Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; At the April 4, 1994 City Council Work Session, Staff brought forward a request from the resident at 7504 Greenfield Avenue regarding the possibility of imposing further on-street parking restrictions on the streets surrounding his property. The request was the result of the resident seeing an increase in loud and obnoxious behavior, littering, parking on lawns and public urination by (he says) the patrons of the Bel Rae Ballroom. Staff had the Mounds View Police Department run a list of the calls received within the past year on the Bel Rae and found that the large majority involved health emergencies, abandoned vehicles and lockouts . Based on the discussions at the April Work Session, Staff was directed to draft the appropriate Ordinance for consideration by the Council. Ordinance No. 540, prohibiting parking from 9 :00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. on the North side of Bronson between Edgewood Drive and Jackson Drive was formally introduced by the City Council at the May 23, 1994 Council Meeting.

STTMM a RY; The Parks and Recreation Commission requests the City Council to approve use of Contingency Funds to pay for the treatment of Silver View Park pond for algae growth: The cost of the treatment including permits, materials and services and a dye treatment is approximately $2;300. Lake Restoration, Inc.would treat the pond in mid to late July. Hopefully the treatment will last for six weeks bring us into the autumn months when weather cools and algae growth retards. In addition, staff requests the City Council to approve the use of Contingency Funds to purchase a Goossen Woodchipper at the cost of$5,600. There are increasing occasions where a woodchipper would enable the City to chip tree branches rather than bring them the landfill. In addition, the woodchips can be used in the parks for tree mulch, trail'surfaces, and for the public's use in landscaping yard projects. The cost of a heavy duty Goossen woodchipper is $5,600 including shipping and handling.

United States, 112 S . Ct. 2408 (1992) that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and WHEREAS, many states, in reaction to more and more unfunded mandates, have declared "sovereignty under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not enumerated and granted to the Federal government by the United States Constitution" ; and WHEREAS, the State of Colorado has adopted a resolution which served "Notice and Demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of its constitutionally delegated powers" ; and WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View views unfunded federal mandates, as a violation of the Constitution as well as a negation of its rights under due process. WHEREAS, the state mandates, like federal mandates, continue to put the cities of Minnesota at risk of financial instability and further limit a city's ability to serve its citizens. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council in and for the City of Mounds View, Minnesota supports the belief held by countless cities across the nation that until the federal and state governments cease and desist from imposing costly, unfunded mandates on cities, the very survival of American cities is in serious jeopardy.

ExpianationiSusmary (attach supplement sheet as necessary.) STTMMARy; Since 1985, the City of Mounds View has participated in the Community. Development Block Grant Program through Ramsey County. By participating in this program, Mounds View's population contribution helps Ramsey County to reapply as an Entitlement County through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The County once again has requested the participation of Mounds View. Approving the Amendment will provide the City with an opportunity to participate in the CDBG program with other Ramsey County cities. The term of the Agreement is 3 years. The City may, at any time, "opt" out of the Ramsey County program, and participate on a State-wide competitive basis. However, opportunities for funding through the : State program are very limited. • Although not included .in the Amendment, Ramsey County and the participating cities have agreed to restructure the process by which cities receive CDBG funds. The goal is to develop an allotment structure in which individual cities receive an annual allotment for use within their city. The current system of competitive application has been very unsatisfactory to many Ramsey County cities. An individual allotment process currently exists in Anoka and Hennepin counties. A structure designed with individual allotments would provide each Ramsey County city with a pre-determine level of funding with which to initiate and complete economic development and social service programs which benefit low and moderate income residents. It represents a fair and equitable method of distributing the funding to all communities rather than a select few. The new structure should be in place prior to the next round of CDBG applications. iligg Aimmlw Samantha Orduno, City Administrator RECOMME; TIO : Motion to approve/disapprove the First Amendment to Ramsey County Housing and Redevelopment Authority Joint Cooperation Agreement and authorize the City Administrator to execute the Amendment.

