For the Week of October 3 - October 7, 1994 ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATION Interesting item. On Tuesday, October 4, we learned that Ramsey County is increasing our dispatching contract by $4,000. This is very much a last minute increase. The reason for this increase was never communicated to us prior to the notice given to us on Tuesday. I have spoken with Commissioner Wedell and did not sense that there would be any support from him on this last minute financial burden to the City. I have contacted New Brighton and Roseville, who also received substantial last minute increases. I don't know, at this point, if there is a great deal that we can do, but I intend to pursue all options including scheduling a meeting of Ramsey County Sheriff's Department personnel, County Board members of the affected cities and the managers of both Roseville and New Brighton. I will keep you posted. 1995 Proposed Budget Newsletter I have spent a great deal of time this week working on the Special Edition of the Newsletter which will focus on the proposed 1995 Budget. The Newsletter will be delivered next weekend, well in advance of the informational meeting on the 24th. Senior Center The date has been set for November 15 at 6:00 p.m. for the joint meeting of the cities of Mounds View, New Brighton, Fridley and Spring Lake Park to discuss the final numbers and to determine how the project will move forward. Please mark your alendars recognizing that the time may change. If it does, I will let you know well in advance! Wolf and Associates We will be meeting with Wolf and Associates soon to discuss the details of the sale of the land. However, in the interim, I have given them permission to store some of their equipment on the property. They have provided the City with an insurance policy naming us as an additional insured. We hope to bring a proposed purchase agreement to the Council within the next 2-3 weeks. Samantha Information Superhighway I attended a free informational seminar on Thursday morning entitled "Planning our Trip on the Information Superhighway". It was hosted by the University of Minnesota Academic Affairs/Computer and Information Technologies Office. The information presented has been available in the past, but it certainly confirmed everything that's been said about the future importance of being able to access city information from off-site locations to conduct city business. Some examples cited include scheduling building inspections, registering for recreation activities, retrieving notification and information on infrastructure schedules such as street repairs, paying administrative offenses and utility bills, and reviewing council agendas, resolutions, ordinances and the municipal code. One of the major barriers to implementing this technology is cost. To help defray some of these costs, the Intergovernmental Information Systems Advisory Council awards grants to innovative, beneficial ideas. One idea that may work for us is going to a paperless agenda by making laptop computers and modems available to City Council members which would allow access to the file server. This is an exciting time in the history of technology. There are numerous opportunities to make it easier and more efficient for citizens to conduct business with all organizations including government. Staff will continue to strive to make it possible for the City of Mounds View to obtain some of these technologies for the benefit of the residents and all customers of the City. Tim C. Business Retention: • This week I met with ViCom - Bakers Square. The company is the production and distribution center of Bakers Square products for the Midwest. The parent company is located out of Denver and also owns the Village Inns. They chose Mounds View because of the central location and the labor supply. Prior to locating in Mounds View they had operations in Burnsville and Hopkins. They have invested a lot of capital in their facility and are expected to be here for an indefinite time. When we asked what the one thing the City could do to make it more attractive for businesses, the response was to bring in a major hotel where conferences could be held -- of course they would want to supply the pies! • I will be meeting with Mounds View Antiques this week. I will be starting a new section in the newsletter called "Focus on Mounds View Businesses". Mounds View Antiques is a good place to start. Amilia at Mounds View Antiques is ecstatic about being featured. This is a good way to make our businesses feel special! Outreach: • I sent the Community Profile to all of those people who have commercial property for sale or lease in Mounds View plus other people at the State and NSP who do site selection. I also sent copies to TJB Homes and Birchwood Realty. • October is Manufacturers' Recognition Month and a Mounds View business will be highlighted by the Suburban Area Chamber of Commerce. Multi-Tech Systems will host a tour and the breakfast networking on October 12th