City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7697 Approving Additional Health insurance
Contributions for Non-Union and Public Works Bargaining
Group Employees
Introduction:
The City Council on October 25, 2010 approved resolutions which approved, in part,
additional health insurance contributions to employees in the LELS 204 and LELS 232
bargaining groups (police officers and sergeants). The contributions were made retroactive
to January 1, 2010.
Discussion:
In an effort to treat all employees fairly and equitably, the City Council desires to provide
the same level of additional health insurance contributions for non-union employees and
members of the public works bargaining group, which had previously signed a labor
agreement through 2011. The amount of additional contribution would be $25.13 per
month, per employee, increasing the total contribution to $867.33 per month, per
employee.
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 7697 which approves additional health insurance contributions for non-
union employees and members of the public works bargaining group. The increase to
$867.33 would be retroactive to January 1, 2010.
Respectfully submitted,

2011; and,
WHEREAS, the amount of the additional contribution would be $25.13 per month
per employee, bringing the total monthly contribution up to $867.33; and,
WHEREAS, the increased contribution would be effective retroactive to January 1,
2010.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Mounds
View does hereby approve the additional health insurance contribution of $25.13 per
month for non-union employees and members of the public works bargaining unit, effective

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7689 Approving a Lease and Access License
Agreement with Dell-Comm, Located at 4860 Mustang Circle
Introduction:
The City owns a land-locked parcel adjacent to the south boundary of the Townsedge
Terrace manufactured home park, accessible from Mustang Circle via property owned by
Dell-Comm at 4860 Mustang Circle. The parcel had been the site of the original municipal
water tower and presently is improved with one of the city’s civil defense siren.
Discussion:
In 1994, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing a development agreement
regarding a building expansion with Wolf & Associates, the property owner at the time of
the adjacent property south of the manufactured home park. The resolution (attached) was
conditioned on three points, one of which that Wolf & Associates enter into a lease
agreement for the use of the former water tower site. While Wolf & Associates ultimately
opted against moving forward with their expansion, they did begin to use the City’s parcel,
however no lease was executed. At some point subsequent to 1994, Wolf & Associates
sold to Dell-Comm, who continue to use the City’s parcel believing that Wolf had secured
the requisite approvals. It was not until earlier this year that the City ascertained that no
lease had ever been approved for the private usage of the public property.
In February, staff contacted Jim Freichels, president of Dell-Comm, and met on-site to
discuss potential lease options. Amenable to a formal agreement, staff and Dell-Comm
worked on various terms and financial considerations. Once a tentative agreement on the
terms had been reached, staff asked Kennedy & Graven to prepare the required
documentation—a lease and an easement document—which were then reviewed and
modified by Dell-Comm’s attorney. The revisions were deemed mutually acceptable and
thus were ready for Council consideration.
Lease terms
Three year lease, inclusive of 2010
One-year automatic renewals
Dell-Comm responsible for property taxes on the site
Annual rent $1,000, 3% annual inflator
Dell-Comm provides access license so City can access its parcel

Recommendation:
Consider approval of Resolution 7689 authorizing lease and access license agreements
between Dell-Comm and the City of Mounds View.

at 4860 Mustang Circle, and Midwest Motor Express, located at 2169 Mustang Drive; and,
WHEREAS, Dell-Comm has been using the City’s property for outdoor storage and
parking of equipment and there is a mutual desire to formalize the terms of said usage
through a lease arrangement; and,
WHEREAS, in addition to certain financial considerations, Dell-Comm would agree
to grant the City an access license across their property as a condition of the lease; and,
WHEREAS, a Lease and Access License Agreement, attached as Exhibits A and
B respectively, have been prepared and reviewed by attorneys representing both Dell-
Comm and the City of Mounds View.

use of the Site or reduce the value of the Site, or (iv) to confirm that each party will remain
obligated hereunder to the same extent as if such grant, release, or amendment had not been made,
and the Lessee will perform all obligations under such instrument. The consideration, if any,
received by the City or the Lessee for such grant, release, or amendment shall be the property of the
party receiving such consideration. The Lessee shall provide access to the Site via the Knox Box

(b) If this Lease is not otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or extended
pursuant to Section 3.01(c), it shall terminate as of December 31, 2012.

termination or possession, all personal property located therein which was financed with moneys
provided by the Lessee (unless such removal would result in any claim or lien against the City and
the Site) and which is not otherwise owned by the City, but the Lessee shall repair any damages
caused by such removal.
ARTICLE IV
Use of Site; Additional Covenants
Section 4.01. Use. The City and the Lessee hereby acknowledge that the Site may be used
for storage of materials and equipment of the Lessee only as permitted by the City’s zoning
ordinance and other land use regulations of general application and this Lease. The Lessee shall
not modify the surface area of the Site nor make any excavations at the Site without first
obtaining the express written permission of the City. The City represents and warrants that
during the Term of this Lease, the City shall take no action to rezone the Site which would
prohibit Lessee’s current use of the same.
Section 4.02. Quiet Enjoyment. The City covenants that upon the Lessee’s paying the rent
reserved herein, and performing all conditions and covenants set forth in this Lease, the Lessee shall

