Item Description: Consideration of Issuance of Advanced Refunding Bonds
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report
- Comments attached. 1'
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement s Bets as necessary.)
FUMMARY%
Bob Thistle of Springsted, our financial advisory firm on bond issues,
will be present at the April 5, 1993 Council Work Session to discuss the
feasibility of advance refunding two City bond issues. Advance
refunding is the issuance of bonds to pay off outstanding bonds before
their due date. A cost savings is realized because the new(refunding)
bonds are issued at a lower interest rate than the old(refunded) bonds.
Attached is a copy of Mr. Thistle's recommendations. The bond issues
being considered are:
• General Obligation Water Revenue Bonds, Series
1991A($2,875, 000)
• General Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1989B($930, 000)
Mr. Thistle's recommendations outline the advance refunding procedures
and provide an analysis of each issue being considered for advance
refunding. Basically what is being proposed is capsulized in the
following paragraphs.
The net interest rate on the callable maturities of the General
Obligation Water Revenue Bonds, Series 1991A is 6.77%. Based on current
market conditions it is estimated that refunding bonds could be issued
at a net interest rate of 5.37% which would result in a total savings of
$166, 000.
The net interest rate on the callable maturities of the General
Obligation Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1989B is 6.71%. Based on current
market conditions it is estimated that refunding bonds could be issued
at a net interest rate of 4 . 69% which would result in a total savings of
$42, 900.

Item Description:
Request for No Parking on Clearview Ave.
between 9:00 p.m _and 2 :00 a.m.
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report •
- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY;
Attached is a petition for No Parking on Clearview Avenue (Iron-
dale Road to Edgewood Drive) between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and
2:00 a.m. The petition was circulated due to patrons of 'Robert's
Off 10' parking in the neighborhood. The police have verified
that there are upwards of a dozen vehicles parked on various
nights. Staff supports the request of the residents, but there
are reservations regarding the impact of the perking restric-
tions.
The concerns are that the vehicles displaced by the parking
restrictions will park on Ridge Lane, Irondale Road, or other
adjacent street. Some have parked in these areas in the past. One
possible strategy would simply be to respond to concerns from
each street in response to complaints. The other strategy would
be to contact all residents in the area to determine if the
parking restrictions should be enacted over the entire area
instead of just adding Clearview.
Staff is asking for direction from Council. If Council does wish
to proceed with the request from Clearview immediately, this
could be put on the April 12 Council Meeting Agenda.

Item Description:
Trade In Proposal for Skid Loader
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report
- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY;
In 1992 the City purchased a New Holland skid loader from Carlson
Equipment. The vendor recently approached the City with an offer
to replace the skid loader and possibly continue in the future
with annual replacements. The proposal is partially sponsored by
Ford / New Holland through their incentive packages to governmen-
tal agencies. The agency must own and maintain the skid loader
for one year, and provided the agency has a good preventive
maintenance program and the skid loader has been kept in good
condition, the agency is allowed to trade in the skid loader for
the model year price increase.
The benefits are that the skid loader would continue to be under
factory warranty, wear items like tires need not be replaced by
the agency, and equipment maintenance is reduced. The cost to the
City is $1,000 . During this year, the skid loader will require
new tires and an annual tune-up and service, which would cost
approximately $800. Therefore, the out of pocket cost is about
$200 more than the tire replacement and service. Since the fac-
tory warranty is extended and there is less likelihood of down
time and repairs, this appears to be a good investment.
Staff requests Council direction on this matter.

