fairways and rough areas. This unit has a mounted cab for the
practice range (protection from flying golfbalis) . This unit is
used but is totally reconditioned. The cost is $10, 000. Kurt
recommends the purchase of this unit because of the flexibility
of dual uses and time saving measures for mowing and ball pick-up
with the added use as a back-up mower.
Because this used unit is unique, it is one of a kind and has a
price which is reflective of a used and outdated piece of parks
mowing machinery that happens to be perfect for our ball picking
needs at the practice range with the added benenfit of mowing
capacities. This tractor/mower is much bigger than a traditional
ballpicker with more capabilities.
It is Golf Course Superintendent Kurt Johnson's recommendation
that the following units be approved for purchase for the
operation of the golf course: Toro Top Dresser for $5, 760, Toro
2000 2 wheel drive Sand Bunker Rake with plowbiade for $5,805,
and used Parkmaster Mower/Practice Range Ball Picker for $10, 000
for a total of $21,565 to be funded by the Golf Course Fund, 698-

SUMMARY•
4
On Friday September 2 , 1994 staff received the bids for the skidloader
update. Staff received only one bid. Much to staff's surprise, the program
offered by the manufacturer of the City's current skidloader has
discontinued the replacement program. Carlson Tractor and Equipment Co. has
bid a new 1994 model 785 and a 1995 model 885. The 1995 model is a new
model that replaces the 785. The manufacturer has increased the horsepower,
reduced the sound ratings and made many other safety and operational
improvements. Since the trade - in program has been discontinued, staff
recognizes this moment as perhaps the best opportunity to make one last ,
trade for the most current and improved model. After this trade, if f
approved, the City would then keep the skidloader and begin to schedule it
for replacement in the Vehicle and Equipment Schedule. Maintenance expenses
for the existing skidloader for the remaining of the year would total
approximately $800. This will include new tires, new cutting edge, change
of all fluids and service.
Bids received:
Carlson Tractor & Equipment:
1994 Model 785 $3,261. 03
1995 Model 885 $3,400. 55
Staff received $1200 for the update in 1994, and a proposed $1500 for the
1995 budget if adopted. Since the new 1995 model 885 will not be available
until January, staff is proposing to transfer $1200 from the 1994 budget
to 1995 and add $700. 55 to purchase a new skidloader in 1995. The City will
continue to utilize it's current machine with no penalty or additional
cost. This will be the best time for the City to trade it's current
skidloa er eceive the most value.

The Council of the City of Mounds View does hereby ordain:
SECTION I. Findings. The City Council finds that it is in the best interest of
the public to require subdividers and owners of property to include all contiguously
owned property when submitting a plat application for property that is previously
unplatted. This requirement is necessary in order for the City to properly plan for
the orderly development of property within its boundaries and to ensure that
subdividers consider the effect that present development has on potential future
development of adjoining properties.
SECTION II. Section 1202.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View City Code is
amended by adding the following paragraph:
c. The application must include all contiguous land
owned by the subdivider or owner, unless the
application is a replat of property that has been
previously platted. If only a portion of the
property to be subdivided is planned to be
presently developed, the remainder of the land may
be platted as an outlot. The subdivider or owner
must submit a schematic demonstrating how the
property that is not currently planned for
development could be developed consistent with the
City's regulations.
SECTION III. The introductory clause to Section 1102.02 of the Mounds

DEFINITIONS: The following words and terms,
wherever they occur in this ale Code, shall be

by adding a new subdivision to read:
Subd. 81a. OUTLOT. A parcel of land included in a
plat or subdivision which is: (1) smaller than the
minimum lot size and therefore unbuildable until
combined through platting or subdivision with
additional land; (2) not presently proposed for
development and therefore subject to future
platting or subdivision prior to development; or
(3) designated for public or private open space,
right-of-way, utilities or other similar purpose.

publication.

