9 RESIDENTS REQ EST AND_OOMMETS FROM-THE-FLOOR:
10
11 Mayor Linke explained that this portion of the meeting was designated for
12 anyone who wished to speak to the Council on items that were not on the
13 Agenda.
14
15 Bill Siercks, 2210 Pinewood Drive, asked what the total cost of the pedestrian
16 bridge is estimated to be.
17
18 Mayor Linke explained that the city will be receiving a $480,000 grant and the
19 city's matching share will be $185,000.
20
21 Mr. Siercks said the architectural/engineering fees of approximately $65,000
22 were not disclosed as part of the city's portion when he inquired as to the
23 project costs over the telephone. He also asked various questions in regard
24 to snow removal, whether or not the costs for removing the drainage ponds
25 and the moving of the traffic signals, if necessary, were included in the
26 estimates, etc. He stated these were all questions that needed to be answered
27 and it was his understanding that the residents would be allowed to give their
28 input in regard to the proposed pedestrian bridge on November 29, 1995. He
29 understood that no decision would be made on this issue before then.
30
31 Mayor Linke explained that this would have been the case if the project were
32 included as a part of the 1996 budget. However, the city was able to fund
33 their portion from other sources, and therefore it was not necessary to present
34 the residents with an increase in their tax levy for 1996. Locating a funding
35 source for the project was the main concern. He felt very strongly that the
36 funds should not be used from future sources. The proposal he presented to
37 the rest of the council on November 13th was money that the city has in-hand
38 now.
39
40 Ms. Hankner stated she was not present at the November 13th meeting. She
41 feels this is a fundamental issue of trust. She was in attendance at the last
42 council work session and there was no discussion about putting this item on

November 27, 1995
Mounds View City Council
1 the agenda for consideration at the following Council meeting. She was
2 disappointed to hear after returning from a business trip that action had been
3 taken on this issue. She also understood that it would be discussed further at
4 the November 29th meeting. She did not have any idea that money would be
5 taken out of the 1995 budget to fund this project. This further raises
6 questions about the city's budget process. She is particularly concerned that
7 a decision was made on this issue without any notice to her.
8
9 Ms. Trude explained_that ounci!'s-lastworksession, they-had-agreed
10 that there would be a 0% tax levy increase for 1996. Since that decision was
11 made, she felt it would be inappropriate to discuss the pedestrian bridge issue
12 at the Truth in Taxation Meeting if it was not a part of the 1996 budget.
13
14 Mayor Linke explained that it was put on the agenda upon his request. He
15 was not comfortable with the four different funding proposals which were put
16 before him so he met with the City's Finance Department and was able to
17 come up with an alternate funding source, that being interest earned off of the
18 1994 and 1995 Special Project Funds. He contacted Samantha Orduno and
19 asked that this item be added to the agenda. He also spoke with the Auditors
20 who informed him that it was acceptable to use the funds toward this project.
21
22 Ms. Hankner stated at the last council work session the council members
23 agreed to a 0% levy increase. This was what she wanted all along. However,
24 her position on the issue was that if the pedestrian bridge were to be
25 approved, something would need to be taken out of the 1996 budget to allow it
26 in order to assure the 0% levy increase.
27
28 Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, stated he is very dismayed at the
29 attitude that anything other than the proposed tax levy for next year is not the
30 money of the citizens of the city. There is no excuse for going outside of the
31 proper process in making expenditures. There has never been a question
32 about the value of a pedestrian bridge, however he feels the public was cut out
33 of the entire process.
34
35 Mayor Linke stated he did not know what Mr. McCarty was referring to when
36 he said the public was cut out of the process. The public has been involved in
37 the decision since approximately April when the city first started talking about
38 it. There were many residents present at council meetings since then in
39 support of the bridge. The only time they opposed it was when the city was
40 considering putting it on the taxes.

Mounds View City Council
1 Mr. McCarty asked if people really expect that pedestrians directly across the
2 highway from their destination will walk a considerable distance just to use the
3 bridge. He wondered where the plan or specific study that was required to
4 determine whether or not this bridge was a good, usable amenity to the entire
5 community. The residents did not have an opportunity to ask the questions
6 they planned to on November 29th. He does not believe that the November
7 29th discussion date was only in the event that a tax levy would be required.
8 Furthermore, it his understanding that per Code 203.8, Subdivision 5, a 4/5
9 vote of approval is required to spend any money-out-of-the-Special Projee -
10 fund which the city does not have at this time as it was passed on a 3/1 vote.
11
12 Mayor Linke explained that he asked the Auditors about the proposed
13 expenditure of the funds for the pedestrian bridge and they assured him that
14 the interest portion could be used for this project.
15
16 Mr. McCarty suggested that the City Attorney be contacted about this issue, as
17 he believes the funds were committed without a 4/5 vote.
18
19 Pam Starr, 7778 Woodlawn Drive stated she would like to applaud the City
20 Council for finally making a decision that is looking at the safety of the children
21 in Mounds View. She does not know how anyone can be so short-sighted
22 that they can say Mounds View cannot afford the bridge when there are
23 children who need to cross the highway.
24
25 Jim Schmitt, 5446 Erickson Road, stated there has been public input on this
26 issue since April. At the meetings he has attended there has been a greater
27 number of residents in favor of the bridge than opposed to it. Furthermore, at
28 the Public Hearing on the issue of whether the city would use tax increment
29 financing , he heard four out of the five council members state two different
30 times that they were in favor of the bridge, they just had a disagreement on
31 taxes. He stated the city must find funding for a project such as this. He
32 has three children and is active in youth activities in the community. They use
33 the community as a whole and he feels access is a problem in the community.
34 The bridge will greatly improve this problem. He is happy that the decision
35 was made.
36
37 Ms. Hankner stated the council decided they would not increase the taxes for
38 purposes of funding the pedestrian bridge, but that they would still go ahead
39 with the grant and directed staff to go into the budget and try to determine
40 where funds could come from. At that time it was still in the context of the 1996
41 budget. For public purposes, the council let them know that it would be

