For the Week of February 21 , 1994 - February 25,(41-1------11THIS
ADMINISTRATION
Well, at long last we are in our new offices. Although exactly where everything will be
placed changes daily as we try to work out the "kinks" of how things will best work for
the way we interact departmentally, publically and interdepartmentally.
Rice Creek Watershed District Board Appointment
Good news for Mounds View! Barbara Haake has been appointed by the Ramsey
County Board to a seat on the Rice Creek Watershed Board!
Everest
Paul Harrington met with Tim Nelson last Friday to discuss park dedication fees.
Everest remains reluctant to pay park dedication fees for the C.G. Hill project. Their
contention is that park dedication fees were paid at the time of the initial development
of the park. However, our records contradict this contention.
Economic Development Coordinator
The interviews are scheduled for Tuesday, March 1st. The interview panel will be
myself, Mayor Linke, Tim Cruikshank and the New Brighton Community Development
Director, Kevin Locke. There will be 10 candidates interviewed in a process that will
include a 45 minute oral interview and an one hour "in-basket" exercise. It is the
panel's hope that one candidate will "shine" and we'll be able to make a provisionary
offer of employment within the week. If there is not a clear candidate, the top 2 or 3
will be invited back for a second interview.
In Memory
If you haven't heard yet the man who has been the mail carrier to the City for the past
5 years was killed in the Sunday, February 20th head-on collision near Chicago City
that also took the life of a young mother and her little boy. Many of the staff knew him
well and have had a difficult week as they remember his endearing smile and good
humor.

CITY HALL EXPANSION UPDATE
It has been a busy week of moving into the new office area for Administration and
Park and Recreation. Withthesetwo Departments moving;the Community -
Development Department also had a chance to reorganize their work areas. 11s nice
to be moved in but there are several small kinks to work out.
The remainder of the construction is still scheduled to be completed by 3/2 with a
punch list completed by 3/11.
On Friday, the Police Squad room will be carpeted and early next week the
Community Room will be carpeted. Also, the downstairs archives is almost done
being transformed into a women's restroom.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR AND HOUSING INTERN
The deadline for the Economic Development Coordinator and Housing Intern
positions was the end of the day on Monday, February 14, 1994. 31 applications
were received for the EDC position and 26 applications were received for the Housing
Intern position. Although we did not receive as many applications as we would have
liked, there seem to be several well qualified candidates for both positions.
We have gone through all of the EDC applications and will be interviewing 10
candidates on Tuesday, March 1. Most of the candidates are from the Metro area,
some are from Southern Minnesota, one is from Wisconsin another from San Diego.
The interview panel will consist of Samantha, Jerry, Kevin Loch (Economic
Development Coordinator from New Brighton) and me.
The Housing Intern applications have also been reviewed and interviews should begin
by the end of next week.
FOCUS 2000 UPDATE
The Focus 2000 Steering Committee will be meeting tonight (2/24) for the first time.
Georgine Madden from ProSource will be present for the first hour aiding in the initial
phase of creating the Vision and Mission Statements.

PARKS
PARKS:
The rinks are officially closed for the season. The melt and thaw did their
dastardly tricks and formed large cracks and, in some cases, large heat
boils making the ice unsafe to skate. We have exceeded our budgeted
number of days open by one week. The skating season was relatively a
good one although the temperatures were colder than usual. By
happenstance the snow tended to come on the weekends which resulted
in overtime for brooming the rinks on a number of Saturday and Sunday
mornings.
Jeff is now on regular day's schedule. Steve is attending Chemical
Applicators school on Wednesday, February 23. The park houses will be
cleaned and equipment and phones collected. Portable restrooms will
be picked up.
Steve is also attending Word Perfect computer classes. Additional
plumbing is a joint project for expanded washing areas in the garage.
This will be an assistance for daily maintenance and cleaning of the parks
equipment such as mowers, etc.
•
RECREATION
RECREATION:
We have spent the week moving. It is always enlightening to see how
much JUNK is collected over time. Boxes and boxes of stuff is hauled up
and we wonder how we managed to store all that stuff. We have files
and files of part time and seasonal employees. The law required that we
retain these files for five years after they end their employment. We must
have about 400 part time employee personnel files!
I attended another lecture regarding the information obtained by Search
Institute, Peter Benson and his associates. The Youth Serving Providers
Network Members invited Dr. Dale Blyth to come and share information
regarding Healthy Communities, Healthy Youth. The information has
shown that it is important to provide youth with assets, or factors
promoting positive teenage development. It has been found that the
greatest asset that healthy communities offer is involved community
organizations and activities....even moreso than school positive climate or
supporting families. This information is astounding and puts great
importance onto church, recreation and scouting activities as well as 4-H,
music activities, athletic associations and other community programs.
These activities, it was shown, provide adult mentorship, offer structured
activities to occupy youths' time, offers skill development and social
interaction, provide opportunities for sharing and teamwork, requires self
discipline, teaches good values, exercises decision-making and builds
self esteem. These are all assets that are necessary to assist youth in
avoiding the risks that come during the growing up stages of teenagers.
The study is very interesting. If you have a chance to attend one of these
sessions, please go. It is good information as city workers as well as
parents.
We will be living out of boxes for three weeks until new desks for Sharie,
Mary and Rick arrive. We have ordered desks that match in color and
style. The appearance of our office should greatly be enhanced with
matching desks. As you remember, the money for these new desks is a
combination of savings and carryover from our 1993 Recreation Budget
and Recreation Activity money in the case of Marv's new desk.
IT IS SO NICE TO SEE OUTSIDE. OUR NEW WINDOWS ARE
WONDERFUL!!!
The Parks and Recreation Commission meets on Thursday, February 24.
Any issues that may come upfor the City Council will be on the Work
Session for March.
The brochures should be out to the homes by the end of this week or
beginning of next week. We hope that our new charging equipment
makes it here by then. We are ready for the big Spring registration.
POLICE
TOO BUSY TO WRITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
FINANCE )
• We have purchased a check/protector signer. It will be used for
Accounts Payable this week and Payroll next week. Will report on
how it went in the next issue.
• Purchased a computer from Zeos for Mary Tatarek. Delivery will
occur toward the end of this week.
• Have a meeting scheduled with Bob Thistle of Springsted, Inc. to
discuss the possibility of refunding some or all of our outstanding
Tax Increment Financing Bonds.
• Work continues on year end financial and preparing work sheets
and schedules in anticipation of the arrival of the auditors.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT
The Mounds View Planning Commission got their first look at the Senior Housing
Project being proposed by the Westminster Corporation at their February 16, 1994
Agenda Meeting. A number of the Commission members took part in the FOCUS
project and recognize the desire of the residents of the Community to have a facility
of this type available. Although the Commission supported the concept plan, they did
have some concerns about the number of parking spaces available on the site. Also,
a surface water drainage plan was requested and will be provided by the applicant for
review. The Commission anticipates further review of the request at their March
meetings.
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT UTILITY FEES
Staff is in the process of putting together a list of all properties in the City and their
applicable SWM fees. A preliminary list has been provided by the Finance
Department and a final list will be ready for the first quarter billing which goes out in
April. Staff put an article in the current issue of the Newsletter explaining the SWM
Utilityand its-accompanying-fees.

