City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works
Item Title/Subject: 2007-2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project
Hold a Public Improvement Hearing
Resolution 6982 Approving the Feasibility Report
Background:
On May 22, 2006 the City Council approved Resolution 6823 authorizing the
preparation of a Preliminary Feasibility Report and the selection of a consultant
for the 2007-2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project.
On June 26, 2006, the City Council authorized several items to be studied as part
of the Feasibility Report authorized on May 22, 2006 for the Street and Utility
Improvement Program.
On November 6, 2006, a DRAFT Preliminary Feasibility Report for the 2007-
2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project was submitted for the City Council’s
review.
On November 13, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution 6959 setting a
Public Improvement Hearing date for 7:10 pm on December 11, 2006 at the
Mounds View City Hall and authorizing the City Administrator to mail and publish
notice of said hearing and improvements as required by law.
Public Informational Meeting
Before finalizing the Feasibility Report for this project, City Council and Staff
wanted to present this draft report to the property owners who would be directly
impacted by this project to get their input and to address any questions or
concerns that they may have.
On November 21, 2006 a Public Informational Meeting was conducted to present
the draft report. Notices for this meeting were sent to all property owners that are
proposed to be assessed for this project. The notice was also posted on the City
Hall message board located in the front vestibule area. In addition, the notice for
the Public Hearing indicated the Public Informational Meeting scheduled for
November 21, 2006. This notice was also published in the New Brighton Bulletin
on November 27th.
There were 29 property owners present. The meeting was broadcasted live on
CTV 15 and has been re-broadcasted several times since. The meeting involved
a brief introduction, a presentation, and a “Question and Answer Session”.
A Feedback Form was also included in the mailing for the meeting notice. The
intent of the Feedback Form is to provide property owners an opportunity to
inform the City of their preferences, comments, thoughts, and concerns regarding
the draft report and the proposed project in general.
There were three general questions that were posed in the Feedback Form along
with a comment section. The deadline for submitting the Feedback Forms was
4:30pm on November 28, 2006. The City received a total of 98 Feedback Forms
(29.9% of the total 328 properties proposed to be assessed). A summary of the
general questions posed in the Feedback Form is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having reviewed the Public Information Summary for the 2007-2008 Street and
Utility Improvement Project, please check what your preference is:
I am generally in favor of this project.
69 Responses, 70.4% of those responding
21.0% of all properties
I am generally opposed to this project.
28 Responses, 28.6% of those responding
8.5% of all properties
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should this project proceed, what type of material would you prefer for the curb
and gutter system?
Concrete (included concrete driveway apron)
67 Responses, 68.4% of those responding
20.4% of all properties
Bituminous Curbs
17 Responses, 17.3% of those responding
5.2% of all properties
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Should this project proceed, this project would be phased over two years. Do you
have a preference on what year the construction for this project would occur
adjacent to your property?
2007 Phase
56 Responses, 56.0% of those responding
17.1% of all properties
2008 Phase
23 Responses, 23.5% of those responding
7.0% of all properties
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The aforementioned survey results were presented to the City Council at the
December 4, 2006 Work Session. Several issues were also identified during the
Public Informational Meeting and noted on the Feedback Forms that were
received. A summary of the status of these issues follows:
Curb Style - surmountable versus barrier style curbs
No clear direction was given at the Work Session. This is a design issue that can
be resolved at a future date. Staff will be submitting a "Street access report /
pictorial" to the City Council, which visually shows the impacts of not having good
access control. This could become a question to consider if a "design issues
survey" is conducted over the 60-day protest period.
Hillview Road – Narrowing of Hillview Road form 42’ to 28’ and adding a sidewalk
Council wanted to explore the option of narrowing Hillview and adding a
sidewalk. If Hillview Road is narrowed, the issue of what side of the road a
sidewalk would be constructed on would need to be determined under this
option. Staff also pointed out that Hillview would need to be posted (as well as
Red Oak Drive) "No Parking" if it were to be narrowed to 28 feet in width. Input
on this option from ALL property owners along Hillview Road is sought; including
properties outside the scope of this project - on the east side of Long Lake Road.
This could become a question to consider if a "design issues survey" is
conducted over the 60-day protest period.
Elimination of the access of Hillview Road and Fairchild Avenue
Council indicated that they are comfortable with proceeding with the elimination
of the access of Hillview Road and Fairchild Avenue onto County Road 10 .
Hillview Park Parking Improvements
Council indicated that they liked this option and that it should be funded via
MSAS Funds. The Park and Recreation Commission requires that there be
neighborhood support for this option. This could become a question to consider if
a "design issues survey" is conducted over the 60-day protest period.
Grouping of Mail boxes
Council indicated that they want to adhere to the ordinance that requires grouped
mailboxes.
Deferral Option
It was determined that there is little the City can do to the current City Deferral
Option and still be legally fair to the remaining properties. Finance Director Mark
Beer will look into what could be done.
Rain Gardens / Infiltration Basins
Council is in agreement with the proposal to provide incentive to residents that
elect to have a Rain Garden or Infiltration Basin in the boulevard adjacent to their
property. The amount of the reduction of their assessment would be based on
the storm water quality portion of their assessment – based on the draft report
the maximum amount would be approximately $358 per residential property.
Phasing of this project
Staff presented an option (based on current information) to do the area east of
Long Lake Road in 2007 and the area west in 2008. Council indicated that this
could be an option to consider. Staff did indicate that contractors may be
consulted on this issue.
Discussion:
Preliminary Report - On the basis of the City Council's previous action, a
Preliminary Report has been prepared. Based upon this analysis the project is
felt to be necessary, cost effective and feasible. A copy of the FINAL VERSION
of the Feasibility Report is attached for the Council's review.
Public Improvement Hearing – The purpose of the Public Improvement Hearing
is to provide interested parties an opportunity to learn more about the proposed
improvements and to comment on them. Pursuant to Resolution 6959 a Public
Hearing was set for December 11, 2006.
As per State Statute 429.031: “Before the municipality awards a contract for an
improvement or orders it made by day labor, or before the municipality may
assess any portion of the cost of an improvement to be made under a
cooperative agreement with the state or another political subdivision for sharing
the cost of making the improvement, the council shall hold a public hearing on
the proposed improvement following two publications in the newspaper of a
notice stating the time and place of the hearing, the general nature of the
improvement, the estimated cost, and the area proposed to be assessed.”
Notice of this hearing was mailed to each parcel within the area proposed to be
assessed on November 14, 2006. The mailing was sent to owners as shown on
the records of Ramsey County as per state statute.
The hearing was advertised in the City’s official newspaper, The New Brighton-
Mounds View Bulletin, on November 22nd and 29th of this year. The Public
Hearing Notice and information on this project was also published on the City’s
web site.
What’s Next – Following the Public Hearing for this proposed project, Chapter 8
Section 8.04 states, “A period of sixty days shall elapse after the public hearing
before any further action shall be taken by the Council on the proposed
improvement.” During this time Staff will work and meet with property owners to
address any issues. Staff will also continue to work with the Rice Creek
Watershed District to resolve any issues that would prevent the issuance of a
permit. Staff will also continue to collect public input pertaining to issues
discussed at the Public Informational Meeting and noted on feedback forms
received.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Desaree M. Crane, Assistant to the City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 6985 Approving Non-Union Cost of Living Adjustment, Benefit
Contribution and Pay Equity Adjustment
Background
The City Council approved the AFSCME, Police Officers and Police Sergeant Union Contracts, which
included a 3% cost of living adjustment, and a monthly health insurance contribution of $732.20 for the year
2007. Traditionally, the City Council has approved similar adjustments for non-union personnel. This
proposal was discussed at the December 4, 2006, City Council Work Session, and based upon the
anticipated approved of the 2007 budget, the Council approved Staff’s recommendation of a 3% cost of living
adjustment, and a monthly insurance contribution of $732.20 for 2007.
In addition to these adjustments stated above, it was also discussed that pay equity adjustments will need to
be made in order to be compliant with Minnesota State Pay Equity Law. In order to become compliant with
state law, all female job classifications will need a 5% increase in pay compensation, effective December 31,
2006. The Mounds View Pay Equity Report is due to the Minnesota Department of Employee Relations
(DOER) by January 31, 2007, and must reflect 2006 compensation numbers. There are two non-union
members affected, Assistant to the City Administrator and the Utility Payroll Clerk. All Pay Equity Proposals
have been agreed upon with the Human Resources Committee.
Discussion:
If the City Council approves this 3% increase to non-union personnel, then the two non-union female
classifications would get a 5% increase effective December 31, 2006, and an additional 3% increase
effective January 1, 2007. Most male job classifications (i.e., Police Officers, Police Sergeants), have a 3%
cost of living adjustment already in their contract, and if the same increases are not given to female
classifications it could alter the pay equity repot as non-compliant. The penalties for non-compliance with the
Minnesota Pay Equity Law are as follows:
“If a jurisdiction is found not in compliance, a notice will be issued to the jurisdiction. The
jurisdiction, if it disagrees with the notice, may notify the commission of DOER and will be
given a defined period of time during which additional information may be submitted for
reconsideration of the finding. Should compliance not be achieved within the defined period
set by the commissioner, the commissioner will notify the jurisdiction and the commissioner
of revenue that the jurisdiction is subject to a five percent reduction in the aid that would
otherwise by payable to the jurisdiction, or to a fine of $100 per day, whichever is greatest.
The imposition of a penalty may be appealed with the commissioner within 30 days of the
commissioner’s notification to the jurisdiction of the penalty. No penalty may be imposed
while an appeal is pending.”
Recommendation:
Consider Resolution 6985 Approving the 2007 Non-Union 3% Cost of Living Adjustment, $732.20 Health
Insurance Contribution and Pay Equity Adjustments for Non-Union Personnel.
Respectfully Submitted,
Desaree Crane