1 discussed as a part of the 1996 budget on November 29th when they were to
2 hold the Public Hearing. It was still in the 1996 budget.
3
4 The residents did not have any notice that the council was going to take action
5 on this issue on November 13th. She feels the action was out of line with the
6 process.
7
8 Mayor Linke stated at the budget work session there was not any discussion
9 about keeping it in the 1996 budget and removing-anotheF it.
10
11 Ms. Hankner stated this has been her position from the beginning. No one
12 mentioned at the work session that it would be taken out of the 1995 budget or
13 that it would be discussed at the November 13th meeting.
14
15 Jim Schmitt, 5446 Erickson Road, stated he does not feel the council acted
16 inappropriately. They found resources that were not known beforehand to fund
17 the project.
18
19 Henry Ruggles, 2629 Lake Court Drive, stated he understood that the
20 pedestrian bridge was a "dead issue". This was a comment he heard made by
21 Mayor Linke after the last meeting on the bridge.
22
23 Mayor Linke stated he was only referring to the tax increase to help fund the
24 project. If he were unable to find another funding source, it would have been
25 a dead issue because he was not going to support putting it on the 1996
26 budget.
27
28 Mr. Ruggles stated theoretically, if the project funding had not been approved,
29 the residents may have been able to have a 3% decrease in their taxes for
30 1996.
31
32 MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Blanchard to direct staff to get a get an opinion
33 from the City Attorney on the 4/5 approval requirement for the use of the
34 interest of the Special Project Funds.

37
38 Ms. Hankner stated she would like this information available at the November
39 29th hearing if possible.
40
41 An unidentified resident asked if there are cost overruns on the bridge, will the
42 State increase their share or will the city be responsible for the additional costs.

7 Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, stated he also would like to obtain the

10 the council on the legal requirements of the Long Term Financial Plan and how
11 it intertwines with the budget through the Charter Requirements, and therefore
12 be subject to the Truth in Taxation hearing laws. The bridge was originally
13 set up in the 1997 budget in the Long Term Financial Plans, and therefore the
14 council will also need to amend the ATLP. He would like to obtain this
15 information by the November 29th hearing. He stated he feels everyone at
16 the meeting wants to unite Mounds View and make it safe for their children and
17 citizens but they want to be part of the process.

19 PUBLIC HEARINGS:
20
21 a. To Consider Request for Conditional Use Permit - North Star Land Services.
22
23 Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m.
24
25 Mr. Paul Harrington, Interim City Administrator, explained that North Star Land
26 Services, who represent U S West, has made an application for a Conditional
27 Use Permit to allow for the construction of an enclosure to house fiber fed
28 telecommunication services. This request is for property located at 2280
29 Highway 10. The actual location of the structure would be a 20 X 20
30 easement, fronting on Wooddale Drive. The enclosure would be approximately
31 6 X 9 feet.
32
33 Mr. Harrington noted that in the Spring of 1995, a similar request was granted
34 on the Multi-Tech property at 2205 Wooddale for the business park north. This
35 one would service the buildings on the south side of the business park.
36
37 Wallace Steiner, 5220 O'Connell, stated he purchased his property about two
38 years ago and he was not aware of this.
39
40 Mr. Harrington stated the building will be located on a 20 X 20 foot easement.
41 U S West has approached the property owner themselves and requested the

12
13 Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 7:55 p.m. to Consider a Request for
14 a Conditional Use Permit for Richard and Julie Oliverius, 8426 Groveland Road.
15
16 Paul Harrington explained that Richard and Julie Oliverius made an application
17 for a Conditional Use Permit to establish a Residential Dog Kennel on their
18 property at 8426 Groveland Road. Residential dog or cat kennels are allowed
19 in an R-1, single family zone district. They are only allowed to have up to four
20 dogs or cats (over six months of age - puppies under 6 months are not
21 included in that total). The applicant was required to obtain approach
22 property owners within 500 feet of his property with a petition outlining his
23 proposal, which he has done. Approximately 85% of those approached
24 signed the petition saying they were not in opposition to the request (50% is
25 required). Mr. Harrington noted that there are conditions on the resolution, in
26 specific, that after a period of one year, the Conditional Use Permit is subject to
27 a review.
28
29 Ms. Blanchard stated she recalled that the Council turned down a request for a
30 kennel in that neighborhood in the Spring of 1995.
31
32 Mayor Linke stated this was a different property, and it was turned down as the
33 applicant was unable to obtain signatures of residents in the area as required.
34
35 Ms. Trude asked if Mr. Oliverius intends to breed dogs.
36
37 Mr. Oliverius stated he does not plan to have any more litters. He wanted to
38 keep a couple of the pups to get started in training.
39
40 Ms. Trude stated another concern voiced by a resident was whether or not
41 someone would be home during the day to notify if there were a problem with
42 dogs barking.

3 in the event there is a complaint.