at 8:00 am. I encourage the Mayor, Council Members and EDC Members to attend. If you are interested please let me know and I will RSVP for you. • To show our appreciation for the manufacturing businesses in Mounds View, will draft a letter from the Mayor and include an acknowledgment in the newsletter. Cathy • PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS: * We met with the sewer subcontractor on Wednesday to determine pathway to the park buildings, time line and procedures. Staff will notify neighborhood residents of the work to be done and the probability that the streets (Hillview and Fairchild) will be closed for 1-2 days. * There is a long list of projects to try to finalize before winter, but find it difficult to get to these until the grass stops growing and we can get off the mowers and into these smaller projects including - installation of two benches at Greenfield, replacement of hockey boards at Hillview, fountain set-up at Oakwood, repair of City Hall BBQ, completion of City Hall ballfield, spot seeding, etc. * We are happy to be able to set up a pleasure skating rink at Woodcrest Park. The neighborhood will really appreciate it. RECREATION: * Sharie will be setting up the financial budget brochure this week. Then she will jump right into the November/December Newsletter preparation. * The National Recreation and Parks Association Conference is being held here in Minneapolis, Minnesota this year, October 12 - 16. The last time it was here was in 1981 . Both Mary and I will be attending and Dana, our intern, will be volunteering so that she can also attend a few sessions for free. Mary has been working on a Conference Committee for this National. Because Sharie will be on the Washington D.C. trip during this time, we have Marcia Rosenberg, city resident, former Math teacher coming in to answer the phone and receive and log registrations in our absence. I will also be attending an Institute on Tuesday, October 11 . * We are putting together our November/December program of activities. This is a fun time to program because of all the special events and holidays. During this particular time we concentrate on family and special events rather than classes, because school vacations, school conferences and other school events make availability of the schools a little irregular. FORESTRY: * Rick and crew is working with Kurt at the golf course to stake placement of trees provided by the Tree Trust as a part of the replacement promised by the MWCC Interceptor Project. In addition, the trees that are to be planted at Greenfield Park as a result of the same project will be overseen by Rick. CABLE TV: * Jerry will be working the Budget Video during next couple of weeks. GOLF COURSE: * Kurt and I are presenting information on the Golf Course and Practice Range to the SLP/Blaine Rotary Club on Thursday. I will be giving them the background information and Kurt will give them the details on the course. We have slides and of course the maps and building renditions. * Kurt reseeded several greens and tees because the time is fleeting for germination. He is now waiting for a few days of warm weather to pop the seeds. * Kurt and Russ continue to mow the fairways and tees and greens as needed. The fairways are really looking great. Some of the tees and greens are taking a longer time than Kurt had hoped. Garrett and Paul assure us that sometimes that just take a bit longer - not to worry. * Kurt and I met Ann Forrest from Runyan/Vogel Architects on Tuesday to review the colors of the Clubhouse exterior. They look right-on. The interior colors were not available to test - but hopefully they will come in soon too. They are priming the walls now with painting to happen soon. The windows are in - and looking good! The clubhouse is very attractive. We have envisioned landscaping around the clubhouse, along with cart parking and entries and patio area - and it will be very nice. * The two big things yet to be done include the completion of the fencing and the asphalt path leading from the parking lot to the Clubhouse. * Kurt had a security alarm installed at the Maintenance Building. This alarm is audio but also for the first 6 months includes a trial call-in system to 3 numbers. Mary S. FINANCE * Kitty is still working on inputting the fixed assets into the new program. She is also getting prepared for the Health Open Enrollment coming up in November. Can you believe third quarter is over? * Don is working on the Special Newsletter on the Budget. * Mary is taking a couple of days of relaxation and will be visiting with relatives from far and near. * Meter readers are working hard, and we are receiving lots of calls to set up appointments for those who have not been home at the time the meter reader was there. * Dorothy has sent 48 24-hour shut off notices with the utility bills that were sent out Wednesday, October 5th. These are residents that have not responded at all to the bill mailed to them in July, or the Reminder Notice that was sent to