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Desaree M. Crane, Assistant to the City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 6989 Approving the AFSCME 2006-2007 Contract
Amendments
Background:
At the December 4, 2006, City Council Work Session, Staff and City Council discussed that Pay Equity
Adjustments would need to be made with both union and non-union female job classifications in order to
become compliant with the Minnesota State Pay Equity Law. The Mounds View Pay Equity Report is due
to the Minnesota Department of Employee Relations (DOER) by January 31, 2007, and must reflect 2006
pay compensation numbers. The AFSCME Union is the only union that has female job classifications,
and would be affected by the pay equity adjustments.
Discussion:
Staff negotiated Pay Equity adjustments with AFSCME on several occasions, and a potential agreement
was made pending approval from the Mounds View City Council. Attached as Exhibit A, is the AFCME
pay equity agreement, which is consistent with the HR Committee’s position and is also consistent with
the City Council’s position established at the October 23, 2006, Executive Session. These adjustments
would become effective December 31, 2006. Job Titles were also changed to be consistent with the July
2006 Compensation Study by Laumeyer & Associates. The following adjustments below would be
effective December 31, 2006:
Pay Equity Adjustment – effective December 31, 2006 (AFSCME)
• 5% to all Female Classifications with an additional 1% to the Account Clerk
• All Administrative Assistants are put into one Category (Technicians) and given the same pay rate as
the Utility Billing Clerk (non-union position)
• Police Administrative Assistant will be reclassified as a Police Support Specialist and given the same
rate of pay as the Technicians.
• Job Titles have been changed as indicated in the July 2006 Compensation Study.
In addition to Pay Equity Adjustments, market adjustments were made to the Housing Code Enforcement
Inspector, Public Service Officer and the Economic Development Coordinator. This is also consistent
with the City Council’s position established at the October 23, 2006, Executive Session. The following
adjustments below would be effective January 1, 2007:
2007 FT/PT Regular Employees’ Wages (3.0% increase effective January 1, 2007) – (AFSCME)
• Effective January 1, 2007, all classifications below receive a 3% increase.
• Effective January 1, 2007, in addition to the 3% increase the Economic Development Specialist will
receive an additional 0.5% ; the Housing Code Enforcement Inspector and Public Service Officer will
receive an additional 1.5%.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Resolution 6989 approving the 2006-
2007contract amendments for the AFSCME, Council 5 Union.