PUBLIC WORKS
Bill Hanggi passed his Class B Water License test. Bill devoted a lot of time to
this class - Congratulations Bill!

Last week we were unplugging catch basins to accommodate the fast melting
snow. Come on Spring!
The start up of Wells 4 & 5 were performed February 23, 1994. It didn't go as
well as planned. We will keep you updated.
We are in the process of plumbing a water line to the back of the shop. This
new water line will be used to clean off lawn mowers and the sweeper during
the summer. This will eliminate the mess that occurs when the outside lines
are used in the front of the shop.
Tim and Steve attended their annual "Pesticide Applicators Class" at the St.
Paul Campus on February 23.
We are experimenting with the application of Liquid Calcicum Chloride as an
ice controller. If this procedure is workable, it will reduce the amount of salt
used for deicing purposes.
Cheryl was in a car accident February 11. She has been out of work for 2
weeks now. (Her knees and neck were banged up.) WE HOPE CHERYL HAS
A SPEEDY RECOVERY!
Tracy has been working on the software program for the lock system. There's
a lot information that goes into that program.
We have been assisting the Police Department in the some of the remodeling
in their area.
. We have been in further contact with Ramsey County in regards to the
Pleasantview Drive reconstruction project. I hope to obtain all of the
information and present it to the Council soon. (We are trying to negoiate for
more money.] -
We received a check from State Aid for the Long Lake Road project and we
will be reimbursing Ramsey County soon.

To keep pace with inflation, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) , the
Federal jurisdiction charged with setting employee mileage reimbursement •
rates, periodically adjusts the amount employees can claim when using
personal vehicles for City business. This rate has increased from $.28
per mile to $. 29 per mile. Increasing mileage reimbursements to $.29 per

Item Description: Consideration of Request for Conditional Use Permit, Linder's Greenhouse
Planning Case No.. 372-94
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report °'
- Comments attached.
Explanation Summary(attach-supplement-sh=-- - :_ necessary.) _
SUMMARY;
Peter Linder, representing Linder's Greenhouses, has submitted an
application requesting the approval of a Conditional Use Permit which would
allow the operation of a Flower Mart at Mounds View Square. Chapter 40. 19
Subdivision D (2) allows for open or outdoor sales in a B-4 zoning district
with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. The application, as
submitted, meets all applicable sections of Chapter 40.
The Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the request and
recommended approval in Resolution No. 376-94 . As part of their review,
the Planning Commission identified two (2) major areas of concern:
1) The location of the proposed greenhouse structure is
located at the intersection of two :internal drive
aisles .on the property (please see attached site plan) .
Based on discussions with Staff and the Planning
Commission, the applicant has agreed to locate the
greenhouse structure a minimum of 20-25 feet off of the
intersection curb line. This should provide a more than
adequate "site triangle" for traffic on the property.
2) The request references the need for electricity on the
site 24 hours per day. The applicant has verified that the
electrical needs on the property will be provided via
Mounds View Square. A rubberized speed bump, hollowed out
to allow for the insertion of electrical cable, will be
provided so that the electrical lines servicing the
structure will not be susceptible to the elements or
vandalism.

RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 4511 approving the request forConditional Use Permit
at Mounds View Square.

FEBRUARY 23 , 1994

specified on the Planning Commission resolution were mutually
agreed upon by the applicant and the Commission. I have included
City Council Resolution No. 4511 for your consideration.

