PROCLAMATION
BUILDING SAFETY WEEK 2009
May 3 – 9, 2009
Whereas, our city’s continuing efforts to address the critical issues of safety, energy efficiency and
sustainability in the built environment that affect our citizens, both in everyday life and in times of natural
disaster, give us confidence that our structures are safe and sound, and;
Whereas, our confidence is achieved through the devotion of vigilant guardians—building safety and fire
prevention officials, architects, engineers, builders, laborers and others in the construction industry—who
work year-round to ensure the safe construction of building, and;
Whereas, these guardians—dedicated members of the International Code Council—develop and implement
the highest-quality codes to protect Americans in the buildings where we live, learn, work and play, and;
Whereas, the International Codes, the most widely adopted building safety, energy and fire prevention
codes in the United States, are used by most U.S. cities, counties and states; these modern building codes
also include safeguards to protect the public from natural disasters such as hurricanes, snowstorms,
tornadoes, wild fires and earthquakes, and;
Whereas, “Building Safety: Where You Live, Work and Play,” the theme for Building Safety Week 2009,
encourages us to raise awareness of the importance of building and fire safety; green and sustainable
building; pool, spa and hot tub safety; and new technologies in the construction industry. Building Safety
Week 2009 acknowledges that countless lives have been saved due to the implementation of safety codes by
local and state agencies.
Whereas, each year, in observance of Building Safety Week, Americans are asked to acknowledge the
essential service provided to all of us by local and state building departments and federal agencies in
protecting lives and property.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Joe Flaherty, Mayor of the City of Mounds View, do hereby proclaim May 3
through May 9, 2009, as:
“Building Safety Week 2009”
in The City of Mounds View, and I call upon all citizens to join their fellow Americans in participating in
Building Safety Week by embracing efforts to improve building safety.
Given under my hand and Seal of the City of Mounds View, this 27th day of April 2009.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Kathi Osmonson, Building Official/Fire Marshal
Item Title/Subject: PROCLAMATION FOR BUILDING SAFETY WEEK 2009
INTRODUCTION
Building Safety Week will be celebrated across the nation and around the world during the
week of May 3 through 9, 2009. Building Safety Week raises public awareness of building
safety by promoting the use, enforcement and understanding of building safety and fire
prevention codes. The purpose of these codes is to help protect lives and property.
“Building Safety: Where You Live, Work and Play” is the theme of Building Safety Week
2009.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The International Code Council Foundation, an organization dedicated to changing the
devastating effects of natural disasters and other building tragedies at home and around the
world, sponsors Building Safety Week. It was first observed in 1980.
All of the code enforcement officials in the City work to ensure the structures that you and
your families live, work and play in are safe. The City of Mounds View is an active member
of the International Code Council (ICC), an association that develops building safety and fire
prevention codes in use by more than 15,000 jurisdictions across the United States.
The Community Development Department uses Building Safety Week to educate the
community. It is an opportunity to increase public awareness of the role building safety and
fire prevention officials, local and state building departments, and federal agencies in the
protection of lives and property. These officials and inspectors are the “silent defenders”
who the public rarely sees but work daily to ensure safety in the built environment. Mounds
View can demonstrate our commitment to building safety and fire prevention in our city by
adopting the attached proclamation designating May 3 through 9, 2009 as Building Safety
Week 2009.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached proclamation for Building Safety
Week 2009.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To:Honorable Mayor and City Council
From:Joe Rhein, Consulting Engineer
Item Title/Subject:Resolution 7447 Adopting the Local Surface
Water Management Plan
Background:
On June 23, 2008 the City Council adopted Resolution 7299 authorizing
Bonestroo to prepare the Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP) for
the City. An approved LSWMP is a requirement for approval of the overall
Comprehensive Plan Update.
On February 2, 2009 the City Council reviewed a complete draft version of the
LSWMP, referred to as the Agency Review Draft.
On February 9, 2009 the City Council adopted Resolution 7408 granting
preliminary approval to the Agency Review Draft of the LSWMP and authorizing
distribution to review agencies.