Section 4.04. Existing City Civil Defense Equipment. The Lessee acknowledges that the
Site contains civil defense equipment of the City. The Lessee shall take no action to interfere

equipment for repairs, inspection or replacement. The City shall hold Lessee harmless and
indemnify Lessee for all damages, claims or costs incurred, including, but not limited to, damage
to Lessee’s personal property on the Site, resulting from the City or its agent’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct at anytime the City accesses the Site as provided in this Lease.
ARTICLE V
Events of Default and Remedies
Section 5.01. Events of Default Defined. Any one or more of the following events shall be
an "Event of Default" under this Lease:
(a) Failure by the Lessee to pay any payment required to be paid hereunder
within five (5) business days of the time specified herein.
(b) Failure by either party to observe and perform any covenant, condition or
agreement on its part to be observed or performed, other than as referred to in clause (a) of
this Section, for a period of one-hundred twenty (120) days after written notice specifying
such failure and requesting that it be remedied has been given to such party by the other
party, unless the nondefaulting party shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior
to its expiration; provided, however, if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected
within the applicable period, the nondefaulting party shall not unreasonably withhold its
consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted by the other party
within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected.
The provisions of this Section 5.01(b) are subject to the following limitation: if by
reason of force majeure either party is unable in whole or in part to carry out its obligations
under this Lease, it shall not be deemed in default during the continuance of such inability or
during any other delays which are a direct consequence of the force majeure inability, and
the time for such performance shall be extended to cover such delays. The term "force
majeure" as used herein shall mean, without limitation, the following: acts of God; strikes,
lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of public enemies; orders or restraints of any
kind of the government of the United States of America or any of its departments, agencies
or officials, or any civil or military authority, or the State of Minnesota or any of its
departments, agencies or officials; insurrections; riots; landslides; earthquakes; fires; storms;
droughts; floods; explosions; breakage or accident to machinery, transmission pipes or
canals; or any other cause or event not reasonably within the control of a party and not
resulting from its negligence. Each party agrees, however, to remedy with all reasonable
dispatch the cause or causes preventing it from carrying out its agreements.
374126 SJR MU210-5

(c) The Lessee shall: (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of, or the taking
of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee, liquidator or the like of the Lessee or of all
or a substantial part of its property; (ii) commence a voluntary case under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code (as now or hereafter in effect); or (iii) file a petition seeking to take
advantage of any other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up
or composition or adjustment of debts.
Section 5.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default shall have happened
and be continuing, the nondefaulting party may take, but only upon not less than five (5) days'
written notice to the defaulting party, one or any combination of the following remedial steps:
(a) If the Lessee is in default, the City may: (i) without terminating this Lease,
re-enter and take possession of the Site and exclude the Lessee from using the Site until the
Event of Default is cured; or (ii) terminate the Term of this Lease, exclude the Lessee from
use of the Site, and use its best efforts to lease the Site to another for the account of the
Lessee.
(b) If the City is in default, Lessee may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30)
days written notice.
(c) Either party, in addition to the foregoing remedies, may take any other action
at law or in equity which may appear necessary or desirable to enforce performance and
observance of any obligation, agreement, or covenant contained herein.
Section 5.03. Delay; Notice. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing
upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof,
but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. In order to entitle any party to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Lease it shall
not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Lease.
Section 5.04. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
either party is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy given under this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair
any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
Section 5.05. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7699 Approving a Two-Year Labor Agreement
with American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees, Council 5, Local 2686
Introduction:
The City and AFSCME Council No. 5, Local 2686, began negotiations for the 2010-2011
labor agreement in May of 2009. The two parties eventually reached an impasse in
negotiations and scheduled a mediation session. The mediation did not result in a settled
contract and no further negotiation occurred until the LELS Local 204 arbitration ruling was
released in September 2010. Subsequent to the patrol officer arbitration ruling, AFSCME
representatives agreed to settle the two-year contract with no wage increases subject to
retroactive adjustment of health care premium contributions.
Discussion:
The City had previously offered AFSCME members a monthly contribution of $842.22 for
insurance premiums. The arbitrator for the patrol officers’ union ruled that the City’s
contribution (for that group) should be $867.33 per month per employee. In an effort to
maintain internal consistency and equity among employees and bargaining groups, the City
Council was amenable to the retroactive adjustment for AFSCME members as well. Other
proposed changes to the contract would address the problem with holidays on weekends.
AFSCME and City representatives agreed on language that would provide floating holidays
for when Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve fall on a weekend. (The language is
consistent with what is written in the City’s Personnel Manual.) Another change would
increase the comp time balance to a maximum of 60 hours.
The final stipulation to a mutually agreeable contract relates to the implementation of the
amended wage and step progression approved by the City Council in May of 2010, which
introduced a “half-step” at six months rather than a full step. In return for accepting the
revised step progression, the recently hired Public Service Officer (PSO) would be
compensated under the previous step progression, whereby the PSO would be eligible for
a full step increase to Step 2 at six months, with an increase to Step 3 after one year.
Contract Summary:
• Wages: No increase in wages 2010 or 2011
• Insurance Contribution $867.33, retroactive to Jan 1, 2010
• Uniform Reimbursement No Increase 2010 or 2011
• Comp Time Balance Increase max accumulated balance to 60 hours
• Term Two years, Jan 1, 2010 through Dec 31, 2011
• Holidays Language clarified to address holidays on weekends
AFSCME Labor Agreement
November 8, 2010
Page 2
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 7699 which approves a two-year labor agreement with AFSCME
Council 5 Local 2686 with three changes of note—increasing the comp time balance to 60
hours, increasing the monthly health care contribution to $867.33 (retroactive to January 1,
2010) and revising the holiday language to better address what happens when holidays fall
on a weekend.

