19
20 Mayor Linke explained that this portion of the meeting was
21 designated for anyone who wished to speak to the Council on items
22 that were not on the Agenda.
23
24 Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, informed Council that the
25 purpose of his attendance was to respond to a recent article which
26 appeared in one of the local newspapers regarding the petitioning
27 process that residents are allowed under the City Charter. He
28 handed out copies of the Charter provisions and briefly reviewed
29 Chapter 8 of the City Charter which states all of the public
30 improvement processes that the City must follow in performing
31 public improvements and levying assessments. Mr. McCarty pointed
32 out the steps to be followed for the petitioning process.
33
34 Charles Ross ??, 5142 Eastwood Road, related that he has a neighbor
35 who sprays birch trees within approximately three feet of the
36 property line. Nearly forty percent of one of the trees hangs over
37 the property line. Mr. Ross expressed concern regarding liability
38 in the event someone on his property could be affected by the spray
39 from his neighbor. He would like to see an Ordinance requiring
40 permission to be granted by surrounding neighbors for anyone to
41 spray hazardous chemicals.
42
43 Mayor Linke directed staff to check into the matter and furnish a
44 response to Mr. Ross.

18
19 Mike Ulrich, Director of Public Works, reported that the need for
20 an equitable means of maintaining and reconstructing the City's
21 infrastructure was rapidly becoming a necessity. Streets and
22 sanitary sewer mains have been aging and decaying. The Silver Lake
23 Woods Fund has been utilized for several years to perform
24 preventative maintenance of the streets but is quickly being
25 depleted.
26
27 Earlier in the year, wastewater employees Wally Mortenson and Larry
28 Decheine presented an informational review of the sanitary sewer
29 system. There are numerous video tapes showing the decay in the
30 system; many residential services have tree roots protruding into
31 the mainline. The need for rehabilitation and reconstruction is
32 imminent in the future. Several assessment policies from
33 surrounding communities have been reviewed in considering a policy
34 for Mounds View. The assessment policy has been discussed at
35 several City Council Work Sessions and has been submitted to the
36 City Attorney for comments. The document was presented to Council
37 at the May 1, 1995 Work Session and at that time, staff received
38 direction to proceed with adoption.
39
40 Mayor Linke mentioned that the City's infrastructure will require
41 improvements and reconstruction in the future. He read portions of

47 Councilmember Trude stated that she supported planning for the
48 future and was aware that funds are needed to maintain and
49 reconstruct the City's infrastructure. She explained the trade-off
50 required in order to achieve the necessary funding. If a two-
UNAPPROIED
Mounds View City Council Page 6
Regular Meeting May 22, 1995
1 thirds assessment is adopted, the remaining one-third will come out
2 of general property taxes. If residents prefer a lower assessment,
3 then general property taxes will have to be raised to cover the
4 burden. Although there is no major project planned at the present
5 time, this plan would allow funding for reconstruction projects in
6 the future.
7
8 Ms. Trude expressed her views regarding the street standards. She
9 felt that it would not be necessary to widen the streets in the
10 City= local streetshavesewed the community wet for the last 20
11 to 30 years. She had never heard a resident say that they wanted
12 the streets wider, but she had heard several times that residents
13 thought the traffic was too fast and they were concerned about the
14 safety of the children.
15
16 Ms. Trude felt that widening the streets would involve tearing up
17 a good deal of green space and didn't feel the residents wanted
18 that. She would like to see the City's residential street
19 standards set at 28 feet. Wider streets would mean a bigger demand
20 on the storm sewers and drainage ponds. There were street
21 standards in place when these roads were built.
22
23 Ms. Trude said that we are not rebuilding the City; we are
24 maintaining the City. The major issues she identified when
25 considering the street standards were: cost, stormwater runoff,
26 safety, livability.
27
28 Councilmember Hankner stated that the 32 foot figure for the width
29 of streets was used strictly for public hearing purposes to get
30 input from residents. There has been no vote on this issue.
31
32 Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, read a statement prepared by
33 Councilmember Blanchard who was unable to attend the meeting. The
34 statement specified that Ms. Blanchard opposed the 32 foot street
35 width. She felt that the wider the street, the faster the traffic,
36 and residential streets do not need faster traffic. Narrower
37 streets force drivers to slow down. She also cited the loss of
38 green space that would result from wider streets, as well as the
39 cost factor.
40
41 Mayor Linke explained that it is the policy throughout Ramsey
42 County that streets are being reconstructed at a 32 foot width.
43 This is being done because of safety factors.
44
45 Councilmember Quick stated that the 32 foot width was presented at
46 the public hearing as a figure for input from residents.
47
48 Mayor Linke welcomed comments from the public.