them in September. She is also preparing 12 apartment accounts to be sent to our legal assistant for court processing. Kitty POLICE * On Saturday night, we had a huge party at 7901 Edgewwod Dr. It is estimated that over 200 people were in attendance. It's a long story, but five people were arrested and eight kegs of beer were confiscated. Two of our officers were slighty injured making the arrests. * Tim Brennan submitted a request to be transfered back to the patrol beginning the first of the year. I am asking for Patrol Officers interested in investigations to contact me before any decisions are made. * Tom Kinney is back to work after spending some time with new- born daughter, Taylor. * The new radars arrived late last week. Hopefully, the installation will begin this week. * The Chief met with Judge Clark (Ramsey Co. District Court) on Wednesday. Topics of discussion included: 36 hour rule,tape- recording suspects,Suburban Courts and week-certain court trials. * Mounds View Police hosted a meeting with officials from Ramsey Co., New Brighton and Roseville. The purpose of this meeting was to talk about consolidating record system. Alot of issues were raised, another meeting is schuduled for Monday. * The Chief will be out of town on Friday and also next Monday and Tuesday. * Kathy Bednar (this year's United Way cordindator) reported that over $1500.00 was donated. Mary Tatarek won the drawing a free day off. Tim R. PUBLIC WORKS * Gary Kardell and Tim Fredberg participated in the 4th Annual MSSA/MPWA Snow Roadeo this week. Wally, Larry, Tracy and myself worked on the course with judging and scoring. * Staff is meeting with Dan Schaat from Ramsey County regarding the Pinewood - County Road I storm sewer issue on Wednesday. * The final asphalt course is scheduled to be laid on Pleasant View Drive on Wednesday weather permitting. The project went very well, and will be completed well within the allotted time. The City will be responsible for the road after completion. * Tracy is back at work full time now. Everyone here is very glad to have her back. * Staff is preparing for the upcoming winter season. Salt quotes have been requested, and snow removal equipment is being inspected and repaired as needed. * Wally, Larry, Bill Hanggi, and Bill Hanson attended a locator seminar this week. * The irrigation system has been completed throughout the new ballfield and Police parking lot. Due to the cool weather expected the remainder of the season, staff will be dormant seeding this project in November. Final grade will be prepared as weather permits, and sod placed around sprinkler heads and edges of the curb and street. Mike COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEETING WITH DYNEX Staff met with Brian Sjoberg of Dynex Industries this week to discuss the possibility of Dynex moving forward with a facility expansion. In the late 1980's, Dynex was given City approval to construct their current facility. At that same time, a conceptual plan for the future expansion of that facility was given preliminary approval. Mr. Sjoberg indicated that it was the desire of Dynex to construct the facility expansion, utilize a portion for their needs and, lease the remainder of the facility to light manufacturing companies until the additional space is needed by Dynex. Even though Dynex does not currently need the entire area included in the expansion, they would construct the entire planned expansion as a cost saving measure. Staff will be providing Mr. Sjoberg with information on prevailing lease rates and demand for space in order to assist Dynex in determining the feasibility of the expansion plan. WOODLAWN TERRACE ISSUES This afternoon (Thursday), Staff met with a resident of Woodlawn Terrace regarding the amount of his NSP bill. That's right, it seems the City of Mounds View is now responsible for the rate structure at NSP. The resident wanted to know what the City could do to assist him in paying his bill. Staff told the resident that NSP does have different payment plans and that he should call them directly from now on with questions regarding his bill. Strange, but true. On the positive side, I look at this experience as more material for my memoirs. MINNESOTA STATE PLANNING CONFERENCE On Thursday and Friday of this week (October 6 & 7) I will be attending the annual Minnesota State Planning Conference at Breezy Point Resort in Brainerd.

Harrington further reported that the 42 project calls for the surfacing of approximately 90, 000 square feet 43 of currently unimproved property for use as parking and staging 44 area. Harrington also explained that the applicant would like to 45 add approximately 3500 square feet to the existing loading dock area 46 which would add 17 bays to the existing 34 currently available at 47 the facility. 48 49 Staff met with the City Engineer and according to a preliminary 50 review of the project and its storm water runoff impacts, the plan 51 provides for adequate storm water control and discharge from the 52 site.

