2008 Street Maintenance Project
Mounds View, Minnesota
City Project No. 2008-001
March 5, 2008
Bonestroo File No. 435-08131-0
Introduction
The City of Mounds View has authorized preparation of a feasibility report for the 2008 Street Maintenance
Project. This project would be part of the City’s ongoing pavement management practices.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
The purpose of a Street Maintenance project is to preserve and extend the useful life of the existing surface
of a street that is already in relatively good condition. It consists of maintenance procedures that are more
routine in nature and are performed on a regular interval. A Street Maintenance project does not typically
include improvements that increase the strength of a street, and is not to be confused with a Street
Reconstruction project.
City Staff has surveyed all existing streets in Mounds View and has assigned a rating to each street
according to its Pavement Condition Index (PCI). Using the results of this survey, in 2006 Staff identified
those existing streets that are suitable candidates for a Street Maintenance project. The remaining streets,
which consist of the majority of streets in Mounds View, are of an advanced age and have reached a point
in their life cycle where the benefits of a Street Maintenance project do not justify the expenditure. Those
streets have been identified for major rehabilitation through the Street and Utility Improvement Program
being undertaken by the City. As the City moves forward with that Program and successfully completes
Mounds View, Minnesota Project No: 435-08131-0
2008 Street Maintenance Project Page 2
Street Reconstruction projects, those streets will become part of future Street Maintenance projects.
However, at this time there are only a limited number of streets for which a Street Maintenance project is
appropriate.
The streets determined to be suitable for the Street Maintenance program were incorporated into a
maintenance schedule based on the PCI rating and fund availability. In addition to streets, there are a
number of City-owned parking lots throughout Mounds View. Many of these parking lots are also suitable
candidates for maintenance, and were included in the schedule.
The maintenance schedule was to be completed over the three year period of 2006 through 2008. The
2006 and 2007 Street Maintenance projects have been successfully completed. The remaining streets,
along with the suitable parking lots, are proposed to be completed as the 2008 Street Maintenance Project.
Figure 1 at the end of this Report shows all streets and parking lots in the 2006 – 2008 maintenance
schedule, broken down by year.
The specific streets and parking lots proposed to be included in the 2008 Street Maintenance Project are
listed below:
Hillview Road - Pleasant View Drive to Spring Lake Road
Gloria Circle - Hillview Road to cul-de-sac
Oakwood Drive - Knollwood Drive to Groveland Road
Knollwood Drive - County Road I to Oakwood Drive
Knollwood Drive - County Road H2 to County Road I
Groveland Road - Bronson Drive (East) to County Hwy 10
Bronson Drive - Pleasant View Drive to Silver Lake Road
Hidden Hollow Ct - cul-de-sac to County Road H2
County Road H2 - Pleasant View Drive to County Hwy 10
Park View Drive - Silver Lake Road to County Road H2
Park View Terrace - Park View Drive (South) to cul-de-sac
Hodges Lane- Park View Terrace to Park View Drive
Mounds View Drive - Long Lake Road to County Road I
Silver View Drive - Mounds View Drive to County Hwy 10
Lakeside Lions Park Parking Lot
Silver View Park Parking Lot
City Hall Parking Lot
Police Department Parking Lot
Community Center Parking Lot
Greenfield Park Parking Lot
Sally Port Parking Lot
Both Hillview Road and Lakeside Lions Parking Lot are jointly owned with the City of Spring Lake Park.
Therefore, all cost relating to the maintenance for those facilities will be split between the two cities.
The purpose of this Report is to define the maintenance activities required, provide an estimate of cost, and
identify the source of financing.
Mounds View, Minnesota Project No: 435-08131-0
2008 Street Maintenance Project Page 3
Required Improvements
The surface of all streets proposed for the 2008 Street Maintenance Project are in good condition. The
required maintenance activities needed on these streets consist mainly of sealing transverse surface cracks
that have developed in the bituminous, and application of a protective coating to the street surface. A
discussion of the maintenance activities follows:
CRACK SEAL
Bituminous surfaces are susceptible to expansion and contraction in extreme temperatures. Due to this
thermal movement, transverse cracks will typically develop in the surface of a bituminous street within a
year or two after construction. These cracks frequently occur at regular intervals along the length of a
street, and at locations of structures such as manholes and gate valve boxes.
