ADJOURNMENT: THIS IS 11 . 1 . 1 For the Week of February 6, 1995 - February 10, 1995 ADMINISTRATION The Community Recognition Dinner Committee has tentatively set the date for March 31st. This was the only date that the band, White Sidewalls, will be available. Sharie Linke and Jan Quick are once again the organizing geniuses that will make the night a real "Event" . Because of the new State Ethics Law, we will not be able to accept donations or door prizes from local businesses. Consequently, there will have to be a charge to everyone, except those receiving awards or special recognition, of no more than $10. I hope that the fee will not prevent people from attending as the event is always such fun. So, mark your calendar for March 31st. Silver View Pointe Groundbreaking Councilmembers Trude and Blanchard, Commissioner Wedell, former Representative Geri Evans, Tim Cruikshank, Paul Harrington and I attended the brief and very c-c-c-cold ceremony on Wednesday. It appears that everything is on schedule. Jeff Huggett has provided us with a small architectural rendering of the completed project that we will include in the next issue of the newsletter. We hope to receive a larger one in the next month that we can place in the lobby. 1995 Council Five Year Goal Plan Wednesday night's meeting was very productive! Tim has begun to finalize the Plan which will be provided to you on Monday for final review before publication. The galloping crud rides again! We are looking for someone to blame for the cold and sore throat that many of us are experiencing at City Hall. Last time, it was Tim Cruikshank, then it was Paul. Now, we are looking for someone new. Any ideas? Oh yes, we've already used the "weather" . Cable Commission Budget and Financial Audit I contacted Cori Wilson at the North Suburban Cable Commission and requested a copy of their 1995 Budget and most recent financial statement. She will be sending the Budget and the 1993 Financial Statement right away and will send the 1994 Financial as soon as she receives it from the auditors. Selection of a new Fire Chief The process has begun for selecting a new Fire Chief. The position description was sent to Fire Chiefs in a seven state area and advertisements have been placed in the LMC Bulletin and several area newspapers. Personnel Decisions Resources, Inc. is will screen resumes and recommend 7-8 finalists. PDI will also conduct an Assessment Center process for the finalists. The candidates will first be interviewed by a panel of 2 representatives from each station, followed by an interview with each of the three City Administrators who will make a recommendation to the Board. The Fire Board has final selection authority. It is anticipated that the new chief will be on board in late March/early April. The Fire Chief dropped off a copy of the new By-laws which I have included herein for your records. The By-laws provide increased involvement by the three cities and create a Board that is comprised of not only firefighters, but also representatives from the three communities. Boy, have we come a long way. The Fire Department has truly become a partner of the three cities. A great deal of the new relationship has to do with Chief Fagerstrom's acceptance and support of the role of the cities. Have a great weekend everyone! Samantha CLUBHOUSE MANAGER/GOLF PRO To date, the City has received 9 applications for the Clubhouse Manager/Golf Pro position. Although the response has not been overwhelming, some good candidates have applied. The deadline for submitting applications is 2/14 . 5 YEAR GOAL PLAN Samantha and I have started to reorganize the 5 Year Goal Plan per Council direction at Wednesday evening's meeting. With a little luck, this document will be available by Monday. GROUNDBREAKING FOR SILVER LAKE POINTE APARTMENTS The groundbreaking for the senior apartments was held at 10: 30 a.m. on Wednesday, 2/8. A picture of the event was sent to the Bulletin to be included in next weeks paper. Tim C. Cathy Bennett has been at an Economic Development Seminar this week. PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS Equipment Specifications: Steve has been preparing specifications for the purchase of a parks truck, small mower and large mower. The large mower is the only one requiring a formal bid process. The truck will be purchased on the state bid. The small mower will be purchased after receiving price bids. Rink schedule: We have surveyed the neighboring communities and all will remain open throughout the Winter Break which is February 20-26. We are no exception. The weather has been cold and rink maintenance continues. We are expecting another arctic blast (according to the weather forecasters) and if this happens we will continue to flood. Once the warmer weather appears we will discontinue flooding and simply broom the rinks, letting the rinks thaw relative to the weather. Rink attendants will be scheduled only through February 26. This is one week over the budgeted time. Woodcrest Rink is the exception - it will close February 10. It has been an unusual winter. Pedestrian Bridge Update: Joyce and I met with MNDOT Grants & Aid last Friday to review the memorandum that is required for design approval. The process is somewhat time consuming since many agencies must be called for approval of the plans. Joyce has agreed to take on that part of the task. The other part is the preparation of a plan that outlines the specifics of the project. We received a copy of Washington County's memorandum regarding a trunk Highway project and will use this as our guide. In addition, we discussed what type of engineering that we should have for this project. A DESIGN/BUILD is one option