Roger Stigney, 8400 Eastwood Road, stated that he read in the New Brighton Bulletin and in the Focus that the City was going to spend $5,800 for a survey. Mr. Stigney wondered if this was a wise expenditure of the taxpayers money for 400 people to comment on the survey_ Mr_ Stigney stated that the questions could be asked in the Newsletter at less cost and get more answers. This would be a more cost effective way of getting the answers. Mayor Linke stated that this issue had been discussed before. Mayor Linke further stated that from previous experience the City would not receive 400 answers back. This survey will give the Council a true cross section of the City. Brad Jahnke stated that this survey would be asked of 400 people. Mr. Jahnke wondered what the questions would be.

Orduno further went on to explain what type of questions would be asked. Orduno further stated that at the meeting on the budget there were 42 concerned residents or groups in the audience. The City of Mounds View has 13,000 people and if you eliminate an estimated number of children, there are approximately 10,000 adults in y- w u ofd.-0;0-00 is not a good representative sample. By doing a random, scientific sur ey t_h_e—City will receive an accurate cross section of responses. The survey will be answered by those persons who are not single issue persons . The results of the survey will be a clear mandate of what the services the citizens feel can be cut or what the citizens want to see eliminated. Mr. Jahnke wanted to know who will decide what questions would be on the questionnaire, could it include salaries, severance and the laying off of personnel? Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, encouraged Mr. Jahnke to attend Monday night's meeting if he wanted input into the survey questions.

Mr. Jahnke asked if the City needs the new laser printer and does the remodeling need to be done. At this time perhaps the City should not be remodeling or purchasing a laser printer. Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, stated that there was a need for a laser printer. The City does information services and to process information, the printer has to be available. If one printer goes down, the City has fewer options to meet deadlines. Orduno also stated that if the City does not upgrade or replace equipment it will become more costly in the long run. Mr. Jahnke stated that he works construction and his place of employment is hurting too. Where he works there is equipment that needs to be replaced but the money isn't there. Mayor Linke responded that if the equipment broke down, however, it would be replaced. Orduno explained that money has been put into the existing printer for repairs a couple of times and to put more money into this type of equipment. is not worth it. Mr. Jahnke stated he agrees that it is not always cost effective always to repair old equipment, however, the equipment can still be repaired to run another year or so until the outlook is better. Mr. Jahnke raised a question regarding the position of Engineering Aide. Jahnke wondered if this was a new or old position. Orduno explained that this was a position vacated approximately 8 months ago. The City has made do by having other staff split the duties. There were several things not getting done. Mr. Jahnke stated then everyone will have to work harder for their money. Mr. Stigney stated that there would be no cost to put the survey in the newsletter. Stigney suggested the Council run the survey in the newsletter and see what responses are received. Mayor Linke stated that the current newsletter was 32 pages and that is the contract amount Any additional pagesare$-8-2.0-0—per page-. - Mr. Stigney stated that the City is spending $14 .50 for each survey. Stigney stated that some of the fluff could be cut from the newsletter. Mayor Linke stated the newsletter was required by the Charter. 111 1punds View City Council Page Nine gular Meeting February 24, 1992 Mr. Stigney asked why the City needed a laser jet printer when they could obtain a dot matrix for half the price. Mr. Stigney noted the City was spending $5,000 for carpet. Was the Council Chambers carpet being replaced also? Mayor Linke told Mr. Stigney that the Council carpeting was not being replaced and that the Council carpet was only about four or five years old. Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, stated that the City is spending $5,000 for a survey but at the budget hearing he listened to each and every Councilmember state that they had no place to turn to and that the budget would have to be how it was at this time. Mr. Frits wondered how the Council became so educated since December. Mayor Linke stated the 1992 budget was under a time constraint. This survey has to do with the 1993 budget and the residents wanted this survey. Bill Frits stated the Council could have delayed the budget for two or three weeks . There were volunteers who would have sat down and helped the Council instead of having to spend the $5,000. 411JBLIC HEARINGS: Saturn Request for Conditional Use Permit, 8:05 p.m. Mayor Linke opened the public hearing and read Resolution No. 4195 to consider the Request for Conditional Use Permit of Saturn of St. Paul.