Dear Paul, ��.
Attached to this letter is a drawing showing the location of the Linder'st
Flower Mart in the lot at the Moundsview Square shopping center. Also at- _
tached are photos showing other Flower Marts as well as information
about Linder's and our operations.
The Flower Mart is a quality greenhouse structure which sits on the pave-
ment and is held down with by an internal system which uses water for
ballast. The structure is 21 feet by 80 feet with an 'additional 20 feet by
30 feet patio area which serves to display merchandise and provide a
pleasant look to the Flower Mart. During our season we sell all types of
annuals, perennials, hanging baskets and other products for use in the
home garden. Our only utility requirements are reasonable access to water
for the plants and 110 volt electricity available 24 hours per day. Linder's
takes away all discarded material and strives to maintain a clean and pro-
fessional appearance. We anticipate the 1994 selling season to begin on
April 16 and end on June 26.
The Flower Mart has one to two employees during weekdays and two to
three during weekends. We are open seven days a week during the season.
Our hours are 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM weekdays and 8:00 AM until 7:00 PM
weekends. The Flower Mart is supervised by several managers who keep it
stocked and operating cleanly and efficiently. We make every attempt to
employ persons from the community.
For the past five years we have developed our "Flower Marts" and have
placed them throughout the twin cities area. Last year we operated at nine
different locations. Because we are well known as a quality grower many
gardeners seek us out. Locating in areas around the cities we are able to
serve our customers better. It is also an opportunity for business owners
Printec cn Recvclec Pacer
to provide their customers with quality flowers conveniently nearby. Our
customers have given us a tremendous welcome and look forward to our
returning each spring.
I would like to highlight the fact that Linder's is a family business and
has been growing flower and vegetables plants for over 80 years. We grow
everything we sell other than nursery stock and have two large growing
locations, St Paul and Lake Elmo.
We grow quality bedding plants as well as other seasonal products for
sale both wholesale and retail. Linder's guarantees all our products and
because we are a year-round business, our customers can come to us even
after our remote Flower Marts have closed for the season. We take great
pride in our Flower Marts and are proud to display our name by putting
large signs on the Flower Marts to identify ourselves. We also decorate
them with flags with our companies colors.
•
hope you find this material informative and that it addresses all of your
concerns. If you have any questions please feel free 'to contact me at
865-5358 or 488-6717.
Thank you,

i TJMiVj AY;
The contract to provide fire service to the cities of Mounds View,
Blaine and Spring Lake Park is presented for consideration and approval.
The contract has been approved both by the City of Blaine and the Fire
Department's Board of Directors.
The City of Spring Lake Park had previously expressed concerns regarding
sections of the contract. The City Attorney, Jim Thomson, has also
questioned contract language. However, it must be noted that the
contract with the Fire Department is very unique and traditional
contract language may have to be set aside for the continued viability
1 of a relationship between three cities and a contract/departmental
service provider.
I have attached a letter from the Blaine City Manager, Don Poss, who
succinctly and comprehensively addresses the issues raised by the City
of Spring Lake Park. In Don's letter, he expresses the reality issues
that are a part of a historical transaction between three cities and a
heretofore private, independent service provider. In exchange for
turning over to the three cities the Department's assets (land,
buildings and equipment) , the Fire Department must be assured that they
will remain the sole source provider for fire protection services for a
minimum of 10 years.
In the past, the three cities contracted with what was then a private
and autonomous organization. The cities provided funding based on a
formula which allocated costs per a combination of property valuations
and the number of fire calls per city. The three cities had very little
input into the budget process, revenues, expenditures or hiring
procedures of the organization. The 1990 Fire Bond Referendum, which
was passed of all three cities, changed the scope of the relationship
between the cities and the organization.

Motion to Approve the Contract to Furnish Fire Protection Services to
the Cities of Blaine, Mounds View and Spring Lake Park
STAFF REPORT
PAGE TWO
FEBRUARY 24, 1994
The negotiations began in 1991 to develop a new contract which
would create a partnership between the cities and a Fire
Department that would function not as an independent service
provider, but as a municipal department per a three-city Joint
Powers Agreement.
Since the beginning of 1991 to the present, the relationship
between the Fire Department and the three cities has become a
true-pa-rtnership. The budget processhas -improved dramatically
over the past three years. Expenditures, capital programs,
staffing levels and revenues are discussed openly and information
is shared. The Fire Department provides quarterly reports to the
cities and meets with the Administrative Committee on a quarterly
basis to discuss policies, procedures and the budget status.
The Fire Department that exists today is not the organization
which existed prior to the referendum -- it is a far superior
department. It is a Department that now has quality equipment,
operating facilities and a commitment from the cities that the
Department is a valued and appreciated public safety service
provider.
The contract before the Council is the culmination of three years
of negotiations, compromise, collaboration and, most importantly,
partnership. It is a contract that is in the best interests of
the people of Mounds View, their property and is a cost effective
public expenditure.
The Lease Agreement, a standard private sector lease adjusted to
a public sector arrangement, essentially leases back to the Fire
Department the assets which will, upon approval of the Contract,
be transferred to the cities.
The inventory of assets has yet to be finalized, but need not
delay the approval of the contract as the inventory will include
all buildings and equipment purchased with the proceeds from the
1991 Fire Bond.