and iridiVidual engineering is the other. After hearing our plans for this bridge (including the hopes that it will be a unique structure that is special to Mounds View, is very attractive and a type of focal point of the community) they strongly suggested the engineering services that will provide flexibility to the plan. The DESIGN/BUILD would be a boiler plate type of bridge without any options for uniqueness. This requires the contracting of an engineering firm for the project. They highly suggested that the engineering services be bid to get the best price. There are many firms available - they provided us with firms that they believe are very reputable. Staff will be preparing an RFP for pedestrian bridge engineering services. This project should have input from the Hwy 10 committee and others because it will be the first project along Hwy 10. The type of light structures, the color of the bridge, the ramp entrances, etc. should be chosen with the idea that they will match other facilities along Hwy 10 in the future such as lights, banners, color schemes, landscaping, etc. We certainly don't want a hodge podge of stuff along Hwy 10 and this being a prominent fixture, will be the most visible. We need to make sure that it is attractive, functions well and that we can be proud of it. CABLE TV: Jerry Skelly Jr. prepared a grant proposal for additional equipment that will assist with user friendly information gathering by residents who have a telephone and CABLE TV. Once we have all the necessary equipment, residents will be able to use a menu-driven program to access information regarding upcoming senior citizen trips for example - or water flushing schedules, steps of trimming your trees, compost pile times and dates, city hall meetings, pre-school program options, etc. It's a great system which many cities already offer. GOLF COURSE: The new double sided sign is up at County Road J and Coral Sea Street. Kurt said that he has noticed many more cars circling the road taking a look at the golf course. We have been working on the golf brochures and information regarding leagues and fees. A mailing list of interested persons has been prepared. Information will be sent to all inquiries. Lesson information will follow after we have the golf instructor on board. Final information and course picture was sent to Golf Magazine Digest. We are very anxious to get our hands on the magazine because we are one of four new courses featured on the front cover. The magazine is scheduled to be out the last part of February. Mary S. FINANCE • We made payment on our Revenue Note to Sysco on January 26. Outstanding balance on the Note is $344,793 . Original Note was for $534, 069. • The Department has recently prepared many reports requested by various State Agencies. They include: Adopted Budget Report Report of Outstanding Bonded Debt Survey of Sewer Use Data Report of Outstanding Tax Increment District Debt • Work continues on preparation of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and audit workpapers and schedules by all members of the Department. Don PUBLIC WORKS * On February 6, Thein Well started projects 95-1 and 95-2, (Wellhead Maintenance) . Bill Hanggi and Bill Hanson will be working closely with them on these projects. ie. inspections, questions, operation. * Tim Fredberg did a fire extinguisher inventory/survey around the shop and he identified and installed them, in the areas that were lacking in them. * Mark Andrescik has volunteered to be the "Public Works Hazardous Material" Coordinator. He will be attending a 3 day seminar March 15, 16 and 17. * The new backhoe was delivered February 6! Due to a water main break, February 8, we were able to try it out. The operators of the backhoe are very satisfied with its operations. Added reach and hydraulic capabilities, increase the production and safety. The water main break was at Spring Lake Road and Highway 10. Unfortunately it is under the road in 4-5 feet of frost. The crew investigated the leak and determined that it is NOT jeopardizing the water main and itis not effecting the water supply to our residents/businesses. When the spring thaw comes, the break will be repaired. Mike COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLANNING COMMISSION 1995 WORK PLAN At their February 1, 1995 meeting, the Planning Commission established their 1995 work plan. Included was revision of the requirements for automobile dealerships (there is currently a moratorium on the establishment of dealerships in the City) and update of the Sign Code (this will be done in cooperation with the EDC so that business needs and concerns can be addressed) . Staff informed the Commission of the preliminary results of the Council Strategic Planning Session and it was decided that they would await Council direction on any other projects identified. WETLAND CONSERVATION ACT SEMINAR Staff attended a seminar, sponsored by the Minnesota Chapter of the American Planning Association, which covered the key elements of the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act. Of particular interest was discussion on the impacts of the legislation on property owners and their right to develop property. Staff relayed the specifics of the Louis Downing Wetland Alteration case (which the Council discussed in late 1994) to the participants for purposes of illustrating the impacts to property owners. The seminar was extremely informative and provided a good basis of understanding of the techniques used to delineate and classify wetlands. These types of seminars - and the sharing of information and opinions that occurs at them - provide a valuable source of expertise upon which Staff can draw. Paul H.