City Administrator Review _______
City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Desaree Crane, Assistant to the City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 6990, Revising Section 3.40 of the Mounds
View Personnel Manual Pertaining to Vacation Accrual
Schedule.
Background:
The City Council approved the AFSCME, Police Officers and Police Sergeant Union
Contracts. In those contracts, union members were given 25 days vacation after 20
years of service.
Discussion:
Traditionally, the City Council has approved similar adjustments for non-union
personnel. Staff proposed this change to the Mounds View Personnel at the December
4, 2006, City Council Work Session. At this meeting the City Council approved the
following vacation accrual schedule:
ACCRUAL SCHEDULE
Years of Service Days per Year
6 months - 1 year 10 days
1 through 5 years 10 days
After 5 years through 10 years 15 days
After 11 years 16 days
After 12 years 17 days
After 13 years 18 days
After 14 years 19 days
After 15 years 20 days
After 20 years 25 days
As you can see above, there is no accrual between 15 and 20 years. This is consistent
with the AFSCME, Police Officer and Police Sergeant Union Contracts.
Recommendation:
Consider Resolution 6990, Revising Section 3.40 of the Mounds View Personnel
Manual, which revises the Vacation Accrual Schedule to add 25 days vacation after 20
years of service.
Respectfully submitted,
Desaree M. Crane

19
B. County Update: Commissioners Bennett and Parker 20
21
County Commissioners Bennett and Parker addressed the Council and announced that the 22
County has maintained its AAA bond rating. 23
24
Commissioner Parker reviewed the work being done with the libraries throughout the County and 25
noted that they will continue to update the Council on the Library Committee. 26
27
Commissioner Parker indicated that the budget, revenues and expenditures went up by about 2% 28
noting that was due to a loss of federal funding. 29
30
Commissioner Bennett indicated that 85 to 87% of their budget is mandated. He then said that 31
the old public works site was sold and the County Manager was going to use $2.5 million to hold 32
the budget down but that was one-time money and meant that the budget would have to be raised 33
the following year. So, that money was designated to a special account to be used for public 34
works and infrastructure for one time projects such as the stoplight request at County Road H and 35
Silver Lake Road. 36
37
Commissioner Bennett indicated that Chief Summer was the first to use the 800 megahertz 38
system and it will be transitioned to other cities. 39
40
Police Chief Somer said that the radio is clear and the distance and coverage have greatly 41
improved. He then said that the transition was smooth. 42
43
Commissioner Parker updated Council on the potential pandemic bird flu and explained that 44
Ramsey County has been working out an emergency plan in the event that does happen. She then 45
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 3
said that a tabletop training happened that was good that may be available to cities to participate 1
in. 2
3
Commissioner Parker indicated that alcohol and drug issues are being addressed by the County 4
by exploring and looking into a uniform meth ordinance for all municipalities. She then 5
explained that Ramsey County also has a drug court where judges have found that repeat 6
offenders can be focused on for treatment. She further said that there is legislation being 7
proposed that may impose a five or ten cent per drink tax to fund substance abuse treatment. 8
9
Commissioner Bennett provided an update on Regional Rail and explained the proposed revised 10
loop. 11
12
Commissioner Parker indicated she has been working on the Active Living Ramsey County 13
project and they received a grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield and there will be a staff person to 14
help all of the cities in Ramsey County while working on their Comprehensive Plans to see if 15
there are changes that could be made to encourage more walking and biking. 16
17
Council Member Flaherty indicated that he did go to a Ramsey County League of Local 18
Governments pandemic training in the spring and the leading epidemiologist said this is not an 19
“if it would happen” but “when it will happen.” 20
21
Mayor Marty thanked them for mentioning the stop light at County Road H and Silver Lake 22
Road because the City has just finished the sidewalk on the east side of Silver Lake Road and he 23
has seen lots of pedestrian traffic on it. 24
25
Mayor Marty indicated that he sees this as a safety issue to get students back and forth to school. 26
He then said that he realizes how tight budgets and funding are but he would like to set up a joint 27
work session with the New Brighton City Council to discuss contributing to this project so the 28
County does not have to fund the entire project. 29
30
Commissioner Bennett indicated that there are some cash flow issues that need to be addressed 31
by the County so they may have to use the $2.5 million left from the sale of the old public works 32
site until June and, maybe after that, it could be used for public works projects. 33
34
Mayor Marty indicated that he noticed the count down timer for the crosswalk. 35
36
Commissioner Parker indicated that came out of the Active Living by Design and they will use 37
that feature at all the new crossings and begin replacing existing crossings. 38
39
Mayor Marty indicated that there are about 10 seconds when it begins flashing and he is 40
wondering if the timing can be adjusted. 41
42
Staff explained that the timing can be adjusted. 43
44
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 4
Mayor Marty indicated that in the spring there are issues the City hears about with street 1
sweeping and mowing in the summer and he would like to coordinate that to eliminate some of 2
the calls in the coming year and keep the debris out of the storm sewer. 3
4
Mayor Marty thanked the Commissioners for their time and responsiveness to the City. 5