No one knows when this is going to happen. Mr. Solmonson questioned if the maintenance crew 32
could plow the bus routes first to assure the bus can stay on schedule. 33
34
Mayor Flaherty suggested that staff contact Metro Transit to inquire why the route was changed 35
in times of snow emergencies. If the City could assist with this situation, this would be done. 36
37
City Administrator Ericson agreed with this recommendation and stated he would speak with 38
Metro Transit to see if there was a way to provide notification of future snow emergencies. 39

Regular Meeting Page 2
A. Resolution 7691, Consider a Special Assessment for an Unpaid Diseased Tree 1
Charge. 2
3
Finance Director Beer stated a public hearing was held on October 11, 2010 to receive public 4
input regarding the proposed assessment of unpaid administrative offense fines, diseased tree 5
charges, and unpaid property abatement charges. One individual presented his case to the 6
Council and the Council gave him two weeks to seek a resolution from the prior owner or Title 7
Company. The Council made it clear that if the tree removal charge was not paid in the two 8
weeks that it would be certified to the property taxes. 9
10
Finance Director Beer reported the property owner may pay the amount due by October 25, 2010 11
to avoid the $35 administrative fee. At this point, the City has not received payment and will be 12
forwarding the assessment to Ramsey County for collection with the 2011 property taxes. 13
14
Council Member Mueller questioned if the title company were to pay the homeowner before 15
November 25th if the item would be assessed. Finance Director Beer indicated the amount would 16
not be assessed if paid by November 25th. 17
18
Mayor Flaherty asked if staff had been in contact with the homeowner. Finance Director Beer 19
indicated the matter was to be handled by the homeowner and Staff was available to provide any 20
assistance necessary. 21
22
Mayor Flaherty requested staff speak with the homeowner prior to moving forward with this 23
item. Finance Director Beer did not recommend proceeding in this manner as it was not the 24
responsibility of other tax payers to pay for this diseased tree. 25
26
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7691, 27
Approving a Special Assessment for an Unpaid Diseased Tree Charge. 28

Police Chief Kinney stated on August 9, 2010, the City Council authorized Resolution No. 7660 38
to approve the hiring process from the active eligibility list for the currently vacant Public 39
Service Officer (PSO) position. The opening was created due to the resignation of Jaren Zech on 40
August 13, 2010. This position is a ¾ part time non-sworn employee handling various duties 41
with animals and code enforcement issues. 42
43
Police Chief Kinney met with the Police Civil Service Commission on October 11, 2010 44
regarding the procedures for completing the hiring process and an updated eligibility list of the 45
Mounds View City Council October 25, 2010
Regular Meeting Page 3
following three names was certified by the commission: Craig Swalchick, Ryan Hegarty and 1
Andrew Cherland. The top candidate on the list is Craig Swalchick. A successful background 2
investigation was conducted on Mr. Swalchick. Staff from the Police Department have met with 3
Mr. Swalchick and recommends he be hired to the position. 4
5
Police Chief Kinney seeks Council approval to proceed with appointing Craig Swalchick to the 6
position of Public Service Officer at the step one pay rate according to the AFSCME labor union 7
contract effective October 26, 2010. The current step one rate of pay is $12.73 per hour. 8

Council Member Stigney questioned if one-quarter of the PSO’s time was paid by the Economic 10
Development. Finance Director Beer indicated this was the case. 11

C. Resolution 7684, Authorizing INSPEC, Inc. to Prepare a Roof Management 19
Program and Perform Roof Repair Administration Services. 20
21
Public Works Director DeBar stated Public Works has been investigating the reoccurring roof 22
issues this past year, including a comprehensive roof management program proposal for all City-23
owned buildings. This proposal was presented and discussed at the October 4, 2010 work session 24
and considered for approval at the October 11, 2010 regular Council meeting. The Council seems 25
to be on-board with the proposal, but the City Attorney had a concern with the dispute/resolution 26
article of the consultant-supplied agreement being considered. The Council instructed staff to 27
work with the City Attorney to revise the INSPEC agreement or draft an entirely separate 28
agreement similar to the City Forestry consultant agreement. The City Attorney has reviewed the 29
document and approved the revisions. 30
31
Public Works Director DeBar indicated this agreement is similar to what was drafted for the City 32
Forestry services. City staff that the City Council consider adopting Resolution 7684 authorizing 33
INSPEC to prepare a Roof Management Program and perform roof repair administration services 34
for the higher priority repairs stemming from the Program evaluation. The total fee proposal is 35
$11,400; however, this fee does not include any non-destructive testing that might be required for 36
some roof evaluations. A 10% contingency ($1,100) is recommended to be added to this amount 37
for a budget amount not to exceed $12,500. 38
39
Council Member Mueller stated the contract completion date was on or before March of 2011. 40
She questioned if the contract would then expire if not completed. Public Works Director DeBar 41
indicated this was an established deadline, but the work would be completed by INSPEC before 42
March. 43

D. Resolution 7686, Approving Interior Improvements for the Mounds View 10
Community Center. 11
12
Public Works Director DeBar stated that the Mounds View Community Center was built in 2 13
phases in 1997 and 1998. Since that time the Community Center has had very minimal 14
improvements or changes to the interior. The following bullet points are improvements that Staff 15
has been made aware of through the YMCA Advisory Committee or has determined through 16
evaluation of the building. 17
18
• The furniture is basically of the same quantities and design. The patterns and colors on 19
the furniture are reminiscent of when the original carpet was installed in the Community 20
Center in 1997-98. Through the years the furniture fabric has been torn, stained and 21
defaced. 22
• The wooden chairs that are present in the commons area located by the vending machines 23
have been repaired numerous times and are now in need of replacement. 24
• The accent tables in the commons area were donated some time ago and are in need of 25
replacement. 26
• Due to the nature of the business, the Community Center receives many brochures, 27
magazines and newspapers. At this time, all of the literature is on a table with minimal 28
organization and it is not user friendly in trying to find a specific item. 29
• The 2 televisions that are in the commons area are precariously mounted due to the nature 30
of their size and weight and have been in existence for many years. 31
• The 2 entrance floor mats have been identified as a medium to again implement the City’s 32
logo and give the building ownership. (The mats would have the logo woven into the 33
fabric. Many establishments such as restaurants, military recruiting offices and 34
corporations have these rugs at their entrances.) 35
36
Public Works Director DeBar explained the 2010 budget includes $25,000.00 for furniture 37
upgrades for the Community Center. As outlined previously, there are a few other items in 38
addition to furniture that Staff has been made aware of and has embarked on receiving quotes for 39
them also. Staff has been in contact with MinnCor Industries to assess the furniture needs at the 40
Community Center. The City can purchase furniture through the Cooperative Purchasing Venture 41
(CPV), a members-only program that enables participating governmental units, such as Mounds 42
View, to purchase goods and services under competitive contract terms established by the State 43
of Minnesota. 44
Mounds View City Council October 25, 2010
Regular Meeting Page 5