This was the first time the Planning Commission resolution was seen.. Harrington explained that this item was up for consideration by the Council at this time and that the Council could take desired action. Cliff Bratz, 5287 Jackson Drive, stated that according to the plan the landscaping is to be dense and going to be high. Mr. Bratz is opposed to the dense trees because it will cut him off and it would be easy for people to get in and around the area. If the trees weren't so high one could see Spat was going on and it would keep vandalism down. Mounds View City Council Page Tis Regular Meeting February 24, 19 Mayor Linke stated that the berm is to match what already exists on County Road H2 . Mr. Brats stated H2 has little to no evergreens. Darwin Lindahl, Short-Elliott-Hendrickson stated that the site plan was discussed at the neighborhood meeting and at the Work Session with the Council. The Planning Commission had concerns with adjacent neighboring resident concerns regarding the fact that there would be ample screening. This site plan was designed to meet requirements of the City which was if a property is to abut a residential property there had to be a five foot high solid wooden fence. This landscaping site is pleasant and aesthetic . A fence could create a maintenance problem in the future. The plan would be to place 6 to 10 foot high evergreens and locusts shrubs and a berm. - Jackie Johnson, 2287 County Road H2, like the density. She stated she doesn't want to see cars and the building. Ms. Johnson's concern was the lighting. How would the lights be timed and how late would the lights be on. Ms. Johnson wanted to know if the lighting would impact the homes, but• the type of lighting planned looked decent. Mayor Linke stated that the hours of operation of the dealership were 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Darwin Lindahl of SEH explained the lighting plan for the site. Mr. Brats commented that the tree issue should be discussed and the lighting left the way it was. Mayor Linke indicated that the lights would shine downward and not affect the nP.ighbors_. Nadine Johnson stated that she went out to look at the dealership in White - Bear owned by Saturn and at 1:00 a.m. the lights were still on while other dealers in the area had no lights on. Mayor Linke stated that the lighting could be reviewed after one year. Mayor Linke suggested review at renewal of Saturn's license. Ann Zachman, 5301 St. Stephens Street asked where the test driving would be done. Darwin Lindahl of SEH showed an overhead of the test driving pattern that Saturn would use. Wunds View City Council Page Eleven gular Meeting February 24, 1992 Mr. Price stated that Saturn customers would be explained where to test drive the vehicles and 80-90 percent of the time an employee of Saturn would be with the person test driving the car. The drivers would be instructed to stay away from the residential area. Councilmember Wuori also suggested that a #10 be added that addressed the outside advertisement such as no pennants or painted windows. Mr. Price asked about a sign permit for special occasions such as a grand opening. Paul Harrington, City Planner, explained the sign permit process to Mr. Price. Councilmember Quick stated that Saturn would have no flags, calliopes or organ playing. Mr. Price guaranteed him there wouldn't be. Mayor Linke was concerned about the amount of used cars in comparison to new cars would be on the lot. Discussion evolved around parking availability. auncilmember Wuori agreed with Mayor Linke that the lighting levels could reviewed at 6 months and one year. Councilmember Wuori asked how many employees were on one shift. Councilmember Quick made a motion that this item be tabled. Mayor Linke called for a second to the motion. Motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Price, Saturn, explained that because this is a Saturn dealership and only offers two types of cars that at any time he could move the cars from this lot to his other lot when needed, i.e. , a special occasion. Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, confirmed with Mr. Price that his primary sales intent was that-of selling new cars—not used ars. Mayor Linke reviewed the items to be changed on the resolution and its approval would be contingent upon those items being added. Item number eight - would read "All transport truck deliveries and pick-ups shall be conducted during regular business hours. " Item #9 would read "The conditional use permit shall be reviewed at six months and each year thereafter at the time of licensing to ensure that applicable conditoins imposed on the site are being meet. An added #10 would read, __ Outside avertisingshall be lmited_to that allowed by Municipal Code. " An added #11 would read, "Provide adequate on site parking for number of customers expected. For special occasions a larger number of customer parking spaces should be made free.