On March 16, 2009 the City received review comments from the Rice Creek
Watershed District (RCWD), which incorporated review comments from the
Metropolitan Council. Bonestroo prepared a final LSWMP in early April 2009,
addressing the comments.
On April 13, 2009 the City Council adopted Resolution 7439 authorizing
preparation of the required mapping components of the Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit held by the City. The MS4 mapping
components were to be combined with the LSWMP mapping components for
efficiency and cost savings.
On April 22, 2009 the RCWD Board of Managers passed Resolution 2009-16
approving the final Mounds View LSWMP dated April 2009.
April 27, 2009 Item No. 7D

Discussion:
LSWMP Approval Process
Upon receiving review comments from the RCWD and the Metropolitan Council,
Bonestroo prepared a final version of the LSWMP (dated April 2009) and a
response letter to address the RCWD comments. The response letter included
the pages from the LSWMP that were revised to address the comments. A total
of eight pages were revised, and also the overall stormwater system map. A
copy of the response letter, the revised LSWMP pages, and revised map are
attached to this Staff Report for reference.
For the sake of convenience, only those revised pages and the revised map from
the LSWMP are provided with this Staff Report. Should Council wish to review
any other portion or the entire LSWMP, they are referred to their copy of the
Agency Review Draft, from the City Council work session of February 2, 2009.
Pursuant to Minnesota Statute 103B.235, Mounds View’s LSWMP dated April
2009 was reviewed and approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District on April
22, 2009. The approval letter from the RCWD and the RCWD Board of Managers
Resolution 2009-16 approving the LSWMP dated April 2009 are attached to this
Staff Report for reference.
According to Minnesota Statute 103B.235, Mounds View shall adopt the
approved LSWMP within 120 days of approval by the RCWD. The LSWMP is
adopted via resolution. Resolution 7447 has been prepared for this purpose, and
is included with this Staff Report.
Once the LSWMP is adopted by the City, a copy will be forwarded to the RCWD
for their file. A copy of the adopted LSWMP must also be forwarded to
Metropolitan Council, along with the dates of RCWD approval and City adoption
of the LSWMP. Copies of Resolution 2009-16 from RCWD and Resolution 7447
from the City will be provided to the Metropolitan Council as proof of the dates.
MS4 Mapping Components
The MS4 permit is administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and
is not under the jurisdiction of RCWD. Therefore, only those revisions to the
Stormwater System Map necessary to address the RCWD comments were
completed for submittal and approval at the RCWD April 22, 2009 Board
meeting. Therefore, the copy of the Stormwater System Map included with this
Staff Report, which is the version that was provided to RCWD, is not the final
version that includes the MS4 information.
However, as authorized by the City Council under Resolution 7439, Bonestroo
has updated the Stormwater System Map in the LSWMP to include the required
information in accordance with the MS4 permit. The combined map is going
through final review by City Staff now, and is anticipated to be printed in its final
form on April 27, 2009.
April 27, 2009 Item No. 7D
Page 3
The completed Stormwater System Map including the MS4 information will be
included in the final hard copy versions of the LSWMP, as well as the electronic
copy provided to the City.
Schedule:
Mounds View received an extension to May 1, 2009 from the Metropolitan
Council for the approval of their overall Comprehensive Plan Update. Assuming
the LSWMP is adopted by the City Council on April 27, 2009, a copy of the
adopted LSWMP will be delivered to the Metropolitan Council by May 1, 2009,
which is consistent with the schedule for the Comprehensive Plan Update.
Delivery of the adopted LSWMP to the Metropolitan Council completes the work
for the preparation of the LSWMP.
Recommendation:
Resolution 7447 has been prepared to officially adopt the Mounds View Local
Surface Water Management Plan. The Resolution is included with this Staff
Report for consideration by the City Council. Staff recommends the City Council
adopt Resolution 7447.