The purpose of crack sealing is to prevent widening of the cracks, and to prevent water from seeping
through the cracks into the street base and subgrade, which could significantly accelerate deterioration of
the street surface.
Crack sealing is performed by sawing the surface of the crack to a width of ¾ to 1 inch by a depth of ¾
inch. This is done to create smooth edges within the crack to promote adhesion of the filler material. The
sawed area is thoroughly cleaned using high pressure air blasting. Filler material is then placed in the
crack. The filler is typically a hot-pour elastic type sealer that is placed using specialized equipment. The
material remains pliable to extreme cold temperatures, allowing expansion and contraction of the crack
while remaining bonded to the sides of the saw cut area.
The procedure described above is commonly referred to as “route and seal”, and is effective only on narrow
cracks, less than about ½ inch in width.
City Staff has indicated that all required crack sealing will be performed by City forces, which will result in a
project cost savings to the City. The only exception to this would be Hillview Road and the parking lot at
Lakeside Lions Park. Since those facilities are jointly owned with Spring Lake Park, it is proposed that any
necessary crack sealing on them would be performed as part of the construction contract. This would allow
for ready identification of the complete maintenance cost expended on those facilities, and ensure equitable
participation by each City towards those costs.
SEAL COAT
Bituminous seal coat is the application of specific rates of bituminous material (oil) and aggregate material
(rock chips) on an existing bituminous roadway surface. After a curing period, the loose aggregate material
is swept from the street, leaving behind only what has satisfactorily bonded to the surface.
There are a variety of aggregate materials available for a seal coat operation. This Report recommends that
the aggregate used for this project be a crushed trap rock, with maximum chip size of ¼-inch. This material
is designated as type FA-2, and has been used successfully on several seal coat projects in the area for
streets with similar characteristics to those in the proposed 2008 Street Maintenance Project. FA-2 is also
the type of aggregate that was used on the 2007 Street Maintenance Project in Mounds View.
Seal coating is a process that can extend the life of paved roadways by slowing the oxidation process of the
bituminous surface. Another benefit of a seal coat operation is waterproofing of the street surface. This
prevents water from entering the street base, which can accelerate the deterioration of the street surface
Mounds View, Minnesota Project No: 435-08131-0
2008 Street Maintenance Project Page 4
and structure. While a seal coat operation will not add structural strength to a road, it will increase the
friction of the surface through the application of the aggregate material. This results in increased safety, as
vehicle tires are able to grip the surface more readily for braking and maneuvering.
Prior to performing the seal coat, all crack sealing to be done must be completed on the existing bituminous
street surfaces. A clean, dust free surface is also vital to the success of a seal coat.
A seal coat is proposed for all streets in the 2008 Street Maintenance Project. Due to the specialized nature
of the work, it would be performed by a contractor as part of the construction contract.
PAVEMENT MARKINGS
There is only a minimal amount of existing pavement markings within the project area, consisting of
longitudinal markings, stop bars, parking lines, and other miscellaneous small markings. The locations of
all existing pavement markings would need to be recorded prior to the seal coat, so the markings can be re-
established.
The City of Mounds View participates in an annual program where the required pavement markings in the
City are placed by Ramsey County. The City receives very favorable prices from the County for the
placement of the markings. Therefore, it is recommended that any pavement markings required as a result
of the seal coat performed not be included in the construction contract for this project. This will result in a
cost savings to the City. City Staff will need to perform all necessary coordination with the County for the
scheduling and placement of the pavement markings.
The only exception in regards to pavement markings would again be the parking lot of Lakeside Lions Park.
Similarly to crack sealing, replacement of the pavement markings in that parking lot are recommended to
be included as part of the construction contract, due to the joint ownership and financial participation by
both Mounds View and Spring Lake Park.
Cost Estimates
Detailed cost estimates have been prepared for the maintenance activity as described above and are
included in the Appendix. The costs are based on unit prices anticipated for the 2008 construction season
and include allowances for engineering, administration, legal costs, and financing. The total of all
allowances is estimated to be 30% of the construction cost.
The Appendix shows the estimated project costs based on the total estimated construction quantities that
will be used on the project. It also provides a breakdown of cost on a street-by-street basis to assist the
City with budget considerations.
The total estimated cost for the 2008 Street Maintenance Project is $181,600.00.