5 Ms. Trude stated some of the residents who spoke with her in regard to this
6 request stated they were comfortable knowing there was a one-year review

15
16 Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 8:04 p.m. to Consider a Request for
17 a Conditional Use Permit for Brian Daniels, 7280 Silver Lake Road.
18
19 Mr. Harrington explained that Mr. Daniels has made an application for a
20 Conditional Use Permit for an oversized garage on his property at 7280 Silver
21 Lake Road. The garage which has already been constructed, totals 1,248
22 square feet. The Mounds View Municipal Code allows garages up to 1,264
23 square feet with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. When an accessory
24 building exceeds 1,000 square feet, no other buildings are allowed on the
25 property other than the principal structure. Mr. Daniels does have a small 100
26 square foot building on his property which he has agreed to remove. (This
27 requirement is stated on Resolution No. 4851, and requires a $1,000 escrow to
28 insure that it is removed from the property).
29
30 Mayor Linke closed the Public Hearing at 8:06 p.m.

37 Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 8:06 p.m., to Consider a Request for
38 a Rezoning of A Portion of the Property Located at 2801/2809 Bronson Drive.
39
40 Mr. Harrington explained that Larry Beach has made an application for the
41 rezoning of a portion of the property located at 2801/2809 Bronson Drive. He
42 would like to rezone the properties from R-1, Single Family Residential to R-2,
Page 10 \ /hi_ I fU
November 27, 1995
Mounds View City Council
1 Single and Two-Family Residential. The request will allow the construction of
2 twin homes on the property. The current properties front Bronson Drive and
3 have single family homes on them. The single family homes would remain that
4 are fronting along Bronson Drive, but the back 225 feet of those lots would be
5 included in the rezoning. The twin homes would front on Silver Lake Road.
6 Mr. Beach has already constructed two twin home sets just north of this
7 property along Silver Lake Road.
8 This request is subject to criteria spelled out in the Municipal Code regarding
9 rezoning.
10
11 Ms. Blanchard stated she received a telephone call in regard to this request,
12 asking if the property would be rental property.
13
14 Mr. Harrington stated the properties in the building that Mr. Beach has already
15 constructed have sold for a minimum of $165,000 per unit which likely would
16 not support a rental type set up.
17
18 Mary Bisbee, 2816 Bronson Drive presented a signed petition from residents in
19 the neighborhood who are opposed to the division of the lots and the
20 construction of twin homes. They wish to have the property remain zoned
21 single family residential. By changing the zoning, it changes the whole
22 atmosphere of the area. She stated when she looks at the property she sees
23 the potential for more homes to be put there in the future.
24
25 Ms. Trude stated the appearance of the buildings is much like single family
26 homes. She stated the Planning Commission has been pleased with the
27 enhancements that Mr. Beach has brought to the city along silver lake road
28 and over by Messiah Lutheran Church. She also understands that there is a
29 real desire for this type of housing in the area.
30
31 Mr. Harrington explained that the city's code requires that twin homes that are
32 constructed each have a minimum frontage of 50 feet. Mr. Beach is proposing
33 two buildings which would require a minimum of 200 feet. He is proposing to
34 rezone 225 feet. Code restrictions would limit the number of buildings that

37 Ms. Bisbee stated another concern of the neighborhood is the increase in
38 traffic.

40 Mr. Harrington explained that traffic will enter and exit the buildings on Silver
41 Lake Road, so traffic should not have much of an impact on the area.

Mounds View City Council
1 Mr. Beach stated the twin homes he proposes to build will appeal mostly to
2 empty nesters and retirees. He feels this is the best type of land use for the
3 property.
4
5 Dan Hill, 2808 Bronson Drive, stated his concern is in the degradation of the lot
6 sizes. The existing properties are deep lots which have been particularly
7 attractive to residents. He was concerned what would happen to the values of
8 those properties where the lots are basically cut in half.
9
10 Mayor Linke explained that in comparison to other lots in Mounds View, they
11 still will be larger than most.
12
13 Mr. Hill also asked what assurance the residents will have that the properties
14 do not become rental units in the future.
15
16 Mayor Linke explained that the city does not have control over that.
17
18 Another unidentified resident stated he has been told that the property directly
19 across from Mr. Hill has been sold. He wondered if Mr. Beach intends to put
20 in a cul-de-sac there.
21
22 Mayor Linke explained that any proposals such as that would need to be
23 approved by the city.
24
25 Mr. Beach stated he has put a down payment on the property but it has not
26 been closed on. He intends to fix the property up and then sell it. He does
27 not intend to keep it as rental property.
28
29 Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 8:20 p.m.
30
31 Mayor Linke explained that this public hearing was to introduce the ordinance.
32 The city must then wait at least 14 days before they can ask for the adoption of
33 the ordinance. There is then a 30 day waiting period before that action
34 becomes law.
35
36 Ms. Hankner noted that the real issue is that this proposal fits within the city's
37 Comprehensive Plan.