2.4 GEOLOGY
The geology of the region surrounding Mounds View is the result of two different geologic
processes:
Warm, shallow seas covered the area and created conditions for the formation of
sedimentary rocks. These formations are present as bedrock in the area.
Glacial processes have resulted in the development of surficial geology, and therefore,
current landforms.
The City’s geology is generally ranges from 150 to 300 feet of glacial till and outwash overlying
sedimentary bedrock. The bedrock units beneath the City are marine sedimentary rocks primarily
of the Upper Cambrian to Middle Ordovician ages (450 to 500± million years old). Ranging from
deeper/older bedrock to relatively shallow/young bedrock, the specific geologic units include the
St. Lawrence/Franconia formation, Jordan Sandstone, and the Prairie du Chien group.
Glacial influence on this area began around 2.5 million years ago and continued until about
10,000 years ago. However, the last episode of glaciation created the present landscape features
in this area and across Minnesota. This episode lasted from about 35,000 to about 10,000 years
ago. Two major glacial ice sheet movements constituted this episode during what is known as
the late Wisconsin glaciation. The first, the Superior lobe, advanced from the north. The second,
the Grantsburg sublobe, advanced from the southwest.
In one period of retreat during the Superior lobe glaciation, melt waters deposited a thick layer of
glacial outwash made up of sand and gravel over a widespread area including Mounds View.

2.7.1 MISSISSIPPI RIVER
All of Mounds View’s surface runoff reaches the Mississippi River, via Rice Creek. The Mississippi
River and its tributaries form the largest river system in North America, draining about 40 percent
of the continental United States. Mounds View is located in the Middle Mississippi River Basin
(upstream of Saint Anthony Falls) of the Upper Mississippi River (upstream of St. Louis, MO).
According to the US Geological Survey, at gauging station Number 05288500, located at 95th
Street in Coon Rapids, the normal elevation of the river is approximately 804.5 feet.
The DNR classifies the Mississippi River as a warm water game fish resource. It is a DNR
Protected Watercourse and has a varying ordinary high water elevation that generally coincides
with the top of the riverbank.
2.7.2 PUBLIC WATERCOURSES
There are two public watercourses identified in Mounds View: Rice Creek and Anoka/Ramsey
Judicial Ditch 1. Although not identified by the DNR as a public water, Spring Creek is another
valuable watercourse within the City. There is also a historic unnamed ditch in the south central
portion of the City (within the Edgewood Drainage District) that has since been primarily
converted to storm sewer.
Rice Creek, which runs through the southeast portion of the City, is a relatively large watercourse
with a drainage area of approximately 200 square miles. All of the 2,630 acres of the City of
Mounds View drains to Rice Creek via various discharge points and conveyance routes through
the City. According to a recent survey by DNR Fisheries, Rice Creek has two different types of
fisheries. From its confluence with the Mississippi River up to the Locke Lake dam, the game fish
species composition is similar to that found in the Mississippi River (catfish, smallmouth bass,
walleye and northern). Above Locke Lake and upstream to where Rice Creek crosses into the City
of Mounds View, game fish are limited to fingerling size walleye.
Anoka/Ramsey Judicial Ditch 1 drains the southern portion of the City of Blaine within the
jurisdiction of the RCWD, through the northeast corner of Mounds View, prior to exiting the City
under I-35W and discharging into Rice Creek. Branch 5 of Judicial Ditch 1 crosses under Hillview
Road and Greenfield Park, and ties into Judicial Ditch 1 within the northeastern portion of
Mounds View.
Spring Creek is located in the far southwestern corner of the City. It extends from Woodcrest
Park, crossing both Silver Lake Road and Knollwood Drive before it turns to the south. At County
Road H, Spring Creek enters the City of New Brighton approximately midway between Knollwood
Drive and Pleasant View Drive, discharging to Rice Creek a short distance downstream, and
ultimately to the Mississippi River. The entire tributary drainage area to Spring Creek at the
southern Mounds View city limits is approximately 323 acres.
