ADJOURNMENT: .(1411----THIS IS IT • • • • Tth ! nuarJ2O, 1995 ADMINISTRATION Councilmember Hankner may be a little late to Monday's meeting. Her plane is scheduled to land at 6: 15 p.m. and she will come straight to the meeting from the airport. Traffic being what it is at that time and the uncertainty that the plane will arrive on time may result in her arriving a bit after 7: 00 p.m. Anoka County-Blaine Airport I spoke today (Thursday) with a representative from Met. Council regarding the proposed expansion activities for the Airport. It appears that the Met Council is conducting of survey of communities near all the system airports to determine how cities are handling perceived or actual incompatible land uses as it relates, most notably, to noise and land use planning. While the Met Council is not responsible for MAC operations, beyond approval authority for the Capital Improvement Plan and Master Plan (as it fits within the overall regional approach) , the conversation this morning was helpful to let Met Council know of Mounds View's concerns regarding the proposed tower and dual runways. I also conveyed to Mr. Otto that residents have requested information from MAC regarding the formula used in calculating the number of annual operations and have yet to receive the information. He has agreed to speak to Gary Schmidt at MAC. Mermaid Expansion Charlie Hall met with representatives from the Rice Creek Watershed last week to informally discuss the hydrological issues relating to his proposed hotel/conference center expansion. The message that RCW gave Charlie was that they "would work with him". His idea to construct a ponding area across CR-H was not looked upon favorably due to the existing wetland. However, RCW suggested the possibility of creating a drainage ditch along the westerly side of CR-H, directing the run-off from the parking areas along the ditch system into a newly created ponded area somewhere west of the proposed expansion site. The bottom line is that Charlie feels comfortable in progressing to the next step in the discussion process; financial assistance from the City and the information he will need to provide to the City. Consequently, Bob Thistle, Cathy, Charlie and myself will be meeting next week to establish a timeline for the steps in the process and specify the financial information required for EDA consideration of any financial assistance. Strategic Planning Session Don't forget next Saturday (January 28th) is the Council/Staff Strategic Planning Workshop. It will begin at 8 : 00 a.m. and end whenever we finish (probably around 6: 00 p.m. ) The first two hours will be used to finalize the Mounds View Pledge. I will need the statements from Council by Monday so Tim and I can organize them for Saturday's discussion. I know that Karl asked that each of us write three statements for each of the 10 words, but if everyone writes one statement for each word, I think we will have a solid base on which to build. REMEMBER STATEMENTS TO ME BY MONDAY. THANKS! On Monday, the Council will receive the Strategic Planning Workbooks. This will list: 1. Each of last year's 12 Goals 2 . The 1994 Action steps (as outlined in the FOCUS 2000 Implementation Plan) and how/when they were accomplished (or not accomplished) 3 . Additional action steps that were accomplished that were not included in the Goal Plan 4 . 1995 Action Steps as outlined in the Plan 5. Additional 1995 Action Steps that are suggested to be accomplished (either new or forwarded to 1995 from 1994) 6. Lines for other 1995 Action Steps you may wish to take place 7. 1996 Action Steps as outlined in the Plan 8. Additional suggested Steps; and 9. Lines for other 1996 Action Steps Also included in the workbook is a page with possible goal topics and lines for additional goals. Some things have come to the forefront in 1995 that were not discussed at length at last year's Strategic Planning Workshop such as Community Oriented Policing, the Airport issue, Crime and Neighborhood Watch programs, TCAAP Reutilization activities, etc. The purpose of the workbook is to get everyone thinking about what they want to accomplish in 1995 and 1996 based on what has been accomplished in 1994 and what new issues you would like to discuss for the future. If everyone "fills in the blanks" and comes prepared with a sense of what they want to discuss, it will make the process flow smoothly. Auto Central I learned from Councilmember Hankner that Auto Central has had a complaint against them in regards to an auto sale that was in dispute by the buyer. Last Friday, I met with the new owner of Auto Central to inform him that the City had been made aware of a complaint against his business. Evidently, the ownership change has just occurred and he was not aware of the complaint —Auto — - - Central also had not yet paid its license fee, which he paid promptly after our meeting. He stated that he would "look into" the complaint and get back to me. Just out of curiosity, I asked Michele to talk to the Better Business Bureau and the A.G. 's office and see if formal complaints had been filed against Auto Central. The A.G. 