Mr. Donald Busch —
City Administrator
City of Spring Lake Park
1301 81st Avenue N.E.
Spring Lake Park, MN 55432
Dear Don:
Blaine offers the following response to the concerns of the City of Spring Lake Park regarding
the draft Fire Contract which you received on December 13, 1993. The subject concerns were
apparently expressed at a Spring Lake Park Council workshop on January 10, 1994 and
subsequently transmitted to Blaine on February 11, 1994.
1. Term. 10 years. Too long a time to commit. Council would agree to a term of 5 years,
renewable in 5 year increments.
The two major issues between the parties (the Fire Department and the Cities) were (1)the
conveyance of title by the Fire Department to the Cities for substantial assets contributed by
the Cities to the Fire Department over the entire term of the relationship, and(2) a long-term
commitment to the viability of the Fire Department in return for the conveyance of such
assets. In the eyes of the Fire Department, the 10 year term is non-negotiable. Indeed,
Blaine is of the opinion that a long-term contract with the Fire Department is certainly in the
best interest of Blaine. Rather than viewing the Fire Department as a contractual adversary,
it is Blaine's position that the willingness of neighbors and citizens to commit to long-term
service as volunteers for an essential safety service is an offer to be applauded and
appreciated. To Blaine, the alternative is unacceptable and unaffordable---developing a full-
time paid Fire Department. In Blaine's view, a long-term relationship with the Fire
Department has a great deal of upside for the Cities and little if any downside.
2. Concern over lack of accountability to elected officials. Recommendation is to state that the
Administrative Committee will review the budget and make recommendations to their
respective City Councils for City Council approval.
4 Mr. Donald Busch
February 22, 1994
Page 3
The Fire Department shall hold the Cities harmless and will defend and indemnify the
Cities for any claims, suits, demands or causes of action for any damages or injuries
based on allegations of negligence or omissions by employees, officers, or agents of the
Fire Department. The Fire Department's duty to indemnify will be limited to its
applicable insurance coverage.
This new language was suggested by LMCIT attorneys upon understanding the nature of the
relationship between the Cities and the Fire Department. Very simply, the Fire Department
as structured in the proposed contract has no independent source of funding other than from
the Cities to whom it provides services. Thus, it has no financial ability to indemnify
beyond the limits of its insurance coverage. On the other hand, no such limit exists for the
Cities. If sued, the Fire Department has no independent source of funds to pay any award
for negligence or omission on the part of agents of the Cities if the award goes beyond the
Cities' insurance coverage. The concern is more academic than real, because in such
instance the Cities would likely wind up paying such sum as a supplemental appropriation to
the Fire Department budget under the contract.
5. We need a copy of the lease agreement which is Exhibit A of the contract before approving
the contract.
A copy of the lease agreement which is Exhibit A was transmitted on February 11, 1994
following some minor tune-ups in the document.
Concerns were also expressed by the City Attorney and City Council that one city has the
authority to make all decisions. We would like to see the joint powers agreement amended
to require agreement by two Cities.
The December 11, 1990 joint powers agreement for the provision of fire protection services
between the Cities provides that "for purposes of determining majority consent at the
Administrative Committee level, or at the City Council level, each City shall have voting
rights which equal its percentage share under the formula at the time such decision is made,
with each such decision being made on the basis of 50%plus approval". Blaine's share
under the formula is nearly 67% and will continue to grow in the future.
There are probably very few business persons in existence willing to make a two-thirds
investment in an enterprise and yield two-thirds control to the minority shareholders of that
enterprise. Regardless, however, the existing arrangement has worked well to the mutual
benefit of all parties. The Cities have received excellent, cost-effective fire service and
operations of the Fire Department in administrative and financial terms have been vastly
improved, all without significant differences of opinion requiring a "vote" to resolve an
issue. Thus, the advantages of a partnership ownership in the contract, albeit it weighted
according to investment, seems far preferable to the alternatives available to each of us.

RE: Spring Lake Park Fire Contract
Dear Samantha:
You asked me to review the proposed contract to furnish fire protection service with
the Spring Lake Fire Department. My comments follow;
1. The second WHEREAS clause states that "nothing in this contract shall be
construed in any manner to alter the existing legal relationship between [the
three cities] and the Fire Department." I am not sure why this provision is
in the agreement. I have reviewed the contract dated May 5, 1986 with the
Fire Department. It appears to me that the new agreement will supersede the
old agreement. Consequently, the intent of the agreement is to supersede and
change the legal relationship with the Fire Department. Leaving this
WHEREAS clause in the contract can create some ambiguity if a disagreement
arises in the future between the Fire Department and the city. One of the
parties could contend that the previous contract could be used to determine
the legal relationship between the parties. I don't believe that this is the
intention in the new agreement. I recommend that the second WHEREAS clause
be deleted.
2. Section 6.6 of the agreement specifies that fire protection services constitutes
"a top priority for the allocation of the Cities' financialou
X�e6 tees." That
paragraph goes on to restrict the city's discretion in determining how to fund
the Fire Department's operating budget. I do not believe that it is wise for
the city to agree to have its discretion controlled in this manner.
3. The term of the agreement is 10 years and is automatically renewable for
successive 10-year
periods unless either party gives a six-month written
notice to terminate. The length of term is discretionary with the city. (The
previous contract provided for a five-year term.)

4. Paragraph 16.2 deals with indemnification. I recommend that this paragraph
be reworded as follows: "Subject to the limitations and restrictions contained
In Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 466, including but not limited to the limits of
liability provision in section 466,04only to the extent of any applicable
insurance coverage, the cities shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Fire Department and the Fire Department shall defend, indemnify the cities
and their respective volunteers and . employees from any claims, suits,
demands or causes of action arising out of loss or damage caused to a person,
persons or property by reason of the negligent acts or omissions of the
! - respective parties' officers, employees or agents."
As an aside, I have not reviewed either the payment schedule set forth in Article V
or Exhibit A to the agreement.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