Attached please find Resolution 4626 which: 1) certifies to Ramsey County the
City's Proposed 1995 Property Tax Levy, and 2) sets the City's public hearing on
the 1995 Budget for Wednesday November 30, 1994 at 7:00 p.m.(if a
continuation of the hearing is necessary it is scheduled for Wednesday December
7, 1994 at 7:00 p.m.).
The City's proposed 1995 property tax levy is 4.3% greater than the 1994 levy.
The estimated effect upon the average homeowner($87,908 home) is an increase
in the City's shar-e of the property tax levy of $16.10. That estimate is based
upon the home's estimated market value increasing by 2.3% from 1994 to 1995
and the latest estimates of the City's aggregate net tax capacity values from the
County. I have learned that the County will use updated values to prepare
Truth In Taxation notices mailed to taxpayers. When those estimates become
available I will recalculate the impact of the City's levy upon the average
homeowner.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 4626, "A Resolution Certifying

Three bids were received for the improvements to Groveland and Hillview

advised the option of accepting the withdrawal request of the low bid
and consider the second lowest bid which would be Callahan Construction.
The Callahan bid of $38, 469 is a higher cost than the CDBG grant award
of $25, 000 which the City would receive in retroactive payment upon
project completion. I discussed the possibility with the Parks and
Recreation Commission at the August 25 meeting to receive their
recommendation in the circumstance that the bids were higher than the
alloted grant award. It was their recommendation that staff request
Council to consider appropriating the additional monies (which in this
case would be $13 , 469) for the balance of the project cost. An
alternative is to choose only one of the park buildings for
improvements. Hillview is the easiest of the two because of closer
sewer distances and presumably lower water table. Hillview Park is also
more centrally located. Therefore Hillview Park building would be the
recommended choice if onlyonebui ding could be improved.

SEPTEMBER 12 , 1994
A possible funding source would be the $14, 000 in park dedication
received this summer from the CG Hill project.
Staff requests Council's consideration of the two options, one
being appropriating additional monies for completing both park
building improvements and the other option of selecting only one
park building to be improved.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY;
In February and March of this year, as part of the Focus 2000 process, the
Focus 2000 Steering Committee was asked to develop both a Mission and
Vision Statement for the Community. Brian Sjoberg from the Growth,
Development and Business Issue Project Team, Stefan Benson and Bob Easton
from the Housing and Neighborhoods Issue Project Team and Dan Nelson and
Bill Wilson from the City Government Issue Project Team drafted these
statements as requested.
At' the April, 1994 Council/Staff Annual Strategic Planning Session, these
statements were presented to the Council for consideration. After making
minimal changes to their original form, the Council agreed the statements
were well written and describe the community in ways which are consistent
with the future of the City.
Also as part of the Focus 2000 program, the City is embarking on a
comprehensive customer service program for all City employees to
participate in. The first session is scheduled for Wednesday, September
14 . It is the intention to have the employees 'sign off' on these
statements in a symbolic effort to make a commitment to the quality of
service that is delivered to the community.
Tim Cruikshank, Asst. to City Admin.
FECOMMENDATION;
Approve Vision and Mission Statements as presented and adopt them as the