Item Description: Update on Collective Bargaining Proposed Settlements
•
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report
- Comments attached.
•
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY:
The police union representatives, Timothy Ramacher and myself have met
several times since last Fall to settle the labor contract for 1993 . At the
end of March, the following settlement was proposed and accepted by the
union on April 1, 1993, pending Council approval:
1993 Proposed Labor Contract Provisions - Police Patrol/Detectives
* 2 . 95% increase to base wage.
* $15. 00/month increase in City's portion of health insurance
contribution (this is the same amount previously approved for
non-union employees) . Total City contribution = $300. 00/month.
* $20. 00/year additional for uniform allowance. Total yearly
uniform allowance = $495.
In addition to negotiations with the patrol officers, Timothy Ramacher and
I met several times in the past few months to negotiate a 1993 salary
increase for the police sergeants. In the past, the sergeants have been
included in whatever annual compensation adjustments were given to the non-
union personnel. However, in light of the impact of their salaries to the
overall compensation schedule in terms of compliance with Pay Equity
standards and practices, it was necessary to evaluate their compensation
separately. In addition, there were issues to be addressed that were "hold
overs" from years ago when their positions were created - namely, the issue
of compensation for court duty.
The proposed settlement agreement that has been reached with the police
sergeants is as follows:
* 2.75% increase in base pay.
* $15.00/month increase in City contribution to health insurance
(Again, this is the same . - _ - union)
RECOMMENDATION;

* $20.00/year increase in uniform allowance. Same as patrol.
* Premium pay (time and a half) for all holidays worked.
* Time and a half compensation (choice of pay or flex time) for
off duty court time.
The proposed base pay settlement is consistent with the City's
policy of maintaining compliance with Pay Equity standards and
practices. The premium pay for holidays is a non-base pay
compensation that is a fair and equitable compensation commonly
practiced in the majority of Metropolitan cities and again
consistent with our attempts to remain in compliance with Pay
Equity.
If Council concurs with the provisions of the proposed settlement,
the issue will be placed on the consent agenda for the April 12th
Council meeting.

,SUMMARY;
The one year moratorium on Adult Uses-Principal will expire at the end of
May. The Council needs to consider what steps to take in regards to the
continuation or termination of the ordinance. If the moratorium is extended
for an additional year due to the fact that the Comp. Plan has yet to be
finalized, the Council may want to consider "firming up" the clause on
massage to address the issue of therapeutic massage.

The City Council of the City of Mounds View does
hereby ordain:
(Added portions are underscored and deleted portions are shown in
brackets. )
Section 1. PREAMBLE
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the
summary of the "report of the Attorney General's Working Group on
Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses" , dated June 6, 1989,
prepared by Hubert H. Humphrey, III, Attorney General of the State
of Minnesota/Olmstead County Planning Department "Adult
Entertainment Report" dated March 2, 1988, and "A 40-Acre Study"
prepared by the St. Paul Division of Planning in 1987 , all of which
reports are hereafter collectively referred to as "Reports" ; and
WHEREAS, the Reports considered evidence from studies
conducted in Minneapolis and St. Paul and in other cities
throughout the country relating to sexually oriented businesses;
and
WHEREAS, the Attorney General's Report, based upon the above
referenced studies and the testimony presented to it has concluded
"that sexually oriented businesses are associated with high crime
rates and depression of property values. " In addition, the
Attorney General's Working Group". . .heard testimony that the
character of a neighborhood can dramatically change when there is
a concentration of sexually oriented businesses adjacent to
residential property. " ; and
WHEREAS, the Reports conclude that Adult Uses-Principal have
an impact on the neighborhoods surrounding them which is distinct
from the impact caused by other commercial uses; and
WHEREAS, the Reports conclude that residential neighborhoods
located within close proximity to adult theaters, bookstores and
other Adult Uses-Principal experience increase crime rates (sex-
1
related crimes in particular) , lowered property values, increased
transiency, and decreased stability of ownership; and
WHEREAS, the Reports conclude the adverse impacts which Adult-
Uses Principal have on surrounding areas diminish as the distance
from the Adult Uses-Principal increases; and
WHEREAS, the Reports conclude that studies of other cities
have shown that among the crimes which tend to increase 'either
within or in the near vicinity of Adult Uses-Principal are rapes,
prostitution, child molestation, indecent exposure and other lewd
and lascivious behavior; and
WHEREAS, the Reports conclude that the City of Phoenix,
Arizona study confirmed that the sex crime rate was on the average
500 percent higher in areas with sexually oriented businesses; and
WHEREAS, the Reports conclude that many members of the public
perceive areas within which Adult Uses-Principal are located as
less safe than other areas which do not have such uses; and
WHEREAS, the Reports conclude that studies of other cities
have shown that the values of both commercial and residential
properties either are diminished or fail to appreciate at the rate
of other comparable properties when located in proximity to Adult
Uses-Principal; and
WHEREAS, the Reports conclude that the Indianapolis, Indiana
study established that professional real estate appraisers believe
that an adult bookstore would have a negative effect on the value
of both residential and commercial properties within a one to three
block area of the store; and
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council finds the suburban
characteristics of Mounds View are similar to those of the cities
cited by the Reports when considering the affects of Adult Uses-