Harrington further reported that staff had reviewed the 52 proposal and found that it met the general intent of the Municipal 53 Code, however, the possible need for storm water control ponding to 54 service the development needed to be addressed. UNAPPROVED 1 Mounds View City Council Page Five 2 Regular Meeting September 26, 1994 3 4 5 Harrington reported that staff had met with the Consulting Engineer 6 and it was his opinion that a sufficient ponding plan can be 7 established to handle the anticipated runoff. Harrington explained 8 that the Engineer had also informed the applicant that the Rice 9 Creek Watershed District needed to be contacted regarding a wetland 10 within the development which is on the National Wetland Inventory 11 (NWI) and that a RCWD permit would be required for approval of the 12 project. 13 14 Harrington further reported that the applicant has delineated the 15 referenced wetland to the satisfaction of the RCWD and has 16 resubmitted the Plat for consideration by the Council. Harrington 17 noted that the applicant is requesting that the City Council 18 consider taking action on the preliminary plat at tonight's meeting 19 and then the project would be more fully reviewed at the October 3rd 20 Work Session at which time the Consulting Engineer can be present to 21 discuss the storm water management issue with the final plat being 22 considered at the October 10, 1994 Council Meeting. 23 24 Harrington introduced John Wilzek, Comstock and Davis, who explained 25 where the proposed ponding would occur. There were three areas 26 being considered. Wilzek stated the developer was negotiating to 27 obtain property behind Outlot A. Mr. Wilzek also stated that soil 28 borings in close proximity to the gas station were taken and no 29 ground water contamination was found. 30 31 Many questions were addressed to staff and Mr. Wilcek regarding the 32 storm water drainage issues in the vicinity of the proposed plat. 33 It was suggested that this item be tabled for further discussion to 34 the October 3rd Work Session. 35 36 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Blanchard to Table the Consideration of 37 Preliminary Plat, Sherwood Estates to the October 3, 1994, Work 38 Session 39 40 VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 41 42 E.

In addition, the landscaping was too high, the block foundation too low and the crawl space at less than the minimum distance. These problems were identified by City Building Inspector Rick Jarson. At his recommendation, a price quote was requested and received from the carpenter who is contracting the improvements to both buildings at the present time. ' The quote is $10, 355 for replacement of the rotting wood, repair to areas, installation of a vapor barrier at both buildings and additional installation of exterior siding with painting and windows at Groveland Park building. This is an emergency situation. The work needs to be done in order to maintain the integrity of the buildings and for the continued maintenance and use of the buildings. The funding source identified is Park Improvement Funds of 1994. -1107 Mary Saarion r ector of Parks, Recreation and Forestry RECOMMENDATION; Approve the repair work that needs to be done at both Hillview and Groveland Park buildings at a cost of $10, 355 with the funding source being the 1994 Park Improvement Fund dedication.

'\ i Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) $UMMA1 Y; Staff is requesting, with the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission, approval to open Woodcrest Park ice skating rink activities this winter. The costs would be the hourly wage of a park attendant, an estimated cost of $2 , 348.50 for 427 hours from December 24 - February 12, 1995. The rink would be a small pleasure rink. Preparation would include the installation of lighting off the park building. The Park crew, with the use of the water truck for flooding purposes will be able to establish and maintain this additional, small pleasure rink. (Pleasure rinks take much less time than hockey rinks' because there is no need to shovel the boards, move boards and nets, etc. ) . Woodcrest Park has been without a rink for approximately 3 years. There have been requests from the neighborhood for skating facilities. Provision of a pleasure rink would serve the needs of those that live within the blocks from County Road H2 and County Road H, Long Lake Road to Silver Lake Road and perhaps further west depending upon ease of crossing Silver Lake Road. The Parks and Recreation Department is offering a new after school latch key program at the rinks (See information attached) . This program is being held in the park buildings, offering after school ice skating activities. It would be nice to be able to include Woodcrest Park in this program since it is the only location available to the children south of Highway 10. School District 621 is working out the bussing schedule to accommodate this program.

This is an after school program designed for children who would otherwise be home alone. Registration will require a form designating appropriate persons who will pick up the children and approximate pick-up times. The program will be held Mondays through Fridays from January 3 - February 10. Fee is $30. 00 including the cost of after school snacks such as juice and popcorn, cookies, fruit or other healthy and yummy treat.