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement s necessary.)
SUMMARY:
At the request of one of the proprietors affected by the on-sale intoxicating liquor license fee,
the Mounds View City Council, over the past few months, has discussed several possible
options to renovate the fee structure. At the September, 1994, Council Worksession, the City
Council was presented with a new method of determining liquor license fees that is more fair
and equitable to affected proprietors. The proposed formula for both on-sale without cabaret
and on-sale with cabaret is $.65/sq. ft. for bar area and $.53/sq. ft. for dining area.
Each establishment would be affected as follows:
DONATELLES
BAR AREA • $.65/sq. ft. x 891 sq. ft. = $579.15
DINING AREA • $.53/sq. ft. x 4280 sq. ft. = $2268.40
TOTAL FOR DONATELLES = $2,847.55/yr. (minimum $3,000)
ROBERT'S
BAR AREA • $.65/sq. ft. x 7,262 sq. ft. = $4,720.30
TOTAL FOR ROBERT'S = $4,720.30
4-
GiieLk
Tim Cruikshank, Asst. to City Admin.
EECOMMENDATIONz
Waive reading and adopt Resolution No. 4629 amending Resolution No. 4461 which adopted
the 1994 Mounds View Fee Schedule on December 13, 1993.
MERMAID
BAR AREA • $.65/sq. ft. x 18,292 sq. ft. = $11,889.80
DINING AREA • $.53/sq. ft. x 2243 sq. ft. = $1,211.22
TOTAL FOR MERMAID = $13,101/yr. ($10,000 cap)
By changing the liquor license fee structure to the proposed formula including the minimum and
the maximum fees, the City would experience a decrease in revenues. In 1993, the City
collected $25,623.70 in liquor license fees from these three establishments. If the Council
adopted this new liquor license fee structure, the City would collect $17,720.30, a difference
of $7,903.40. This amount has been taken into consideration for the proposed 1995 budget.
If this Resolution is adopted, the new fees would be retroactive to July 1, 1994.

SUMMARY;
The City of Mounds View has received a request from Ramsey County to apportion the assessments for two
properties located in the Mounds View Business Park East/Pinecrest Addition (Outlots A & B). This request is
due to a major subdivision/1ot combination, and thus new PIN numbers have been given to the properties.
One of the new PIN numbers noted on Division No. DD064873, 08-30-23-44-0015-4 has actually been combined
with the lot directly above it, 08-30-23-41-0011-1, to form one lot. However, Ramsey County has informed me
that because the lots exist in different Tax Increment Districts, they cannot be combined as one for tax purposes.
Attached are Resolution Nos. 4622 and 4623 approving the reapportionment along with a list of the described
properties.

Customer Service training
On Wednesday, September 14, from 8 a.m. until noon, all members of City Staff will
be participating in a customer service training program. This session will be the first
of a two part program that will enhance the skills of City employees when dealing with
all City customers. The second session will be conducted next Spring. This training
evolved as part of the Focus 2000 directive to improve city image and relations with
all its contacts. This is a great opportunity to rejuvenate the employees excitement in
serving the public.
Focus 2000 Steering Committee Meeting
The Focus 2000 Steering Committee will be meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday,
September 15. The last time this group met was just before the April Council/Staff
Strategic Planning Session. The Committee will review actions that have already
been implemented, those that are scheduled to be implemented next year and
discuss the future implementation of Focus 2000 action steps.
Proactive Streetlight Plan
NSP has been busy installing the ten streetlights as outlined in the streetlight
installation plan. For your review, the locations where lights have been or will be
installed before winter are: 1) Between 7664 and 7666 Woodlawn Drive. This is an
underground installation. 2) Between 7654 and 7650 Woodlawn Drive. This would be
an overhead installation. 3) Between 7626 and 7630 Woodlawn Drive. This would be
an underground installation. 4) 7610 Woodlawn Drive. This light would be attached
to existing pole. 5) 7618 Edgewood Drive. Attach to existing pole. 6) 7501 Bronson
Drive. This would be an underground installation from the pole to the east. 7) 2201
Hillview Road. This would be an underground installation. 8) 2109 Hillview Road.
Attach to existing pole. 9) Between 2091 and 2101 Hillview Road. 10) 5751 Quincy
St.
Also, to date, additional 1994 requests have been made for: Between 8331 and 8345
Red Oak Drive, between 5249 and 5255 Skiba Drive, 5076 Greenwood Drive, between
7250 and 7230 Silver Lake Road, 2925 Highway 10, between 5067 and 5061 Long
Lake Road and the County Road J/Airport Drive intersection. All of these requests
met the policy requirements and were listed on the Police Needs Assessments. They
all either have been or will be installed by Winter.
Light at County Road J and Airport Drive intersection
The installation of the light was delayed for a couple of weeks because of the trouble
getting the light standard (metal, breakaway pole) from MNDOT. I suppose the least
we can do is wait as long as we are getting it for free. The new completion date is by
the end of September.