Mounds View City Council
1 Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 8:23 p.m. to Consider a Request for
2 Wetland Alteration Permit for Sherri Ruf, Representing Louis Downing.
3
4 Mr. Harrington stated in the fall of 1994, Sherri Ruf, representing her father
5 Louis Downing requested a Wetland Alteration Permit which would allow
6 construction of a single family home on the property which is located at the
7 intersection of Longview and Wooddale Drive. The applicant was required at
8 that time to have a Wetland Delineation performed on the property in order to
9 determine th wetlan was-or he-_property Ms Rtr
10 completed this and presented two different proposals for developing the
11 property as single family housing. Mr. Harrington provided diagrams of the
12 two different proposals, noting that Rocky Keehn has reviewed both and feels
13 that proposal number 2 would involve the least amount of disturbance to the
14 wetland area. The delineation has also been submitted to the Rice Creek
15 Watershed District who approved it and of the plan to construct the home.
16 This proposal involves a mitigation of the wetland on the property.
17
18 Mr. Keehn provided a brief overview of what his findings were. He noted that
19 a natural strip would be required between the lawn and the wetland.
20
21 Mr. Allen Sheldon, 5143 Red Oak Drive, stated he owns property near the site
22 and has some concern as to flooding problems he may experience as his
23 property is not much higher. He also was concerned that the changes could
24 create a mosquito habitat which could cause a nuisance for him (he referred to
25 a section of the MN Statutes which he felt was applicable to this case).
26
27 Mayor Linke stated he did not know what the entire statute reads, but did not
28 feel it would pertained to wetlands, but rather referred to property with standing
29 water which would encourage a mosquito habitat.
30
31 David Tillman, 5166 Longview Drive stated his only question is whether or not
32 the city should allow constant building in buffer zones that they have created
33 and what the actual purpose of a buffer zone is.
34
35 Mr. Harrington explained that the city has had situations where the buffer zones
36 have greatly influenced proposals by the developer not being able to provide
37 the necessary improvements to the wetlands that are required.
38
39 Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 8:55 p.m.

41 Ms. Trude noted that she had a resident talk to her about Woodcrest Park.

33 Mayor Linke stated he noticed that when MNDOT came through with proposals
34 for toll roads, all of 610/118 is being proposed as a toll road which he feels
35 defeats the entire purpose of having it. If people have Highway 10 to travel
36 rather than use the toll road, they will likely do it. He would like to request
37 that council direct staff to prepare a resolution for the December 11 meeting in
38 opposition to making 610/118 a toll road because it will adversely affect the
39 City of Mounds View.

- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summary (attachsupplement sheets_as_necessary.)
SUMMARY;
Step two of the Livable Communities Act (LCA) is to establish housing goals for 1996. The form
included was created by the Metropolitan Council. It is not specific to any city; rather, it reflects
the overall goals of the LCA. Gordon Backlund of the Met Council stated that since we meet or
exceed all of the requirements, this standard form is sufficient for our housing goals. Our overall
goal is to maintain or increase the value of our housing stock.
The next step for the Livable Communities Act is to complete the Housing Action Plan by June of
1996. In January, the Met Council will be holding several seminars on how to draft a copy of the
action plan and discuss information required to be included. .

UMMARY;
Traditionally, the majority of the fire service in the United States
combated fire through suppression efforts only. This has been a losing
battle in terms of saving lives and property proven out by the worst
fire statistics in the industrialized world. Other nations have been
extremely successful in combating fire through prevention. Numerous
examples exist worldwide, here in the United States and also in the
State of Minnesota. For example, the City of Chicago has more fire
deaths than the entire country of Austria. St. Paul Fire adopted a
program in 1988 that reduced their annual fire deaths for children under
the age of 5 from 2 .8 per year to zero.
This department is committed to combating the , fire problem equally
through prevention and suppression. Prevention occurs in two forms; on
the industrial/commercial side it requires adoption of sprinkler codes
coupled with strong enforcement and inspection of fire codes. For
residential structures, prevention occurs in the form of public fire
education. This entails, among other things, school programs, senior
programs, cable programming, newspaper articles, mall events, high risk
programs such as mobile home parks, and neighborhood floods to name a
few.
•
The resolution before ,you would support this department's efforts to
obtain legislation allowing us to recruit volunteer firefighters to
perform these prevention functions. Presently, there is a state-wide
system operated on a local level that enables departments to compensate
suppression volunteers with a pension after vested years of service.
This had proven to be extremely effective in retaining volunteers. The
legislation this department is seeking is permissive to this department
and the communities we serve, allowing us to place these prevention
volunteers into the pension program. While the City has a required
municipal contribution to this plan, long term goals include the ability
to reduce the number of personnel as needs subside thereby reducing the
required contribution.
JZECOMMENDATIO�T; N e Zikmund, ire Chief
By doing this, the fire department will be able to advertise
these prevention positions with compensation benefits allowing me
a larger recruiting pool from which to draw and a proven ability
to retain these individuals after we invest training dollars into
them.
Long term benefits include a reduction in the occurrence of
severe fights which translates to less injuries and deaths for
both civilians and firefighters. Less property damage would also
be a direct benefit as well as an ability to maintain or possibly
even reduce suppression costs. This action has already been
taken in the capital budget where a full 33% was cut in the form
of less equipment in anticipation of reduced need.
Alice Johnson will be the House author of the bill, Jane Krentz
will be the Senate author. This proposal is supported by the
League of Cities, the State Fire Marshall, Ramsey County Chiefs
and Tri-Date Corporation which is the Nation's expert on fire
prevention.

WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota's fire problem and the
Community of Mounds View's fire problem are similar in nature to
the national problem; and
WHEREAS, the leading of cause of accidental death for

WHEREAS, proof exists throughout the World, Nation, State
and selected Minnesota Cities that FIRE PREVENTION CAN AND DOES

danger to all emergency responders; and
WHEREAS, the City of Spring Lake Park experienced a fire
death in 1994 and the City of Mounds View has experienced fire
deaths in its history; and
WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View is committed to combating

FUMMARY;
At the November 27, 1995 City Council meeting, Ordinance No. 569 rezoning
a portion of Lots 10 and 11 Spring Lake Park Knolls Addition was
formally introduced by the Council. The Ordinance, if adopted, would
rezone the property from R-1, Single Family to R-2, Single and Two
Family Residential.
For review:
Larry Beach has made application for a Rezoning of a portion of the
property located at 2801/2809 Bronson Drive (please see attached map) .
Specifically, the applicant is requesting that the northernmost 225 feet
of Lots 10 and 11 of Spring Lake Park Knolls `Addition be rezoned from
its current designation of R-1, Single Family Residential, to R-2,
Single and Two Family Residential. The request, if approved, would
allow the development of the property as owner-occupied twinhomes. The
remaining portions of the two lots would stay R-1.