Mr. Clysdale 14 advised that this was the eighth check the City has been 15 issued by the League; the total amount exceeded $114, 000. He 16 stated that the large amount of dividends returned was 17 reflective of the excellent experience in the areas of 18 property and general liability automobile insurance the City 19 of Mounds View has maintained. 20 21 Mayor Linke expressed his appreciation to Mr. Clysdale for the 22 check and commented that insurance costs have been kept low 23 because the City Staff works diligently and safely. 24 25 b.

Orduno said the 22 City Staff would be meeting with the owner in the near future to 23 discuss the restrictions regarding the site plan and how many cars 24 will be allowed on the site. 25 26 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Blanchard to Adopt the Consent Agenda as 27 Presented 28 29 VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 30 31 RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR: 32 33 Mayor Linke explained that this portion of the meeting was 34 designated for anyone who wished to speak to the Council on items 35 that were not on the Agenda. 36 37 Roy Carlson, a match maker for Maxx Pro Boxing Productions, 38 reported that his purpose at the meeting, along with James Glancey, 39 President, was to request the City Council to approve Resolution 40 No. 4704, a Resolution Approving the Maxx Pro Boxing Events at the 41 Bel-Rae Ballroom for March 17, April 19 and May 19, 1995. He cited 42 the word "amateur" should be changed to "professional" on the 43 Resolution. Mr. Carlson explained that similar events have been 44 conducted in the past with no problems. He stated that the dates 45 of the events were satisfactory to the Police Lieutenant, who will 46 arrange to have officers present. Mr. Carlson summarized the 47 conditions of Resolution No. 4704 specifying that Items 1 and 2 48 were in progress and affirmed that Items 3 through 6 would also be 49 abided by. 50 I j Mounds View City Council Page 4 Regular Meeting January 23, 1995 1 Councilmember Trude asked if all the necessary documentation was in 2 order for the City Council to approve this Resolution. 3 4 Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, explained that everything was 5 in order. 6 7 Linke stated that the Resolution would be amended to say 8 "professional boxing matches" rather than "amateur.

In 1994, Mr. Linder operated a similar greenhouse at 29 Mounds View Square; however, at the request of the property owner 30 and a desire on the part of the applicant, the location of the 31 operation on the property would be different. The new location of 32 the greenhouse would be immediately adjacent to Hwy. 10 and there 33 are no foreseen problems with this new location. The Planning 34 Commission has reviewed this case and is recommending approval. 35 36 Harrington cited the two conditions that were stated in the 37 Resolution and mentioned that the applicant has agreed to abide by 38 the restrictions regarding hours of operation. 39 40 Councilmember Blanchard asked if there was a possibility of a 41 traffic problem being created by cars pulling off Hwy. 10 to get to 42 this operation. 43 44 Harrington explained that, because of the distance between Hwy. 10 45 and the parking lot, there should be no traffic problems. 46 47 Linke asked if there were any comments from the residents. There 48 were none. 49 50 Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 7: 12 p.m. I"' 1 .'' n n ‘ I!: g r r J to : ,c} ra k9 a � r E,„ i1 5 f u .