7. COUNCIL BUSINESS 7
8
A. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 780, an Ordinance Approving 9
Modifications to the Official City Wetland Zoning District Maps 10
11
Community Development Director Ericson explained that this is the third time this item has been 12
before Council. He then said that the new maps were reviewed and a number of long discussions 13
were held relating to the policy and the regulations associated with wetlands in Mounds View. 14
He further said that all of the wetlands are protected by a 100 foot buffer area. Some residents 15
were not aware of this which is why everyone within 100 feet of a wetland received a notice to 16
raise awareness. 17
18
Director Ericson indicated that the original maps had not been updated since the 1980s and this 19
update is to accommodate changes due to development and natural changes in the wetlands. 20
21
Director Ericson indicated that there were a few changes including the wetland buffer being 22
removed from Spring Lake, the buffer was removed from the storm water pond at county Road 23
10 and Spring Lake Road, the buffer was removed from numerous ditches throughout the 24
community as the intent was to buffer wetlands not a drainage ditch. He further explained that 25
the buffer was removed from judicial ditch number 1 that flows under Lois Drive. 26
27
Director Ericson indicated that the wetland just outside the City’s borders in Spring Lake Park 28
affects the City because the buffer extends into this community and that was removed. 29
30
Director Ericson indicated that the buffer on the new wetland on Ardan Road was removed and 31
explained that the research shows the definition of a wetland to include more than one acre. He 32
then read the Code definition for the Council. He further commented that the key phrase was the 33
area over one acre in size so the question is whether to follow the Code as written which means 34
that there are three wetlands that would not require buffering. 35
36
Director Ericson provided information on the three wetlands to consider. The first one is in 37
Hidden Hollow that was recently delineated but it does not meet the threshold of more than one 38
acre. The second is the wetland brought up by Carol Mueller at the last meeting. The third is the 39
storm water pond along Quincy. He then explained that Rice Creek would maintain jurisdiction 40
over these wetlands but, if they are removed from the Ordinance, the City would not maintain the 41
100 foot buffer from these wetlands. 42
43
Director Ericson asked that Council approve the Ordinance Summary for publication along with 44
the Ordinance approval. 45
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 5
1
Paul Anderson of 2948 Wooddale Drive said that the wetlands have grown behind his home as 2
he looks at the map and the buffer zone runs through some of his neighbors’ homes. He then 3
said that he is wondering the reason for it since it is not designated as a storm water holding 4
pond. 5
6
Mr. Anderson asked where the bottom line is on this because he sees wetlands as a decrease in 7
value to the property and property value is important. 8
9
Director Ericson said that this is in the Spring Creek wetland basin area and, after the inventory 10
of this area, this is the first step in looking at the whole City. He explained that the results of that 11
inventory did not change significantly from the 1981 maps but the area may have receded a little 12
bit and the buffer changed a few feet to go along with it. He then said that the area is designated 13
as a wetland and was designated as a wetland in the early 1980s. 14
15
Mr. Anderson disagreed with some of the comments and said that he had an in ground pool at 16
one point in the wetlands area and then said that later in the meeting there is a resolution to give 17
someone a special dispensation on Pleasant View Drive for a house built in the wetlands. 18
19
Director Ericson clarified that request is in the wetland buffer area, not in a wetland. 20
21
Mr. Anderson asked what the buffer area is for. 22
23
Mayor Marty indicated that it gives the City some control and discretion about any type of 24
development or construction in the buffer to protect the wetland. 25
26
Mr. Anderson asked what is going to happen to the storm water designation that was the original 27
intention. 28
29
Director Ericson said that this was a project that Director Lee has been working on, a stormwater 30
management pond with the street construction project but that did not move forward. 31
32
Director Ericson explained that the 100 foot buffer protection area is an area that provides 33
additional protection for that wetland and it is not meant to prohibit, restrict or deny any kind of 34
development but it allows the City to make sure that the development that does occur does not 35
impact the wetland areas. 36
37
Chris Johnson of 8200 Long Lake Road said that he sees that the map has changed in his area 38
west of LaPort and he wonders if that is a wetland or what the designation is. 39
40
Director Ericson indicated that is an area that would be omitted from the wetland zoning map for 41
wetland buffering purposes but it would still show up for drainage purposes. He then said that 42
there would need to be a review done prior to development to address drainage issues. 43
44
Council Member Thomas said she would like to speak in favor of going with the Code on this 45
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 6
one to take out those wetlands that are less than one acre. 1
2
Mayor Marty said that SEH created the new set of official wetland maps based on the recent 3
delineations and he would recommend sending the updated maps to Rice Creek Watershed 4
District for informational purposes. 5
6
Mayor Marty indicated the Section 8 map on the right side off of Belle Lane, that road is 7
incorrectly labeled County Road H2 and needs to be amended. He then agreed with removal of 8
the drainage ditches and areas of less than one acre because there was a huge amount of buffer in 9
the area of ditches that is not necessary. 10
11
Mayor Marty indicated he had asked for a flood plain map with an overlay, Staff provided that, 12
and it does coincide pretty well to this new map so he now feels more comfortable with this. 13
14
Council Member Thomas asked whether the Ordinance has the removal of the one acre sites or if 15
it needs to be amended. 16
17
Director Ericson responded that the Ordinance simply adopts the maps approved by the council, 18
so no amendment to the Ordinance would be necessary. 19
20
MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Ordinance 780, an 21
Ordinance Approving Modifications to the Official City Wetland Zoning District Maps as 22
Amended to Remove the Less than One Acre Sites and Approval of the Ordinance Summary. 23
24

Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 27
28
B. Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 783, an Ordinance Amending 29
Exhibit E of the Municipal Code Relating to Planning and Development Fees 30
31
Director Ericson indicated that this is before Council as part of the review of the fee schedule for 32
the coming year and explained that the planning and development fees must be approved by 33
Ordinance. He then noted that the changes to the fees are as presented at the work session. 34
35
Council Member Stigney asked whether the items raised are due to internal costs and why they 36
are not all raised by a fixed percentage. 37
38
Director Ericson explained that costs are not consistent across the board because some actions 39
require publishing or recording and the County fees went up. He then said that there are some 40
fees that were raised because they were just not high enough for the work required. 41
42
Council Member Flaherty indicated that he is concerned with the language in the Ordinance that 43
states the fee listed is the minimum and he would like to know what is the actual fee. 44
45
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 7
Director Ericson indicated that there are some requests that Staff knows in advance that 1
processing will require further costs for City Engineer or City Attorney time. He then said that 2
whenever possible Staff informs the resident or applicant of the potential for additional costs. 3
4
Mayor Marty indicated that he had the same questions and does not think that residents take the 5
time to read all the paperwork so he was thinking that on Appendix E adding a statement of 6
minimum planning and development fees or minimum amounts under the amount to make them 7
aware. 8
9
Mayor Marty asked if there is a maximum fee set for these fees. 10
11
Director Ericson indicated that Staff will defray costs as much as possible but there is no 12
maximum, it all depends upon the work involved to complete the request. 13
14
Director Ericson agreed to make the change to add minimum in the title. 15
16
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Ordinance 783, an 17
Ordinance Amending Exhibit E of the Municipal Code Relating to Planning and Development 18
Fees. 19
20
Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 21
22
C. Resolution 6960 Authorizing Contract with Cities Digital for Document 23
Imaging System 24
25
Community Development Director Ericson explained that this is before Council to address some 26
concerns over the years with City-wide document management. He then said that there is a lot of 27
historical documentation that is on paper and it has been increasingly difficult to find documents 28
needed. 29
30
Director Ericson explained that the Staff feels that this would fix a problem with retrieving 31
documents and went on to explain that this would allow the Staff to search the list of documents 32
and locate them within seconds rather than days. 33
34
Director Ericson indicated that other area communities are going to this system as well and this 35
will provide Staff with security and safe storage along with quick retrieval of documents for 36
review. 37
38
Director Ericson explained that the Laser Fiche system allows the ability to have all documents 39
in one system so that there is continuity between departments and the ability for employees in 40
other departments to easily retrieve documents. 41
42
Director Ericson indicated that Staff reviewed the $53,000 proposal and removed some hardware 43
and Staff will do some of the scanning and the proposal was reduced to $44,000. He then 44
explained that Staff is proposing a two year implementation plan. 45
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 8
1
Director Ericson indicated that, if approved, from January 1, 2007 forward every document 2
would be archived into the system for future use. 3
4
Council Member Flaherty said that it states that Roseville has made a significant expense in the 5
software and Mounds View will pay maintenance fees and he would like to know what the 6
maintenance fee would be. 7
8
Director Ericson indicated it would be approximately $700 to $800 annually and noted that the 9
software cost was around $75,000 to Roseville so the cost for the City to take part is the 10
hardware and scanning costs and creating an index for those documents. 11
12
Council Member Flaherty asked whether the personnel hours are included in the estimate. 13
14
Director Ericson indicated that Mounds View Staff will do the scanning from January 1 going 15
forward and they will undertake the scanning of the documents prior to that. 16
17
Council Member Flaherty asked what microfilm looks like and asked whether it is necessary to 18
switch from microfilm to digital media. 19
20
Director Ericson indicated that it is not critical but it may be necessary if the City wants all 21
documentation to be searchable in the same location. He then said that it is possible that the 22
second year costs could be less if the City decides to maintain the microfilm reader but it is 23
already getting harder to read the existing microfilm. 24
25
Council Member Flaherty indicated the City needs to do this but he is looking at it for ways to 26
save money. 27
28
Council Member Thomas agreed with going ahead with the two year implementation because 29
that will assist with the goal of increasing communication with residents. She then said that she 30
would like to suggest that Staff stay on top of technology moving forward to do handwritten 31
notes and keep in mind whether the City needs to keep those types of things for the future. 32
33
Council Member Gunn said that she feels that everything should be done because it would be 34
difficult if one piece you were looking for was on microfilm. She then asked if there is the 35
ability for an adjoining City to share documents by email. 36
37
Director Ericson indicated that is possible. 38
39
Finance Director Beer indicated that the microfilm is the only copy of some documents and some 40
of them are beginning to degrade so the sooner the City gets them converted the better. 41
42
Mayor Marty indicated that he has spent days going through boxes of information to locate files 43
on specific topics. He then said that there is the possibility for people to take documents from 44
the files but, if it is electronically preserved, it will always be available to Staff and residents. 45
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 9
1
Mayor Marty indicated that Council has been talking about capturing records for years and now 2
is the time to bring things up to standard. He then said that if this is spread out over three years 3
the costs could go up so he would recommend moving forward with this based on the two year 4
implementation schedule. 5
6
Mayor Marty questioned whether one person would be doing the scanning or if this is something 7
that would be rotated to more than one staff member. He then asked whether part time help 8
would be appropriate to assist with this project and take some of the load off of existing Staff. 9
10
Director Ericson indicated that the primary responsibility of scanning the documents would fall 11
to Cities Digital as the proposal is that they would take the existing documentation so there 12
would not be boxes of documents that one person would have to sort through on a daily basis. 13
He then said that Staff could make the determination of the staffing needs for this project as time 14
goes on. 15
16
Mayor Marty asked how this would be protected from hacking into the system and viewing 17
documents that are not public information. 18
19
Director Ericson indicated that certain staff members do not have access to all of the data of the 20
City. He then explained how the documents will be protected. 21
22
Finance Director Beer added that security clearance is required for working at home and there are 23
protections in place to keep the documentation safe. 24
25
Council Member Stigney asked if Cities Digital will provide a permanent backup storage of this 26
information or if the City would do that. 27
28
Director Ericson indicated that they would turn it back to the City to determine how to store the 29
source documents. 30
31
Finance Director Beer explained that the documents are backed up through Roseville’s system to 32
four different locations and it is possible to put a copy in the safety deposit box. He then said 33
that Staff will consider what documents to keep and which to destroy to be approved by the 34
Council. 35
36

C. SCORE Grant 28
29
Council Member Stigney said that there are state funds available for the benches and he would 30
like to see what is obtained through the state before spending the City’s money. 31
32
Director Ericson explained that the City would not be spending money on park benches just 33
reallocating the money received through the SCORE Grant. 34
35
City Administrator Ulrich clarified that the City would be paying for the difference in price from 36
a regular bench to a recycled materials bench and the informational plaque explaining the bench 37
and the materials involved. 38
39
Council Member Stigney said that he does not think that the City should be using its funds prior 40
to using other funds if possible. 41
42
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that the funds are limited in terms of what they can be used 43
for and that is for items relating to education and recycling and this is an idea that Staff came up 44
with to meet the deadline date for the Grant. 45
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 11
1
Mayor Marty said that the money has to go directly to some type of recycling or recycling 2
program or education so the City does not need to dedicate it specifically at this time. 3
Staff explained that the Grant lists the ways the City intends to use the funds. 4
5
City Administrator Ulrich recommended approval so that the City does not miss out on the Grant 6
and said that he will look into whether the uses can be amended. 7
8
Council Member Thomas indicated that she is fine with the recommendations of Staff to utilize 9
the SCORE Grant funds. 10
11
Council Member Gunn agreed. 12
13
Council Member Stigney said that he would like to use other funds first if they are available. 14
15
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that the budget will be set up as determined by grant funds 16
received. 17
18
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Marty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6957, 19
Approving the 2007 SCORE Grant. 20
21
Council Member Stigney asked whether approval incorporates the ability for Staff to look into 22
options for using the funds in other ways. 23
24
Mayor Marty indicated the Resolution approves this but there is consensus that the City 25
Administrator will look into other uses for the funds and to look into utilizing other funds first. 26

Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 28
29
F. Resolution 6958, a Resolution Approving a Wetland Buffer Permit for New 30
Home Construction at 7057 Pleasant View Drive 31
32
Council Member Flaherty indicated that the question was raised previously in the meeting 33
regarding development in the buffer zone and he wanted to point out that this is approval of 34
development in the wetland buffer. 35
36
Director Ericson said that because this has been an issue for Council consideration in the past this 37
property owner is talking about drainage issues and this buffer permit will resolve any issues that 38
may or may not have occurred in the past with drainage issues at this property. He then said that 39
the proposal is to elevate this home and have a drainage area between the two homes. He further 40
explained that public works has reviewed this and the grade of the back half of the lot is not 41
changing and this will not impact the wetland area. 42