CONTRACT TO FURNISH FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES
TO THE CITIES OF BLAINE, MOUNDS VIEW AND SPRING LAKE PARK
PROLOGUE
The intent of this contract is to continue the ongoing relationship of 40 years between the
Cities of Blaine, Mounds View, Spring Lake Park, and the Spring Lake Park Fire Department,
Inc.; and to maintain the present mutual understanding thereby lending continuity, stability and
credibility to the volunteer fire fighters to the end that they will continue to serve and maintain the
high level of dedication and enthusiasm that presently exists.
This agreement is effective the 1st day of January, 1994 and is entered into by and
between the Cities of Blaine, Mounds View, and Spring Lake Park, collectively referred to herein
as "Cities", each of which is a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of
Minnesota, and the Spring Lake Park Fire Department, Inc., a Minnesota nonprofit corporation,
hereinafter referred to as "Fire Department".
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Cities of Blaine (herein "Blaine"), Mounds View (herein "Mounds
View"), and Spring Lake Park (herein "Spring Lake Park") are parties to a Joint Powers Agree-
ment for the Provision of Fire Protection Services, dated December 11, 1990 (herein referred to
as the "Joint Powers Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, nothing in this contract shall be construed in any manner to alter the existing
legal relationship between the Cities of Blaine, Mounds View, and Spring Lake Park, or between
any or all of the Cities and the Fire Department.
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Joint Powers Agreement has been and is to be effectuated
in part through the acquisition, construction, furnishing and betterment of land, buildings and
equipment for municipal fire protection, fire fighting, and related public health and welfare
purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Cities enter into this contract pursuant to authority stated in their charters
and applicable statutory provisions, and the Fire Department enters into this Agreement pursuant
to authority of its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws; and
WHEREAS, the Cities own certain land, buildings and other equipment and property used
for fire protection and related public health and safety purposes; and
WHEREAS, the Cities and Fire Department intend that ownership of certain equipment,
land, buildings and other property currently owned by the Fire Department will be conveyed to

Fire Protection Service Contract Page 2
WHEREAS, the Cities will by lease make available such property and equipment to the
Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, the Fire Department is located in the Cities of Spring Lake Park and Blaine,
and maintains a fully-equipped volunteer fire department which includes the necessary personnel,
trucks, fire fighting equipment, and other appurtenances to provide fire protection service to the
Cities; and
WHEREAS, the Fire Department needs and requires payments by the Cities and others to
cover its estimated costs of operation for providing fire protection in the Cities.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties and agreements
herein contained, and the considerations hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
Conveyance of Property
1.1 The Fire Department shall convey all its real property by deed and all its equipment
and personal property used to provide fire protection services by bill of sale to the City of Blaine,
which shall hold said property pursuant to the provisions of the Joint Powers Agreement. The
Fire Department shall convey such property free and clear of all encumbrances. The Cities agree
to lease all such property to the Fire Department under the Lease attached hereto as Exhibit A.
All such real property, equipment and personal property (excluding replaceable, low cost items of
limited useful life) shall be listed on Exhibit A. The lease term shall run concurrently with this
contract.
ARTICLE 2
Services Provided
2.1 The Fire Department agrees to answer all calls for fire protection and related
emergency services by sending out fire fighting equipment and personnel as soon as practical to
such areas within the geographic limits of the Cities as designated by the official maps of the
Cities, not including Metropolitan Airports Commission property, as requested by property
owners in or residents of the Cities.
2.2 The Fire Department agrees to provide fire code inspection services as requested and
paid by the respective Cities.
2.3 The Fire Department agrees to furnish fire service protection and personnel and such
other related emergency services as requested by property owners in or residents of the Cities for
the consideration set forth below, and agrees that its fire fighters will make every reasonable effort
to attend all fires and related emergency occurrences when notified thereof. Provided, however,
in the event the fire fighting equipment or some part thereof with attending personnel is engaged
in fighting fires or in response to emergency calls within the Cities or is engaged pursuant to the
Fire Department's agreements with the Metropolitan Airports Commission, the U.S. Army, the
Capital City Mutual Aid Association, the City of Fridley Fire Department, the Anoka Fire
Protection Council, the City of Andover Fire Department or other mutual aid agreements with
- 2 -
Fire Protection Service Contract Page 3
other communities, said Fire Department will respond to the call as soon as practical. The
judgment of the Fire Chief, or the officer-in-charge of the Fire Department shall be final. Pro-
vided, further, that road and weather conditions are such that the fire run can be made with rea-
sonable safety to the personnel and equipment of said Fire Department.
ARTICLE 3
Department Organization/Methods of Operation
3.1 The Fire Department agrees to remain at all times a nonprofit corporation under
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 317A. It shall be operated exclusively to combat fires, prevent fires
and perform other public safety assistance such as rescue work, emergency medical attention,
natural or man-made disasters, or assistance to police.
3.2 The method of operation shall be determined by the Fire Department including, but
not limited to, (i) apparatus response appropriate to each type of incident or condition; (ii)
emergency or routine response; (iii) manning strength per station; (iv) location of apparatus;
(v) fire dispatching procedures and protocols; (vi) membership in various fire-related
associations; (vii) fire fighter training procedures; and (viii) all other activities usually associated
with a Fire Department.
3.3 The Fire Department is an independent contractor and its members shall not be
considered employees of the Cities paid by the Cities and shall not be entitled to any benefits
usually accorded to regular employees of the Cities and paid by the Cities, including, but not
limited to, such items as severance pay, health and welfare insurance benefits, retirement credit,
workers' compensation coverage or other benefits normally considered to be employee fringe
benefits for regular employees of the Cities.

