Changes to the Fee Schedule from 2008 to 2009 are highlighted in red and blue. There was no public comment at November 24, 2008, public hearing in regard to this Fee Schedule. However, the Public Hearing on the Fee Schedule was continued to allow Staff time to research business license fees. Discussion The City Council directed Staff to research what other communities charges for various business licensing fees. Below are the results of Staff Research: Amusement Device License: The City currently charges $15 per location plus $15 per machine for all amusement devices, which includes “pinball machines”, arcade machines, kiddie cars, etc. Staff found that some cities either charged a flat fee (for example, Forrest Lake charges $100.00) or they charge, like we do here in Mounds View, a fee per location in addition to a fee per machine. The Mermaid, Moe’s, Robert’s, and the Wynsonng Movie Theatre currently have Amusement Business Licenses. The Mermaid has the most amusement machines (41 machines). Attached is the League of Minnesota Cities Permit Survey for your reference. Staff recommends to not increase this fee. This fee seems to be consistent with the League’s survey. Automobile Sales: In accordance with Section 510.01, anyone who, as a part of their livelihood, engages in the regular sale, trade or exchange of automobiles shall be deemed to be doing business as a new or used automobile dealer. The City only has one car dealer, Saturn. The City currently charges, $158.00/year. After looking at the League of Minnesota Cities Permit Survey, Staff feels that the City should be charging more. For example, the City of New Brighton charges $190.00. Staff recommends revising this fee to $200.00/year. Bowling License: The Mermaid is the only bowling facility in Mounds View. The City currently charges $20 per alley, per year. The Mermaid paid $640.00 in 2008 (32 bowling alleys X $20 = $640). Staff recommends not to increase this fee. This fee seems to be consistent with the League’s survey. Cigarette/Tobacco License: The City currently charges $158.00/year for a Cigarette and Tobacco License. Researching the League of Minnesota Cities Survey, Staff recommends increasing this fee to $200.00/year. Most cities on the survey charge more than $150.00/year for this type of license. Liquor Licenses: According to the League of Minnesota Cities Survey, we are charging more than most cities for this type of license. Staff recommends to not increase these fees. Massage Licenses: Staff recommends to not increase this fee. Staff is not sure if the cities listed on the League Survey are including investigation fees for their massage licenses. The City has three licensed Therapeutic Massage Therapists and Staff requests more time to research. Peddler/Solicitor: Staff recommends to not increase this fee. The League Survey seems to include that we are charging more that most cities for this type of license. Restaurant: Staff recommends to not increase this fee. This fee seems to be consistent with the League’s survey. Recommendation: Make any necessary changes to the Fee Schedule and adopt Resolution 7369. Staff will provide the City Council a clean final draft when all changes are completed. Respectfully submitted, Desaree M.

Based upon the anticipated approval of the 2009 budget, Staff recommends a 3% cost of living adjustment effective January 1, 2009, and a monthly insurance contribution of $832.20 for all non-union employees, effective January 1, 2009. Attached for your consideration is Resolution 7373, authorizing a 3% cost of living adjustment and insurance contribution of $832.20.

Staff has been requested to investigate a replacement for the current podium, which is in poor repair and does not meet the needs of the City. Background Based on direction from the Council at the December 1, 2008, Work Session, Staff revised the podium specifications to include a second fold-up shelf and indicate load capacity for the fold-up shelves and contacted the vendors with revised information. Staff also revisited the options for off-the-shelf podiums as an alternative to custom-built. Discussion Quotes for the custom design were received from three vendors. Custom podium Alpha Video AVI Systems Wilkie Sanderson Podium $1822.00 $2749.00 $1379.00 Optional 2nd shelf not addressed included $330.00 Tax $118.43 $178.69 included Shipping/Delivery $180.00 $200.00 included Total $2120.43 $3127.69 $1709.00 The lowest quote for a custom podium was from Wilkie Sanderson at a cost of $1709 for a podium with two side shelves, or $1379 for a podium with one side shelf. This cost includes delivery and sales tax. Wilkie Sanderson did the millwork for the Council Chambers during the 2006 renovation, so should be able to make a podium that is an extremely good match to the existing materials in the room. Because the solid surface countertop is no longer available in the color used in Council Chambers, the top surface of the podium will be finished with the pink laminate used in other parts of City Hall. Staff investigated options for ready-made podiums with costs summarized below: Off-the-shelf podium K-Log Displays2Go VFI Podium $424.00 $1501.33 $1999.00 Side shelf $49.00 included included Second side shelf no no no Tax $30.75 $97.59 $129.94 Shipping/Delivery $96.10 $364.24 did not quote Total $599.85 $1963.16 $2128.94 + s/h Two of the off-the-shelf podiums would cost more than the lowest cost quote for a custom podium, so Staff does not recommend those as good options.