View Drive. 1
2
3
Mayor Marty indicated that he called and talked to Mr. Ulrich about this today and his question 4
was regarding grading and the amount of fill but that question has been answered. He then said 5
that the existing house and garage extend farther back onto the property than the new house 6
proposed to be built so it is moving away from the wetland area. 7
8
Mayor Marty asked how much fill will be brought in and how that will impact the back yard. 9
10
Director Ericson explained that they need to grade to take out the foundation of the old home but 11
very little grading beyond that would be done in the back yard. He then said that with this 12
change part of the drainage will go to Pleasant View Drive rather than having it all flow to Spring 13
Creek as it does now. 14
15
Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 16
17
G. Resolution 6963, Approving the Sale of Surplus Police Radio Equipment 18
19
Council Member Stigney said he was curious how many radios are involved here and what other 20
equipment is involved. 21
22
Chief Summer explained that it is 19 portable radios and about 11 squad radios, cables and 23
equipment, and the old mobile digital terminals were included. 24
25
Council Member Stigney said that he feels that Staff got a good bid for this equipment. 26
27
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6963, 28
Approving the Sale of Surplus Police Radio Equipment. 29

32
H. Resolution 6959, Setting a Public Improvement Hearing Date for the 2007 – 33
2008 Street and Utility Improvement Project 34
35
Council Member Flaherty said that he wanted to take any opportunity to announce to the 36
Community that there is a hearing date for a street and utility improvement project. He then said 37
that the date is December 11, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. 38
39
Council Member Flaherty read the tentative schedule for the project. 40

I. Resolution 6951, Approving Change Order No. 3 and Authorizing the 3
Installation of Front Doors for the Random Park Building Replacement 4
Project 5
6
Council Member Flaherty asked for further information and an explanation on Change Order No. 7
3 at Random Park. 8
9
Director Lee explained the doors replacement for Council noting that there was a set of doors at 10
the rear of the building that opened into the building and a side service door that opened out of 11
the building. He then said that the question was whether to have three doors on the front of the 12
building and Staff decided it did not make sense to have the side service door not knowing that it 13
was a requirement to have that door. He further explained that for public safety reasons a door 14
that opens out of the building is necessary and this would change the doors to open out. 15
16
Director Lee indicated that these doors were a lower quality type of residential door so there is a 17
benefit to changing them to a commercial style steel door. 18
19
Council Member Flaherty indicated that this is necessary but this should have been caught and he 20
does not agree with an automatic door opener at the cost of $2,000. 21
22
Council Member Stigney said that he thinks that the outside consultants should have been aware 23
of this so that bothers him but this needs to be corrected. 24
25
Council agreed to eliminate the automatic openers. 26
27
MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6951, 28
Approving Change Order No. 3 and Authorizing the Installation of Front Doors for the Random 29
Park Building Replacement Project Without the Automatic Door Opener. 30
31
Council Member Thomas said that she thinks if a Change Order is being done it should not go on 32
the Consent Agenda. 33
34
Director Lee apologized and explained the reason for it being on the Consent Agenda was 35
because he was not going to be at this meeting. 36
37
Council Member Flaherty asked if this is the same architect as City Hall and said that he is very 38
disappointed that this was not caught. He then said that he would like Staff to send out letters 39
informing them that the City is dissatisfied with their service. 40

Mayor Marty indicated he had called with questions earlier. 1
2
Council Member Flaherty said that the report needs to be dated November 13, 2006 not 3
November 14, 2006. 4
5
Finance Director Beer explained that the checks go out tomorrow that is why the date is 6
tomorrow’s date. 7
8
Council Member Flaherty questioned Page 12 the business cards for two different individuals at 9
$39.32 and one for $67.67. 10
11
Finance Director explained that the $67.67 is for two people. 12
13
Council Member Flaherty questioned Page 14 on storm sewer repairs for $7,100. 14
15
Finance Director Beer indicated that there is a certain amount in the budget for storm sewer 16
repairs as part of the City’s annual maintenance. 17
18
Council Member Flaherty questioned the driveway repair. 19
20
Finance Director Beer explained that there was a water main repair that required repair of the 21
driveway and the City paid to restore it to asphalt and the resident is upgrading to concrete. 22
23
Council Member Flaherty asked for information on the resurfacing of basketball courts. 24
25
Finance Director Beer explained that Silver View tennis and basketball courts were resurfaced 26
and the basketball courts at Greenfield and at Groveland were also resurfaced. 27
28
Council Member Flaherty questioned Page 28 freeway towing and what that was for. 29
30
Finance Director Beer indicated that towing charges will be covered as part of the forfeiture fees 31
recovered. 32
33
Mayor Marty commented on independent delivery service noting he got two Mounds View 34
Matters this time. 35