Mounds View, Minnesota Project No: 435-08131-0
2008 Street Maintenance Project Page 5
Project Financing
It is the understanding of this Report that financing for this project will be provided from the Street
Improvement Fund (City Fund No. 285-4470-7050). City Staff has indicated that the approved 2008
budget included allocation for a street maintenance project consistent in size and scope with the project
proposed in this Report.
As previously noted, financial participation from the City of Spring Lake Park will be expected for a portion
of the improvements described, due to joint ownership of Hillview Road and Lakeside Lions Park. Assuming
an even cost split between the two cities for the improvements on those facilities, a summary of the
estimated financial responsibility of each towards the project is shown in the following table:
Summary of Project Financing
City Amount
Mounds View $ 176,130.00
Spring Lake Park 5,470.00
Total Estimated Project Cost $ 181,600.00
Possibility of Joint Project with Spring Lake Park
In 2007, the City of Spring Lake Park proposed a Street Maintenance Project that was very similar in scope
to the project proposed by Mounds View. The cities decided to combine their projects in the interests of
convenience, consistency, and potential cost savings. Through the use of a Joint Powers Agreement both
cities realized a savings by sharing project development costs such as preparation of the construction
documents, advertising, bidding, and preparation of contracts. In addition, the higher volume of work in
the combined project resulted in lower construction prices being received from bidders.
Spring Lake Park is again proposing a Street Maintenance Project for 2008 in their City. Through
discussions with Staff from both cities it has been determined that the schedules and other characteristics of
the projects being considered in each are compatible, and both cities are interested in pursuing a joint
project. At their meeting on February 11, 2008, the Mounds View City Council directed Staff and the City
Attorney to prepare a Joint Powers Agreement for a combined project. The Agreement is currently being
drafted, and is scheduled to be brought to the Mounds View Council on March 10, 2008. If approved, it
would be submitted to Spring Lake Park for consideration at their City Council meeting of March 17, 2008.
Similar to 2007, the 2008 Street Maintenance Project proposed in Mounds View is larger in size than the
project proposed in Spring Lake Park. Therefore, Mounds View has again offered to be the lead agency on
the project. As such they would handle the project bidding, contract award, and administration of
construction payments, among other things. The Agreement being prepared will propose that arrangement
between the cities, as was done in the Agreement for the 2007 project.
It should be noted that although a joint project is anticipated, in the event that it does not occur this Report
can still be used as the basis for Mounds View to proceed with a separate 2008 Street Maintenance Project.

Project Schedule
City Staff has prepared a schedule for the 2008 Street Maintenance Project that was presented to the City
Council on January 28, 2008. The main activities of the schedule are shown below. The actions necessary
by Spring Lake Park for proceeding with a joint project are shown in italics. However it should be noted
that the project schedule for Mounds View remains the same whether or not the project is combined.

Conclusions and Recommendations
The City Council has established that improving the street and utility infrastructure is the number one
strategic goal in Mounds View. Complimentary to this is maintaining those portions of the infrastructure
that already exist in good condition. The proposed 2008 Street Maintenance Project is a positive step
towards that goal.
It has been shown that routine crack filling and seal coating is a useful and cost effective tool for the
maintenance and longevity of a bituminous street surface. City Staff has determined those streets that are
appropriate candidates for a street maintenance project, and has proposed a program to address all
candidate streets from 2006 to 2008. The streets included in this Report for the proposed 2008 Street
Maintenance Project are consistent with the findings of the City Staff.
A funding source exists for the proposed project, and funds have been allocated in the approved 2008
budget consistent with the scope of work proposed. Portions of the preparatory work for the project would
be performed by City forces, and pavement markings would be applied by Ramsey County forces, both
resulting in cost savings for the City.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mike Sommer, Police Chief
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7238 Approving the Purchase of Police
Squad Cars for 2008
Date of Report: March 10, 2008
NATURE OF REPORT: The police department budgeted $46,000 for the
replacement of two squad cars in 2008. Elk River Ford has been awarded the
state bid for the 2008 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor at a cost of
$21,320.05 each. This cost does not include necessary equipment and set up
expenses, which have been budgeted separately. The deadline for ordering
squad cars on the state bid is April 1st. This purchase will place the police
department on about a five year squad car replacement cycle, which is
appropriate for the use of police squad cars in the City of Mounds View. The
police department utilizes the Admin MN State Surplus Services auction to sell
the old squad cars and has received excellent service in the past from this
business.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval for the replacement of two
squad cars under the state bid through Elk River Ford, for two 2008 Ford Crown
Victoria squad cars, at an estimated total cost of $42,640.10, excluding tax,
registration and license, and approval to sell the old squad cars at the State
auction service.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7239 Setting a Public Hearing Date for
the 2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement Project
Background:
On May 22, 2006 the City Council approved Resolution 6823 authorizing the
preparation of a Preliminary Feasibility Report and the selection of a consultant
for the 2007-2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project.