Discussion: The Housing Resource Center (HRC) is a division of the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) whose stated mission is to preserve, improve and increase affordable housing for low and moderate income families, as well as to assist communities with housing revitalization. The HRC provides construction management consultations, program administration, provides information on a variety of relevant housing programs and coordinates and manages several grant and loan programs geared toward home improvement and renovation. As the Council may recall, the HRC agreed last year to manage the City’s Housing Replacement Program’s demolition reimbursement component as part of the agreement, at no additional cost to the City. The fee for this contracted service is $11,000 which is reflected in the draft 2009 EDA budget 230-4650-3030.

On September 25, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution 6928 approving Change Order No. 1 for the project, which extended the specified completion date but resulted in no change to the contract amount. On October 8, 2007, the City Council held a Public Hearing and adopted Resolution 7169 approving the assessment roll for the project. Discussion: Nord Excavating Incorporated has requested that acceptance and final payment be made by the City for the Hidden Hollow South Utility and Street Improvement Project. All work has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the contract plans and specifications. The necessary contract documents have been provided. A copy of Request for Payment No. 4 & Final is included with this Staff Report, along with a project summary letter that provides a recap of the construction schedule and cost. The original contract amount was $177,723.00. There was one change order on the project, which modified only the specified completion date and did not alter the contract amount. The actual final construction cost is $185,895.41, and the final payment amount is $34,930.70. As noted in the project summary letter, the difference in the original contract amount and the actual final construction cost is due primarily to the 1-year delay in the wear course paving of the street from the original schedule of August 2007. The assessment roll for this project was adopted on October 8, 2007. The increase in construction cost due to the wear course delay was anticipated in the preparation of the assessment roll. The estimated construction cost used in the determination assessments was $185,884.32, which is a difference of only $11.09 from the actual final construction amount. Recommendation: Resolution 7379, accepting the project and authorizing final payment to the contractor, has been prepared and is included with this Staff Report. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution and make final payment for the Hidden Hollow South Utility and Street Improvement Project to Nord Excavating, Incorporated in the amount of $34,930.70.

The owner provided the City with the cost of each machine if we were interested in keeping any or all of the machines. The Council discussed this issue at the December 1 work session, at which point direction was provided to staff to acquire a pool table and the foosball table.. Discussion: Earlier this month, Pat Prindle, Program Director at the Community Center, let us know that the two pool tables, the foosball table and air hockey table, plus the change machine, were in jeopardy of being removed from the Community Center as they were not generating sufficient revenue, according to the owner of the machines. American Amusement Arcades, the owner, provided the City with a cost breakdown of the machines in the event we desired to purchase any or all of them. Also provided were the year–to-date revenues generated by the machines. Cost Rev 2008 Air Hockey - $700.00 $217.25 Tornado Foosball - $500.00 $ 87.50 Valley Pool Table - $700.00 $174.00 Valley Pool Table - $700.00 $101.00 Rowe Change Machine - $500.00 n/a While the air hockey machine brings in the most revenue, Pat Prindle suggested it would be better to keep the foosball table and one of the pool tables. The cost of the two indicated devices would total $1,200. As discussed, the drawback with the air hockey machine is one of maintenance and operation costs—it is the only motorized game which could not be self- maintained if owned by the City. It is also the least mobile of the machines. Subsequent to the Dec 1st meeting, I contacted a different vendor to determine if they would be interested in bringing in a replacement air hockey table and perhaps a basketball machine at no cost to the City. As of the writing of this report, I am unable to provide any further update on that possibility. Amusement Devices Report Dec 8, 2008 Page 2 Also on December 1st, the YMCA Advisory Committee met to review (among other things) the machines in question. The Committee felt it was beneficial to have some machines there to provide entertainment and activity alternatives for the families and individuals who use the Community Center, recommending acquisition of a pool table and foosball table. Recommendation: Staff and the YMCA Advisory Committee recommend acquisition of one pool table and the foosball table from American Amusement Arcades for $1,200. Attached to the report is Resolution 7378 to formalize the purchase utilizing funds from the Community Center account. Respectfully submitted, ________________________ James Ericson Clerk - Administrator RESOLUTION 7378 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ACQUISITION OF A POOL TABLE AND FOOSBALL TABLE FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER WHEREAS, American Amusement Arcades, the owner of the foosball table, pool tables and air hockey table at the Mounds View Community Center, notified the City of their intent to remove the machines along with the change dispensing machine; and, WHEREAS, the owner indicates that the revenues collected from these machines are not enough to justify keeping the machines at the Community Center; and, WHEREAS, the owner provided the City with an option to buy any or all of the machines by written correspondence in November of 2008; and, WHEREAS, the YMCA Advisory Committee reviewed the options and assessed the value of the machines to the overall function of the facility, finding that it would be beneficial to retain one pool table and the foosball table; and, WHEREAS, the City Council considered the relevant options at meetings on November 24 and December 1, 2008, and directed staff to prepare a resolution to formalize the acquisition consistent with the Committee’s recommendation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council authorizes the purchase of one pool table and the foosball table from American Amusement Arcades in the amount of $1,200, from the Community Center Fund, account no. 252-4350-1230.