Item Description: Discussion of Code Enforcement Position
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
$IJMMARY;
Staff has met recently to establish a priority and timeline schedule for
the Code Enforcement position. A number of factors were considered in the
establishment of the schedule, including: whether the intent of the
position is to be reactive or proactive, what priority is given to
different conditions within the City and, amount of time available for the
position versus the amount of work to be done.
Following discussion, a priority list for the position was established as
follows:
1) Resident complaints - respond to all citizen inquiries in
a timely manner.
2) Obvious Zoning and Sign Violations - place emphasis on
compliance in the high visual impact areas of the City.
Specifically, the Highway 10 corridor and other commercial
and industrial sites within the City.
3) Proactive Enforcement - this would include "driving" the
entire City at least once per month to document and
address code violations in the lower density and
residential areas.
Time allotment was based on available hours and the workload at different
times of the year. Because the summer months are customarily the busiest
of the year, a greater number of hours will be devoted to the position at
that time. The breakdown of hours is as follows:
January - 20 hrs. July - 80 hrs.
February - 20 hrs. August - 60 hrs.
March - 30 hrs. September - 40 hrs.
April - 40 hrs. October - 30 hrs.
May - 80 hrs. November - 20 hrs.
June - 80 hrs. 'ecember - 20 hrs.

STAFF REPORT
APRIL 1, 1993
PAGE TWO
It should be noted that these figures are approximations and actual
hours devoted to the position - not to exceed 520 hours for the
entire year - will be based on workload. Staff feels these monthly
levels will be sufficient to provide quality code enforcement
however, some adjustment may be necessary as the actual workload
becomes more apparent.
Although not listed as a priority, staff would like the position to
also work on establishing an inventory of all uses/properties along
the Highway 10 corridor. This inventory would include all relevant
zoning information on the property (i.e. parking capacity,
setbacks, principal use, signage, etc. ) . Eventually,
rehabilitation of properties along Highway 10 will take place and
this information would be invaluable in setting policy on bringing
existing and proposed uses/properties into conformance with current
codes. Staff is hoping to do the majority of this work in the late
fall and winter months. Again, the ability to get to this project
will be based on workload in the top three priority areas.
Any questions the Council may have on the priority list and time
schedule will be addressed Monday evening.

Item Description: Discussion of Extension of Greenwood Drive
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report _�yrJ
- Comments attached. Apr
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY;
In response to resident inquiries, Staff has recently explored the
potential for the extension of Greenwood Drive north of Sherwood Road
(please see attached map) . A number of oversized lots abutting the
Greenwood Drive Right-of-Way have the potential of being subdivided into
.very attractive single family residential lots. Staff has discussed this
item with the Planning Commission and they unanimously support the idea of
sending an informational letter to property owners who would be affected
by the extension. The letter would explain the process of creating a
special assessment district and, give an approximate cost associated with
the development of the street to those property owners. Residents would
• be asked to respond to the City on a survey form included with the
informational letter.
The purpose of the letter is two-fold. (1) the survey will give Staff a
definitive feel for how receptive residents are to the idea of extending
Greenwood Drive and, (2) the success of the letter and survey (or lack
thereof) can provide Staff with an idea of how to deal with similar
situations within the City in the future (i.e. the extension of Knollwood
Drive south of Ardan Avenue) .
If deemed appropriate by the Council, Staff will begin drafting the
informational letter and survey. A copy of both will be provided to the
Council prior to mailing.