STAFF REPORT
PAGE TWO
DECEMBER 11, 1995
Chapter 1125. 01 Subdivision 1 (e) of the Mounds View Municipal
Code identifies those factors upon which the City Council should
base its decision relative to any rezoning request. Those
factors, and an analysis of their relevance, are as follows:
1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan in its current form identifies these
parcels as low density residential. The R-2 zoning
classification falls within the parameters of low density
and would therefore be consistent with the direction of the
Plan.
2) Geographical area involved
The parcels are bounded on the South and East sides by
Bronson Drive and Silver Lake Road. To the North is
additional R-2 property and, to the West is Single Family.
3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate
the area in which it is proposed
The applicant has constructed similar twinhomes immediately
north of the proposed rezoning location. The values of
those properties (in excess of $160, 000 per unit) leads to a
positive impact on the area. In addition, the relatively
high cost of the units discourages the opportunity for the
properties to become rentals.
4) The character of the surrounding area
The overall land use in the vicinity of the subject property
is overwhelmingly residential in nature.
5) The demonstrated need for such use
Staff has received a number of positive comments regarding
the quality of the structures the applicant has put up in
other areas of the community. The need for low maintenance,
quality owner occupied housing has been an issue Staff has
heard from a number of residents in the past. The target
market for the units is seniors who no longer desire to
maintain a large lot.
The Ordinance is provided at this time for consideration of final
adoption.

Position Profile
The Community
The City of Mounds View offers a quiet home town atmosphere within a short distance
of the hustle and bustle of the Twin Cities. Awarded the distinction of "Tree City
U.S.A." for the past dozen years, the beauty of Mounds View is enhanced by the large
oak trees and mixed green canopy of many varieties of trees to be found throughout the
City. The community is located in northern Ramsey County approximately eight miles
north of St. Paul and encompasses an area of approximately 4.25 square miles. Over
the past 25 years the City has experienced moderate growth and has a current
population of 13,000.
Long known as a bedroom community, Mounds View is approximately 95% developed
with the majority of land used for single family housing. There are over 150
businesses located in Mounds View, mainly in four commercial and industrial park
locations. The City's major employers include Sysco, a food products manufacturer
with 470 employees; Multi-Tech Systems, Inc., a computer electronics firm with 360
employees; and the Mermaid Supper Club with over 100 employees. Other prominent
businesses include Tyson Company, Liberty Check Printers, Hyman Freightways, and
Bauer Welding and Metal Fabrication.
HISTORY
The Township of Mounds View was established in Ramsey County on May 11, 1858,
the same day Minnesota became a state. Early residents were loggers, mill hands,
trappers, and farmers. In the northwest corner of the township rose hills of sand and
gravel high enough to be seen throughout the township and from much of Anoka
County. Today, the mounds that gave the town its name are nearly gone due to natural
erosion and the thousands of loads of sand and gravel that were removed to support a
small arms arsenal during World War II. The population of Mounds View remained
stable until the late 1930's when developers realized the possibilities for suburban
housing. By the 1950's the township began to change as large portions of land were
annexed to surrounding communities. Over 6,000 acres were released to form the
Village of Arden Hills. In 1958 Mounds View Township became a village and, under
State legislation, became the City of Mounds View in 1973.
SCHOOLS
Independent School District #621 encompasses the Cities of Mounds View, Shoreview,
Arden Hills, New Brighton, and portions of Vadnais Heights and Roseville.
Approximately 11,000 students are enrolled in the district which is comprised of two
high schools, three middle schools, and eight elementary schools. Schools within
Mounds View include two elementary schools, a middle school, and a senior high
school. In addition, a number of parochial schools serving grades K-12 are located in
and around the City of Mounds View. The School District has won numerous state
and national awards for both academia and teacher quality. Irondale High School in
Mounds View was awarded the "Blue Ribbon School of Excellence" in 1993 by the
US Secretary of-Education. er leges and universities and 50 nical and
business schools are located within 10-15 miles of Mounds View and over 80% of the
City's high school graduates attend post-secondary education.
PARKS AND RECREATION/COMMUNITY EVENTS
There are nine parks in the City of Mounds View offering residents and visitors a
diverse array of recreation facilities. The Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department
is in charge of year-round recreational programming and activities including youth and
adult athletics, swimming and gymnastic instruction, senior adult activities, afterschool
programming, pre-school activities, and special interest classes. Partnerships with
three area schools provide additional athletic fields and playgrounds to serve the
community.
"The Bridges" Golf Course held its grand opening in the spring of 1995 as an executive
length 32 par course with a 43 station practice range. The nine hole course features a
series of bridges spanning both water and beautiful natural wetland areas. The practice
range is designed with sand traps and distance targets to simulate course strokes.
Each year the City of Mounds View celebrates Festival in the Park. The summer event
is planned by residents organizations, businesses, churches, and schools. Activities
include a parade, musical entertainment, children's games, a craft fair, athletic

caliber musical production each year.