She then said that she objects to the lowering of the 2 parking. 3 4 Ken Glidden of 5240 Edgewood Drive said that it is hard to tell what the benefits would be. He 5 then said that he would hope that there is fairness in treatment of these applicants as well as 6 conformance to the Code. 7 8 Sherry Gunn attended on behalf of the Planning Commission and noted that they reviewed this 9 proposal and parking was carefully considered by the Planning Commission, and determined that 10 the plan, as proposed, is adequate for parking. 11 12 Hearing no further comments, Mayor Marty closed the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. 13 14 Council Member Mueller asked where a drive through type of business would be located on the 15 plan. 16 17 Clerk Administrator Ericson indicated that this request is to create the parcel and, once created, 18 the developer would need to create a site plan for consideration of approval. 19 20 Council Member Flaherty commented that he does not believe parking is a big issue as he has not 21 seen the parking lot too full. The park and ride lot may need to be removed to accommodate 22 necessary parking. 23 24 Dan Hall pointed out that the hotel was designed for four floors and only was built as three. 25 26 Mayor Marty said that he goes past the Mermaid all the time and he has seen the parking lot 27 relatively empty and, at other times, there are quite a few cars parked there. However, there are 28 always parking stalls available. 29 30 Mayor Marty said that he has never seen the parking lot full and the types of development being 31 proposed to be brought in does not seem to be the type to create large amounts of traffic as there 32 is not the space for it. 33 34 Mayor Marty indicated that he is concerned about the Park and Ride lease and the ability to move 35 the cars around back, or the fact that the lease is year to year and can be eliminated if necessary, 36 and would like that listed in the resolution. 37 38 MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Mueller.

The letter indicates that 21 there are regulations for requiring a generator backup to allow communications to continue in an 22 emergency situation. Verizon is not willing to provide any compensation for use of City property 23 as they view this as a simple gas line running to a facility much like with a gas line to a 24 residential property. 25 26 Clerk Administrator Ericson clarified a previous statement made, in that the City Attorney agrees 27 that it would not be typical for a city to ask for compensation in this circumstance, however, it is 28 entirely reasonable to do so. 29 30 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7333 31 Approving Lease Agreement #3 with Verizon Wireless for the Installation of a Generator at the 32 Water Tower Site. 33 34 Council Member Stigney indicated that the FCC requires generator power and he feels that 35 Verizon should pay something for the use of City property to run a gas line and for restoration of 36 the easement area. 37 38 Tammy Bernard, representing Verizon, indicated that they can meet FCC requirements by using 39 battery backup, but the FCC prefers a gas line to the generator for longer term backup. 40 41 Council Member Stigney said that he feels that the City should be paid for the use of the right of 42 way. 43 44 Mounds View City Council October 13, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 8 Mayor Marty indicated that he agreed that there is nothing in that ground right now and Xcel 1 would be disturbing the site to install the gas line, and the City should be compensated for that. 2 3 MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To Amend to Require Verizon to Pay a Fee for Use of the 4 Right of Way. 5 6 Council Member Mueller said that she sees the Verizon service as a benefit to residents as the 7 City has seen that the phone lines are changing from landlines to cell phone use, and Verizon is a 8 large supplier of that service. She then said that she would not want to do anything to harm 9 resident’s service over some unknown expense to run a gas line through City property to allow 10 backup coverage in the event of a catastrophe. 11 12 Council Member Hull asked if Attorney Riggs gave any recommendation of what fee would be 13 reasonable. 14 15 Clerk Administrator Ericson indicated that he discussed with the City Attorney the need to 16 differentiate this situation because this is a lease situation where Verizon is leasing space from 17 the City as a for profit entity. The Attorney’s opinion is that since Verizon needs to increase the 18 amount of property they are leasing it is reasonable to require a fee. 19 20 Council Member Stigney indicated that there is an amendment to use a diesel generator for 21 backup and, this has nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with what is fair and 22 equitable for the use of the City’s property by a for profit entity. 23 24 Ayes – 2(Marty/Stigney) Nays – 3 Amendment failed. 25 26 Ayes – 3 Nays – 2 (Marty/Stigney) Original Motion carried. 27 28 8.