Despite the conferences, everyone continues to work on their 1995 budgets. The first draft will be presented to Council on June 20th. Diane Wuori, Tim Cruikshank, Cathy and myself will be attending the LMC Annual Conference in St. Paul from Wednesday until Friday. Mary Saarion, Tim Cruikshank and myself will be speakers at different sessions on Thursday. I have drafted a letter to Cliff Ash informing him of the action taken by the Council last night regarding the requested traffic study. SEE YOU ALL ON MONDAY! Samantha Economic Development League of Minnesota Cities Conference: Along with several other people at city hall, I will be attending the League of Minnesota Cities Annual Conference in Downtown St. Paul on Wednesday and Thursday. My interest is in the following topics: Looking to the Future: Visioning for Your Community, Improving the Business Climate in the Community, Economic Development Innovations, Grants: Where Are They?, Economic and Community Development Resources and Promoting Your Small City. I'm looking forward to absorbing lots of information and ideas to utilize throughout the year! Outreach: Northern States Power: I will be meeting with our representative from NSP to discuss joint efforts in attraction and retention. From my experiences, electric and gas utilities are a tremendous economic development asset and I plan to utilize their resources to the fullest. Suburban Area Chamber of Commerce: I received a call from the president of the Suburban Area Chamber of Commerce, Gary Wink. Apparently, Mark Malone from Western Bank has become involved with the Chamber and suggested a joint meeting to discuss stronger participation from the City of Mounds View. I will be meeting with both Gary and Mark to discuss our involvement further. Minnesota Area Association of Realtors: Jennifer and I will be meeting with Karen Christopherson with the Minnesota Area Association of Realtors to discuss the housing stock in Mounds View. We will share ideas and data related to the area. The Association could be an asset in the future when looking to capitalize on our housing rehabilitation program. Marketing Efforts: A press release will be sent to local media and area city administrators announcing the addition of Curt Johnson, Golf Course Superintendent and the planning associate slated to be approved at the June 13th council meeting. Regardless of the coverage, I believe in inundating the press with news from Mounds View. This is very cheap exposure and the more they hear from us the more they will be interested. In addition, once I have more concrete information regarding the economic recovery grant I will sent a press release on our efforts and even call to relay the importance of this message. This press release will probably go out the end of next week. Cathy • PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY PARKS: * Mowing and trimming have been the primary tasks of the Parks Crew. * The fencing along the berm at Silver View Park was installed Tuesday morning - hopefully catching the balls which skim off the berm. * Groveland tennis courts were resurfaced last weekend. The new surface looks much better. I'm asking everyone's help in making sure that rollerbladers do not use the courts for that purpose. If anyone sees rollerbladers on the courts please inform them that that use is not appropriate on the tennis courts. Councilmember Trude and Commissioner Stevenson have suggested that they will be willing to distribute flyers requesting tennis play only on the newly resurfaced tennis courts. * Two trees recently went down at Groveland and Silver View in last weekends windstorm. Thus the immediate need for the woodchipper. * I am meeting with Steve Campbell next week regarding options for the storm water ditch crossing at Silver View Park. RECREATION: * Youth athletic team and individual pictures were taken this week. We had a terrible experience Monday with the T-Ball teams. The company photographer was too slow and the time became much too long making many people frustrated. We immediately called the company to demand two photographers and a quicker process. Mission accomplished. . . the session Tuesday evening went smoothly and on time. * MVCT auditions will be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Hopefully we will have many interested and talented people of the community auditioning for the performance of "Oliver". * Special appreciation to the Garden Club who planted the flower gardens at City Hall entrance. The gardens look great. The club has special varieties of perennial plants which they plan to mark and identify. * Sharie chaperoned a huge trip to Southern Minnesota last week which was a huge success. Everyone came back with smiles asking where the next adventure will be. * Over 93 seniors have registered for the special senior citizen picnic organized by Sharie and sponsored by the Lion's Club and Western Bank. It will be held at Silver View Park on June 21. FORESTRY: * The Forestry Crew did an excellent job of landscaping the front of City Hall. We are still waiting for the large tree plantings for City Hall Park. These are contracted plantings - we are waiting our turn anxiously. * The crew has also been doing trimwork in the City an example being the bushes at the triangular property at the corner of County Road I and Pinewood Dr. * Two lilacs planted at the corner of Long Lake Road and Eastman were stolen. These plantings were installed in an effort to beautify small corner properties on County easements. CABLE TV: * You will never see Jerry's room as clean as it was Open House night! * Jerry has a 10 minute video tape regarding interactive systems. We will show it during various budget sessions. There are so many information opportunities with the interactive system that it is really exciting! GOLF COURSE: * Kurt has set up shop at the golf course in a rented office trailer. This will be a place where he and 2 seasonals will be able to store their equipment, have lunch and regroup. The trailer will be used until the maintenance building can be used. * Kurt is meeting with several equipment representatives to choose the right equipment for the course. He has many contacts and therefore will be able to choose the best equipment for the best price. * One Golf Course Greenskeeper, Chad, will begin work on Monday, June 13. He is an employee which Kurt employed at Centerbrook and has influenced him to come work for us. Chad is a college student with years of golf course maintenance experience and is trained in mowing greens and fairways and is knowledgeable with irrigation systems. Chad and Kurt will be working the ditches for a few weeks doing basic "grunt work" and when the grass is planted will begin fertilizing and mowing and the other jobs associated with maturation. * Kurt and I met with Runyan/Vogel Architects and Ebert Const. people for a pre- construction meeting regarding the Maintenance Building and Clubhouse. Work on the Maintenance Building will begin Wednesday, June 8 with anticipated completing August 15. The Clubhouse will begin 2-3 weeks later and anticipated completion is October. There is no hurry on the completion of the Clubhouse, but there is a dire need for the Maintenance building in August when groundskeeping activities will begin. Blaine is requiring the addition of an enclosure for the dumpster and insulation for the maintenance building for energy conservation. The added costs are approximately $1,022 for the insulation and $1,600 for the dumpster enclosure. Another requirement of Blaine is for curb and pavement of the parking lot. The bid provided by Veit is $31,505 which will be paid with the Construction Bond monies. This is a good price. * MWCC is approximately 1/2 done with portion of the golf course. Evidently the project is going along smoothly. * Irrigation is being laid, the practice range is almost completed with irrigation lines and heads. Kurt has made a few changes in the location of heads and lines. It's nice to have his expertise on site. Hole #9 tees are cut out and it is a "dilly" of a hole. Mary S. FINANCE • I attended the Government Finance Officers Association Annual Conference at the Convention Center in Minneapolis Saturday June 4 through Wednesday June 8. The Minnesota Government Finance Officers Association was hosting the Annual Conference, so there were a couple of days that I had to work the Conference. The Sessions that I was able to attend, however, were very good. I obtained a lot of good information and exchanged notes with Finance Officers from around the U.S. • Budget preparation is underway! It should be a very interesting budget season as we are converting to program budgets. Don POLICE 1. Graduation week Open houses, all night parties, wild Seniors. It's not been too bad, so far.