Payment
Payment for the services provided by the Fire Department shall be as follows:
5.1 Each City shall pay its share of the annual cost for fire protection to the Cities, which
shares shall be determined, unless otherwise agreed by the Cities, using the following formula:
A.C. = (F.C. + A.V.) X (O.C. - O.R.)
(2)
A.C. Annual Cost
F.C. The percentage that the total number of fire calls to each City for the previous
three years bears to the total number of fire calls to the Cities of Spring Lake
Park, Blaine, and Mounds View for the same period.
A.V. The percentage that the Assessed Valuation (unadjusted tax capacity valuation)
of each City bears to the total Assessed Valuation (unadjusted tax capacity valu-
ation) of the Cities.
O.C. Total Budgeted Operating Cost as approved by the Cities.
O.R. Budgeted Non-City Revenues - to include only other contract funds.
5.2 The annual amount determined in 5.1 shall be paid in nine monthly installments by the
15th of each month as follows:
January - March 16% per month
April - September 8 2/3% per month
ARTICLE 6
Determination of Fire Department Budget
6.1 The annual Fire Department budget shall consist of the entire cost of operation of the

of the Spring Lake Park Firemen's Relief Association, which shall be determined pursuant to the
provision of Minnesota Statute 69.774.

copy of the Fire Department's annual financial report, as prepared by its certified public account-
ant, no later than June 15 of each year.

number and magnitude of fire calls which cannot be accurately predicted, and since unexpected or
increased expenses can result from emergencies and other unforeseen circumstances causing
expenditures in excess of anticipated and budgeted amounts, it is agreed that if it is determined at
any time by the Fire Department and confirmed by the Cities that budgetary appropriations are or
will not be sufficient to cover such unexpected or increased expenses, the Cities shall pay to the
Fire Department each City's pro rata share (according to 5.1) of the funds necessary to meet the
unexpected expenses.
6.6 It is agreed-that coritinuity of fire protection services constitutes a top priority for the
allocation of the Cities' financial resources. In the event of any annual revenue shortfall in one or
more of the Cities, it is agreed that the Fire Department operating budget may be reduced on the
same basis as budgets for other services involved in exercise of the safety services of the Cities;
provided that (i) the Fire Department's basic financial needs will be met by the Cities and (ii) the
application of any operating budget reductions will be determined by the Fire Department.

aTJMtiLARy;
In December of 1993, Staff met with representatives of the Department of
Natural Resources to determine the effectiveness of the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) in Mounds View, review local floodplain management
procedures and to assist with any local program related problems: The DNR
is under contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to
conduct these meetings at the local level.
The results of this meeting were two-fold. First, the DNR was able to
provide Staff with review forms and permit applications which can be
incorporated into City, procedures to ensure that all applicable regulations
are addressed at the time of permit review.
The second part of the review focused on the City Flood Plain Ordinance and
its applicability and.compliance with FEMA standards. Based on the review,
the DNR asked Staff to make the changes you see reflected in the attached
copy of Chapter 1301, "Flood Plain Zoning" (Over-struck items are proposed
to be removed; Underlined items are proposed to be added) . The changes are
mostly clarifications of existing requirements and additions of definitions
required by NFIP.
I have included a copy of the letter Staff received from the DNR following
the December review for your information. Also attached is a copy of
Chapter 1301 with the proposed changes and Ordinance No. 535 approving
those changes.

December 27, 1993
The Honorable Jerry Linke
Mayor, City of Mounds View
2401 Highway 10
Mounds View, MN 55112-1499
Dear Mayor Linke:
NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE VISIT
Thank you for the time that Paul Harrington spent with Molly Shodeen, Bret
Anderson and Judy Boudreau on December 8, 1993 to discuss floodplain
management in Mounds View. The meeting was conducted by our staff on behalf of
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in consideration of your city's
continued participation in the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP).
During the course of the meeting, several topics were discussed,some of which
require follow-up action by the city:
1. Your Floodplain ordinance is non-compliant due to 1986 changes to federal
requirements of the NFIP. Mr. Harrington supplied us with a copy of your
ordinance which was most recently revised in 1992. It has since been reviewed
by Mr.Anderson, and received conditional state approval on December 17,
1993. Although federal regulations only allow 90 days from the date of this
visit for amendments to non-compliant ordinances, the deadline was extended
to 90 days from the date of the conditional approval letter, or to March 17,
1994. It is suggested that you attempt to meet the federal deadline with
substantial progress in order to avoid any possible sanctions imposed by
FEMA. Because state law also requires that a proposed local ordinance be
reviewed and approved 30 days prior to adoption, please send any drafts
being considered for adoption to Ms. Shodeen by February 17, 1994.
2. Mr. Harrington is being sent a number of forms, one set having to do with
amendments and revisions to the NFIP maps (to be used for the Harstad
development) and the other set to be used as supplemental zoning
administration forms (or at least to provide ideas for your own permit forms).
The zoning administration forms were developed by DNR to address
common oversights in floodplain/shoreland management decisions which
could have been averted with the proper questions posed. Included in these
forms is a Certificate of Occupancy (Form I) with an Elevation Certificate and
Floodproofing Certificate on the back. We recommend that this form be used
for any construction (or reconstruction) in the floodplain.