Reports of Mayor and Council 31 32 Mayor Marty noted that the Northwest YMCA is sending home fliers with kids advertising 33 programs and that is in direct competition with the Mounds View programs with the YMCA and 34 there is not enough attendance so some of the Mounds View youth sports activities have been 35 cancelled. 36 37 Mayor Marty indicated he received an invitation from Pinewood Elementary to attend the Annual 38 Fall Parade on October 31, 2008 at 11:15 a.m. Mayor Marty asked anyone that could to try and 39 attend the parade as it is fun. 40 41 Mayor Marty reminded everyone to get out and vote. 42 43 Council Member Hull provided information to Council on a request from a resident for a sign 44 noting “autistic child area.” There is also a program that New Brighton has started that is a wrist 45 Mounds View City Council October 27, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 6 or ankle band that residents buy, and they are a GPS tracking device in case there is an issue with 1 an autistic child or vulnerable adult. 2 3 Clerk Administrator Ericson agreed to look into the information provided by contacting New 4 Brighton and the League of Minnesota Cities. 5 6 B. Reports of Staff 7 8 Clerk Administrator Ericson noted that there was a joint meeting of the Parks Commission and 9 the Streets and Utilities Committee to discuss a way to ensure that future street projects do not 10 cause issues with the parks. The Parks Commission does not feel that any additional parking is 11 necessary and they are recommending that the City does not include it in the street project. 12 13 Council Member Mueller said that there was concern with barrier curbs that they would cause 14 traffic congestion. She then said that she would like to have the residents on Greenwood, 15 Hillview and Long Lake Road come to the work session to discuss this parking issue. 16 17 The Park Commission representative commented that residents that live on Hillview felt that 18 existing parking is adequate. The traffic issues are when the first teams are leaving and the next 19 teams are coming and that is about 30 nights per summer. 20 21 Clerk Administrator Ericson noted he attended the North Metro Mayor’s Association meeting 22 and received updates from other metro counties. 23 24 Clerk Administrator Ericson noted that the Chamber is interested in leasing out the office they 25 had previously leased, and they are exploring the option of picking up the second office space as 26 well. 27 28 Clerk Administrator Ericson said that he met with Springsted for three hours to discuss the HAY 29 points for the positions that the City has to arrive at an appropriate wage. He did note that the 30 salary being advertised for the public works salary is commensurate with other communities in 31 the study area. Staff plans to ask reauthorization to advertise for this position. 32 33 Clerk Administrator Ericson asked Council whether they would like to review the budget before 34 the truth-in-taxation hearing.