Business Retention:
• Mark Malone, Samantha and I had a meeting with the Community Resource
Partnership representatives, Joseph Strauss, Sarah Nelson and Earl Nelson to
discuss the procedures for business retention interviews. Mark and I outlined
our dissatisfaction regarding an interviewer and the lack of knowledge the
interviewers have on the program and Mounds View. Specific concerns with
the particular interviewer will be addressed immediately and Earl will be having a
meeting with all interviewers next week where Samantha and I will give a brief
overview of Mounds View and our expectations of the program.
• I met with the manager of Perkins last week. He was generally satisfied with
Mounds View but would like to see the sign ordinance less restrictive. More
importantly, he was really glad to see a representative from the City visit the
restaurant. He would like to see more City employees and public officials in the
restaurant. Did you know that they now have a bakery with fresh muffins and
pies. Also, for those concerned with time, they offer a 10 minute lunch
guarantee on some menu items. If your meal is not delivered in 10 minutes you
get it free!
• This week I will be meeting with Dynex, Donatelle's and U.S. Geological.
Outreach:
• Several companies I have met with are interested in information regarding job
training programs available in Minnesota. I will be meeting with the Ramsey
County Job Training Center this week to learn about their programs and
specifically how companies can take advantage of their services.
Marketing:
• The Community Profile will be delivered to City Hall this Thursday or Friday. I
will be sure to put a copy in your out-box.

( PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY
PARKS:
* City Hall softball field was leveled this week. This field has a tendency to
become washboard-like after time and needs occasional leveling.
* Steve and Jeff have taken over the regular daily tasks of trash removal,
mowing, trimming, park inspections and athletic field preparations for softball,
soccer and football.
* We wish Steve a speedy and complete recovery from a lingering infection.
* Justin Bjur has completed his Eagle Scout project which was the removal of the
old MV planting on the berm at City Hall replacing it with sod. This berm is
used as a "bleacher" area for soccer spectators and the planter had become an
overgrown eyesore and attractive climbing nuisance for young spectators.
Justin did a great job. Steve Dazenski was the supervising staff member.
Steve has supervised many Eagle Scouts and spends much of his own time
meeting with the youth and their families and observing work being done on
weekends. Steve does a great job working with youth and the youth really
appreciate Steve's patience and helpfulness which is portrayed in letters of
thanks from the youths.
* In addition, Steve and Jeff supervised a youth JPTA worker this summer, a
Mounds View resident, who really enjoyed being a member of the Parks Crew.
This boy's father made a special point to stop by the Maintenance Garage and
express his thanks for the experience that Steve and Jeff provided for his son
Adam this summer as a member of the Parks crew.
RECREATION:
* Registrations for Fall activities are being taken. Flyers have been prepared and
are being distributed through the schools during this first week of school.
* Fall flag and touch football, soccer games and Fall softball league make up the
athletic activities to date. Volleyball, rollerblade hockey and basketball will fall
in line shortly.
•
* As co-convener for the Ramsey County Strategic Planning process (with the
Parks and Open Space group), I have attended and participated in two
meetings, with a third one planned for September 20, 1994. At this next
meeting I will be speaking to the group regarding cities'
cooperative/collaborative activities and partnerships.
CABLE TV:
* Jerry is obtaining price quotes for various equipment that can be applied in the
grant application which is due this week.
* In addition, Jerry is making copies of "Oliver" tapes which are in high demand.
GOLF COURSE:
* Mowing continues and increases as the grass germinates. The west end of the
course is well on its way and the east end is just beginning to germinate. Kurt
has opted to do some of the rough work along the side of the practice range
and mowing during the grow-in to save $5,000 in the base bid - which can be
used for additional fencing to be installed at the parking lot entry to provide
better security for the course.
* City resident Russ Ruzysnski has been offering his expertise in golf course
maintenance and has been assisting in carpentry work, golf course maintenance
and other activities. Russ is a "jack-of-all-trades" and has been a great asset at
the golf course. He had been working for many years at Hidden Haven Golf
Course but has made the move to the "Bridges" - to our benefit.
* The weather continues to be an asset. The course is growing in nicely. The
Clubhouse is on schedule. The tree replacements from the interceptor will be
planted during dormancy - by the Tree Trust. All goes well so far
Mary S.
FINANCE
• The 1993 legislature added MS 429.061, subd. 5 which allows Counties to
charge municipalities administrative expenses associated with the collection of
special assessments. Ramsey County will charge $2.50 per assessment per
parcel per year beginning in 1995. The estimated cost for the City is $1,370,
based upon 548 active assessments.
• An audit of 1994 - 1995 workers compensation premiums was recently
completed. The City will receive a refund of $1,367 as a result of the audit.
• Dorothy Peterson is busy preparing for the annual reading and inspection of
water meters. A few readers are still needed. If you know of a reliable
individual who may be interested, please contact Dorothy.