's office has not received any complaints that have resulted in formal action against the company. The Better Business Bureau has received one complaint and because Auto Central did not answer their request for a response to the claim, they have given Auto Central an Unsatisfactory rating. Because the ownership has changed, Paul and I will be meeting with the new owner to go over with him the approved site plan so that he is aware of the number of cars he can have on the site and in what configuration. I'll keep you posted. Duane McCarty's Letter to the Editor According to the Bulletin, the letter was signed by Duane without any mention of his affiliation with the Charter Commission. February Work Session Items A preliminary agenda includes: * Discussion of a policy approach to manufactured home closings (per Councilmember Trude) * Discussion of Water Shut-Off Policy (tabled from December 19th meeting) * Update on energy savings analysis Please let me know if there are any items you wished placed on the agenda. Samantha Update on Woodlawn Terrace Rehabilitation: • After disturbing news from MHFA and Ramsey County with regards to the financial status of Woodlawn Terrace, Jennifer and I met with MHFA and Ramsey County to discuss options for rehabilitation. We found out that MHFA will be pursuing foreclosure proceedings against Northridge Properties. This will tie up the property for a maximum of nine months. During that time Northridge Properties will have the option of coming current on their outstanding mortgage and the property will again be under their ownership. In the interim, MHFA will appoint, through the Court, a receiver to manage the property. The receiver or fee manager will be responsible for protecting the property, collecting rent and general maintenance. The receiver will not make any-r-epaiis— is mare-ieyond-generaImaintenance ypicatty-in-these situations, the receiver is involved with the property for 1 1/2 to 2 years even if Northridge Properties once again gains control of the property. Ramsey County and MHFA still feel strongly about the need to rehabilitate the property but in light of the current financial situation Ramsey County would not be able to award CDBG funds or Home funds for the project. Judy Karon, from Ramsey County, did suggest that the City of Mounds View submit an application anyway. Apparently, not all awards that are made make it through final negotiations. Therefore, additional funds become available mid-year. The City would apply for funds under the premise that upon resolution of the financial situation at Woodlawn Terrace and if funds become available mid-year through Ramsey County, this project would be the first priority. If the City does not have an application submitted then there would be no chance of being eligible this year and we would need to wait until next year to submit a new application. I will be submitting a resolution in support of the application for your consideration at the January 23rd meeting. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. Retention: • Dynex Industries made a presentation to the EDC regarding their proposed expansion on Mustang Drive. Unfortunately, Mustang Drive is not in an existing TIF district. Therefore, to enable the City to assist in their expansion we are preparing Part I of the Economic Recovery Grant Application for Dynex. The EDC will make a resolution in support of this effort at their next meeting on January 26th and we will be requesting a resolution from the EDA in February. Attraction: • Samantha, Paul and I met with the owners of the K-gas site on Highway 10. They wanted to brainstorm on options for the site because they would like to either develop it themselves or sell the property. We will be working with them to find the best use for the site and will keep you posted. Highway 10 Subcommittee: • The EDC subcommittee will have their first meeting this Friday morning. Paul and I will attend the first meeting to give them guidance on their mission. Upon evaluating the situation the subcommittee will make a report to the EDC for consideration and then recommendations will be made to the EDA. I anticipate the first meeting to be a planning session for this group. Cathy B. INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY Lyal Schwarzkopf, former Minneapolis Ci yt Coordhratoranzi-former-Chiefof Staff for Governor Carlson met with Samantha and I on Tuesday to discuss the benefits of Freenet. Freenet is a charitable, volunteer driven, community communications network that promotes the use of communication technology in community activities. Freenet would establish a bank of modems that would enable users to access information that is made available to them. For example, the City could make ordinances, minutes, resolutions, etc. available to those who have access to a computer via this modem bank. This service could also be extended to more interactive activities such as signing up for Park and Recreation Programs. To help keep costs down, Freenet relies on donations of time and materials to operate the program. Multi-Tech has been a large contributor, donating several modems. Lyall is contacting other Cities who want to pursue the use of these type of technologies to determine similar interests. When we receive more information from Lyall, we will update you on this project. POLICE DEPARTMENT ADDING MORE NETWORK USERS The past couple of Friday's, the Chief and I have been doing preparation work to hook-up their three new computers to the network. Hopefully in the next two weeks all of their computers will be on-line. CLUBHOUSE MANAGER The advertisement and job description have been put together for the Clubhouse Manager/Teaching Instructor/Practice Range Manager for the Golf Course. The advertisement will appear in this Sundays Minneapolis and St. Paul newspapers as well as a couple of golf newsletters. A copy of the ad and the job description have been placed in each of your in-baskets. NEWSLETTER COMMITTEE MEETING The newsletter editorial board met on Wednesday to discuss the next newsletter. The scheduled delivery date is Saturday, February 25. PUBLIC EMPLOYEES INSURANCE PROGRAM (PEIP) On Wednesday, Samantha, Don, Kitty and I met with a representative