1 Jim Jorissen, 8368 Knollwood Drive, inquired whether the people who
2 will be effected by the assessment process of the reconstruction
3 will have the right to petition.
4
5 Mayor Linke explained that the uniform street standards will be
6 determined prior to any reconstruction. The purpose of this public
7 hearing is to offer residents an opportunity to voice their
8 opinions regarding this issue.
9
10 Mr. Jorissen concurred with Councilmember Trude in regard to the 28
11 foot width for residential streets. He cited the potential for an
12 increase in the speed of traffic if the streets were widened.
13
14 Councilmember Quick asked if Mr. Jorissen was in favor of stricter
15 law enforcement for speeding. Mr. Jorissen replied that he
16 definitely was in favor of stricter law enforcement for speeding.
17
18 Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, briefly outlined the provisions
19 regarding citizen involvement in this process as stated in the City
20 Charter.
21
22 Mr. Quick asked Mr. McCarty to respond to the question of whether
23 he was in favor of stricter law enforcement for speeding. Mr.
24 McCarty stated that he was very much in favor of stricter law
25 enforcement regarding speeding.
26
27 Mike Ulrich, Director of Public Works, explained the process used
28 to evaluate every street in the City relative to surface condition,
29 levels of cracking, areas of potholes, etc. That information is
30 entered into a computer and a rating is given which would indicate
31 the maintenance required.
32
33 Barbara Haake, 3024 County Road I, advised that she was a citizen
34 of Mounds View as well as a member of the Board of Managers of the
35 Rice Creek Watershed District which handles water management for 30
36 cities. She handed out a form listing 24 strategies to minimize
37 impervious areas. The first strategy listed was to have more
38 narrow residential road widths. Volume of water and rate of runoff
39 are typically increased when there are more impervious surfaces;
40 there is also a greater capacity to transport pollutants. She felt
41 most citizens would prefer to see the green area as large as
42 possible to help keep the pollutants out of the water that will run
43 off the impervious surfaces and get into the underground water and
44 into the streams themselves.
45
46 Ms. Haake commended the City of Mounds View for being one of the
47 first cities to start a water management plan, holding water back
48 in various ponds. She also said that Mounds View has gone further
49 in their water management plan than any other city.

1 As a citizen, she would prefer to see the width of residential
2 streets set at 28 feet.
3
4 Relating to the question of stricter law enforcement for speeding,
5 Ms. Haake was in favor of stricter law enforcement; however, she
6 felt the highway speed restriction should be 65 miles per hour.
7
8 Bruce Brasaemle, 5127 Long Lake Road, stated that he was opposed to
9 widening the residential streets, citing a reduction in green space
10 and increase of ground water pollutants, as well as additional
11 chemicals that would be needed for snow removal. He also felt the
12 increase in costs involved with wider streets could force some
13 residents to leave the community.
14
15 Mr. Brasaemle was in favor of stricter law enforcement for
16 speeding.
17
18 Charles Young, 3032 County Road I, expressed concern regarding the
19 County Road that he lives on. He also commented on the leaf
20 recycling process.
21
22 Larry Windingstad, 2595 Woodcrest Drive, concurred with
23 Councilmember Trude's opinion of widening the streets. He was
24 opposed to widening residential streets beyond 28 feet.
25
26 He was in favor of any efforts to get speeders to slow down.
27
28 Leonard Gustafson, 5126 Greenwood Drive, asked for clarification of
29 the process required to adopt an ordinance on this matter. Mayor
30 Linke offered an explanation.
31
32 Jeff Pheneger, 2235 Lambert Avenue, stated that he was in favor of
33 the 28 foot width for residential streets. He felt that parking on
34 one side of the street would be an alternative to widening the
35 street.
36
37 Mr. Pheneger was also in favor of stricter law enforcement for
38 speeding. He cited the area of Lambert Park as having many
39 speeding problems which make the streets unsafe for children.
40
41 Leroy Luchsinger, 2153 Terrace Drive, expressed his gratitude to
42 Mr. Beck, author of an article in the New Brighton Bulletin
43 regarding this public hearing for street standards. Mr. Luchsinger
44 was in favor of 30 foot wide streets.
45
46 Alvin Dahlberg, 5107 Greenwood Drive, was concerned that the City
47 of Mounds View was planning to do a massive reconstruction project
48 and he felt there were streets which were many years old that still
49 didn't need to be reconstructed. He felt the street widths should