2.7.3 LAKES
Spring Lake (DNR ID 2-71P) is located on the western border of the City, on its border with
Spring Lake Park. Spring Lake is approximately 60 acres in size, with a maximum depth of
approximately 18 feet. The location of this lake is identified on Figure 2.3 and Map 1 in
Appendix A.
City of Mounds View Page 11
Local Surface Water Management Plan 435-08-135
2.7.4 WETLANDS
There are several wetland basins identified in the City’s 2006 Wetland Inventory. Eight of these
are DNR protected waters, Spring Lake, Silver View Pond, and 5 unnamed wetlands as identified
on Figure 2.3.
Most of the wetlands in Mounds View are isolated wetlands scattered throughout the City,
however one will find a large wetland on the northern border of the City near Ardan Park and the
Medtronic Campus (the former Bridges Golf Course) and along the floodplain of Rice Creek in
Long Lake Park. The locations of all wetlands within Mounds View are identified on Figure 2.3.
Silver View Pond, located south of TH 10, between Long Lake Road and Silver Lake Road, was
created in 1982 to provide stormwater storage for developments proposed within its drainage
area. The pond was designed to have three distinct arms or basins with narrow connections
between each to retard the movement of sediment and nutrients toward the outlet.2
2.8 NATURAL RESOURCES
The City of Mounds View includes no regional open space elements. Significant local open space
elements are in the form of parks, trails, lakes, wetlands, and a public beach. Current City parks
incorporate traditional park amenities such as athletic fields, hockey rinks, picnic areas, play
areas, and pedestrian trails.
Many of the eleven parks provide trailways throughout. The City's main sidewalks can be found
along Silver Lake Road, Long Lake Road, County Road I and Quincy Street. Otherwise, local
sidewalks within street boulevards carry the bulk of pedestrian traffic within the City.
2.8.1 RARE FISH,WILDLIFE AND PLANT SPECIES
According to the DNR's County Biological Survey, "rare plants or animals are either protected
under the provisions of the Federal or Minnesota Endangered Species Acts, or are being
considered for protection.” According to the DNR's database of unique and sensitive plant species
there are natural wetland plant communities and rare animal special found in Rice Creek
Watershed District, however none of these are found in Mounds View.
2.9 DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
The City's drainage system is divided into eleven drainage districts and 45 drainage subdistricts,
as shown on Map 1 in Appendix A. Ultimately all eleven drainage districts within the City flow into
Rice Creek through various storm sewer connections and drainageways.
The bulk of Mounds View‘s surface water management system was built prior to 1980. As was
the practice at that time, surface water management relied heavily on large diameter trunk storm
sewer to route runoff away from impervious areas quickly and discharge this runoff directly into a
nearby receiving waterbody. In many areas of the City, the primary means for conveying
stormwater runoff is within existing streets. At points where flows from several streets converge,
catch basins are installed to route flow into storm sewer.
The City’s current drainage system resulted from the economic realities prevalent during system
construction in the 1960s and 1970s. As such, it does not meet the City’s current 5-year storm

3.4.1 RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT (RCWD)
The Rice Creek Watershed District encompasses approximately 201 square miles of Anoka,
Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington counties in Minnesota. Portions of the RCWD are in the
following municipalities: Arden Hills, Birchwood Village, Blaine, Centerville, Circle Pines, Columbia
Heights, Columbus, Dellwood, Falcon Heights, Forest Lake, Fridley, Grant, Hugo, Lexington, Lino
Lakes, Mahtomedi, May Township, Mounds View, New Brighton, Scandia, Roseville, Shoreview,
Spring Lake Park, Saint Anthony, White Bear Lake, White Bear Township and Willernie.
The Rice Creek Watershed District updated their Management Plan in 2000 and adopted their
rules on February 13, 2008. This LSWMP will reflect these updated rules and a copy of the RCWD
rules is included in Appendix B. The RCWD is currently in the process of completing a Third
Generation update to their Water Resource Management Plan. Mounds View will cooperate with
this Third Generation Plan Update process and looks forward to the successful completion of the
updated RCWD Water Resource Management Plan.