proceeding in.accordance with the Contract Documents and ENGINEER shall keep OWNER informed of the
progress of the work. The responsibilities of ENGINEER contained in this paragraph are expressly subject to the
limitations set forth in the next paragraph and other express or general limitations in this Agreement and elsewhere.
2.2.1.2 The purpose of ENGINEER's visits to the site will be to enable ENGINEER to better carry out the duties
and responsibilities assigned to and undertaken by ENGINEER during the Construction Phase, and, in addition, by
the exercise of ENGINEER's efforts as an experienced and qualified design professional, to provide for OWNER a
MOUNDSV.JH Rev. November 21, 1995
Page 3
greater degree of confidence that the completed work of Contractor will conform in general to the Contract
Documents and that the integrity of the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated
in the Contract Documents has been implemented and preserved by Contractor. On the other hand, ENGINEER
shall not, during such visits or as a result of such observations of Contractor's work in progress, supervise, direct or
have control over Contractor's work nor shall ENGINEER have authority over or responsibility for the means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction selected by Contractor, for safety precautions and
programs incident to the work of Contractor or for any failure of Contractor to comply with laws, rules, regulations,
ordinances, codes or orders applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the work. Accordingly,
ENGINEER neither guarantees the performance of any Contractor nor assumes responsibility for any Contractor's
failure to furnish and perform its work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
2.3 Defective Work. During such visits and on the basis of such observations, ENGINEER shall have authority to
disapprove of or reject Contractor's work while it is in progress if ENGINEER believes that such work will not produce a
completed Project that conforms generally to the Contract Documents or that it will prejudice the integrity of the design
concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole as indicated in the Contract Documents.
2.4 Clarifications and Interpretations;Fled Or ers. ENGINEER shll-issue necessary clarifications and-interpretations
of the Contract Documents as appropriate to the orderly completion of the work. Such clarifications and interpretations will
be consistent with the intent of and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents. ENGINEER may issue Field Orders
authorizing minor variations from the requirements of the Contract Documents.
2.5 Change Orders and Work Change Directives. ENGINEER shall recommend Change Orders and Work Change
Directives to OWNER as appropriate, and shall prepare Change Orders and Work Change Directives as required.
2.6 Shop Drawings. ENGINEER shall review and approve (or take other appropriate action in respect of) Shop
Drawings and Samples and other data which Contractor is required to submit, but only for conformance with the information
given in the Contract Documents and compatibility with the design concept of the completed Project as a functioning whole
as indicated in the Contract Documents. Such reviews and approvals or other action will not extend to means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures of construction or to safety precautions and programs incident thereto.
2.7 Substitutes. ENGINEER shall evaluate and determine the acceptability of substitute or "or-equal" materials and
equipment proposed by Contractor.
2.8 Inspections and Tests. ENGINEER may require special inspections or tests of the work, and shall receive and
review all certificates of inspections, tests and approvals required by laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, codes, orders or the
Contract Documents. ENGINEER's review of such certificates will be for the purpose of determining that the results
certified indicate compliance with the Contract Documents and will not constitute an independent evaluation that the content
or procedures of such inspections, tests or approvals comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents. ENGINEER
shall be entitled to rely on the results of such tests.
2.9 Disagreements between OWNER and Contractor. ENGINEER shall render the initial decisions on all claims of
OWNER and Contractor relating to the acceptability of the work or the interpretation of the requirements of the Contract
Documents pertaining to the execution and progress of the work. In rendering such decisions, ENGINEER shall be fair and
not show partiality to OWNER or Contractor and shall not be liable in connection with any decision rendered in good faith in
such capacity.
2.10 Applications for Payment. Based on ENGINEER's on-site observations as an experienced and qualified design
professional and on review of Applications for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules:
2.10.1 ENGINEER shall determine the amounts that ENGINEER recommends Contractor be paid. Such
recommendations of payment will be in writing and will constitute ENGINEER's representation to OWNER, based
on such observations and review, that, to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge, information and belief, the work has
progressed to the point indicated, the quality of such work is generally in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of such work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the
results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents and to any other qualifications stated in the
recommendation), and the conditions precedent to Contractor's being entitled to such payment appear to have been
fulfilled in so far as it is ENGINEER's responsibility to observe the work. In the case of unit price work,
ENGINEER's recommendations of payment will include final determinations of quantities and classifications of
such work (subject to any subsequent adjustments allowed by the Contract Documents). The responsibilities of
ENGINEER contained in this paragraph are expressly subject to the limitations set forth in the next paragraph and
other express or general limitations in this Agreement and elsewhere.
MOUNDSV.JH Rev. November 21, 1995
Page 4
2.10.2 By recommending any payment ENGINEER shall not thereby be deemed to have represented that on-site
observations made by ENGINEER to check the quality or quantity of Contractor's work as it is performed and
furnished have been exhaustive, extended to every aspect of the work in progress, or involved detailed inspections
of the work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in this Agreement and the Contract
Documents. Neither ENGINEER's review of Contractor's work for the purposes of recommending payments nor
ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment(including final payment) will impose on ENGINEER responsibility
to supervise, direct or control such work or for the means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of
construction or safety precautions or programs incident thereto, or Contractor's compliance with laws, rules,
regulations, ordinances, codes or orders applicable to Contractor's furnishing and performing the work. It will also
not impose responsibility on ENGINEER to make any examination to ascertain how or for what purposes
Contractor has used the monies paid on account of the Contract Price, or to determine that title to any of the work,
materials or equipment has passed to OWNER free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests or
encumbrances, or that there may not be other matters at issue between OWNER and Contractor that might affect the
amount that should be paid.
2.11 Contractor's Completion Documents. ENGINEER shall receive, review and transmit to owner with written
comments maintenance and operating instructions, schedules, guarantees, Bonds, certificates or other evidence of insurance