1 remain at what they presently are. Mayor Linke explained that only
2 streets in critical need would be reconstructed.
3
4 Mr. Dahlberg was in favor of stricter law enforcement for speeding.
5
6 Rhonda Smieja, 5298 St. Stephen Street, strongly opposed curbs and
7 gutters and favored street standards at a minimum width. Her main
8 concern was the water runoff.
9
10 Bill Ivory, 5115 Eastwood Road, concurred with the other people who
11 were opposedtowidening the streets.
12
13 Mr. Ivory was in favor of stricter law enforcement for speeding.
14
15 Gary Heldman, 2332 Sherwood Road, did not feel that widening the
16 streets would be a public improvement. His property value would
17 decrease because he would lose trees if the streets were made
18 wider. He was concerned that wider streets could cause higher
19 traffic speeds and could cause more stormwater runoff.
20
21 Mr. Heldman was in favor of stricter law enforcement for speeding.
22
23 Terence Posterick, 5100 Brighton Lane, was concerned regarding the
24 cost of street reconstruction.
25
26 Pat Moenkhaus, 5132 Eastwood Road, concurred with Councilmember
27 Trude relative to keeping the street widths narrow.
28
29 Mr. Moenkhaus was in favor of stricter law enforcement for
30 speeding.
31
32 Charles Ross, 5142 Eastwood Road, was against widening the streets.
33
34 Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, commented that no work had been

28
29 Mayor Linke requested that this item also include a change in
30 the filing fee for candidates to run for public office from
31 $5. 00 to $35. 00. The costs involved to the City to furnish a
32 candidate with the necessary documents were between $55 and
33 $65 and Mr. Linke felt it was unfair for candidates to allow
34 the residents of the City to subsidize their candidacy. He
35 believed the added fee would help defray some of the costs to
36 the City.

SUMMARY;
On June 13 , 1994 the City Council extended the emergency plans for

on time. Towns Edge ran into some trouble with some easement problems
and could'nt get their shelter done on time. They will have it done
in sixty days as all problems are now resolved and constuction will
begin on June 12 , 1995.
New emergency plans were sent to us for our approval. I have reviewed