23
A. Reports of Mayor and Council 24
25
Mayor Marty reported that in looking over election results in the Star Tribune he noticed Lino 26
Lakes’ election results on Wednesday stated a charter amendment was passed to prohibit council 27
members from serving on charter commissions. 28
29
Mayor Marty reported that in the Star Tribune they had listed two suburbs and Dakota County 30
that voted to approve money to preserve open space and those were Eden Prairie and Greenfield. 31
32
Mayor Marty reported that a couple of nights ago he attended the Irondale Youth Football 33
Banquet at the banquet facility and after the banquet was over they asked residents and parents to 34
help clean up. Lots of people pitched in and they went to get a vacuum cleaner and found that 35
there is one household type vacuum for the entire Community Center in the banquet area and he 36
asked Marta if there were any more and there are not. 37
38
Council Member Gunn indicated that they approved two more vacuum cleaners at the meeting 39
today. 40
41
Mayor Marty reported that at the end of the election in talking with Mayor Steve Larson from 42
New Brighton he learned that the City of New Brighton has for years brought voting equipment 43
to all their senior housing buildings the week before the election to allow their seniors the 44
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 16
opportunity to vote without having to worry about looking for an absentee ballot and he thinks 1
that is an excellent idea. 2
3
Council Member Stigney asked whether that would require voting staff and someone to oversee 4
the voting. 5
6
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that Staff would look into the specifics. 7
8
Mayor Marty indicated that he is saddened to report that the citizen of the year this year, Mr. 9
Frank Silvas, passed away Saturday night. The visitation is at Miller Funeral Home in Fridley 10
and the funeral is scheduled for Wednesday morning at Cross of Glory. 11
12
Mayor Marty indicated that his thoughts and prayers are with the family. 13
14
B. Reports of Staff 15
16
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that Staff has set a tentative joint work session with the City 17
of New Brighton on December 18, 2006 if that works for Council. 18
19
Mayor Marty indicated he was not sure of his schedule. 20
21
Council Member Gunn can attend. 22
23
Council Member Thomas can attend. 24
25
Council agreed to set the meeting for December 18, 2006. 26
27
Council Member Flaherty suggested inviting the Council Members elect to the meeting so they 28
would be up to speed. 29
30
Mayor Marty asked Staff to invite the County Commissioners. 31
32
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that the first meeting of 2007 would be January 8, 2007 and 33
the work session would need to be rescheduled from January 1, 2007. 34
35
Council agreed to reschedule the work session to January 2, 2007 with an official swearing in 36
ceremony at 7:00 p.m. followed by the work session. 37
38
City Administrator Ulrich noted that minutes from the performance review meeting will be 39
available for the next meeting. 40
41
1. Finance 42
43
Finance Director Beer reviewed the Financial Report with Council. He then said that the 44
Community Center Fund is $192,000 in deficit that will be partially eliminated with a transfer of 45
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 17
$146,000 and the City will share in the YMCA recreation profit of approximately $20,000 but 1
there will be a deficit at the end of the year. He further said that for 2007 there is a needed 2
transfer of about $200,000 to that account. 3
4
Finance Director Beer indicated there is $147,000 in the Community Center Fund that will be 5
eaten up rather quickly if the funds transfer is not increased. 6
7
Finance Director Beer indicated the regional pond would cost $600,000 and paying for that out of 8
the storm water fund would require an increase in rates. He then said that TIF could be used to 9
fund it to alleviate the need for a rate increase in the immediate future and it would be a TIF 10
eligible expense and, since the legal determination has not yet been made that the City needs to 11
document that it was not TIF interest, it would eliminate legal issues with the state auditor. 12
13
Finance Director Beer reviewed investment income and the portfolio information with Council. 14
15
Finance Director Beer reviewed finance department operations for the third quarter. 16
17
Finance Director Beer indicated that as part of the process of certifying that 90% of the police are 18
smoke free one of the officers felt that since he smokes cigars, on occasion, though he is not a 19
smoker he did not feel right signing it so they are not above 90% so there will not be a 10% 20
discount but most of the City is smoke free. 21
22
Mayor Marty applauded the different departments for coming in at or under budget again this 23
year. 24
25
2. Police Department Quarterly Report 26
27
Chief Summer provided Council with a review of the Police Department Quarterly Report. 28
29
Mayor Marty asked for information on video monitoring. 30
31
Chief Summer indicated he is researching it. 32
33
Mayor Marty indicated that he has had no negative comments regarding the police department on 34
the enforcement. 35
36
3. 2007 Legislative Agenda 37
38
City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the legislative policies from the League of Minnesota Cities. 39
He then said that the City is interested in funds for noise wall construction along Highway 10, 40
transportation funding with the passage of the constitutional amendment, and volunteer fire 41
fighter pension benefits to provide another incentive to register part time fire fighters. 42
43
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that administrative offense is something that Council has 44
discussed as it will benefit residents and enforcement efforts by giving the officers flexibility. 45
Mounds View City Council November 13, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 18
1
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that the recommendation is to have the re-elected Senator 2
and newly elected Representative come to a meeting, either before the work session on December 3
4, 2006, or before the regular session on December 11, 2006 for an update. 4
5
Council agreed to either date to have the Senator and Representative elect come to a meeting. 6
7
Mayor Marty indicated that the City has been talking about the noise wall along Highway 10 for 8
years and suggested having Staff look into adding another lane to Highway 10 because once they 9
open 610 all the way through it will get worse. He then asked Staff to look into Mn/DOT’s 10
timetable for adding another lane because they would be mandated to put in the sound wall when 11
they add that other lane. 12
13
Mayor Marty indicated that he would like to flag administrative offenses for them too because 14
Staff contacted Ramsey County and other cities and he would like to get the elected 15
representatives to sponsor some of these issues. 16
17
Council Member Thomas indicated that she is concerned that they will continue expanding 18
westward and not add another lane. 19
20
Finance Director Beer pointed out that Mounds View is the only one with a zero percent levy 21
increase for 2007. 22
23
Council Member Stigney pointed out that expenditures have increased by 4% despite the fact that 24
there is a zero percent levy meaning the City has to take money out of the Medtronic levy 25
reduction fund. 26
27
Finance Director Beer indicated that this does not include any potential referendum that may or 28
may not have passed for the School District. 29
30
Council Member Stigney asked for information on the potential recount for the School District. 31
32
Council and Staff discussed it but were not sure of the specifics as to whether there would be a 33
recount. 34
35

Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 2
of a summary ordinance for publication. 1
2
There were no public comments. 3

Council Member Flaherty indicated that there was a change to minimum fees so there is no 5
confusion to residents and the residents sign a statement acknowledging that the fee is a 6
minimum and anything additional will be added. 7