Item Description: City Hall Expansion
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report
- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
,SUMMARY:
Staff has contacted Short-Elliott-Hendrickson regarding the
feasibility of their providing architectural services for the
proposed City Hall expansion. The estimated cost from SEH is
$17 ,000 to prepare detailed plans and specifications. This is
based on staff preparing the conceptual layout and SEH using the
layout to create detailed architectural, electrical and mechani-
cal plans and specifications. This is a very rough estimate and
SEH felt it may go down depending on the amount of City staff
involvement.
The question for Council is two-fold. First, should staff send
out Requests for Proposals; and second, how much involvement
should staff commit to this project. The estimate is more than I
originally anticipated and is in the amount that we would normal-
ly ask for RFP's; but, this is not necessarily required. RFP's
would allow staff to review a number of firms, but that becomes
an additional time commitment and slows the time line for actual
expansion work.
Staff involvement in the design and layout would necessarily
impact some of the time tables for goals discussed last Monday at
the special work session. If staff involvement is limited to the
minimum, the cost of services may increase somewhat.
Staff would like to get direction from Council regarding whether
to request proposals, what time line to establish for the project
ang the extent of staff involvement.

Item Description: Lakeside Park Operations
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report
- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY;
I have prepared a grant application for the funding of the bridge at
Silver View Park. Not a bridge to span over the pond, but rather a
bridge to span over the storm water ditch along the path leading from
the sidewalk on Silver Lake Road to the playground/picnic shelter area.
The steep slopes on either side of the ditch do not comply with ADA
regulations. For a paved path to be installed, the slopes need to be
lessened. A bridge would accomplish this, whereas, a culvert would not.
The bridge would be pre-fab and made of steel. I have talked with many
people who have these bridges and no one has had vandalism problems.
This bridge funding was not eligible for LAWCON funding. However,
• LAWCON funding has been received for the paving of the path on the north
side of the pond, including this area leading from Silver Lake Road to
Long Lake Road, providing an excellent connector to the new Long Lake
Road sidewalk.
ISTEA, a new funding source for trailways and enhancements does allow
the funding of pedestrian and bike bridges. Therefore, I hope to submit
this grant, and I think that it has a very good chance of funding
because it meets criteria and is ready to go right now, in conjunction
with the paving of the path with the LAWCON grant -- hopefully, this
Spring or early summer.
The grant asks a 20% community contribution. We have already committed
our parks ' money in 1993 to projects and the match for the LAWCON grant.
I have discussed the situation with the Parks and Recreation Commission.
It is their recommendation to the City Council that we ask for a loan
from the City for the $12,500.00 and pay it back next year with our 1994
Park Dedication Fees.
The grant will be submitted for $50,000. 00 (the minimum) and will
include the paving of Greenfield Park pathway as well as the bridge. If
you recall, the paving of Greenfield Park path is a priority and goal of
the . Parks and Recreation Commission.
Mary Sa non, - ` of Parks, Recreation & Forestry
• RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the loan of$12,500 from the City for the 20% contribution for an ISTEA grant for the installation of a
bridge for Silver View Park storm water ditch intersecting the path, and for the paving of the Greenfield Park trail-
to be repaid to the City with the 1994 Park Dedication fee from the Everest Development.