The RCWD is active in the regulatory process including issuing permits to ensure that property
owners and land users manage water resources in the District according to RCWD goals and
policies. In general, as defined in the RCWD rules, the types of projects that the RCWD requires
permits for include:
Land development and redevelopment
Road projects
Trail projects
Utility projects
City of Mounds View Page 22
Local Surface Water Management Plan 435-08-135
to preserve floodplain and wetland storage capacity, to improve the chemical, physical and
biological quality of surface water, to reduce sedimentation, to preserve waterbodies' hydraulic
and navigational capacity, to preserve natural wetland and shoreland features, and to minimize
public expenditures to avoid or correct these problems in the future.”10
As the vast majority of City of Mounds View is fully developed, the primary application of the new
RCWD rules will be for City street projects and redevelopment projects. The City is currently in
the process of applying for a RCWD permit for the first City project (2009-2010 Street and Utility
Improvement Project) permitted under the new rules.
One should note that the previous RCWD water quality and volume requirements have been
revised in the new rules. Unless specific site conditions afford an exception (as outlined in the
rules), the new rules combine the water quality and volume control requirements into a single
infiltration requirement, with the depth of runoff to be infiltrated varying depending on the type
of project. The City will defer the enforcement of the RCWD Water Quality and Volume Control
(Rule C) requirement to the RCWD and coordinate permitting efforts with the RCWD. The 2008
RCWD rules are included in Appendix B.
4.4 SOUTHWEST URBAN LAKE STUDY REPORT AND MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN
The RCWD recently completed Phase I of the Southwest Urban Lake Study. This study analyzed
24 urban lakes in the southwest portion of the RCWD, which included Spring Lake. This report
detailed the first phase of a two-phase study, which included:
An assessment of existing lake quality data
Lake-bottom sediment sampling and analysis
Delineation of sub-watersheds boundaries and land use determinations for each lake studied
Listing of current impairments for the 24 lakes studied
Summary of available lake quality data
Recommendations for additional lake quality monitoring via the Metropolitan Council’s Citizen
Assisted Monitoring Program (CAMP)
Identification of available in-lake and watershed BMPs to address impairments of the lakes
studied
The report identifies Spring Lake as a shallow basin due to a littoral are that encompasses nearly
90% of the lake. The existing lake quality data for Spring Lake is limited, with only one full year
of sampling in the last ten. The report recommends that Spring Lake be added to the CAMP in
2008 to begin to compile additional lake quality data. The report also notes that Spring Lake has
experienced significant water level fluctuations in the recent past. New data could provide insight
into the level of impact the water level fluctuations are having on lake quality.
Phase II of this Southwest Urban Lakes Study will focus on soliciting input from lake stakeholders
to identify any “impairments” to the beneficial uses they identify. This phase will use the existing
lake quality data and identified impairments to develop Management Action Plans (MAPs) for
each of the 24 lakes studied. The MAPs will recommend specific BMPs to address the
impairments to the beneficial uses identified. A draft MAP for Spring Lake has been completed.
Mounds View had the opportunity to review and comment on the draft Spring Lake MAP and the
RCWD is currently incorporating the City’s comments into the final MAP. There is a discussion of
future implementation of the MAPs in the Implementation Section (Section 8.5.2) of this LSWMP.

8.5 POSSIBLE FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION ACTIVITIES
These activities generally include coordination efforts other agencies or potential future activities
that have yet to be finalized. These future implementation activities identified below are relevant
to overall surface water management within the City and should be considered in future Capital
Improvement Plan discussions.
8.5.1 FUTURE TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD (TMDL)STUDIES
As discussed in Section 6.4, there is one waterbody within the City of Mounds View currently
identified on the state list of Impaired Waters: Rice Creek (between an unnamed lake and Long
Lake). In addition, three waterbodies that are outside of the City but receive discharge from the
City are also on the state list of Impaired Waters: Long Lake, a downstream stretch of Rice
Creek, and the Mississippi River.