Public Works Director DeBar indicated staff received a quote for re-upholstering the existing 37 2
pieces of furniture and a quote for new furniture. (MinnCor will also sand down and refinish 3
certain areas on the arms of the chairs where patrons have defaced them.) MinnCor has also 4
offered to loan the City extra furniture that they have in storage during the re-upholstering. It is 5
estimated that the furniture will be picked up and delivered in 3 different phases. As the furniture 6
is taken out to be re-upholstered, the loaned furniture can be moved to “fill in” the vacant areas. 7

• Re-upholstery $16,222.93 (total cost that also includes pickup and delivery) 9
• New $27,927.51 (total cost that also includes pickup and delivery) 10
• MinnCor also provided a quote for (16) new wooden chairs and (2) accent tables at the 11
total cost of $2,154.61. 12
13
Public Works Director DeBar received a cost for (3) brochure/newspaper wall racks in the total 14
amount of $401.40 which includes sales tax and shipping. Staff also received a quote from the 15
Best Buy Government Accounts division for (2) 32” Flat screen televisions to be mounted in the 16
commons areas at the cost of $427.49 each for a total price of $854.98 (includes sales tax). Wall 17
mounting brackets will also need to be purchased. The cost, including sales tax, is $96.18 each 18
for a total of $192.36. Finally, Staff received 3 quotes for the purchase of (2) customized 4’x9’ 19
floor mats. The low bid came from Minuteman Press: $207.60 each (includes sales tax) No setup 20
charges. A total cost of $415.20. 21
22
Public Works Director DeBar recommended the following: 23
24
• Re-upholster the existing furniture in the amount of $16,222.93 25
• Purchase (16) wooden chairs and (2) accent tables in the amount of $2,154.61 26
• Purchase (3) Wall Magazine Racks in the amount of $401.40 27
• Purchase (2) Flat Screen televisions in the amount of $854.98 along with mounting 28
brackets of $192.36 29
• Purchase (2) 4’x9’ indoor floor mats with the City’s logo woven into the fabric for 30
$415.21 31
32
Public Works Director DeBar indicated the total cost of the recommended improvements is 33
$20,241.49. A 5% contingency ($1,008.52) is recommended to be added to this amount in the 34
event that other miscellaneous sales tax, shipping/handling or other unknowns are discovered. 35
This would set the budget amount not to exceed $21,250.00. 36
37
Council Member Stigney asked if there was funding set aside for the heating/air conditioner unit 38
replacement. Public Works Director DeBar indicated the Community Center Fund would cover 39
the expense for the RTU. The furniture improvements would come out of a Special Projects 40
fund. In addition, the roof repair would be completed out of the Special Projects fund. 41
42
Council Member Stigney requested that future purchases come out of the Community Center 43
Fund and not out of Special Project funds. 44

Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 5
6
E. Resolution 7693, Approving a Non-Standard Street Design for Jackson Drive 7
in Area D of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. 8
9
Public Works Director DeBar stated that the Street and Utilities Task Force developed street 10
standards for use in the Street and Utility Improvement Program. The Streets and Utilities 11
Committee reviews and provides recommendations to the City Council for non-standard street 12
and financing issues encountered during implementation of the Program. The Committee 13
reviewed non-standard street design and specific needs issues and considerations for Area D of 14
the Program at their August 16, September 20, and October 18 meetings this year. Staff reviewed 15
the comments made by property owners regarding Jackson Drive being a non-standard street. 16
17
Public Works Director DeBar indicated Bonestroo and City staff developed design and costs 18
options and presented them to the Committee at their August meeting. The Committee decided to 19
move forward with two options. One option (Alternate B) was the standard 28-foot wide street. 20
However, since State-Aid standards apply, there could be no parking on this street width. The 21
second option (Alternate A) was to add a parking lane to one side adding an additional 4-feet to a 22
total width of 32-feet. 23
24
Public Works Director DeBar explained from an engineering standpoint, both options are 25
feasible. The 32-foot width is approximately $40,000 more to construct mainly due to the 26
additional width. From a practicality standpoint, restricting parking at all times on a residential 27
street is not typical and will adversely affect resident’s ability to have garage sales, graduation 28
parties, etc. In addition, many of the comments in favor of Alternate B were based more on 29
speeding and overflow parking issues from Lambert Park, rather than the lack of need for 30
parking. A proposal for dedicated on-street parking at Lambert Park is being developed and will 31
be considered by the Council at a future time. 32
33
Public Works Director DeBar stated the feedback results were discussed at the October 34
Committee meeting. The Committee ultimately recommended (5-1) in favor of Alternate A (32-35
foot wide with parking lane). Furthermore, the Committee recommends having the parking lane 36
on the east side between County Road H2 and Bronson, and on the west side between Bronson 37
and Groberg Street. This was recommended since Lambert Park and fewer properties exist on the 38
east side (south of Bronson), and since only apartment buildings exist on the west side (north of 39
Bronson). City staff and Bonestroo confer with this recommendation. Staff recommends that the 40
City Council consider adopting Resolution 7693 approving a 32-foot wide street design for 41
Jackson Drive with parallel parking on the east side between County Road H2 and Bronson 42
Drive, and parallel parking on the west side between Bronson Drive and Groberg Street. 43
44
Mounds View City Council October 25, 2010
Regular Meeting Page 7
Council Member Hull indicated he spoke with a resident in favor of Alternate B with no 1
additional parking lane. Public Works Director DeBar indicated all streets have to allow for 2
parking, especially State-Aid streets. A minimal standard may have to be created by the Streets 3
and Utilities Committee. 4
5
Council Member Mueller questioned if the parking lane could be used as a trail for pedestrian 6
traffic and bicycles. Public Works Director DeBar explained the parking lane would not be a 7
designated trail but pedestrian traffic could be in this area. 8
9
Council Member Mueller asked if there would be two hour parking near the apartment complex. 10
Public Works Director DeBar indicated this has not been discussed by the Streets and Utilities 11
Committee. 12
13
Jim Battin, Streets and Utilities Committee member, explained the Area D street improvement 14
program was below the limits for Rice Creek Watershed impervious surface requirements. He 15
indicated that a future joint meeting with the Park and Rec Committee to discuss the parking lot 16
situation at Lambert Park. 17
18
Public Works Director DeBar noted several homes along Jackson Drive have extremely short 19
driveways. The City does not want to negatively impact any property with the improvements and 20
may have to put a bend in the road to assure that this does not occur. 21
22
Mayor Flaherty questioned if Jackson Drive was posted no parking at this time. Public Works 23
Director DeBar stated the road was only posted “No Parking” near the park. 24
25
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7693, 26
Approving a Non-Standard Street Design for Jackson Drive in Area D of the Street and Utility 27
Improvement Program. 28
29
Council Member Hull stated he was in favor of Alternate B, as this was the recommendation 30
from the majority of the residents. 31
32
Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Hull) Motion carried. 33
34
F. Resolution 7694, Approving the Construction of a Concrete Sidewalk along 35
County Road H2 Between County Road 10 and Jackson Drive with Area D 36
of the Street and Utility Improvement Program. 37
38
Public Works Director DeBar stated that the Street and Utilities Task Force developed street 39
standards for use in the Street and Utility Improvement Program. He indicated the Sidewalk & 40
Trailway Plan approved with the Comprehensive Plan identifies County Road H2 as a future 41
pedestrian/bicycle corridor. Since Area D of the Program includes reconstruction of St. Stephen 42
Street, Pinewood Court, and Jackson Drive, there is an opportunity to construct a portion of this 43
proposed sidewalk with the Area D project. In addition, storm sewer is required to be extended 44
from Jackson Drive to Pinewood Court to provide better drainage from the court. The storm 45
Mounds View City Council October 25, 2010
Regular Meeting Page 8
sewer construction will require removing/reconstructing the north edge (curbing, boulevard turf, 1
asphalt pavement) of County Road H2 between Pinewood Court and Jackson Drive. 2
3
Public Works Director DeBar explained having the sidewalk in the north boulevard will align 4
better with the bike path in the north boulevard of H2 on the west side of County Road 10. In 5
addition, the south boulevard has fixed obstacles such as trees and parking lot runoff spillways 6
from the Motor Trend property. Approving the Construction of a Concrete Sidewalk along 7
County Road H2 placed in the north boulevard will also deter having to cross H2 when walking 8
to Lambert Park. Residential properties are located on the north side of H2 between Jackson and 9
Program, where commercial properties exist on the south side. City staff met in person with the 10
three affected property owners to discuss the potential 6-1/2 foot concrete sidewalk 11
improvement. This will require some tree removals as well as a short retaining wall just west of 12
Jackson Drive. The entrances to Vino & Stogies will also need to be reconstructed. All property 13
owners unanimously are in favor of the sidewalk improvement. 14
15
Public Works Director DeBar noted the estimated cost to construct the sidewalk is $20,000. 16
However, with the tree removals, commercial entrances, and retaining wall construction, this cost 17
is closer to $35,000. The sidewalk is being recommended at this time since major reconstruction 18
for County Road H2 is currently not programmed. 19
20
Public Works Director DeBar indicated at their October 18, 2010 meeting, the Committee 21
unanimously recommended (6-0) in favor of constructing the concrete sidewalk in the north 22
boulevard of County Road H2 as part of the Area D project. City staff and Bonestroo concur with 23
this recommendation. Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting Resolution 24
7694 approving the construction of a 6-1/2 foot wide concrete sidewalk in the north boulevard of 25
County Road H2, located immediately behind the back of curb, between County Road 10 and 26
Jackson Drive. 27
28
Council Member Stigney questioned if the sidewalk would set back from the street. He asked if 29
asphalt could be used in lieu of concrete. Public Works Director DeBar stated the setback was 30
necessary when mailboxes and street lights were in place. However, along H2 there was a 31
parking lane which provided a buffer from moving traffic. Concrete was chosen for this project 32
as it was smaller, but asphalt could be used. Concrete was more durable over time and the prices 33
between the two growing closer. 34
35
Consulting Engineer Rhein explained asphalt paving machines were not able to complete a 6 ½ 36
foot wide sidewalk unless done by hand, which would be extremely labor intensive. The 37
minimum trail width for asphalt was eight feet. 38
39
Mayor Flaherty asked if the City had the proper equipment to clear a 6 ½ foot wide sidewalk. 40
Public Works Director DeBar indicated the City had did have a machine to clear the concrete 41
sidewalk as this was the standard width and the City would be responsible for clearing the new 42
sidewalk along H2. 43