Item Description:
Replacement o -=Well pump motor starters
Administrator's Review/Recommendation: ink
- No comments to supplement this repo
- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY;
At a Council work session in the recent past, staff presented information
related to the well pumps, in regards to improving their electrical and
operational efficiency. Staff has began to research several options
presented by NSP and their findings as to the pump motors efficiencies . The
specific need to research the motor starters originally was to replace the
old equipment with energy efficient mechanisms .
The need for replacement of the starters has now become a necessity. The
starter contacts at Wells 5 and 6 have been deteriorating rapidly, to the
point where the wells have failed. These failures not only cause numerous
callouts, electrical contractor repairs, and possible water shortages . The
contacts have been replaced once to staff' s knowledge . Replacement costs
approximately 12 to 15 years ago were $3 , 000 for each location. At that
time staff kept the old contacts for salvage to use in an emergency.
Earlier this spring the contacts failed at well 5 . They were replaced with
the contacts from well 4 , rendering it inoperable. Last week, well 6 which
has been very reliable, failed due to contact wear. Staff cleaned up the
last of the remaining used salvaged contacts, and was able to start well
six. All contacts previously on hand, that were replaced because they were
unreliable in the past, are now installed, and in use at two of the City' s
main supplies of water. If one of these contacts were to fail, the City no
longer has any worn out replacement parts .
Past history has proven that these contacts are unreliable and badly worn,
one or both of these mechanisms will fail in the near future, which will
present the City with an emergency water situation. Replacement of these
motor controls was recommended in the 1983 Water System CIP, prepared by
then Public Works Director John Johnson. Estimated replacement costs in
1987 was $12, 000 .
The demand for water is rapidly rising to the peak pumping season. While
staff could utilize others wells, should wells 5 and, or, 6 fail, the City
would be severely penalized by NSP for pumping during Peak Controlled
Periods .
(over)
RECOMMENDATION;
Council authorize staff to solicit quotes for new motor controls for wells
5 and 6 , and to purchase a new control system should an emergency situation
occur.
Staff has received preliminary estimates that new starter controls that
will reduce energy, electrical demand, and pump and motor wear could cost
$10, 000 to $15, 000 plus installation per site.
Staff is requesting council authorization to solicit quotes for the
replacement of the motor controls at wells 5 and 6 . If one of these
controls fails, prior to receiving formal quotes for Council approval,
staff request emergency approval to purchase replacement controls . Funds
for this project would be from the excess Water Improvement Bond balance,
that was transferred into the regular water department fund.
Gael Ulrich, Director of Public Works
THIS IS
IT. . . .
For the Week of June 5, 1995 - June 9, 1995
ADMINISTRATION
Lynnette and I attended the monthly TUG meeting this morning - this is the Metro
area personnel group that are, by far, the best source of expertise on human
resources issues in the state. As always, I learned of more federal mandates that will
impact us beginning January 1, 1996. A couple of years ago, I read that human
resources was the most complex and rapidly changing area of management in the
public sector (we are under twice as many guidelines as the private sector) and it
appears that remains true today. Lynnette will continue to go to the meetings so that
we can keep pace with this ever changing field.
LMC Conference
I will be attending the LMC conference (Duluth) Tuesday - Friday of next week. The
Board meeting is Tuesday afternoon and I have a session presentation on Strategic
Planning on Wednesday afternoon. Michele will have the number where I can be
reached and Paul will be in charge during my absence. Once again, feel free to
introduce him to "trial by fire".
Assessment Hearing Continuation
I have asked a representative from Health Span, Mark Allen, the Police and Fire
Chiefs to be present at Monday's meeting to answer any questions the Council or
public may have in regards to emergency vehicles and varying street widths. I also
contacted a representative from MTC who commented that the narrow streets make it
difficult for buses when there is parking on both sides of the street, but it does not
present a real issue in Mounds View as buses generally do not transverse most
residential streets. As of this writing, I have not heard back from BFI or the school bus
company.
Reorganization at Holmes and Graven Law Firm
It appears that an organizational restructuring has occurred at Holmes and Graven.
Mr. Holmes and several other attorneys have left the firm. Jim Thomson is not one of
the attorneys leaving. The firm's new name will be Kennedy and Graven.
My New Assistant
In case you haven't seen my new assistant, please stop in and meet him before I give
Irirn-to a n-ew-horrre He-reallyis-a good assistantin-many ways - doesn't-waste my
time, doesn't take long breaks or lunch hours, but he just doesn't seem able to
accomplish the tasks that I ask of him.
Request from Tom Fields
Late Monday afternoon Tom Fields faxed the article that you will find in this copy of
This Is It with the request that the Council consider the concepts put forth in the
article as they begin their financial planning for 1996. Actually, the article was not
faxed to us until Tuesday morning due to a faxing problem on our/his end of the fax.
Have a good weekend and see you Monday!
Samantha
Dale Jones Property:
• Both Paul and I received a call from a person who is interested in building
another senior housing project on Silver Lake Road next to the new Silver Lake
Point Apartments. They would like to build low income assisted living
apartments. They propose a three story, angled building which would include
congregate facilities for low income seniors over 62 and disabled heads of
households. He will be sending a letter to the EDA outlining his desires and
requesting Tax Increment Financing.
• At the suggestion of Phyllis Blanchard, I will be contacting the director of Allina
Health Systems who own Family Medical Clinic located next to Mercy Hospital.
Apparently, they are in the process of searching for a larger site to consolidate
the family practice clinic with the medicine department. After doing some
research I found out that they have an option on property in Andover but have
not purchased it yet. I will be calling the director to see if he is interested in
exploring the option of a the Dale Jones site in Mounds View.
City Participation Program:
• Jennifer and I met with two mortgage companies this week regarding support
for administering the first time home buyer loans through the Minnesota Cities
Participation Program. We met with CTX Mortgage in New Brighton and FSB
Mortgage in Minneapolis. The City must choose lenders that are qualified to
administer the program under MHFA guidelines. We have added a twist to the
application because we are proposing the addition of rehabilitation of the
homes. The program is specifically for first time home buyer purchase. This
makes administration of the loans more difficult. If we are awarded the funds
from MHFA, both mortgage companies are willing to work with the City to
make the program work. The application was due on June 8. Award of funds
should_be-in-J ly-with-the--program implementation in late July-through--
—
October.

PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY
PARKS:
* Rain, rain, rain - it sure has dampened our style! Moving was delayed due to
the rains this week. Everyone is calling to ask why their particular park area
is not mowed. The good news is that we have had a dry day, Thursday,
June 8 and the crew has caught up with park mowing.
* The rain has also delayed landscaping work that needs to be done at Hillview
and Groveland Park buildings. Plans are to grade and seed and sod areas
which were dug up due to the late autumn improvements to the park
buildings.
* The crew removed more graffiti from Lambert Park playground equipment.
The vandals are really busy at the parks. Hillview Park building was hit again
too with graffiti. It was quickly painted over.
* Staff is finding that we cannot meet the needs of youth baseball coaches
who are calling for park use permits. Days and weekends are fll of practices
and the demand exceeds the availability of fields. We are doing our best to
satisfy everyone, trying to ensure that everyone has equal time for practices
and games.
* The parks crew has been filling in washouts that the heavy rains have made
in trails, park entries and other places in the parks.
* Gene Wagner of Silver Lake Woods townhouses called staff again to ask the
City to do something to stop the balls from going to the homes located
adjacent to Ballfield 2. He and others will probably be at the next Work
Session to again request funding for trees, fencing or netting. The same day
I had a call from the Insurance Trust Company. They had received a call
also from the homeowners, requesting assistance. However, the Insurance
Trust Company continues to have the opinion that the City is doing more
than reasonable in this situation.
RECREATION:
* The July/August City Newsletter is in preparation, along with the Recreation
Activity brochure. This is always a hectic time when big projects and
activities all happen around the same time. Golf Course Dedication and
Grand Opening, Festival, Community Theater, Playgrounds and Lakeside
Beach opening all require a lot of preparation and planning, arrangements
and marketing.
* A Statewide Playground Leader's Workshop was held Thursday, June 8.
Eight of the Cities' playground leaders attended the Workshop.
* City park facilities are booked solid during the summer with group
reservations at picnic facility locations including City Hall, Silver View Park
and Lakeside Park.
FORESTRY:
* Rick's crew landscaped the Clubhouse with shrubs and bushes this week.
Rick as also arranged for pines-to be planted along with larger trees f or
visual buffers and protective buffers along the parking lot and Highway 118.
Large Amur Maples will be planted along the first two fairways for visual
barriers.
CABLE TV:
* Jerry is packing up for his move to a full time position.
The advertisement for the position should be in the newspaper this weekend.

RECYCLING INTERN BEGINS WORK
Peter Lindstrom began employment as the Recycling Intern on Tuesday of this past
week. After a week of acclimating himself to the new surroundings, Peter will
begin work on studying the issues of multi-family recycling availabilities in the City
as well as other Council directed studies. Peter main responsibility will be the
overall administration of the City recycling efforts. Plans are underway for a booth
at the Festival in the Park highlighting recycling issues. Welcome aboard Peter!
HARSTAD CONDOMINIUMS
Within the past month, Staff has been contacted by a builder representing Keith
Harstad. The builder has been contracted by Harstad to develop a condominium
project that was platted in the early 1970's along County Road H2 and Long lake
Road. This plat has been the subject of numerous past discussions between Staff
and the City Attorney. Those discussions focused on the validity of the platted
condominiums and the associated zoning of the property. It seems that at the time
the property was platted, no rezoning of the property (to accommodate
condominium development) was done. However, the plat showing the layout of
the condominiums was approved and recorded by both the City and the County.
Current zoning of the property is R-1, Single Family Residential. This land use
classification does not allow the type of large scale condominium development that
was approved as part of the plat. However, based on the discussions between
Staff and the Attorney, it could be claimed by Harstad that by approving the Plat
the City performed a "defacto" rezoning of the property.
Staff has a meeting scheduled with the City Attorney to discuss the issue further.
Should any further information come to light as a result of this meeting, Staff will
forward it to the City Council.