required by the Contract Documents, certificates of inspection, tests and approvals, and marked-up record documents
(including Shop Drawings, Samples and other data and marked-up record Drawings) which are to be assembled by Contractor
in accordance with the Contract Documents to obtain final payment. ENGINEER's review of such documents will only be to
determine generally that their content complies with the requirements of, and in the case of certificates of inspections, tests
and approvals that the results certified indicate compliance with, the Contract Documents.
2.12 Substantial Completion. Following notice from Contractor that Contractor considers the entire work ready for its
intended use, ENGINEER and OWNER, accompanied by Contractor, shall conduct an inspection to determine if the work is
substantially complete. If after considering any objections of OWNER, ENGINEER considers the work substantially
complete, ENGINEER shall deliver a certificate of Substantial Completion to OWNER and Contractor.
2.13 Final Notice of Acceptability of the Work. ENGINEER shall conduct a final inspection to determine if the
completed work of Contractor is acceptable so that ENGINEER may recommend, in writing, final payment to Contractor.
Accompanying the recommendation for final payment, ENGINEER shall also provide a notice in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C (the "Notice of Acceptability of Work") that the work is acceptable to the best of ENGINEER's knowledge,
information and belief and based on the extent of the services performed and furnished by ENGINEER under this Agreement.
2.14 Limitation of Responsibilities. ENGINEER shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of any Contractor, or
of any subcontractor, any supplier, or of any other person or organization performing or furnishing any of the work.
ENGINEER shall not be responsible for Contractor's failure to perform or furnish the work in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
SECTION 3 - ADDITIONAL SERVICES OF ENGINEER
3.1 Additional Services Requiring Authorization in Advance
If authorized in writing by OWNER, ENGINEER shall furnish or obtain from others Additional Services not included in
Exhibit A for compensation to be negotiated between the parties.
SECTION 4- OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Except as otherwise provided in Exhibit A, OWNER shall do the following in a timely manner so as not to delay the services
of ENGINEER and shall bear all costs incident thereto:
4.1 OWNER's representative with respect to the services to be performed or furnished by ENGINEER under this
Agreement is hereby designated as Mary Saarion. Said person will have complete authority to transmit instructions, receive
information, interpret and define OWNER's policies and decisions with respect to ENGINEER's services for the Project.
4.2 OWNER agrees to provide ENGINEER with all known information, conditions, standards, criteria and objectives
which affect the services, and ENGINEER shall be able to rely on the accuracy of such information.
4.3 OWNER agrees to provide ENGINEER with access to the site, if necessary to complete ENGINEER's services.
MOUNDSV.JH Rev. November 21, 1995
Page 5
4.4 OWNER will examine all studies, reports, sketches, drafts or other documents prepared by ENGINEER for
OWNER's review in a timely manner, and generally render decisions and provide information in such a manner as to prevent
delay of the services.
4.5 OWNER shall be responsible for informing ENGINEER of the presence of any hazardous or potentially hazardous
materials on the site. Under no circumstances shall ENGINEER be responsible for the release, handling, treatment, storage or
disposal of hazardous materials, and OWNER shall indemnify ENGINEER for any claims related to the services that may
arise out of the presence of hazardous materials.
4.6 ENGINEER is to provide subsurface services by a geotechnical subcontractor for the Project and the following
terms apply to both ENGINEER and said subcontractor:
4.6.1 It is necessary that borings, excavations and other penetrations be located such that they maintain a
minimum safe distance from underground utilities or other man-made improvements. OWNER shall advise
ENGINEER of all utilities that service or are located on the site, as well as any underground improvements located
on the site. ENGINEER will contact state notification centers, where available, or individual utility owners where a
state notification center is not available, prior to drilling.
4.6.2 Public utility owners may not provide the locating service on private property. In such.situations,
OWNER is responsible for location of such utilities prior to drilling.
4.6.3 The property owner may have private underground improvements which cannot be cleared through the
state notification center or public utility owners. The OWNER is responsible for location of these improvements.
4.6.4 ENGINEER will not be responsible for any damages to "non-located" or incorrectly located underground
utilities or other man-made improvements.
4.6.5 OWNER acknowledges and accepts that unavoidable contamination risks may be associated with
ENGINEER's subsurface drilling, sampling and installation of monitoring devices. Risks include, but are not
limited to, cross contamination created by linking contaminated zones to uncontaminated zones during the drilling
process; containment and proper disposal of known or suspected hazardous materials, drill cuttings and drill fluids;
and decontamination of equipment and disposal and replacement of contaminated consumables. OWNER and
ENGINEER agree that the discovery of unanticipated actual or suspected hazardous materials may make it
necessary for ENGINEER to take immediate measures to protect human health and safety, and/or the environment.
OWNER and ENGINEER also agree that the discovery of such materials constitutes a changed condition which
may result in added costs to OWNER, and may require a renegotiation of work scope or termination of services.
4.6.6 OWNER agrees to hold harmless and indemnify ENGINEER from and against liability associated with
contamination.
4.6.7 Equipment lost in bore holes may be required to be retrieved or properly abandoned by government
agencies. OWNER agrees to pay ENGINEER all costs related to retrieving and/or abandoning such equipment at
ENGINEER's prices, unless agreed otherwise.
4.6.8 OWNER recognizes that unavoidable risks occur whenever engineering or related disciplines are applied
to identify subsurface conditions. Even a comprehensive sampling and testing program performed in accordance
with a professional standard of care may fail to detect certain conditions, because they are hidden. For similar
reasons, actual environmental, geologic and geotechnical conditions that ENGINEER characterizes to exist between
sampling points may differ significantly from those that actually exist. The passage of time must also be
considered, and OWNER recognizes that, due to natural occurrences or direct or indirect human activities at the site
or distant from it, actual conditions discovered may change. OWNER recognizes that nothing can be done to
eliminate the risks associated with these limitations.
SECTION 5 - TIMES FOR RENDERING SERVICES
5.1 ENGINEER's services and compensation under this Agreement have been agreed to in anticipation of the orderly
and continuous progress of the Project through completion of the Construction Phase and in accordance with the Project
Schedule contained within Exhibit A.
MOUNDSV.JH Rev. November 21, 1995
Page 6
5.2 If the Project Schedule is exceeded through no fault of ENGINEER, the rates and amounts of compensation
provided for herein shall be subject to equitable adjustment. If OWNER has requested changes in the scope, extent or
character of the Project, the time of performance of ENGINEER's services shall be adjusted equitably.

