and summer. During most operational hours use of the Blaine facility is not near peak constraints. It would thus appear that there is sufficient capacity available during the normal business-use hours to meet any expected increase in flights. The purpose of Jul 20 '94 14 57 No . 003 P .04 CITY OF CIRCLE PINES TEL :612-785-2859 - 3 - the reliever airports can be met without the major expenditure of infrastructure dollars that is proposed. The Metropolitan Council has demonstrated previously, with MUSA planning related to residential growth in the metropolitan area and in transportation, that it is important to manage systems to maximize the use of existing infrastructure. We believe that also applies directly to the reliever airport system. The focus should be on the system's ability to relieve Minneapolis/St. Paul rather than providing infrastructure dollars to meet peak recreational usage. If the Council feels that it is important to add to the capacity of the reliever system, we believe that appropriate place for expansion is the Identified General Aviation Search Area which is currently underserved.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) ,SUMMARY; At their July 5, 1994 meeting, the City Council reviewed the request of John Purves, representing Wolf and Associates, for a Development Review to allow the construction of a 9,566 square foot addition to their existing facility at 4860 Mustang Circle. Staff has reviewed the request and found that, as proposed, the development meets all requirements of the Municipal Code as it relates to setbacks, parking, land use, etc. Provision for the handling of storm water runoff on the site was addressed in 1991 when a similar proposal was approved by both the Planning Commission and the City Council. In addition to the facility expansion, the applicant also requested that the easement for the former water tower site immediately adjacent to the subject property be vacated so that it can be utilized for storage area. Staff feels that the interests of the City would be best served by leasing the water tower site to the applicant rather that vacating the property. The primary reason for leasing versus vacating is that access to a 12 inch water main and shut-off valve located on the property needs to be maintained. . The Council also expressed interest in acquiring an easement on the West side of the applicants property which would provide emergency access to the Manufactured Home Park (Townsedge Terrace) in the event the main entrance to the Park becomes obstructed. The applicant has indicated a willingness to provide the City with that easement. Staff has drafted the attached Resolution for consideration by the Council. Please note that reference to landscaping on the North property line of the facility, the previously mentioned easement and the leasing of the water tower site have all been included in the Resolution. - - --- ) _ . 7 / ..,_ ,--1 c c 7 C-----..

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY: On Friday, July 15, 1994 an individual gave Tim Cruikshank the attached Initiative Petition. Nothing was said to Tim other than the individual, who did not name himself, wanted the date stamped on the Petition. In processing this Petition, the procedures outlined in the City Charter have been followed. It is unclear exactly what the intent of the Petition is in that the language which proposes the Ordinance addresses only the term limits of Mayor and City Council, yet the body of the proposed Ordinance goes on to address the terms limits of all elected officials. Also, the Petition does not follow the Initiative Petition guidelines set forth in the City Charter in that it does not contain the signatures of at least 15% of the total number of electors who' cast their votes for President at the last Presidential election nor does the Petition include the required verification oath of the circulator. Based on the lack of required signatures and missing circulator oath of verification, the Petition is "Insufficient" under Chapter 5, Sections 5. 02 and 5 . 03 of the City Charter. The subject of the Petition is also one that is not within the jurisdiction of local government authority. This issue is currently under discussion by the Charter Commission. They commissioned an independent attorney's opinion on the State Attorney General's Opinion which stated that term limits do not fall within the jurisdiction of a local unit of government. A copy of the Charter Commission's attorney is attached. The attached Resolution of Insufficiency has been prepared for your consideration.

The Attorney General's Opinion of April 14 , 1981 has been questioned and I have been asked to give an independent opinion regarding the Charter Commission's ability to place term limits on elected municipal offices within the City. After conducting considerable research into this question, I have come to the conclusion that there is no direct case law interpreting this particular question. I have, therefore, reviewed the cases cited by the Attorney General, as well as a review of the cases since the 1981 Attorney General 's Opinion. Since there was a movement in the State Legislature last Session to establish term limits I also obtained information on their interpretation of the Question. I also contacted the League of Minnesota Cities to see if they had any prepared material on this topic. The research shows that one' s eligibility tp hold office is generally viewed as a fundamental right. It is also clear that prior to the 1958 Constitutional Amendment, the Court interpreted the Constitution as restricting any legislative body's ability to enact laws restricting individual's lright to hold office. The 1958 Amendment provides that the Legislature may provide for 1The Constitution provides that to hold office an individual must be entitled to vote. Mounds View Charter Commission June 28 , 1994 Page Two qualifications for local government office. The language of Article XII, Section 3 on its face seems clear. The Amendment gives the State Legislature the right to provide qualifications for local office. While this _Constitutional Amendment may give the. Legislature the authority to grant to individual municipalities the right to set qualifications for local office, there is no statute, in my opinion, which could be interpreted as attempting to convey such authority. There is a recent case in which the Appellate Court reviewed the Legislature's authority to place limitations on eligibility for county sheriffs positions. In Elbers v. Grow, 502 N.W. 2d 810 (Minn. App. 1993) the Appellate Court was asked to rule on the ability of the State Legislature to place limitations on individuals for two separate county sheriffs positions. The Court held that the "plain language" of Minnesota's Constitution, Article XII, Section 3 , clearly authorizes the Legislature to change qualifications for local office. While the Elbers Court did not address the issue of local regulations of local offices , it very clearly concluded that the State Legislature under Article XII, Section 3 , was the body authorized to place qualifications on local offices . In the State Legislature last year there was a proposed Bill which called for term limits. The Bill which would have sent the issue of term limits to the voters failed in a Senate Committee and was never acted upon. I am enclosing a copy of a portion of a House Research Department position paper on term limits for elected offices, dated November of 1993 . In that memo the House Research Department indicated that local government offices can be subject to statutory term limits .