On December 11, 2006 the City Council held a public hearing and approved
Resolution 6982 approving the Feasibility Report for the 2007-2008 Street and
Utility Improvement Project.
On February 12, 2007 a petition in opposition to the 2007-2008 Street and Utility
Improvement Project was accepted by the City Council.
On October 8, 2007 the City Council made a motion to authorize Staff to initiate
preparation of a 2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement Project by working
with the engineering consultant to collect data, mainly on Red Oak Drive north of
Sherwood Drive, and to initiate the development of a raingarden program.
On October 22, 2007 the City Council adopted the Street and Utility Improvement
Program.
Discussion:
The proposed 2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement Project will be the same
project as the proposed 2007-2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project, with
the addition of Red Oak Drive north of Sherwood Road.
Staff is recommending that the City proceed with the 2009-2010 Street and Utility
Improvement Project based on the feasibility report for the 2007-2008 Street and
Utility Improvement Project which was approved on December 11, 2006.
Staff is also recommending that the 2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement
Project be developed based on the Street and Utility Improvement Program
adopted on October 22, 2007.
Staff further recommends that the 2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement
Project be developed based on the various specific design aspects for 2007-
2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project that were previously agreed to by
the City Council. These include:
Elimination of the access of Hillview Road and Fairchild Avenue
Hillview Park Parking Improvements –providing a parking area
There are two roads within the 2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement Project
area that are designated pedestrian corridors as per the City’s comprehensive
trailway plan. These are: Red Oak Drive and Hillview Road. As per the Street
and Utility Improvement Program, the City will conduct public meetings to obtain
input on these two roadways. The City will be developing a raingarden program
this year. Once completed, the City will then conduct public meetings to discuss
the installation of raingardens as part of this project.
Schedule – A typical schedule for nine projects planned as part of the overall
Street and Utility Improvement Program as been developed (see attachment). A
detailed project schedule for the 2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement
Project will be developed and presented at a public hearing.
Set Public Improvement Hearing – As per State Statute 429.031: “Before the
municipality awards a contract for an improvement or orders it made by day
labor, or before the municipality may assess any portion of the cost of an
improvement to be made under a cooperative agreement with the state or
another political subdivision for sharing the cost of making the improvement, the
council shall hold a public hearing on the proposed improvement following two
publications in the newspaper of a notice stating the time and place of the
hearing, the general nature of the improvement, the estimated cost, and the area
proposed to be assessed.”
Although not required as per current City Charter language, Staff is
recommending that a public hearing be conducted to be in compliance with state
statute and to allow the public to learn about the proposed project and to provide
comments.
A hearing date of March 24, 2008 will afford the necessary time to publish legal
notices.
Recommendation:
It is recommended the City Council approve a resolution setting a Public
Improvement Hearing date for the 2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement
Project.