Five well houses are to be given a new face lift. * On Monday the Public Works Department crew provided tours, of the water treatment plant and the maintenance garage, to approximately 130 elementary school students. After the tours, the children were given cookies and juice. * THANK YOU to everyone for your help and cooperation in getting the buildings and equipment cleaned and polished for the tours. * Bill Hanson and Bill Hanggi installed a flush out system in the Reclaim Tank at the Water Treatment Plant #1. The installation of this system will reduce the amount of time spent cleaning the recovery tank. * Wally Mortenson and Larry Decheine went to North St.Paul on Tuesday with the camera to televise the sewers. It appears the city was doing some root cutting work and lost the blade. Mark from North St. Paul called with a big THANK YOU ! Mike JCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GREENFIELD PONDS Northern Dewatering is currently operating a dewatering system on the end of the cul-de-sac in the Greenfield Ponds Development. Earlier this spring, a watermain in that area broke and the dewatering is necessary so that crews can go in and repair the main. Staff has received a few calls from neighbors in the vicinity complaining about the noise from the compressor doing the dewatering so, Northern was asked to construct a temporary enclosure around the equipment to help decrease the noise. Hopefully this will alleviate the problem somewhat. Dewatering should be completed by the early part of next week (June 13). HOUSING STOCK ANALYSIS Staff has completed a windshield survey on approximately 1100 single family homes in Mounds View. The homes are being rated on a scale of 1 to 5 on a specific list of items and, scores are kept track of on a Lotus spreadsheet developed by Staff. Additionally, data was received from Ramsey County on the houses in Mounds View and this information will be incorporated into the final report on the housing stock. Paul H.