7

completed before the end of October the City would receive an energy rebate from Xcel in the 10
amount of $720 and a $1,500 rebate from the manufacturer. He noted the new unit also had an 11
economizer function that would assist the City with future cost savings. 12
13
Council Member Stigney questioned if the City had time to entertain another option. Public 14
Works Director DeBar stated the current unit has been red-tagged and can only be used at the 15
City’s risk. The City’s multi-purpose room was not being heated at this time. He indicated 16
Architect Mechanical was able to purchase the new unit and install it within the next week. 17

Finance Director Beer reviewed the quarterly financial report with the Council in detail. He 36
explained revenues were down in the general fund for 2010, in a large part due to the reduction in 37
local government aid. The Community Center Fund has a deficit of $66,000, but payments 38
would be made into this fund in the fourth quarter. Rental revenues were down, but a new client 39
has signed on for rental services. Investments were gaining little interest at this time, but 40
inflation was remaining low. 41

for Delinquent Utility Payments. 19
20
Finance Director Beer stated this item is regarding the proposed assessment of delinquent public 21
utility accounts. Individual notices of the meeting were sent by first class mail to the affected 22
property owners on September 24, 2010. Some of the property owners already have paid, or will 23
pay, the amount due by 4:30 P.M. on Monday, October 11, 2010 in order to avoid the $35.00 24
administrative fee. Owners may prepay the assessment between October 12, 2010 and November 25
11, 2010 without paying additional interest. After that, interest at the rate of 5.5% will accrue 26
from October 11, 2010 through the payment date. On or about November 26, 2010, we will 27
forward the assessment roll, minus any prepayments, to Ramsey County for collection with the 28
2011 property taxes. Staff recommends Council approve the Resolution allowing the Special 29
Assessments for Delinquent Utility Payments to be certified. 30

Hearing no public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. 34
35
Mayor Flaherty questioned why the list was increasing in size. Finance Director Beer stated with 36

quarter to assure these payments are being collected. 38

Unpaid Property Abatement Charges. 2
3
Finance Director Beer stated this item is regarding the proposed assessment of unpaid 4
administrative offense fines, diseased tree charges, and unpaid property abatement charges. 5
Individual notices of the meeting were sent by first class mail to the affected property owners on 6
September 24. The property owner may pay the amount due by 4:30 P.M. on Monday, October 7
11, 2010 in order to avoid the $35.00 administrative fee. The owner may prepay the assessment 8
between October 12, 2010 and November 11, 2010 without paying additional interest. After that, 9
interest at the rate of 5.50% will accrue from October 11, 2010 through the payment date. On or 10
after November 26, 2010, we will forward the assessment roll to Ramsey County for collection 11
with the 2011 property taxes. Staff recommends approval of the Resolution certifying the special 12
assessments for unpaid administrative offense fines, diseased tree charges, and unpaid property 13
abatement charges. 14
15
Mayor Flaherty opened the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. 16
17
Chris Jarvis, 7981 Sunnyside Road, expressed concern about the charges against his property as 18
he purchased the property at the end of February. He explained the trees were tagged in the 19
summer of 2009 and were to be removed in November of 2009. The tree removal fees were not 20
mentioned to him prior to closing on this property. Mr. Jarvis stated the previous owner 21
indicated he would remove the tree and use it for lumber. This did not take place and he has 22
since received correspondence from the City indicating the tree would be removed. He requested 23
the City pass along this fine to the previous owner as this was a lien on the property prior to his 24
occupancy of the home. Mr. Jarvis added that he was also responsible for paying past 25
assessments to the property at closing. 26
27
Mayor Flaherty stated these were extenuating circumstances. He explained his real estate agent 28
should have made him aware of the special assessment prior to closing. 29
30
Hearing no additional public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 7:27 p.m. 31
32
Council Member Mueller questioned how the title company could have closed on this property 33
without making the new owner aware of these assessments. Finance Director Beer indicated the 34
title company was a friend of the previous owner and did not complete the proper lien search. 35
36
Council Member Hull asked if Mr. Jarvis could approach the title company and request they pay 37
the $500 expense. Finance Director Beer stated this would be an option and the City could send 38
proper documentation to the title company. 39
40
Council Member Gunn stated this could be delayed for two weeks, but Mr. Jarvis would still 41
have to handle this issue with the title company or the previous owner. 42
43
Council Member Mueller questioned if Mr. Jarvis could take action to clear his good standing in 44
the community. City Attorney Riggs recommended Mr. Jarvis pursue this further with the title 45

company. 1
2
Mayor Flaherty recommended the Council not take action on Mr. Jarvis’ assessment this evening 3
and that action be taken in two weeks. This would allow Mr. Jarvis to pursue the title company 4
or the previous owner. 5

MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7680, To 7

D. 7:20 p.m. Public Hearing, Resolution 7681, To Consider Special Assessments 14
for Unpaid Service Availability Charges (SAC). 15
16
Finance Director Beer stated this item is regarding the proposed assessment of SAC, which is a 17
pass thru charge from Metropolitan Environmental Services. Individual notices of the meeting 18
were sent by first class mail to the affected property owners on September 27, 2010. The 19
property owner may pay the amount due by 4:30 P.M. on Monday, October 11, 2010 in order to 20
avoid the $35.00 administrative fee. The owner may prepay the assessment between October 12, 21
2010 and November 11, 2010 without paying additional interest. After that, interest at the rate of 22
5.5% will accrue from October 11, 2010 through the payment date and on subsequent 23
installments. On or about November 26, 2010, we will forward the assessment roll to Ramsey 24
County for collection with the 2011 property taxes. Staff recommends approval of the 25
Resolution to certify the special assessments for unpaid service availability charges (SAC). 26