The City recognizes that the responsibility for completion and implementation of the TMDL
studies lies with the primary stakeholders contributing to the impairment. The City intends to
cooperate with the RCWD and other agencies in the development of the TMDL studies,
acknowledging that these outside agencies will take the lead on these studies. It is the intention
of the City to implement the items/actions identified in future TMDL Implementation Plans,
funding the implementation items/actions as necessary.
8.5.2 COORDINATE WITH RCWD TO ADDRESS DEGRADED WATER QUALITY IN SPRING LAKE
The RCWD is in the process of finalizing the Management Action Plan (MAP) for Spring Lake as
Phase II of the Southwest Urban Lakes Study. With the completion of the MAP, the City will likely
incorporate specific implementation recommendations (either watershed management or in-lake
management recommendations) where the City is identified as a contributing partner to address
the degraded water quality in Spring Lake. Mounds View is interested in partnering with the
RCWD to complete both in-lake vegetation management and water quality retrofit projects aimed
at improving the lake water quality, however, no specific activities are identified in the City’s list
of system improvement activities (Table 8.3).
The RCWD identifies specific programs on their website (www.ricecreek.org) that are available to
provide funding assistance to Mounds View for stormwater management improvements,
including:
RCWD Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost-Share Program
RCWD BMP Cost-Share Program
8.5.3 URBAN WATER QUALITY RETROFIT PROJECTS
The City will look for opportunities in developed areas to install retrofit water quality
improvement BMPs to improve the overall water quality in the Mounds View. The City will
consider working with private property owners to implement improvement projects, using the
City’s Stormwater Infiltration Program as a model to accomplish these retrofit improvements.The
RCWD identifies specific programs on their website (www.ricecreek.org) that could be applied
when partnering with Mounds View, including:
RCWD – Urban Stormwater Remediation Cost-Share Program
RCWD – BMP Cost-Share Program
8.6 POTENTIAL FUNDING
Implementation of the proposed studies, programs, and improvements identified in this plan will
affect City finances. A review of the City’s ability to fund these studies, programs, and

City Administrator Review _______ City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Clerk-Administrator
Item Title/Subject: First Reading of Ordinance 820, an Ordinance Revising
Section 611.04 of the City Code Pertaining to Outdoor
Special Events
Background:
On September 22, 2008, the Mounds View City Council adopted an Outdoor Special
Event provision into the City Code. The purpose of adding the provision was to promote
the health, safety, and welfare of all residents and visitors of the City by ensuring that
special events do not create disturbances, become nuisances, threaten life, health and
property, and disrupt traffic or damage private or public property.
Discussion:
At the April 13, 2009, City Council Meeting, Staff discussed a possible event (sponsored
by Park, Recreation, and Forestry Commission) called “Music in the Park.” This event
would be a musical concert held outside in one of the City’s parks. According to the
Outdoor Special Event policy, this type of event would require a permit. It was the
consensus of the City Council to exempt any city sponsored event from obtaining an
Outdoor Special Event permit. Attached is Ordinance 820, revising Section 611.04,
which adds language exempting city sponsored events from this policy.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the First Reading of Ordinance 820. The
Second Reading and adoption will take place at the next City Council Meeting on
Monday, May 11, 2009.
Respectfully submitted,
Desaree Crane

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jim Ericson, Clerk-Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 819, an
Ordinance Amending Chapter 7, Section 7.03, of the City
Charter Relating to “Fees”
Background:
The Charter Commission has adopted a resolution to amend the City Charter in Section
7.03 relating to “fees”. The amendments serve to clarify which fees are subject to annual
increase limitations. The limits, generally speaking, are as follows:
Either the prior year tax levy dollar amount increased by a maximum of 5%, or
the Minneapolis / St. Paul CPI plus 2%, whichever is less.
The Charter Commission approved Resolution 2009-02d at their meeting on March 12,
2009. The resolution is attached for your reference.
Discussion:
A public hearing was held on April 13, 2009 to consider the first reading and introduction
of the subject ordinance. While the first reading was ultimately approved, there were two
questions raised regarding the language which I will restate and address in this report.