Mounds View City Council February 25, 2008
Regular Meeting Page 2
1
Council Member Stigney asked whether the loss of funds resulting from the earlier burglary is 2
covered by insurance. 3
4
Mark Healy of Community Charities indicated it was not. He then explained that they were 5
robbed during business hours and they lost a substantial amount of money. 6
7
Mayor Marty said that it seems strange to keep all of their money there. 8
9
Mr. Healy indicated that the employee prepared the money to deposit, but there was not access to 10
the bank night deposit, so the money was stored in a locked metal cabinet, and it was Christmas 11
weekend. 12
13
Mayor Marty asked whether a headquarters or majority of the group lives in town. 14
15
Interim Administrator Ericson explained that the Code was revised to allow the headquarters to 16
be located anywhere, provided that they contribute to the trade area. 17
18
Council Member Mueller said she was curious as to why the cash was not covered by insurance. 19
20
Mr. Healy indicated that there is insurance for liability and to cover the gambling manager. But, 21
however, it is cost prohibitive to cover the cash against theft or burglary. 22
23
Council Member Flaherty asked how the shortages are being addressed. 24
25
Mr. Healy said that the machine that was malfunctioning was fixed, and with two machines, they 26
believe that the shortage issues will go away. 27
28
Council Member Stigney said he noticed that no contributions were made at all in 2007. 29
30
Mr. Healy indicated that they have only been operating in the City for four months. 31
32
MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7227, 33
Approving a Charitable Gambling Permit for Community Charities of Minnesota to Conduct 34
Charitable Gambling at The Mermaid. 35
36
Council Member Stigney suggested that any month that there is no contribution that this come to 37
the City for evaluation. 38
39
Mr. Healy asked whether there is an Ordinance that requires that 10% come back to the City. 40
41
Attorney Riggs indicated that it does not specify monthly as written, but reporting is monthly. 42
43
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mueller. Amend to Approve Conditionally and Require Quarterly 44
Reporting to Council. 45
Mounds View City Council February 25, 2008
Regular Meeting Page 3
1
Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Amendment carried. 2
3
Council Member Mueller indicated that non-charitable gambling allows to work within the 4
confines of the state, and this would be a permit for the City, and that is why the City can review 5
this in three month’s time to make sure things are going well. 6
7
Attorney Riggs indicated that Council is required, under the statute, to pass a resolution stating 8
that this can go on. The Council has the power to do this and require quarterly review. This is an 9
interim permit that the Council could revoke if this is not working. He further said that he is not 10
sure it would pass through the state, however. 11
12
Mayor Marty suggested that Council move forward as discussed and informed the Applicant to 13
report to Council if there is an issue with the state. 14
15
Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion, so amended. 16
17
B. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 802, an Ordinance Amending 18
Chapter 1012 of the Mounds View Municipal Code Relating to Inspection 19
and Licensure of Rental Dwellings 20
21
Housing Inspector Anderson reviewed his report with Council and noted that Staff sent the 22
Ordinance to the City Attorney for final legal review, and a few grammatical changes have been 23
made. None of the changes were substantive. 24
25
Housing Inspector Anderson noted that the licensing will continue to be for 12 months beginning 26
in September. Staff recommends the second reading and adoption, and approval of publishing an 27
Ordinance summary. 28
29
Council Member Mueller said that given the problems that every community is experiencing 30
with foreclosures, she thinks the City needs to get something approved right away. 31
32
Council Member Mueller suggested increasing the re-inspection fee to be raised to $75.00. 33
34
Housing Inspector Anderson indicated that there would be further discussion on fees at an 35
upcoming work session. 36
37
Mayor Marty noted that a property owner with a bad renter or renters could come to the City for 38
help with that situation. He then thanked Staff for the report. 39
40
Mayor Marty commented regarding Page 5 on total area for parking. He then said that there are 41
so many spaces required per unit for the apartment houses now, and there has been an issue with 42
a house being rented on Eastwood, because people park on the lawn and all over. He further said 43
that this needs to be addressed based on the number of bedrooms to ensure adequate parking. 44
45
Mounds View City Council February 25, 2008
Regular Meeting Page 4
Mayor Marty indicated that he talked to Mr. Ericson today about how the City follows the 1
regulations regarding how many occupants could live in one unit. He then suggested including 2
one person per 50 square feet. 3
4
Housing Inspector Anderson indicated that he and Mr. Ericson discussed this earlier and the 5
International Property Maintenance Code, which has been adopted by the City, does have a table 6
that lists the maximum number of people per square foot. This table could be provided to 7
people, or it could be added to the Code for clarity. 8
9
Interim Administrator Ericson suggested adding the information to Chapter 1005, the Housing 10
Code in the occupancy section rather in this ordinance. The other thing to point out is, that often 11
times there are restrictions in leases that are more restrictive than the City’s Code. 12
13
Council Member Mueller indicated that she would like to tie in the International Property 14
Maintenance Code requirements into this. 15
16
Housing Inspector Anderson indicated that he feels confident that the International Property 17
Maintenance Code could be referenced. 18
19
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Ordinance 802, an 20
Ordinance Amending Chapter 1012 of the Mounds View Municipal Code Relating to Inspection 21

how the Community Center will do. 38