Minetor further stated that Evergreen has been in business 20 years while North Star has been in business only 2 years . Evergreen has been used with goodreference by the cities of Blaine, Roseville, Woodbury and Brooklyn Center for MSA acquisitions . Costs would be charged to 100-4270-705 and would be reimbursed by MSA. MOTION/SECOND-: Wuor/Qu cic to authorize Mayor and-City - - -- Administrator to enter into a contract with Evergreen. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried 4. Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, stated that the 1992 budget provides for the purchase of an upgraded laser printer for the Administration Department. Due to the heavy volume of word-processing, -a printer with high capacity -features and upgraded memory is essential. At the present time we have one printer servicing 5 to 6 PCs. This wears out a printer very quickly. Also, with that many persons using the printer the City could be in violation of data practices if private data information is being processed and then read. The best ratio 411 is one printer to one PC. illounds View City Council Page Fifteen egular Meeting February 24, 1992 Mayor Linke checked with the PC people at his place of employment and they agree that the best use is one printer to one PC. Discussion followed regarding dot matrix printers versus laser printers and their costs. Mayor Linke explained that the City can't afford to be short sited. The choice is to buy now or buy later at an increased and inflated price. Samantha Orduno informed the residents that the building was being remodeled entirely by staff rather than building an addition as was recommended by the Space Needs Study. A question was brought forth regarding lay off of City staff and employees and in the past only part time employees had been layed off. Orduno stated that the Building Inspector had been cut from full time to half time.

Mounds View City Council Page Sixte Regular Meeting February 24, 19� Report of Administrator: 1. Samantha Orduno stated that she wanted to alert the cable audience to excuse the mess when they visit City Hall as it is being given a face lift. Walls and half walls have been removed, painting has been done. Kitty Hickok, Finance Accounting Clerk, suggested ceiling tiles be painted rather than purchase new ones. The City Hall should be finished in the next two to three weeks. Please excuse the paint and the smell. Some of the walls also are being sheetrocked and ins lated as some of the offices have been as cold as 60 degrees and persons actually had to wear gloves and boots to keep warm. 2 .