One of the proposed changes is to exclude the annual reauthorization of the utility
franchise fee from the limitations imposed in Section 7.03. Without the proposed
exclusion, a strict interpretation of the Charter would require that the City conduct a
referendum EVERY year to continue with the gas and electric franchise fee, which
sunsets annually. The Council asked what happens when the Franchises agreements
expire and new Franchise agreements are adopted—would the proposed exclusion apply
even then? Staff’s interpretation is that the annual reauthorization applies to the franchise
fee and is not tied to approvals of new Franchise agreements, which would occur Nov
2012 in the case of Xcel and July 2019 in the case of CenterPoint. Members of the
Charter Commission have been asked to provide their opinion regarding this specific
revision and have been invited to attend the meeting on April 27th.
The other issue raised by the Council addressed the broader aspect of how fee increases
are controlled and under what circumstances a referendum would be required. The
Charter, in Section 7.03, imposes limitations on general fund levy increases and
increases to fees that are passed along to residents. How this works is explained on the
following page. (The complete text of Charter Section 7.03 appears later in this report.)
Ordinance 819
April 27, 2009
Page 2
Subdivision 1 of Section 7.03 of the City Charter indicates the following:
The City's annual resolution to levy ad valorem taxes (raising money
against real and personal property) shall not exceed the lesser of the
following formulas; either the prior year tax levy dollar amount increased
by a maximum of 5%, or CPI (Consumer Price Index) plus 2%. The CPI
shall be the 12 month average of the most recently published data for all
Urban Consumers in the Minneapolis, St. Paul metropolitan area, as
defined by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Thus, it is not possible for the tax levy to increase by more than 5% from one year to the
next, and if the CPI is less than 3%, the maximum increase would be less than 5%. If the
proposed levy exceeds the cap, the proposed increase would need to be put to a vote of
the residents by referendum. The same increase limitations apply to certain fees
imposed and adopted by the City Council.
Subdivision 3 of Section 7.03 indicates that any fee that is increased beyond the same
limits as imposed upon the levy shall be put to a vote of the residents by referendum. For
example, if the Council desired to increase the utility franchise fee back to 4% from
3.75%, that would result in an increase of more than 6%, more than what is allowed by
the formula in Subdivision 1.
Attached is Ordinance 819 which incorporates the language adopted by the Charter
Commission in Resolution 2009-02d. This Ordinance is being presented for second
reading and adoption, with an effective date of August 5, 2009, if approved.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the second reading and adoption of
Ordinance 819, an ordinance amending Chapter 7, Section 7.03, of the Mounds View City
Charter. Action on the ordinance requires a ROLL CALL VOTE.
Respectfully submitted,

From: James Ericson, Clerk - Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7443 Recommending to the Ramsey County
Board of Commissioners Approval of the Repurchase
Application Submitted for 2220 Lambert Avenue
Introduction:
The former owners of 2220 Lambert Avenue have filed an application with Ramsey County
to repurchase their property what was forfeited for failure to pay property taxes.
Discussion:
The County’s policy regarding the consideration of such repurchase applications includes a
provision that asks the municipality to review the request and offer a recommendation back
to the Board of Commissioners. The municipality shall consider in its recommendation
whether the property is considered a “municipal problem” based on documented nuisance,
building or housing code violations or documented police activity.
There are no police issues or problems with the property from a public safety standpoint
that would warrant a negative recommendation. Aside from a couple minor code violations
which have since been corrected, it is the opinion of the City’s Code Enforcement /
Housing Inspector that there is no reason to oppose the request.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 7443, a resolution recommending to the
Ramsey County Board of Commissioners approval of the repurchase application submitted
for 2220 Lambert Avenue.
Respectfully submitted,

Item No. 11.B.1
Meeting Date: April 27, 2009
Type of Business: Reports
Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mark Beer, Finance Director
Item Title/Subject: Financial Report for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2009
Attached are the March 31, 2009 Quarterly Revenue and Expenditure Summary Report,
Cash Balances Report, and investment statements.