COUNCIL BUSINESS 1 2 A. Public Meeting to Discuss Parking Issues at Hillview Park. 3 4 Clerk Administrator Ericson noted that this meeting was set to take public comment on parking 5 issues at Hillview Park. The Park and Recreation Commission has expressed concern with the 6 encroachment of parking into the park area. Staff notified 55 properties, the Streets and Utilities 7 Task Force, and the Park and Recreation Commission about the meeting. 8 9 Josie Warren of 8044 Greenwood Drive said that she has lived here since 1977 and she is in 10 favor of the proposal to provide additional parking for Hillview Park. She then said that the City 11 began upgrading park buildings including Hillview and, she questioned the cost of that building 12 and was told that it was needed to provide a neighborhood gathering space and promote park use. 13 Hillview Park does not have adequate parking for the new building. 14 15 Russ Warren of 8044 Greenwood Drive said that with the parking on Hillview. He is not that 16 concerned about the number but, if the park building is to be an attraction to residents, then the 17 parking is needed. He then said that he is more concerned about Greenwood because he drives 18 the street between 5:00 and 8:00 p.m. and he would like to consider indenting the parking that 19 would leave more space between the driver and the people walking. Mr. Warren indicated that 20 he does not feel that if this is done here, that it has to be done in other locations, however, it 21 would have to be looked at for other locations. 22 23 Valerie Amundsen, 3048 Bronson Drive said that she is on the Streets Committee and she did 24 read over the document that the Parks Commission submitted and wanted to comment. The 25 recommendation of the Streets Committee came because there was information submitted that 26 there was a parking need that was not being met. 27 28 Ms. Amundsen said that if the City decided to spend park funds on this facility then the parking 29 should be provided to support it. The Committee is trying to make sure that the nine years of 30 streets get done. She was the person who suggested using some of the park dedication funds 31 because there were funds that were to be used for the other trail and that was her thinking. 32 33 Gerald Arel of 7750 Greenwood Drive said that he is a Park Commission member and a member 34 of the baseball league who uses the park. The Park Commission had a number of reasons for its 35 recommendation against the proposed parking on Greenwood and Hillview. He then said that 36 safety is a number one concern. Mr. Arel said that he feels that this parking would have a cost to 37 the park in terms of safety and that is why they have recommended against it. 38 39 Mayor Marty said that he has coached since T-ball and Gerry does come out and tours the games 40 as they go on to see how things are going. He then said that the most active use of that park in 41 his opinion, is the baseball. 42 43 Mounds View City Council November 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 3 Sherry Gunn, 5459 Landmark Circle suggested moving the parking stalls away from the 1 playground if there is going to be angled parking. She then said that she is concerned about 2 angled parking and vehicle u-turns. 3 4 Jim Kavanaugh said that additional parking is needed so that people do not have to park in the 5 neighborhoods. There are no sidewalks and that forces people to walk in the street to get to the 6 park. His recommendation would be to approve the plan as recommended by the Streets and 7 Utilities Committee. 8 9 Cindy Palm of 2266 Terrace Drive said that there are a few homes near the park but she feels that 10 this could be solved by opening this up for parking on both sides of the street. She then said that 11 she does not think that this is cost effective or necessary when parking is available on the street 12 already if it is opened up to allow parking. 13 14 Jerry Kunz, Chair of Park Commission, said that the thing that got his attention is the price tag 15 for this. Changing from parallel to angled costs $71,000 and only gains the City 10 spots. He 16 then said that he feels this is not the best use of the City’s resources. 17 18 Council Member Mueller said she has never coached but she uses the parks. She then said that 19 there are usually 15 kids for one team so that is 30 kids, and 3 coaches so that is about 30 cars at 20 the park for that time and there are about 15 parallel parking spots along Hillview. Random Park 21 has its own parking lot, which is a good thing. She then said that she does not like the price but 22 she does know that the streets being put in will make it more difficult for parking to carry on as it 23 is because they will not be able to pull onto the boulevard with the barrier curb. 24 25 Council Member Mueller said that she feels that the parking as proposed is needed for the 26 future. 27 28 Council Member Flaherty further stated he feels that the funding comes out of streets and utilities 29 and not park dedication fees. He then said that he is concerned about the parking in that area but 30 how to accomplish it is the question. 31 32 Council Member Flaherty said that the bump out on Greenwood does not make sense to him as 33 you lose two spots. 