of PEIP to further discuss the Health, Dental and Life insurance plans. It is customary for the City to periodically compare rate and benefits to insure the City is receiving the best value possible. As mentioned at the teambuilding session, Kitty and I did an analysis of the current benefits to the PEIP plan and the cost savings could be significant with little or no change in benefits coverage. We are waiting on more information from PEIP. When we receive it, an employee meeting will be called to discuss this option. We hope to be able to bring this issue to the Council for discussion at the March Worksession. Tim C. ( PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS: * The warm weather played havoc on the park rinks, turning them slushy, resulting in bumps and marks which will need to be corrected with colder weather. This winter's weather has not been conducive weather maintaining ice at the skating rinks. * A rink shaver was borrowed from a neighboring community and was attached to the skid loader - to be used for smoothing the bumps on the rinks. Heat boils have formed on Lambert Hockey rink and Woodcrest skating rink - usually due to warm subsoils. * Hillview and Groveland Park building improvements have been completed. After mid-February when rinks close we will begin to schedule community use in the park buildings. We already have a list of requests. * Re-keying Random Park building - with other park buildings following will be accomplished as time allows. * Storage shelves are being constructed at Silver View Park picnic shelter storage room. This room is used for athletic equipment and is stuffed to the gills with balls, bats, bases, helmets, etc. Shelving will provide a more organized and better maintained inventory of youth athletic equipment. RECREATION: * The Festival Committee had a long two hour meeting Wednesday, January 18. Seventeen people of the community including business persons, residents, group and organization representatives, fire department representatives, newspapers representatives, and various staff members met to plan an exciting program of activities for the summer "Festival". With such enthusiasm the Festival is sure to be a wonderful community event! Members of the Festival Committee will give an update to the City Council of ideas and activities during the January 23 City Council meeting. * I have been catching up on activities that occurred last week since I missed the majority of last work week due to Carl's mother's unexpected death. During last week we experienced the procedures of a living will, made decisions on life with support or death, organ donations, and the usual funeral and burial decisions. We hosted two families at our house, and made numerous trips to the-air-port—Now-CarFas-executor-must complete-the—neees-nary-activities hat that entails. Since this was our first parent death we have experienced many new things during last week's ordeal. Today, work seems a refuge from the rigors of last week. I wish to express heartfelt thanks to all of you who have been so concerned about our family, have sent cards and flowers, and provided verbal support. What a wonderful feeling it is to have so many wonderful and caring friends! * Mary attended a Volunteers Workshop this Thursday. The workshop's intent is to provide guidance in providing meaningful and beneficial volunteer activities for persons of the community so that they can made a difference in the community - and feel good about the service that they have offered. Since our department manages so many volunteers of the community, we hope to provide as much support and personal reward as possible to those who volunteer their service to Mounds View. * Sharie attended the second of three weekends of the FESTIVAL MANAGER'S program. Every time Sharie returns from the weekends she is full of ideas and excitement for the possibilities. She has been an influential factor in the enthusiastic group of Festival Committee members. There is one more weekend of class plus a dissertation for completion of the course - and certification. * Today I attended the meeting of the "Make a Difference" committee at Sunnyside School. We are meeting with the hope of coordinating activities and goals with the intent of supporting kids who are lacking support. This is a multi-faceted group of school and community support members. There is a segment of Sunnyside School kids that have been identified as lacking the "assets" that have been identified by "Search" studies and we hope that with collaborative efforts these assets can be acquired before the children reach Middle School - where it seems to almost be too late. * I have been working on a CDBG grant for the paving of a trail connecting Scotland Green Apartments with Silver View Park. As you recall, the paved trail stops at Long Lake Road and does not continue on the south side of Silver View Pond, which is an easement that we have on Scotland Green Apartment land. This would benefit both the park trail system and park access by Scotland Green residents. * Winter recreation programs are underway. Mary has been getting programs started. Spring planning is commencing. * THE BIG NEWS - - TERRY HAS ACCEPTED MARV'S PROPOSAL FOR MARRIAGE - - THE BIG GUY IS GOING TO BITE THE DUST!! IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, MARV-IS FLYING-oN-CLOUD-SAND DOESN'T EVEN - REALIZE IT. WE ALL CONGRATULATE MARV AND WISH HIM WELL ON HIS WEDDING PLANS. FORESTRY: * Over 5000 Christmas trees were received for chipping. This has been a collaborative program with Mounds View, New Brighton and Arden Hills, along with the garbage haulers. The chips will be available for resident use - located across Beisswengers off County Road 8. GOLF COURSE: * The advertisement for Clubhouse Manager/Golf Instructor has been completed and faxed to various organizations and papers and cities. Tim Cruikshank is spearheading the hiring process. * Kurt has been working on advertisement and signage. Scorecards and publication information has been prepared and sent to various publications and printers. CABLE TV: * The Cable TV Committee met last Thursday for programming ideas. "The View From the Mound" will be taped this Thursday and will be aired the later part of next week. Ernie Gustafson is the resident of interest. He was a participant in the medical delivery in Honduras. A nutritionist will also be interviewed regarding healthy foods. New City Councilmember Hankner will be interviewed. The Second Winds, exercise equipment store located at Silver View Plaza will be introduced with an on-site visit. Mary S. FINANCE • The Budget Book went to the printer this week. A special thank you to Dorothy Peterson, who made certain that all the Program Narratives and Resource Allocation Sheets had the same format, and who also found and corrected many, many incorrect spellings and other errors. Also thank you's to: Kitty Hickok and Mary Tatarek for proof reading budget numbers; Lynnette Morgan for numbering pages; Sharie Linke for cover designs and graphics; and to all budget preparers for all of their efforts in our successful conversion to a new budget format. • Dorothy Peterson, when not working on the Budget Book, is preparing the 4th Quarter 1994 Utility Billing. Bills will be mailed at the end of the month. • Kitty Hickok finished up year end payroll reporting. Employee W-2 Forms were distributed so we all can begin working on our tax returns (ugh!). • Mary Tatarek is busy with year end procedures and is also beginning to allocate 1994 and 1995 invoices to the proper year. Don POLICE * Investigator Nelson attended a three day seminar this week. The Seminar topic was questioning and interrogations of suspects and witnesses. * Officer Chambers spent the last week in Arizona, visiting with his sons. * The Golden Glove Banquet was held at the Bel-Rae this week. Two of our officers worked the event and reported no trouble. * Officer Baumgart was busy this week. In addition to his DARE duties, he made two drug arrests. One was at Woodcrest Park, the other at Brooks Superette. * Last Thursday, the Chief attended the Ramsey Co. Chief's meeting. Many topics were discussed. Computer consolidation and squad car markings were discussed in detail. Tim R. PUBLIC WORKS * Public Works had a water main break on January 11, 1995 at Longview and Woodcrest. The break was located under a huge tree at the curb line and it was-a tittte-tricky-making-the-repair The-crew-had-to-cut-a-good-amount of -- tree roots to get at the break. The repair took a little longer than normal, but the end result was good; the break was repaired and the tree still remains in tact. * Staff completed a MSA survey and a "Snow Plowing Practice" Survey. The snow plowing survey is distributed by the State's Auditors Office and Mounds View was chosen as (1) out of (60) municipalities selected to share their best snow plowing practices. We will get a copy of the compiled results from the Auditors Office. (We participated in a similar survey last year that was put out by the Metropolitan Council.) * Staff was contacted by Tim Nelson, a manager from the Business Park, asking for an additional stop sign to be put up at Quincy and Woodale. In October, 1994, Staff did a traffic count and study in this area, our conclusions were that a stop sign was not warranted. I explained these findings to Mr. Nelson and that if he still felt a stop sign was needed, he could address the City Council. Staff has a strong feeling that Mr. Nelson will be addressing the Council in the near future. Mike COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADULT USE ORDINANCE Staff met with the City Attorney this week to further discuss the enactment of the Adult Use Ordinance. Discussion centered on the available land area for such uses and how the City will control the operations. Staff and the Attorney are currently in the process of finalizing the wording of the Ordinance and will be ready to make a formal presentation to the Council at the February Work Session. Also scheduled to be presented at that meeting is a map showing those areas of the City which appear to be the most viable for location of Adult Uses. RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT PERMITTING As directed by the Council, Staff has been in contact with the Rice Creek Watershed District to get their input on Mounds Views' proposed takeover of the RCWD permitting process. Kate Drewry of the RCWD will be forwarding Staff a letter in the not too distant future with their response. CAR LOTS Within the past two weeks, Staff has received three calls from persons interested in locating used car lots along Highway 10. Currently, Mounds View has a moratorium on the establishment of car lots within the City. The Planning Commission is scheduled to begin review of the car lot requirements in mid-February to determine their relationship to Mounds Views' vision for Highway 10. Thankfully, the moratorium is in effect! Paul H.