POLICE
* The kids are back in school they were getting somewhat
restless so were are glad that they now have something to do.
* Congratulations to Tom & Jody Kinney---They are the proud parents
of a 5 lb 12 oz baby girl born on 9-7-94. Mother and Daughter doing
fine.
* The Department will conduct a qualifying shooting exercise this
Friday at Spring Lake Park PD.
* The Chief will be attending a Ramsey Co. Chief's meeting on
Thursday.
* They laid the curbing on the Police lot on Tuesday. We are
anxiously awaiting any other signs of progress.
Tim R.
PUBLIC WORKS
* The Public Works staff will finish cleaning up storm damage, and chip all the
brush on Wednesday the 1st. The City of Circle Pines is lending us their
chipper. Mounds View's chipper would not handle this amount of brush, and
the diameter of many of the limbs.
* A technician from SEH will be out on Wednesday to inspect the underdrain
structure in the filter vessel at treatment plant #3. There are a couple of holes in
it where sand is escaping. We don't know exactly what caused this at this time.
* Advertisement for the new skidloader was placed last week, with a bid opening
scheduled for September 2, 1994 at 10:30. This is the annual replacement of
this unit made available through New Holland / Ford.
* Curb and gutter was laid on Pleasantview Drive last week. Staff met with
Ramsey County engineers, and local residents to discuss some of the necessary
slope adjustments. Most of the residents were understanding and cooperative.
The base course of asphalt is scheduled to be laid on Thursday (weather
permitting), then the landscaping will commence, followed by the wearing
course sometime in the first part of September. The Contractor is doing a great
job on this project.
* Staff is working on a joint bid with the City of Maplewood for a new backhoe.
This purchase is contingent upon the approval of the 1995 budget. It is hoped
that by purchasing with another city, we may both get a better deal.
* Curb and gutter should be poured for the police parking lot yet this week, if the
weather cooperates. As soon as this occurs, staff will proceed with the grading
of the ballfield and surrounding landscape.
* I'll be on vacation the week of September 5th and returning on the 12th. I will
be at home most of the time, or on the golf course, hopefully, if you need me.

COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT
SHERWOOD ESTATES PLAT
In July, Ken Sjodin approached the Council with a request for the development of a
group of land parcels in the area of Highway 10 and Spring Lake Road. At the time
the Council reviewed the request, Mr. Sj,din was in the process of reviewing the
wetland considerations with the Rice Creek Watershed District. He has now
completed that review process and is ready to again meet with the City Council. I
anticipate this item being discussed in depth at the October Work Session.
FALL CLEAN-UP DAY
Staff is in the process of organizing a fall clean-up day similar to the one held in
May. A meeting with representatives of the County regarding use of SCORE funds
to offset the costs of the clean-up is scheduled for next week. Staff will also be
discussing the use of those funds for an intern to handle the recycling.
Also, Staff will be meeting with Karl Bowman of ARCA Minnesota, Inc. to
coordinate an appliance pickup in conjunction with the clean-up day. ARCA
Minnesota is the company that conducted the appliance pickup last year.