34 35 Council Member Flaherty said that it concerns him that people would be turning around in 36 residence driveways to park on Hillview. He then suggested a parking lot next to the hockey rink 37 or removal of the hockey rink to add a parking lot. 38 39 Council Member Hull indicated that he is leaning toward Option 1 with keeping Greenwood as it 40 is as he feels that is the most cost efficient way to accommodate parking with the lowest cost. 41 42 Mayor Marty thanked everyone for their input. He then said that cutting 15 feet off of the area 43 behind the backstop would further congest the area where the spectators sit and the pitchers 44 Mounds View City Council November 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 4 warm up. He further said that he does not think that angled parking should be used there nor 1 does he feel that a bump out is necessary. 2 3 Mayor Marty said that he feels that Option 1 with angled parking on the east side of Hillview 4 with angled parking up near the park building seems to make the most sense. 5 6 Mayor Marty suggested allowing parking on both sides of the street from May through August 7 from 1:00 to 9:00 p.m. 8 9 Clerk Administrator Ericson said that he would research the reason the no parking was specified 10 and bring that information back to Council. He then suggested considering straight in stalls 11 rather than angled parking as that would allow for three more stalls. 12 13 Joe Rhein, city Engineer from Bonestroo, indicated that straight in parking requires six additional 14 feet of length. He then said that the Parks Supervisor has recommended Option 1. 15 16 Dale Aukee, of 2458 Sherwood Road, said that there would need to be some access on the west 17 side of Hillview building for flooding of the ice rink because with the barrier curb the vehicles 18 would not be able to drive over the curb. 19 20 Council Member Flaherty said that, if no one wants to discuss a parking lot, then his preferred 21 option would be Option 1. He then said that he wants to make sure that City Staff has access to 22 the park for whatever purpose so a curb cut of some sort will be needed. 23 24 Mayor Marty indicated that the cost of asphalt has more than tripled. He then said that less 25 asphalt is being created so there are asphalt shortage which means the price continues to go up. 26 That means that the street project costs may have doubled or more. 27 28 Council Member Stigney said that he would like to go with Option 1 for $28,700 whether there is 29 a bituminous or concrete sidewalk should be dependent upon pricing. On Greenwood he said 30 there should be no dollars spent for additional parking. 31 32 John Kroeger, 8280 Pleasant View Drive, said that in looking at the information, the costs for 33 parking spots is the same for both options and then asked what costs went into the $71,000 34 estimate. Joe Rhein indicated that the additional costs were for widening and bumping out the 35 street. 36 37 Mayor Marty asked whether there would be enough room for a parking lane. 38 39 A resident commented that the road would be narrow without the bump out on Greenwood. 40 41 Staff asked for direction on how to proceed with a Resolution for Council to consider. 42 43 Council Member Hull recommended Option 1 and asked Staff to prepare the information for 44 consideration. 45 Mounds View City Council November 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 5 1 Council Member Flaherty said that he does not want to give up two parking spaces so he does 2 not agree with the bump out. He then said that he would agree with Option 1. 3 4 Council Member Mueller said that she feels that Option 1 is a nice compromise and could agree 5 to it. She then said that she is pleased that the street project will not have to purchase property 6 for a pond. 7 8 Mayor Marty agreed to the no bump out on Greenwood and to consider Option 1. He then said 9 that he would like to consider parking on both sides of Hillview and asked Staff to provide 10 historical information as to why the no parking was instituted. 11 12 Jim Battin, Streets and Utility Committee Member, asked Council to consider that if parking is 13 allowed on Hillview, it is a major part of the pedestrian bike trail and taking out the biking trail 14 eliminates options for bike lanes on Hillview. 15 16 Council directed staff bring back a resolution amending Resolution 7307 to approve option 1 (15 17 stalls) on Hillview and no bump out on Greenwood Drive. 18 19 B. Resolution 7352, Considering Appeals for the Stormwater Infiltration 20 Program on the 2009-2010 Street and Utility Improvement Program. 21 22 Clerk Administrator Ericson provided an overview of the appeals for Council and noted that 23 Staff does not feel that the requests for appeal are justified and would recommend not allowing 24 the exemption. 25 26 Tom Winiecki of 2748 Sherwood Road said that the Council has decided against him again. He 27 then said that he does not want a ditch in front of his house that is 75 feet long. He further asked 28 why he is not allowed a vote in this matter. 29 30 Mayor Marty indicated that the Council was elected by the residents to vote on their behalf. 31 32 Council Member Flaherty explained that Mr. Winiecki had asked Council, by bringing in a 33 bucket of asphalt, to fix his street. He then said that a task force was created and there has been a 34 plan created and this is one of the details of the plan. 35 36 Evelyn Pomper’s daughter of 2600 Sherwood Road said that there was an offer to look at the 37 sideyard on Greenwood and they would like the city to explore that option. Evelyn said that she 38 is concerned about water in her basement if water is routed to her property for infiltration. 