A letter from Rocky Keehn is attached and defines the project background and proposed scope of work. The cost of the assessment work would not exceed $750. Mary Saario , D' a or of Parks, Recreation and Forestry JZECOMMENDATION; To approve the expenditure, not to exceed $750, transferring funds from contingency to Park Operations, 100- 4360-160 for an assessment on the permitting options and opportunities of installing a culvert at the storm water ditch at Silver View Park to be performed by SEH. • 06/22/94 14:08 FAX 612 490 2150 SEH ST.

One option that is being considered is a culvert and fill crossing of the ditch. This crossing may impact wetland located in the ditch and upstream of the proposed crossing. BACKGROUND An existing path has been created from Silver View Park to Silver View Road without benefit of a designed trail system. The pathway crosses a ditch which drains several acres of area north of the crossing. The ditch continues from the crossing south into Silver View Pond. The City has pursued a bridge crossing of the ditch. However, funding for the bridge was not obtained. A culvert crossing appears to be a cost effective alternative to the bridge. Stricter wetland regulation by the State make projects near or in wetlands more difficult to build. A preliminary investigation of the wetlands is required before a culvert crossing is engineered. Beside providing a crossing of the ditch, the culvert and berm may be used to create a water quality pond. A water quality pond in this location is consistent with the Local Water Management Plan's capital improvement program. A sediment pond in this location would help protect Silver View Pond. SCOPE OF WORK The following tasks will be performed to provide the City necessary information to determine if a culvert crossing is feasible: 1. Site Visit: A visit to the site will give a preliminary investigation on the extent of wetland that would be impacted by the project_ Both the impacts of the culvert crossing and resulting ponding and the ability to use the area as a sediment pond will be explored.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) UMMARY; Per council' s request, staff requested quotes for a bituminous path from the adult softball field at City Hall to Edgewood. This path would be 8 feet wide, 400 feet long, and constructed north of the berms along the Police driveway. It has been noted that numerous ball players do park on Bronson Drive and walk to the field via the tower/reservoir driveway. There is not a path to the field from here . It could be considered beneficial to construct an additional 200 foot path in this location also. Quotes obtained reflect price per lineal foot . Council also requested lighting of this path, from the ballfield to approximately the most westerly berm. In surveying the area it was noted that the street light at the intersection of Bronson and Edgewood, and the Police lot lighting should provide adequate light the remaining distance to Edgewood Drive. This system would be controlled with a time clock. Since these items are an addition to the original bid for the Police lot, both contractors were requested to quote a change order. Quotes on the above mentioned construction are as follows : 8 Foot Bituminous Path 400 ft 600 ft Bituminous Consulting $3 :980 $5, 970 Lighting of Pathway Bacon Electric $4 , 150 These two additions to the parking lot / ballfield construction were not budgeted in the original funding. Funding of the parking lot project was received from the Silver Lake Woods Account 649- 4120-990000, lighting from the Street Light Account 770-4121-703 .

Explanation/Summary (attach sup lement sheets as . cessary.) SUMMARY; On Friday October 7, 1994 the annual inspection and preseason tune - up of the Pubic Works Facility' s heating system was performed. Several wore or faulty components were discovered. .These parts are critical for safe and proper operation of the boiler. The boiler was red tagged and must not be utilized until repairs are completed and the unit is tested. An estimate for the repair of the old boiler is approximately $900 including labor. Warranty on the repair will only include the new parts installed and labor for one year. This boiler is the original heating unit installed in 1967,` it' s efficiency rating is not known but assumed very poor. An estimate has been received from the City' s HVAC service to replace the non-efficient boiler with an eighty percent efficient system for $3,500 . Warranty on this unit is two years from date of installation. This unit is a separate system from the rest of the garage . It is evident that the future energy audit would have produced the same results. Staff seeks Council direction as to the repair of the current boiler, or it' s replacement . 1�1 , ...4 Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works RECOMMENDATION;