Consideration of Providing Funding Assistance for Festival In 10 The Park Celebration Through the Transfer of $4, 000 from 11 Contingency Fund to Professional Services 12 13 Sharie Linke, Parks and Recreation Administrative Assistant, 14 reported that she was speaking on behalf of the Festival In 15 The Park Committee to request funds in the amount of $4,000 16 towards the operating expenses of the 1995 Festival In The 17 Park Celebration. 18 19 Ms. Linke introduced the following members of the Festival In 20 The Park Committee: Alice Frits, a representative of the 21 Mounds View Lioness Club and Chairperson of the Concessions 22 Committee; Dru Dukart, representing Band Boosters and 23 Chairperson of the Parade Committee; Kathy Harrer, also from 24 the Band Boosters and on the Publicity Committee; Pat Michna, 25 a resident and Staff member who is Entertainment Chairperson 26 and on the Fund Raising Committee. 27 28 Ms. Linke explained that the Festival In The Park Committee is 29 made up of 24 people who are representative of the Mounds View 30 businesses, non-profit organizations and residents. Their 31 goal is to present to the residents of Mounds View a 32 celebration, to bring people together and foster pride in the 33 community, and to spotlight local businesses. The dates of 34 the 1995 Festival In The Park are July 8 and 9; however the 35 dates of the Festival week are July 3 through 9. Ms. Linke 36 specified the various activities scheduled for the Festival 37 week and the organizations that will be sponsoring those 38 activities. She also reported the funding sources for the 39 Festival, stressing the need for the funds from the City to be 40 used for operating expenses. 41 42 Councilmember Blanchard commented that it appeared to be a 43 great Festival. 44 45 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Trude to Provide Funding Assistance for 46 Festival In The Park Celebration Through the Transfer of 47 $4, 000 from Contingency Fund to Professional Services 48 49 VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 50 F ti I is rl F"`• 57 pl I r' %. f, .11 a t e n VA t✓ v 4'a ,,m Mounds View City Council Page 6 Regular Meeting January 23, 1995 1 Councilmember Hankner arrived at 7:20 p.m. 2 3 B. Consideration of Resolution No. 4711 Authorizing Application 4 for Ramsey County Community Development Block Grant/Home Funds 5 for the Rehabilitation of Woodlawn Terrace 6 7 Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator, explained 8 that it has been recommended by the Minnesota Housing Finance 9 Authority and Ramsey County that the City of Mounds View apply 10 for CDBG/Home Funds regarding Woodlawn Terrace rather than 11 supporting a private application for the funds. There are 12 current financial and legal situations between Northridge 13 Properties and MHFA which disqualify them from the grant 14 eligibility requirements. This Resolution would authorize the 15 City's application for CDBG/Home Funds for the rehabilitation 16 of Woodlawn Terrace. This project would be an ideal 17 partnership between the Minnesota Housing Finance Authority, 18 Ramsey County and the City of Mounds View. 19 20 Councilmember Trude asked what the position of the City would 21 be regarding this application. 22 23 Bennett explained that the City would be going in place of an 24 owner at this time with the intention of getting the funds 25 allocated for this rehabilitation project. The highest 26 priority of the Ramsey County Development Block Grant/Home 27 Funds is the rehabilitation of existing structures. 28 29 Trude noted that last year there were many applicants for the 30 Community Development Block Grant/Home Funds. 31 32 Bennett said that information was mailed to all multi-dwelling 33 property owners in Mounds View requesting them to respond by 34 last week with supporting documentation so it could be 35 included as a Resolution. To date, no responses have been 36 received. The deadline is February 1 for those applications. 37 38 Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, commented that if any 39 applications are received before Ramsey County's deadline, 40 they will act on the application and allow the City to follow 41 with a Resolution of support. 42 43 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Quick to Adopt Resolution No. 4711 44 Authorizing Application for Ramsey County Community 45 Development Block Grant/Home Funds for the Rehabilitation of 46 Woodlawn Terrace 47 48 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 49 , , , fir i �r1 � i n 1 ] 4 `d am c Mounds View City Council Page 7 Regular Meeting January 23, 1995 1 C.

The 9 City has acquired an easement from Scotland Green Apartments 10 and a woodchip trail was installed.