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Pete Linder, representing Linder's Greenhouses, has made application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of an outdoor greenhouse and sales operation at Mounds View Square. As you will recall, Linder's was issued a C.U.P. in 1994 for a similar operation at Mounds View Square. The current request would allow the operation to be set up in the same manner as 1994, however, because of a request by the owners of Mounds View Square, and a desire on the part of the applicant for better visibility, the location of the operation on the property would be different than 1994. Staff has reviewed the current proposal and found the proposed location to be an improvement over the 1994 location. In the letter of application, Mr. Linder asks that the City consider allowing the operation to hook up to a hydrant on the property in order to get water for the operation. Staff has checked with the Director of Public Works and as long as the applicant meters the hydrant for usage, there is no problem with the request. Staff would also like to add that the City received no negative comments on the operation last year. I have included all materials received as part of this application for your review. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

Attached to this letter is my application for Conditional Use permit for our Flower Mart at the Moundsview Square Shopping Center. I would like to state that the Flower Mart _ at this location last spring was very successful and we had many customers comment thatthey were happy to have us here. As far as I know there were no problems with . our being here and we feel we were goodneighbors for the shopping center and the •:community. We are eager to return. You will notethat the location h_as been changed and we would like to place the Flower Mart toward the front of the shopping center. This is due to a request.by Paster • Enterprises. and _a desire by us for more "visibility.) An added benefit will be the= elimination of a concern last year about the"traffic flow. Here we will not be near an. intersection- and traffic will flow smoothly past_ with no visibility. problems. We will : .operate here the same as in.the other location. . Our electricity will come from the pylon in the lot near the Flower Mart.The water for our use can come from the shopping center through a"hose in the lot. An alternative to this would be to seek permission from your Public Works Dept for a meter to put on the hydrant to the south of the Flower Mart We have- done this at other locations without . - any problems and would anticipate none here. We will pay for whatever water we use just as any other customer of this utility would do. • - We plan to be just as we were last year except the patio will be 3Oft x 30ft. We had requested .this size last .year but reduced it to accommodate the traffic concern. " Everything else will be the same. Our business season is planned for April 15 thru June 25.

SUMMARY; In consultation with Minnesota Housing Finance Authority (MHFA) and Ramsey County regarding Woodlawn Terrace, it has been recommended that the City of Mounds View apply for CDBG\Home Funds instead of supporting a private application for the funds. With current financial and legal situations between Northridge Properties and MHFA, an application for CDBG\Home Funds would not be awarded. Based on the assumption that successful resolution will be made regarding the property during this year and with the hopes that there may be additional CDBG\Home Funds available, the City of Mounds View does not want to miss an opportunity for the funds to be allocated to this project since it is in such critical need of rehabilitation. MHFA and Ramsey County have expressed commitment to the project and consider rehabilitation of Woodlawn Terrace as one of their top priorities. City staff will work closely with MHFA and Ramsey County to ensure that all necessary measures will be pursued so that proper rehabilitation can be a reality. As stated before, this project would be an ideal partnership effort between MHFA, Ramsey County and the City in fulfilling the goals of providing housing to low and moderate income persons. The attached resolution authorizes the City's application for CDBG\Home Funds for Woodlawn Terrace and commits to assisting in proving a safe, decent and energy efficient living environment for the residents of Mounds View.

Fxplanation/Summary(attach supplement _ eetsas 'ecessary.) _ ,SUMMARY; Attached is a resolution for approval of a grant which is being prepared for the Community Development Block Grant program. Although this project is not in the priority list of projects this year, it does provide an environmental enhancement for the lives of residents living in multiple dwellings which is a priority item focus this year. This project requests a small amount of money in comparison to other grant projects. Therefore, it may have a chance for funding. This project, as well as serving the living environment of Scotland Green Apartment residents, would also enhance the trail system at Silver View Park - completing yet another section of paved trailway. In addition, this project would further the cause of the Trailways Advocacy Group. The City of Mounds View already is collaboration with Scotland Green Apartments in that we have installed a woodchip trail through an easement agreement. The trail is maintained by the City, city residents use the trail to loop the pond and the trail serves the residents of Scotland Green Apartments. The trail however, is very difficult to maintain, being a woodchip trail. It is also wet and smushy much of the time due to composition of woodchips. It is not accessible to persons with walking impairments. The paved trail would be a benefit to all. It is my anticipation that staff would manage the project and continue to maintain the path.

This request was approved at the December 12th, 1994 , regular Council meeting. Staff advertised for bids of this project, and opened bids on January 11, 1995 .