SUMMARY FINANCIAL REPORT
The first quarter financial report is usually unremarkable, because so little has happened in
the first three months. That is the case again this year.
General Fund:
The General Fund has collected 2.58% of its budgeted revenues and has spent 19.5% of
budgeted expenditures. Property tax revenues comprise 60% of General Fund revenues,
and property tax receipts are received in the June/July and November/December time
period. Most of the General Fund revenues come in late in the second quarter and then
again late in the fourth quarter so it is important to maintain a fund balance that
approximates 50% of budgeted expenditures and transfers for cashflow purposes. The
General Fund ended 2008 with unreserved fund balance that is equal to 44% of the 2009
budgeted expenditures and transfers.
Other Funds:
Community Center Banquet operations show revenues for the quarter of $21,319 and
expenditures of $29,342. The winter quarter is the slowest quarter for revenues and the
highest for expenditures due to heating costs. We should see improvements in the next
two quarters as there are only two open dates for weddings for the remainder of the year.
The Banquet Center staff is working to infill during the week and a number of events have
been scheduled. Overall the Community Center fund shows revenues of $56,360 and
expenditures of $80,889, a deficit of $24,529. The General Fund has a transfer of
$185,000 budgeted for 2009 to the Community Center Fund.
The Street Improvement Capital Projects Fund and the Community Capital Projects Fund
ended 2008 with fund balances of $2,686,365 and $2,628,616 respectively. Both funds
are integral in our 9 year Street and Utility Improvement Program. TIF District Funds 1,2
&3 ended 2008 with combined fund balances of $3,872,802. These funds will also have a
significant role in street improvement activities over the next several years. The two major
projects for 2009 will be the Area A street project and trail segments 1 thru 5. Planning for
the combined Area B & C is underway and is scheduled for 2010.
Investments & Economy:
The City has and will continue to experience lower investment earnings as a result of lower
rates thru 2010 and into 2011. Investment income for 2009 is $229,785 compared with
$257,491 for the same period in 2008. Our portfolio for March 31, 2009 was 30,231,463
compared with $28,077,923 for 2008. I have attached the March 31st investment
statements for you review.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has cut the current discount rate to 0% -
.25%, compared to 2.25% for the same period in 2008. The Federal Reserve cannot affect
interest rates by lowering the discount rate so they have been purchasing treasury
securities, which has artificially lowered rates on those securities. This adversely affects
other market rates, of course that depends on your perspective. Treasury bills are
presently providing the following rates-of-return: 2 year - .91%; 5 year – 1.79%; and 10
year – 2.83%. The Jumbo CD market is presently providing returns for 1 year CD’s of
1.05% and 2 year CD’s of 2.30%. The federal government has passed a stimulus package
and continues to work with banks thru various programs (TARP, TALF) to try and loosen
credit, shore up balance sheets, and motivate spending. Consumers are saving and not
spending which is not what the economy needs at this time. We may see weak growth
thru 2010 and into 2011. Inflation will be the issue that we face in the coming years and a
lot of things have to go right for that not to happen. State unemployment for March
increased to 8.2% compared to national unemployment of 8.5%, economists see this
number going higher by the end of 2009. The job market is a lagging indicator of an
economic recovery so will be one of the last things to show improvement.
At the state level, the legislature is still in session working toward a showdown with the
governor. We do not have much direction on where this could all end the legislature must
recess on or before May 18th. I would anticipate a special session. As of this report, we
would have our Local Government Aid reduced in 2009 by about $225,000, and about
$450,000 in 2010. There has not been much progress on mandate reform as was hopeful
at the beginning of the session.
Finance Department Operations:
The audit fieldwork is complete for the 2008 audit and MMKR will present their
management report at the May 11, 2009 Council meeting. Staff is also working on the five
year financial plan and preparations for the 2010 City budget are underway.