This would 31 be a qualifying project under Transportation Enhancements. 32 Saarion remarked that a rough estimate of the cost of the 33 project from Steve Campbell was in the $300, 000 range. This 34 grant would fund 80% of the cost, leaving the City's portion 35 of 20%. Construction would not be required until 1988/1989 36 which would allow the City time to prepare funding for the 37 project. 38 39 Councilmember Trude stated that she fully supported this 40 Resolution, one reason being the added safety along Silver 41 Lake Road that the path would provide. 42 43 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Quick to Adopt Resolution No. 4712 44 Approving Application for an ISTEA Grant for the Construction 45 of an Off-Street Paved Pathway Connecting the Paved Path that 46 Stops at County Road H - Thus Completing the Last Segment of 47 Paved Pathway Along the Entire Silver Lake Road Route - With 48 This Last Segment Connecting County Road H to Highway 10 49 50 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 4 ', E * r)0 PI, nIs irn liov ,r.,..;' r ti f , N It - Mounds View City Council Page 8 Regular Meeting January 23, 1995 1 2 E. Consideration of Resolution No. 4708 Authorizing the Mayor and 3 City Administrator to Execute Development Agreement No. 95-99, 4 Sherwood Estates, with Citywide Developers 5 6 Paul Harrington, Community Development Coordinator, advised 7 that in November 1994, Ken Sjodin representing Citywide 8 Developers, approached the City Council with a 13-lot, 9 residential subdivision development project known as Sherwood 10 Estates. The Council approved the subdivision with the 11 stipulation that the applicant enter into a Development 12 Agreement with the City to ensure development of the project 13 according to accepted City standards of construction. This 14 Resolution authorizes the Mayor and Clerk Administrator to 15 execute the Development Agreement, which will be brought to 16 the February 6 Council Work Session in draft form. 17 18 Councilmember Trude asked if this agreement would be similar 19 to previous development agreements. 20 21 Harrington said that, although the development agreements are 22 similar, different conditions are put in each one. 23 24 Mayor Linke clarified that approval of this Resolution would 25 be contingent upon City Council's discussion at the February 6 26 Work Session. 27 28 MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Trude to Adopt Resolution No. 4708 29 Authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to Execute 30 Development Agreement No. 95-99, Sherwood Estates, with 31 Citywide Developers, Contingent Upon City Council's Discussion 32 at the February 6, 1995 Work Session 33 34 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 35 36 F. Consideration of Wellhead Maintenance Bids 37 38 Mike Ulrich, Public Works Director, explained the project and 39 procedure of the preventative maintenance plan for the repair 40 and maintenance of the City's water system. There were two 41 wells scheduled for preventative maintenance in 1994 which 42 were necessary for production at that time. Funds designated 43 for wellhead maintenance in 1994 have been transferred to the 44 1995 budget, enabling funding of the maintenance project. 45 46 Ulrich reported the contractors that submitted bids and the 47 results of those bids. He explained that the extent of repair 48 needed on the wells would not be known until the wells were 49 actually pulled and inspected. For this reason, even repair 50 items which may not be necessary have been included on the n 0 Li 1 Mounds View City Council Page 9 Regular Meeting January 23, 1995 1 bids. Only the required repairs will be charged by the 2 contractor. 3 4 Councilmember Trude asked if the agreement with the contractor 5 was to buy only the services that were needed even though the 6 bid was on all of the potential needs. 7 8 Ulrich affirmed, clarifying that each item was bid 9 individually and only items required will be paid for. 10 11 MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Quick to Award Wellhead Maintenance 12 Project to Low Bidder, Thein Well Company, to be funded from 13 Water Account #700-4122-515 14 15 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 16 17 Ulrich added that there is not a change order contingency on 18 this bid, so if the repairs do exceed the approved amount, 19 staff will be required to obtain approval from the City 20 Council for additional funds. 21 22 REPORTS 23 24 1.

Planning Case No. 391-94 The Planning Commission deliberated on the question of how many model homes could be available for sale at any one time. It was questioned as to whether or not the park should be restricted on the number of new or used homes displayed for sale. Planning Associate Pruitt informed the Commission that she spoke with the City Attorney who advised her that a model home is defined as new or used. Mr. Liggett explained to the Planning Commission that State law requires that the seller of a manufactured home provide the buyer with a statement, known as a safety disclosure, verifying that the home is up to Code. Mr. Liggett also expressed that it is to the City's advantage to grant this request because it would upgrade the park. He further expressed that the primary goal of management is to keep the park full. Further discussion again ensued by the Planning Commission on the number of homes that would be allowed to be available for sale at any one time. The Planning Commission concurred that the number of homes offered for sale shall not exceed six percent of the licensed lots in the park.

This information was requested by the Parks and Recreation Commission. Of the two firms, American Engineering Testing Inc. is recommended by staff because the American Engineering Testing Inc. proposal offers the same services at less cost. Work can begin within 1-2 weeks after receiving authorization. Testing and evaluation will be prepared within two weeks after completion of field work. The cost is not to exceed $1,900 with funding from the Park Dedication funds.