Item Description: Discussion Regarding Process for Senior Center Decisions
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report
- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY;
Tuesday night, March 30th, the Senior Center Task Force invited the members
of the Councils of the four participating cities to hear the Task Force's
Final Report.
The purpose of the meeting was to update the Councils on all actions and
decisions of the Task Force to date and to recommend action for
continuation of the process.
After discussion regarding the "next step", it was decided that each City
Council would have until June 15, 1993 to either approve or reject the
attached resolution (or some form thereof) which, in essence, indicates
support for the concept and commitment to participate in the next step -
the drafting of a proposed Joint Powers Agreement.
The date of June 15th was a compromise of the four cities, especially the
cities of Fridley and Spring Lake Park who felt they needed more time to
conduct public hearings. The original date for approval/denial of the
resolution had been May 15th.
This item is placed on the agenda to allow the Council opportunity to
discuss its reactions to the proposed resolution and any subsequent action
to be taken.

SUBJECT: Quarterly Report - First Quarter 1993
• The Auditors have completed their field work and Finance Staff
are preparing the Annual Financial Report. A formal presentation
of the results of the audit and the Annual Financial Report will
be scheduled for late April or early May.
• Applications for renewal of the City's insurance policies have
been prepared and submitted to underwriters for a quotation. I
will be meeting with the City's insurance agent to review
quotations when they are received. Expect to make a presentation
to Council the second meeting in April.
• Staff will print a limited number of 1993 Budget Books "in house"
to determine if we can produce a quality product. This appears
to be feasible now that we have binding equipment. If successful
we will realize a savings over having it commercially printed and
bound.
• The City's dental insurance renews May 1, 1993 . Rates increased
by 7%.
• I have been working with Springsted on the possibility of advance
refunding several of the City's outstanding bond issues. A
refunding bond could be issued at a lower interest rate than the
outstanding bonds. The new issue would be used to pay off the
old issue. This could result in a substantial savings to the
City in reduced interest costs.
• Jerry Skelly,Jr. and I have been working on an
audiovisual system for the Council Chambers that was
included in the 1993 Budget. The budgeted amount was
not enough for the complete system so we have submitted
a grant to the North Suburban Cable Commission for the
balance needed. The Commission will be considering
grant applications in late May or early June.
• I have been working with Lieutenant Dave Brick to
develop Lotus 123 spread sheets to record and summarize
police time records and statistics which they are
presently keeping track of manually.

Item Description: Rekeying of City buildings .
Administrator's Review/Recommendation:
- No comments to supplement this report

- Comments attached.
Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.)
SUMMARY
Due to the loss of front entrance and master keys, Staff had questioned
what should be done to maintain security for the City buildings. To
provide Council with a little background, the municipal buildings were
rekeyed in 1985. At this time, it was recommended that a better system
be put in place than what was chosen. With that system, an additional
master system for the Park buildings was added and that system had been
redone completely at least once in the past. Totally, the City has
three separate systems when counting the Police Department, which is
totally separate from the City buildings.
These three systems create confusion, duplication and a lack of complete
security for all city buildings. Since some, if not all locks must be
rekeyed, it has created a window of opportunity to enhance the City's
security system. This new system would enable the City, in the event of
another lost key situation, to rekey a single installation and possibly
not issue any new keys.
The City has received two quotes on different systems. They are as
follows:
Best Locks
Standard keyway $ 7,771.20
Patented keyway* 8, 389.75
Pin set and machine 1, 600. 00
Misc. & extra keys 500. 00
* Most secure system available

Based on the situation with the City's current lock system, Staff
recommends a complete upgrade and implementation of Option #4.

The City has four options, each of which have varying degrees of
security and cost. They are as follows:
1. Rekey nothing, which could jeopardize security and open
the City to possible liabilities related to the
situation.
2 . Rekey only the front doors which makes City Hall more
secure.
3 . Rekey all locks under the current system, which secures
the buildings, but does nothing to improve the lock
system.
4 . Rekey the entire City to the new Best Locks system,
which provides for a highly secure system. This system
has many possible combinations and is extremely easy to
manage.
All of these changes would be compatible with any additions or
remodeling of the City Hall facility.