3. Mr.Harrington indicated that he could provide us with the information
relating to the issuance of the permit for the Harstad subdivision. In addition,
we would like any information about the background of the Landmark Estates
development,as it relates to the adjacent floodplain. We would appreciate
this information by the end of January, 1994.
4. Because the city is already very pro-active in floodplain management we
would like to advise you of a fairly new federal program--the Community
Rating System (CRS). Administered through FEMA, the CRS program is
designed to reward communities that are doing more than meeting the
minimum floodplain management by providing discounts on flood insurance
premium rates (from 5% to 45% depending on the kind and degree of-
additional floodplain management activities that a community undertakes).
We provided Mr. Harrington with some information to determine if your
current program would automatically qualify Mounds View for the 5%
discount.
In closing, the City is commended for the excellent job of floodplain management
and ordinance implementation. Should you have any questions relating to routine
floodplain management they should be directed to Ms. Shodeen at (612) 772-7910.
If you or your staff have any questions regarding this assessment please contact Judy
Boudreau at (612) 296-9224.
Sincerely,

1301. 01: FINDINGS OF FACT:
Subd. 1. Authorization: The Legislature of the State has, in
Minnesota Statutes chaptcr 104 Chapter 103F and in the Mounds
View Municipal Code, Title 1100, delegated the responsibility to
local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to
minimize flood losses. Therefore, the City Council does ordain as
follows in this Chapter.
Subd. 2 . Findings:
a. Effect of Floods: The flood hazard areas of Mounds View are
subject to periodic inundation which results in potential loss of
life, loss of property, health and safety hazards, disruption of
commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public
expenditures for flood protection and relief and impairment of
the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
b. Methods Used to Analyze Flood Hazards: This Chapter is based
upon a reasonable method of analyzing flood hazards which is
consistent with the standards established by the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources. (Ord. 506, 4-27-92)
1301. 02 : PURPOSE:
It is the purpose of this Chapter to promote the public health,
safety and general welfare and to minimize those losses described
MO522-C Page 1301. 2
in subdivision 1301. 01(2) a of this Chapter by provisions
contained herein. (Ord. 506, 4-27-92)
1301. 03 : APPLICABILITY, SCOPE AND INTERPRETATION:
Subd. 1. Application of Provisions: This Chapter shall apply to
all lands within the jurisdiction of Mounds View shown on the
Flood Plain Zoning Map as being located within the 100-year flood
boundary. These lands are delineated as flood insurance zones
A-i, A-2 , A-3 , A-4, A-6, A-7 or A-H.
Subd. 2 . Interpretation:
a. In their interpretation and application, the provisions of
this Chapter shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall
be liberally construed in favor of the governing body and shall
not be deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted
by State statutes.
b. The boundaries of the zoning districts shall be determined by
scaling distances on the Flood Plain Zoning Map. Where
interpretation is needed as to the exact location of the
boundaries of the district as shown on the Flood Plain Zoning
Map, as for example where there appears to be a conflict between
a mapped boundary and actual field condition, the Planning and
Zoning Commission shall make the necessary interpretation based
on elevations on the regional (100-year) flood profile and other
available technical data. Persons contesting the location of the
district boundaries shall be given a reasonable opportunity to
present their case to the Planning and Zoning Commission and to
submit technical evidence. (Ord. 506, 4-27-92)
1301. 04: DEFINITIONS:
Unless specifically defined below, words or phrases used in this
Chapter shall be interpreted so as to give them the same meanings

average frequency in the magnitude of the 100-year recurrence
interval. Regional flood is synonymous with the term "base flood"
used in the Flood Insurance Study.
Subd. - 14 . REGULATORY FLOOD PROTECTION ELEVATION: An elevation
no lower than one foot (1' ) above the elevation of the regional
flood; except Judicial Ditch No. 1, Hillview and Lois Drive flood

will not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to
special conditions, literal enforcement of the provisions of the
Chapter will result in unnecessary hardship so that the spirit of
the Chapter shall be observed and substantial justice done. No
variance shall have the effect of allowing in any district uses
prohibited in that district, permit a lower degree of flood
protection than the regulatory flood protection elevation for the
particular area or permit standards lower than those required by
1. See Section 1125. 05 of this Code, City Clerk-Administrator to

of Natural Resources a copy of the application for proposed
variance sufficiently in advance so that the Commissioner will
receive at least ten (10) days' notice of the hearing.
Subd. 5. Decisions: The Board shall arrive at a decision on such
appeal or variance within thirty (30) days after public hearing
of such appeal or variance. In passing upon an appeal, the Board

of the Chapter, reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or modify
the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from.
It shall make its decision, in writing, setting forth the
findings of fact and the reasons for its decision. In granting a
variance, the Board may prescribe appropriate conditions and
safeguards such as those specified in subdivision 1301. 12 (7) of
this Chapter which are in conformity with the purposes of this
Chapter. Violations of such conditions and safeguards, when made
part of the terms under which the variance is granted, shall be
deemed a violation of this Chapter punishable under Section
1301. 19 hereof. A copy of all decisions granting variances shall
be forwarded by mail to the Commissioner of Natural Resources
within ten (10) days of such action.
Subd. 6. Appeal to the City Council and District Court: Appeals
from any, decision of the Board may be taken by any persons,
jointly or severally, aggrieved by any decision of the Board or
any taxpayers, officer, department, board or bureau of the
Municipality, to the City Council. The decision of the City
Council may be appealed to the District Court, of this
jurisdiction as provided in Minnesota Statutes 462 . 361. (Ord.
506, 4-27-92)
Subd. 7 . Flood Insurance Notice and Record Keeping: The Zoning
Administrator shall notify the applicant for a variance that:
1) The issuance of a variance to construct a structure below the
base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood
insurance up to amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance
coverage and 2) Such construction below the 100-year or regional
flood level increases risks to life and property. Such
notification shall be maintained with a record of all variance
actions. A community shall maintain a record of all variance
actions, including justification for their issuance, and report
such variances issued in its annual or biennial report submitted
to the Administrator of the National Flood Insurance Program.
1301.08 : FLOOD PLAIN ZONING MAP ESTABLISHED:
The Flood Plain Zoning Map, together with all materials attached
thereto, is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part
of this Chapter. The attached material shall include the Flood
N0522-C Page 1301. 3
Insurance Study for the City of Mounds View prepared by the
Federal Insurance Administration dated March 3 , 1983, and the