39 40 Joe Rhein explained that the City is required to treat water with infiltration ponds in order to 41 move forward with the street program. He then said that the forester did indicate that an 42 infiltration feature could be constructed with no detriment to the tree but there is room in the 43 sideyard to construct one as well. 44 45 Mounds View City Council November 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 6 Jim Kavanaugh, 7956 Red Oak, said that he has lived at his residence for 36 years and they are 1 scheduled for a water garden but they look forward to it. He then said that Rice Creek does 2 require that overall water needs to be handled, however, there is nothing that says it has to be in a 3 certain location. There are people in the area that would be willing to have a garden rather than 4 force it on those that do not want them. He then said that he feels it is poor public policy and bad 5 community relations to force a rain garden on them when there are people willing to have them 6 instead. 7 8 Bob Glazer, member of the Streets and Utilities Committee provided photographs to the Council 9 for review. He then said that he does not see how the rain gardens are going to work with barrier 10 curbs. 11 12 Joe Rhein indicated that moving one rain garden may require replacing it with two in another 13 location. The rain gardens, as proposed, are designed to handle the required stormwater for this 14 project. 15 16 Valerie Amundsen said that this is the first of nine street projects so this establishes the city 17 policy and practice going forward. She then said that if there is an appeals process available to 18 people she would want to make sure that each individual case is heard and considered. She then 19 said that this is a big deal to some people and she would hope that the City would take that into 20 account. 21 22 Mayor Marty said that he would like to try working with the property owners in this case to come 23 to agreement as best is possible. 24 25 Council Member Mueller asked how many swale areas were identified. Joe Rhein indicated that 26 there were 104 noticed. 27 28 Council Member Flaherty commented that he was pleased that Ms. Pomper said that she did not 29 like the rain garden in front and then asked if the City would consider using the sideyard because 30 that shows that she is willing to work with the City. 31 32 Council Member Hull asked whether the City would be liable for any water that fills a basement 33 after the swale is constructed. Joe Rhein explained that the swale is designed to hold 12 inches 34 of water and, if there is more than that, it backflows out to the street and flows down the street. 35 36 MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7352, 37 Considering Appeals for the Stormwater Infiltration Program on the 2009-2010 Street and Utility 38 Improvement Program as Amended to Move the Swale from the front Yard to the Sideyard. 39 40 Council Member Stigney asked whether a sideyard swale would provide the same amount of 41 water infiltration. Joe Rhein indicated that it should do so as long as the swale will fit in the 42 sideyard. 43 44 Ayes – 4 Nays – 1(Mueller) Motion carried. 45 Mounds View City Council November 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 7 1 C. Resolution 7353, Ordering the Public Improvement Project for Lake Court 2 Drive and Lake Court Circle. 3 Clerk Administrator Ericson reviewed the improvement project for Lake Court Drive and Lake 4 Court Circle noting that the Association will agree to bring the streets up to City standards and 5 the City will accept the streets. 6 7 Council Member Flaherty said that he is concerned about the bid amounts and whether there 8 would be any issue with the City incurring additional costs. He then said that he would approve 9 of moving this forward but would like to wait on the street transfer agreement. 10 11 Council Member Stigney said that in the Petition it says that the Association would have to pay 12 $415,000 but the bids are not known at this time and that concerns him. 13 14 Council Member Stigney indicated that he is concerned and would like the Attorney to look into 15 this before anything is signed. 16 17 Council Member Mueller said that she is concerned about Rice Creek requiring swales with this 18 project because there is no public hearing on this project, because they have waived their right to 19 one. She would want to know about the process if she had a swale coming to her yard. 20 21 Staff amended the Resolution to note that the Council is receiving the petition and waiver 22 agreement and not an acceptance until the language is clarified. 23 24 MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Mueller.

After discussion, Council agreed that no change was needed. 22 23 MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 7354 to 24 Consider a Lease Amendment with Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce. 25 26 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 27 28 9. JUST AND CORRECT CLAIMS 29 30 Council Member Flaherty, asked about Brian Rock Products. Clerk Administrator Ericson 31 explained that this is an expenditure for gravel used on the trail in Greenfield Park. 32 33 Council Member Flaherty asked about Commercial Asphalt Company and asked whether there 34 was an increase. Clerk Administrator Ericson indicated that the cost has increased by 35 approximately 100%. The issue is that they are using more of the petroleum product and there is 36 less asphalt available leading to the price increase. 37 38 Council Member Flaherty asked about the fiber optic cable to North St. Paul. Clerk 39 Administrator Ericson confirmed that the work has been done. 40 41 Council Member Mueller asked whether the rough sawn cedar was for sign posts. Clerk 42 Administrator Ericson indicated he has asked and will report to Council when he receives an 43 answer. 44 45 Mounds View City Council November 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 9 Council Member Mueller asked about the heating system issues.