monthly. The amount billed for Basic Services and Additional Services in each invoice will be calculated on the basis set
forth in Exhibit B. Invoices are due and payable on receipt.
6.7.2 Unpaid Invoices. If OWNER fails to make any payment due ENGINEER for services and expenses within thirty
days after receipt of ENGINEER's invoice therefor, the amounts due ENGINEER will be increased at the rate of 1.5% per
month (or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law, if less)from said thirtieth day; and, in addition, ENGINEER may,
after giving seven days' written notice to OWNER, suspend services under this Agreement until ENGINEER has been paid in
full all amounts due for services, expenses and charges. Payments will be credited first to interest and then to principal. In
the event of a disputed or contested billing, only that portion so contested may be withheld from payment, and the undisputed
portion will be paid.

ADMINISTRATION
MEETING WITH SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES
Jerry and I attended a meeting Wednesday evening with the mayor's and manager's
of New Brighton, Arden Hills, Shoreview and Mounds View. The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss issues affecting all the communities and what efforts can be
made to coordinate plans for addressing those issues. Items discussed included re-
utilization of the TCAAP property and, the upgrade of 35W, Old Highway 8 and
Highway 96. The meeting provided an excellent forum for sharing ideas and, allowed
the participating communities to gain a little better insight into each others direction
for future growth, development and redevelopment.
BUDGET DONE
Staff is breathing a big sigh of relief following the adoption of the 1996 Budget at the
December 6 meeting. The process has been very enlightening to those of us who, in
the past, have only been involved in the drafting and not the actual adoption process.
Many thanks to members of the Finance and Administration Departments for the long,
hard hours they put in to ensure that the budget process went smoothly.
NOTE:
I will be out of the office on Friday, December 8, 1995. See you all on Monday at
6:00 p.m. If you have any questions or concerns, see Michele or Cathy B.
Paul H.
• I attended the open house for Tans on Ten this week a new tanning salon at
Moundsview Square. The owners are very excited for being in Mounds View and
were happy to have a contact at the City.
• A member of the Suburban Chamber of Commerce was in this week to give advice on
setting up work stations in an ergonomic way. He was able to give advice to several
Mounds View employees and will be making further recommendations in a formal
proposal.
• I PASSED. You will now be working with an official Certified Economic
Development Professional. I completed the training and passed all the exams required
through the National Development Council's Economic Development Certification

The MIS Committee is relieved to see the changeover in software going along smoothly.
Employees are very cooperative throughout the arduous tasks of training and converting of

What a week! The only time you can find all three of us working at our desks is very early
in the morning. After that at least one of us is scheduled to be elsewhere. I think we will
order roller skates for Christmas: our Mother's all agreed it was too late to order a twin.
Dorothy has been at City Hall early every morning doing the daily deposit, answering
questions, and getting as much done as possible. Then she heads to the hospital to be with
her husband. Franklin's recover has been slow . Hopefully the doctors will find the right
treatment and he can be home, soon.
Kitty has been working long hours. She has taken on accounts payable along with her other
duties. In addition, she is helping Dorothy as much as she can. Kitty wants to inform
everyone that Open Enrollment for Flex is during the month of December. Thursday is the
Employee Holiday Party which Kitty is helping to host. The party will be a good time to re-
energize.
I work at two different desks so that makes it doubly hard to find me. I attended two
computer training sessions this week, a couple of meetings, and the employee party is on my
"Want To Do"list. I have talked to investment companies, banks, government employees,
instructors, and co-workers trying to learn as much as I can stuff into my brain. Paul and
Michele are instructing me on packet "protocol" and have been very patient. Everyone has
been wonderful to work with and I have appreciated very smile, kind word, and controlled
tongue. Thanks.

PUBLIC WORKS
* Replacement of the Mounds View Mobile Home Park water meter and pit was
completed on Tuesday. The water was shut off for approximately 6 hours. Staff
received only one call from a resident of the park, stating that their water service had
frozen. I don't think that we had any thing to do with it.
* Tim PittmanTim-Predberg ary-an-d-Mark-attended a-snow-and ice control semina
on Wednesday.
* The new motor starters have been installed at wells 5 and 6. Start up went very well,
with only minor adjustments being made.
* Tim Pittman has started on the propane conversion on the Parks truck purchased
earlier this year.
* Meter installations are continually being performed. WaterPro is beginning to call
residents to try and schedule appointments for installations where residents have not
responded to the mailers sent out earlier.
* Wally, Larry, Bill Hanson, Bill Hanggi, and Tim Fredberg are attending computer
training classes once a week for three weeks.
* Underground inspection of the sanitary sewer system continues. All defects and
observations in the pipes are being recorded in the new inspection software purchased
earlier this year. This data base will prove to be very valuable in the future for many
projects and everyday usage.