PETITION • Petition from the residents of Eigenheer Addition to the City of Moundsview in reference to Roberts on 10. This is concerning the parking and debris problems created by the customers from Roberts. The complaint is to the city to have Roberts comply to all city codes and regulations and provide adequate parking for the size of their establ- ishment. Our neighborhood has been turned into a parking lot for a bar which is endangering us because of the passageway is blocked for emergency vehicles. To stop this, we must do it together.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY: Two resolutions are attached for your approval. The information attached to this memorandum explains the concern regarding funding of the L&WCF and Outdoor Recreation Grant Program. The Legislative Committee of the Minnesota Recreation & Parks Association has prepared the resolutions and the attached informational flyer. This is an attempt of the MRPA to protect funding for communities regarding park development funding. As you are probably aware, L&WCF funding was used for both the acquisition and Phase I development of Silver View Park and development of Greenfield Park many years ago. The funding since then has decreased, although the demand has increased. These two resolutions, along with many other cities' resolutions will be delivered to the Minnesota Recreation & Parks Association where they will be delivered in mass to Congressional Representatives and key State Legislators. The message that is trying to be conveyed is that the continued funding of L&WCF and Outdoor Recreation Grant Programs are important to the State. Thank-you for your support of these resolutions. c_.....7"7, - .e'er rY Saarion, Director Parks, R. , eation and Forestry Department Consideration for approval of the resolutions supporting expanded funding for the State's Outdoor Recreation Program to help local governments throughout Minnesota provide adequate outdoor recreation opportunities, acquire and protect open space areas and improve the RECOMMENDATIONz quality of life for present and future generations, AND urging the increase in the allocation of LAWCON funds for local government and state park projects to help provide adequate outdoor recreation opportunities, acquire and protect open space areas and improve the quality oflife for present and future generations. Outdoor Recreation Funding Action Alert Federal funding for state and local park projects is being severely eroded and this affects the quality of life for all Minnesotans.Following is the background on the decreases in funding and facts you can use when contacting your congressional representatives and President George Bush. Act now to help preserve local park facilities. For more than a quarter century the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund(L&WCF) has provided much needed funding for federal, state and local government outdoor recreation projects.Nationally, almost 32,000 state and local government park projects have been assisted with over$3 billion in grant funds. Minnesota has received nearly$57 million in L&WCF funds over the years.Projects have been funded in every county and in hundreds of cities and townships throughout the state. Through the years,this program has quietly touched the lives of Minnesotans of all ages, from rural communities to inner city neighborhoods.It has been one of the"cleanest",most effective federal programs in existence.Best of all,it has not cost the taxpayer a dime. Why?Because the program is funded through revenues received from federal off-shore oil leases and from sales of surplus federal property. During the past several years, the benefits provided local governments by this popular program have been sharply reduced. Originally, over one-half of the available funds were earmarked for local government and state park projects.This formula has been drastically altered over the years, however, so that today less than 10% of all funds are directed toward local and state government park projects. Most of the funds are now allocated to federal land management agencies.In Minnesota,for example, annual funding has fallen from a high of almost$6.5 million in 1979 to a low of just overin is year s funding will likely approximate that of 1988. Since Minnesota divides its allocation equally between local and state government projects,the remainder available for local parks is minimal. Meanwhile,the demand for local park grants remains very high. In 1990 local governments in Minnesota submitted grant applications for projects with an estimated total cost of over $7.5 million. What can be done to correct this inequity?First, Congress and the President must recognize the contribution local park projects make to our health and well-being, economy, and overall quality of life. Second,they must understand that the demand for local park facilities and the need for federal assistance remains high.Present allocations to the states fall far below the required levels! ...continued on reverse side RESOLUTION NO. 4193 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW, MINNESOTA URGING THE EXPANSION OF THE FEDERAL LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND PROGRAM WHEREAS, the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Program (LAWCON) has provided greatly needed grant assistance for local government and state outdoor recreation and open space project; and WHEREAS, in Minnesota, almost $57 million in LAWCON funds have been provided for over 1,100 projects in every county and hundreds of cities and townships throughout the State; and WHEREAS, the program supported by revenues from offshore oil leases and sale of surplus federal property does not cost additional tax dollars and has left an important legacy for future generations; and WHEREAS, in recent years the allocations available to local governments have been drastically reduced while the needs have remained as great as ever.

Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; I have negotiated with 2 firms to provide easement acquisition servic- es for the Long Lake Road Reconstruction Project, North Star Land Services and Evergreen Land Services. Both firms indicated that they would work on a per hour cost with a fee not to exceed limit. North Star indicated their fees would be based on $27 .50 per hour for a Right of Way Agent and $37. 50 per hour for a principle Right of Way Agent. Evergreen listed Right of Way Agents at $35. 00 per hour and clerical costs at $21.00 per hour. Both firms indicated they would use independent appraisers for appraisal work and that the appraisal costs would be approximately $12,000. There are 122 temporary easements and 23 permanent easements to be acquired. Evergreen estimated 916 hours for right of way agents and 40 hours of clerical time. They felt that this is probably a conservative estimate, and felt that the total cost, including appraisals, should not exceed $45,000. North Star estimated 475 hours of right of way agent's time and 100 hours of the principle right of way agent's time. They also figured $1 ,500 in expenses. The total estimated cost for North Star, including appraisals was $32,000. The main difference between the cost estimates is the number of hours estimated for obtaining easements. North Star Land Services has been in business for 2 years and t e o - • •f—way busina-ss or 23 years—EvergreEn Land Servi es- has _been in business for 20 years and the president has over 30 years experience in right of way acquisitions. North Star has done some work for Washington and Chisago counties and for a number of private clients: Evergreen has done work for Blaine, Roseville, Woodbury, and Brooklyn Center and a number of other clients over the years. Evergreen seems much more familiar with the State Aid Rules. The City is using State Aid funds on this project and it is necessary to follow the rules explicitly in order to receive reimbursement. For this reason I believe they are more qualified for this project. Ric Minetor City Engineer/Director of Public Works RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk- Administrator to contract with Evergreen Land Services for acquisition of easements, costs to be charged to Account No. 100-4260-705.