8B. Resolution 7678, Accepting a Donation from Bethlehem Baptist Church in 37
the amount of $16,892. 38
39
City Administrator Ericson noted Bethlehem Baptist Church purchased the building located at 40
5151 Program Avenue in 2004 and received City zoning approval to renovate the former 41
office/warehouse space for church usage. At the same time, the Church expressed its desire to 42
sponsor and support worthy community endeavors and created the Mounds View Service Project 43
Fund pledging annual donations totaling $25,000. They envisioned the fund to be used to help 44

Regular Meeting Page 6
meet certain community needs jointly identified by the city and the Church that would be “in 1
harmony” with their mission and values. 2
3
City Administrator Ericson stated representatives from the City, the Community Center and the 4
Park & Rec Commission met with representatives from Bethlehem Baptist Church on September 5
15, 2010 to discuss potential funding opportunities for the second half 2010 service project fund 6
donation which totaled $16,892. A number of programs and improvements which had been 7
reviewed by the Park and Recreation Commission and City Council were highlighted for 8
Bethlehem’s consideration. Subsequent to the meeting, the Church responded with a letter dated 9
September 30, 2010, recommending the following disbursement schedule: 10
11
1. New Picnic Tables and concrete slabs at City Parks $2,077 12
2. Support for Teen Center at the MV Community Center $8,000 13
3. Sidewalk and ADA Improvements at the Community Center $4,000 14
4. Activities supporting the economic climate of the City $2,815 15
16
City Administrator Ericson recommended approval of the resolution which accepts the donation 17
from Bethlehem Baptist Church in the amount of $16,892 and authorizes the distribution of the 18
donations according to the Church’s recommendations. He thanked Bethlehem Baptist for 19
working with the City and giving so generously to the community’s needs. 20
21
Marshall Seagal, Bethlehem Baptist, thanked the Council for their time this evening and stated 22
the church has been greatly blessed by the partnership with the City. 23
24
Vince Johnson, Bethlehem Baptist, introduced himself and thanked the Council for their 25
commitment to the community. 26
27
Council Member Gunn thanked them both for their commitment to bettering the community. 28
29
Council Member Mueller indicated the funds from Bethlehem Baptist greatly benefit the City 30
and the funds allocated for the sidewalk at the community center were a true blessing. 31
32
Mayor Flaherty thanked both gentlemen for attending the meeting this evening. He thanked 33
Bethlehem Baptist for the generous donation to the City. 34
35
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7678, 36

the sign code. Council was supportive of all the suggestions proposed by City Staff, and directed 1
staff to draft an ordinance making the changes. There also are changes for campaign signs in this 2
ordinance due to the date change of the state primary. On Monday, September 27, 2010, the City 3
Council approved the introduction and first reading of Ordinance 847 that makes several changes 4
to Chapter 1008 about signs, including campaign signs in order to ensure the City Code is 5
consistent with State law. The Council preferred that the non-commercial opinion sign size be 6
limited to six square feet in R-1, R-2 and R-3 zoning districts, and staff has made that change to 7
the ordinance. Staff recommends approval of the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 847. 8

MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Mueller. To Waive the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance 847, 10

F. Resolution 7677, Reapproving the Select Senior Living Final Plat, 18
Development Agreement, Conditional Use Permit and Development Review. 19
20
Community Development Director Roberts stated on October 27, 2008, the City Council passed 21
Resolution 7347, which approved the final plat and development agreement for the Select Senior 22
Living development. This was the last of the Council actions required in order for the project to 23
move forward. Per City Code, an applicant has 120 days to record the plat with Ramsey County, 24
and if the recording does not happen within this timeframe, the plat approval is void. The code 25
also states that the plat can be reapproved and the applicant given up to another 120 days. Due to 26
the shakeup within the banking industry, Select Senior Living was not able to start the project 27
within 120 days of City approval and their final plat and development agreement approval 28
became void. 29
30
Community Development Director Roberts indicated Select Senior Living, represented by Joel 31
Larson, has submitted a letter requesting that the City re-approve their planning requests once 32
again. Mr. Larson is asking for a 120-day re-approval of the final plat and development 33
agreement. These would then expire on February 9, 2011. Also approved by the City Council in 34
October 2008 for this project was a conditional use permit and the development review. The 35
conditional use permit approval also expired due to non-use within one year. Select Senior 36
Living also is asking for re-approval of their conditional use permit to allow senior housing in a 37
R-4, high density residential district. Staff suggests that the Council also re-approve the 38
development review to help ensure there is a clear and consistent record of City approvals for this 39
project. The Planning Commission re-approved the variances for this project on Wednesday, 40
October 6, 2010. Staff recommends that the City Council pass the Resolution. 41

G. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 852, an Ordinance Amending 4
Chapter 1002 of the Mounds View City Code about Recreational Fire 5
Regulations. 6
7
City Administrator Ericson stated that at the August 2, 2010 and September 7, 2010 work 8
sessions, the City Council discussed issues regarding recreational fires and the impacts of such 9
fires on neighboring property owners. The Spring Lake Park – Blaine – Mounds View Fire 10
Department regulations were reviewed as were policies and regulations from many other cities. 11
One of the primary concerns expressed by residents relates to enforcement. The secondary issue 12
is the impact of one neighbor’s recreational fire upon another neighbor. City Administrator 13
Ericson reviewed the changes from the present Fire Department regulations contemplated by 14
Ordinance 852 as the following: 15
16
• Wind speed restrictions (no rec fires when winds exceed 10 mph) 17
• No recreational fire within 15 feet of a property line 18
• Manufactured fire pits shall be set back a minimum 15 feet from combustible 19
materials or structures 20
• Recreational fires prohibited when burning ban or air advisory in effect 21
22
City Administrator Ericson explained in response to concerns raised by both Mounds View and 23
the City of Blaine, the Fire Department has updated its regulations pertaining to recreational 24
fires. There are two differences, the first being the height of the fire. Ordinance 852 limits the 25
height of a fire to no more than two feet while the Fire Department regulation allows for fires up 26
to three feet. The other difference is with the setback of freestanding manufactured fire pits. 27
Ordinance 852 requires a minimum fifteen foot setback while the Fire Department regulations 28
allow for a ten foot setback; however the Fire Department regulation requires that such devices 29
be equipped with side screens and a cover. Fire Chief Zikmund is aware of the differences. Staff 30
recommends approval of the Ordinance. 31
32
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance 852, 33
an Ordinance Amending Chapter 1002 of the Mounds View City Code about Recreational Fire 34
Regulations and to publish a summary of the Ordinance as authorized by City Charter. 35

H. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 854, an Ordinance Amending 2
Chapter 515 of the Mounds View City Code about the Licensing of Tattoo 3
and Body Art Establishments. 4
5
City Administrator Ericson stated that during the last legislative session, a new law was adopted 6
to regulate body piercing and other body modification services (comprehensively referred to as 7
“body art” establishments) in Minnesota. Mounds View has had provisions regulating these 8
businesses since 2000, when the City Council adopted Ordinance 663. No such business ever 9
located in the community, although there have been a few inquiries over the years. 10
11
City Administrator Ericson noted the Council reviewed the proposed revisions at their work 12
session meeting on September 7, 2010 and was generally supportive of the changes. On 13
September 27, 2010, the Council approved the first reading and introduction of the ordinance. 14
No changes or revisions have been made from the version presented September 27th. Staff 15
recommends approval of the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 854. 16

I. Resolution 7684, Authorizing INSPEC, Inc. to Prepare a Roof Management 27
Program and Perform Roof Repair Administration Services. 28
29
Public Works Director DeBar stated that this item is regarding a roof management plan for the 30
City’s 16 separate buildings. He indicated a comprehensive approach was being taken to manage 31
the roofs as there was over 100,000 square feet of roofing area and many of these roofs are 32
original and will need to be repaired or replaced in the near future. The City contacted several 33
companies and received two proposals from qualified consultants for the Roof Management 34
Program for fee amounts of $8,900 and $13,400. He recommended this plan proceed and be 35
completed before winter to assess the roofs and complete the necessary repairs. These expenses 36
were not included in the 2010 budget, but roof improvements could be completed under the 37
Special Projects account for the intermediate rehabilitation work to the Public Works facility. 38
Staff recommends authorizing INSPEC to prepare a Roof Management Program and perform 39
necessary roof repair for the higher priority repairs stemming from the Program evaluation. 40
41
Council Member Stigney questioned if INSPEC would be working as an independent contractor. 42
City Attorney Riggs stated this would be the best arrangement as INSPEC would be working on 43
behalf of the City. 44
45
Mounds View City Council October 11, 2010

Public Works Director DeBar stated he would prepare the proper agreement and paperwork for 1
INSPEC. He noted he would be coming back to the Council with a Resolution for additional 2
repair recommendations. 3
4
City Administrator Ericson stated he would forward the each Council Member a copy of the 5
changes to the INSPEC agreement. Mayor Flaherty agreed with this recommendation. 6
7
Council Member Mueller requested the roof repairs be pursued in a green manner as this may 8
allow for several grant opportunities. 9
10
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 7684, 11
Authorizing INSPEC, Inc. to Prepare a Roof Management Program and Perform Necessary Roof 12
Repair in an amount not to exceed $12,500, and that the Contractor execute and enter into the 13
City’s Independent Contractor Agreement, drafted as applicable to this matter. 14
15
Council Member Stigney wanted to be assured that the Council would review the independent 16
contract agreement prior to work commencing and asked for an amendment to the motion. City 17
Attorney Riggs recommended that the item be tabled to the next meeting to allow the Council to 18
review the agreement. 19
20
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Postpone Resolution 7684, 21
Authorizing INSPEC, Inc. to Prepare a Roof Management Program and Perform Necessary Roof 22
Repair until Council can review the Independent Contractor’s Agreement at the October 25th 23
Council Meeting. 24
25
Council Member Mueller expressed concern about postponing the Roofing Program further as 26
several roofs were in need of repair. Public Works Director DeBar stated this was the case as 27
winter weather was drawing closer and the report needed to be completed prior to receiving bids. 28
29
Mayor Flaherty stated he did not see the urgency as the management program as it would provide 30
a plan for the future. 31
32
Council Member Stigney stated he was aware the roofs were in poor condition and in need of 33
repair. This was not new information to the Council. He questioned when the roof management 34
plan would be brought back to the Council. City Attorney Riggs stated this report would be back 35
to the City 30 days after signing the agreement. 36

Notable Phone Call:
The following voice mail message was left with PW on October 14, 2010 from a resident living in the
5300 block of Irondale Road:
“I just had to stop and take a minute and call you and say thank you for everything - you and
everybody that’s involved in the street project. I’m sure it has been a big headache for you, but let
me tell you; I used to think for years that I lived in North Minneapolis, but now when I come home
and drive down my street, I feel like I live in North Oaks. Thank you all so very, very much - I really
appreciate it.”
Respectfully submitted,