Subd. 1. District Established: The flood plain areas within the
jurisdiction of this Chapter are hereby defined to be those areas
delineated A-1 to A-4, A-6, A-7 and A-H on the Flood Insurance
Map attached to the Flood Plain Zoning Map.
Subd. 2 . District Regulations:
a. Permitted Uses: The following uses have a low flood damage
potential and do not obstruct flood flows. These uses shall be
permitted within the F. Z.D. to the extent that they are not
prohibited by any other ordinance and provided they do not
require structures or additions to outside dimensions of existing
structures, fill, excavation or storage of materials or
equipment. In addition, no use shall adversely affect the
capacity of the channels or floodways or of any drainage ditch or
any other drainage facility or system.
(1) Agricultural uses, such as general farming, pasture, grazing,
outdoor plant nurseries, horticulture, truck farming,. forestry,
sod farming and wild crop harvesting.
(2) Industrial-commercial uses, such as loading area or parking
areas.
(3) Private and public recreational uses, such as golf courses,
tennis courts, driving ranges, archery ranges, picnic grounds,
boat launching ramps, swimming areas, parks, wildlife and nature
preserves, game farms, fish hatcheries, shooting preserves,
target ranges, trap and skeet ranges, hunting and fishing areas
and single or multiple purpose recreational trails.
(4) Residential uses, such as lawns, gardens, parking areas and
play areas.
(5) Travel Trailers and travel Vehicles provided they meet the
following criteria: _
(a) Have current licenses required for highway use.

MO522-C Page 1301. 4
system, are attached to the site only by quick disconnect type
utilities commonly used in campgrounds and trailer parks and the
travel trailer/vehicle has no permanent structural type additions
attached to it.
b. Conditional Uses: The following open space uses require
accessory structures (temporary or permanent) or fill or storage
of materials or equipment. These uses may be permitted in the
F. Z.D. only after the issuance of a conditional use permit as
provided in Section 1301. 12 of this Chapter.
(1) Structures accessory to open space uses.
(2) Placement of fill.
(3) Extraction of sand, gravel and other materials.
(4) Marinas, boat rentals, docks, piers, wharves and water

pipelines.
(6) Storage yards for equipment, machinery or materials.
(7) Other uses similar in nature to uses described in
subdivisions la and lb hereofwhich are consistent with the
provisions set out in Section 1301. 02 and this Section.
c. Standards for F. Z.D. Conditional Uses:
(1) All Uses: No structure (temporary or permanent) , fill
(including fill far roads and levees) , deposit, obstruction,
storage of materials or equipment or other uses may be allowed as
a conditional use which, acting alone or in combination with
existing or reasonably anticipated future uses, increases flood
heights. In addition, all F. Z.D. conditional uses shall be
subject to the standards contained in subdivision 1301. 12 (5) of
this Chapter and the following standards of this subdivision 3 .
(2) Fill:
(a) Any fill deposited in the F. Z.D. shall be no more than the
minimum amount necessary to conduct a conditional use listed in

needed to grade or landscape for that use and shall not, in any
way, obstruct the flow of flood waters. Fill shall be properly
compacted and the slopes shall be properly protected by the use
of riprap, vegetative cover or other acceptable method. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established
criteria for removing the special flood hazard area designation
for certain structures properly elevated on fill above the 100-
year flood elevation - FEMA's requirements incorporate specific
fill compaction and side slope protection standards for multi-
structure or multi-lot developments. These standards should be
investigated prior to the initiation of site preparation if a
M0522-C• Page 1301. 5
change of special flood hazard area designation will be
requested.
(b) Spoil from dredging or sand and gravel operations shall not
be deposited in the F. Z.D. unless it can be done in accordance
with subdivision C2a above.
(3) Accessory Structures: Temporary or permanent accessory
structures permitted as conditional uses by subdivision 2b1
hereof.
(a) All structures, including accessory structures, additions to
existing structures and manufactured homes, shall be constructed
on fill so that the basement floor, or first floor if there is no
basement, is at or above the Regulatory Flood Protection •
Elevation. The finished fill elevation must be no lower than one
foot below the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation and shall
extend at such elevation at least 15' beyond the limits of the

Item Description: Consideration of Resolution for Public Hearing on the Question of Establishing
An Economic Development Authority for the City
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report
- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summar/-(attach-supplement-sheets-as necessary.)
,cTTM'Vf ARy:
One of the recommendations of the FOCUS 2000 Business, Growth and
Development Team is to establish an Economic Development Authority. This
recommendation is also consistent with the Council's goal of creating a
mechanism by which the City can enhance its economic development
opportunities.
The purpose of the FOCUS 2000 was to engage community members in the
planning activities for the future of their community. It is clear by the
quality of participation and final report that a number of very dedicated
residents and business owners greatly value having a part in shaping the
' future of Mounds View. To that end, it is a pleasure for staff to present
to the Council and the FOCUS 2000 members the first action step in the
' process of establishing a viable economic development program in the City
of Mounds View.
In order to begin the process, it will be necessary to hold a public
hearing on the establishment of the Economic Development Authority. Because
of the more restrictive publication requirements (published twice, one week
apart and no more than 30 days prior to the hearing) , it is necessary to
schedule the public hearing for the last meeting in March.
. The City's Bond Counsel, Jim O'Meara has been working on the documents
which will formally establish the EDC and will be. present at the March 7th
Work Session to review the procedures with the Council.