This proposal is being submitted per our discussion and your fax transmittal on January 26, 1995. This letter is intended to propose a scope of work and to present you with an estimate of the associated fee, the anticipated schedule, and other information regarding our services. Purpose of Study The purpose of this geotechnical work is to explore the subsurface conditions at the site, and based on our characterization of the obtained data, to prepare a geotechnical engineering report presenting comments and recommendations to assist you and your project team in planning and construction. Project Information We understand improvements being considered include a new youth athletic field which will be located to the east of the existing building at the park. We understand the existing ground has experienced some irregular movements. Because of this. you wish to evaluate the future performance of the land and determine if certain grading procedures may be needed to improve the performance. As the area is currently somewhat level, needed grading to establish a flat playing surface should be relatively low (assuming soil correction is not needed). We understand you are also planning to pave the existing parking lot in the southwest corner of the park. The lot is currently surfaced with an aggregate base material, and you would like to add bituminous surfacing. 'AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER' 2102 University Ave. W.. .

Fax 612-659-1379 Duluth•Mankato •Rochester•Wausau Ms. Mary Saarion January 27, 1995 Page 2 We have visited the site and, assuming we do not receive a significant snowfall, we should able to gain access to representative test locations with a 4-wheel drive, one-ton truck drill rig. Scope of Services Fieldwork To evaluate the athletic field area, we propose to drill and sample three standard penetration test borings (ASTM:D 1586). Our proposal is based on a total boring lineal footage of 48 feet for these 3 borings, resulting in an average depth of 16'. The program may be altered depending on conditions encountered, although will plan to limit ourselves to 48 lineal feet to remain within budget. To aid your evaluation of the parking lot improvements, we propose to place two flight auger borings (ASTM:D 1452) to a depth of 4%' each. Our services will include arranging clearance of underground public utilities through the Gopher State One Call System. We will also document the boring locations and measure the surface elevation at each test location. Laboratory Our services will include mechanical laboratory testing of selected soil samples to aid in judging engineering properties of the soils. In this proposal, we have budgeted for $75 for geotechnical laboratory testing. If conditions are encountered which indicate the laboratory program should be expanded for proper evaluation, we will review the recommended tests and associated cost with you prior to proceeding. Engineering Report Following the field and laboratory work, a formal engineering report will be prepared and submitted. This report will include logs of the test borings, the laboratory test results, a review of engineering properties of the on-site soils, and our geotechnical engineering opinions and recommendations regarding the following: • Estimates of future settlements or heaves of the athletic field area • Grading procedures to correct the athletic field area if the future movements are anticipated to be excessive. • Parking lot subgrade preparation (if needed) • Estimated subgrade R-value Ms. Mary Saarion January 27, 1995 Page 3 • Pavement thickness design The scope of work defined in this proposal is intended for geotechnical purposes only. This scope is not intended to explore for the presence or extent of environmental contamination at the site. However, we will note obvious contamination encountered which can be detected by human sight or smell sensing. Fees The scope of work defined in this proposal will be performed on a time and materials basis according to our current schedule of fees. A short form copy of this schedule is attached. The final fee is estimated to be in the range of$1700 to $1900; and we will establish the latter figure as a not-to-exceed fee for the scope described. In the event the scope of our work needs to be revised due to unanticipated conditions or for proper evaluation, we will review such adjustments and the associated fees with you; and receive your approval before proceeding. Schedule Weather permitting, we anticipate drilling operations can begin within about 1 to 1'A weeks after receiving authorization to proceed. Verbal results of the drilling activities can be obtained shortly after completion of the drilling. We anticipate the geotechnical report can be prepared within about two weeks after completion of the field work. We are available to review special schedule needs with you. Terms/Conditions Our services will be performed per the attached two-page "Service Agreement," along with the "Subsurface Boring Supplement." Acceptance . Please indicate your acceptance of this proposal by endorsing the enclosed copy and returning it to us. The original proposal is intended for your records. Remarks We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal to you and look forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions regarding our services, or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

This Plat included property that will eventually support the Building N addition to the Mounds View Business Park. The MVBP East 2nd Addition plat that was approved was a replat of properties included in two (2) previously approved Plats (Programmed Land First and Second Additions) . At the time those two plats were approved, certain easements were taken by the City to provide for utilities and drainage on the parcels. Since the MVBP East 2nd Addition plat is a reconfiguration of those original parcels, certain portions of those easements are no longer necessary. Because easements are "dedicated to the public forever" , these portions of unnecessary easements are required to be formally vacated as part of the replat. Please keep in mind that new utility and drainage easements were provided by Everest at the time of replat, so there is no net loss in available utility and drainage easements.