18
B. Resolution 6972, Authorizing Final Settlement of Accounts Receivable for In- 19
the-Word Church 20
21
City Administrator Ulrich explained that this item would authorize a write off of $1,500 for an 22
additional month’s rent for In-the-Word Church. He then said that there was no signed lease 23
with the Church which would have required sixty day notice. He further explained that the 24
Church paid its last month’s rent and outstanding costs including amounts owed to the YMCA. 25
26
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that Staff recommends writing off one month’s rent as they 27
did not occupy the space during that time. 28
29
Mayor Marty asked if there is a written contract in writing with the Chamber to avoid this type of 30
situation in the future. 31
32
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that Staff would verify that. 33
34
MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6972, 35
Authorizing Final Settlement of Accounts Receivable for In-the-Word Church. 36
37
Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 38
39
C. Resolution 6966, Approving a Step Increase for Communications 40
Coordinator Kimberly Blackford 41
42
City Administrator Ulrich explained that this Resolution was revised and handed it out to 43
Council. He then indicated that this Resolution recommends a step increase due October 17, 44
2006 but noted that the employee has since handed in her resignation with a last date of 45
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 3
employment of November 28, 2006. He further said that he has rated her performance 1
satisfactory and noted there were some issues that Council wished to address in executive session 2
and, upon receipt of her resignation, that meeting was canceled. 3
4
City Administrator Ulrich recommended approval of the step increase of 5% from October 17 to 5
November 28, 2006. He then noted that the Union has filed a grievance and the claim of the City 6
is that the personnel policy states that Council must approve any step increases and the Union is 7
prepared to argue that point. 8
9
Council Member Flaherty asked what the dollar amount would be. 10
11
City Administrator Ulrich indicated it would be an increase from $18.31 to $19.46 per hour so a 12
dollar an hour for about five weeks for an approximately amount of $200 to $250. 13
14
Council Member Stigney said that it seems to him that the contract language and the Union 15
interpretation is saying that by the time the six month review is due it is too late to do anything 16
about it so he would like to review this to see what can be changed so that these types of 17
situations do not turn into a legal operation. 18
19
City Administrator Ulrich indicated it would be easier to handle this during a probation period. 20
He then recommended that the HR Committee recommend a policy of red flagging reviews for 21
employees on probation before the probation period is up. 22
23
Mayor Marty agreed that in order to deny the step increase City Council would need to have 24
executive sessions to document reasons for the delay of step increase. He then said that he would 25
like to have the personnel policy amended and the policy brought back before Council after 26
recommendation by the HR Committee. 27
28
Mayor Marty indicated that the City is over a barrel because the six month probationary period 29
came and went and he does not feel it is worth pushing this at this time. He then read language 30
from the Code which indicated that, after the six month probationary period is over, there is a 31
stronger requirement to show that the employee is not performing satisfactorily. 32
33
Mayor Marty indicated that he would like all of the positions for step increases to be brought to 34
the Council prior to the anniversary date from now on. 35
36
MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6966, 37
Approving a Step Increase for Communications Coordinator Kimberly Blackford. 38

Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 40
41
D. Resolution 6971 Approving Purchase of Exercise Equipment for Community 42
Center Project 43
44
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 4
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that Council decided to operate the banquet center as a 1
facility open to the public for rental and this Resolution comes from a recommendation and 2
discussion on allowing private vendors into the building. He then said that one recommendation 3
of the Task Force was a fitness center which Council was not in favor of but, to operate a 4
minimal fitness room, it would require a purchase of exercise equipment at this time to 5
complement the existing weight equipment and television set. He further explained that the 6
room would function as it has in the past with the new equipment as the existing equipment is 7
failing. 8
9
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that Council has approved various changes to management 10
of the facility and noted that the marketing budget would be increased in 2007 to try to increase 11
the rental income from the facility. He then said that Council will discuss memberships at the 12
work session and look at capital investments to keep the operation going at its present state. 13
14
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that the fitness equipment is important to keep the facility 15
functioning at its present state. He then reviewed the low bid quote of $19,702 for commercial 16
equipment of two treadmills, two elliptical cross trainers and one recumbent bike. He also 17
explained that leasing options were not available and the Finance Director does not recommend 18
leasing as it would come with an interest payment. 19
20
City Administrator Ulrich recommended that the purchase of the equipment be funded by taking 21
the funds from the 2006 budget with $3,500 unspent and the 2007 Community Center Budget of 22
$5,000 for equipment for $8,500. He then recommended that the remaining $11,202 be funded 23
through the special projects fund. 24
25
Council Member Flaherty commented that he has looked at the equipment over there now and if 26
this is to go back to the citizens this is a minor upgrade to the facility to bring people in. He then 27
said that the YMCA purchases equipment and rotates it through their facilities and he would like 28
to know if they have used equipment. 29
30
Council Member Gunn indicated that they looked into used equipment and none was available. 31
32
Council Member Gunn indicated that the Task Force discussed this at length and it was all 33
around accepted that this is a perk of the community center for a nominal fee and it is something 34
that does not get publicized enough so she would like to advertise it better. 35
36
Mayor Marty said that he is glad this is going to the work session to discuss memberships 37
because the Task Force recommended a membership system for quarterly and annually but now 38
there are only daily pass and punch card options available. He then said that once the new 39
equipment is obtained he would like to look into semiannual or annual memberships. 40
41
Council Member Gunn said that they felt it would be best to stay with the daily fee and punch 42
card at this time because there is not much over there and there are two other fitness centers that 43
the City competes with. 44
45
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 5
Mayor Marty said that he feels it would be more of an incentive to use it if it is already paid for 1
with a membership over the punch card. 2
3
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Flaherty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6971, 4
Approving Purchase of Exercise Equipment for the Community Center. 5
6
Council Member Stigney said that this brings up the question of whether the City should be in 7
the fitness center business and he does not think so. He then asked the purpose of the community 8
center and said he would like to define the purpose and then define how it will be funded. He 9
further said that the broken equipment should be replaced with the existing budgeted funds and 10
this seems like the City is trying to expand the fitness center and he does not support going for 11
under funded things. 12
13
Council Member Stigney said that he would like to replace equipment with the budgeted funds 14
and then look at the whole picture of what is going to be done with the Community Center. 15
16
Council Member Gunn said that they are not increasing equipment and said that this would be to 17
replace existing equipment that does not work. 18
19
Council Member Stigney said he does not think the City needs to be in the fitness business and 20
should replace the equipment within the $8,500 budgeted. 21
22
Council Member Gunn indicated that the equipment cannot be replaced for the money allotted. 23
24
Mayor Marty said that he does not think that this is a first step toward a fitness center because the 25
first equipment was new but was for home use not commercial use. He then said that the YMCA 26
then donated equipment and now it is time to replace the existing equipment with new 27
commercial equipment. He further said that he sees this as being a small expense that certain 28
individuals can benefit from that cannot afford to join a fitness center. 29
30
Council Member Flaherty indicated that he is for this expenditure and the City needs something 31
that will stand up to the rigors of use by the residents. 32
33
Ayes – 3 Nays – 1(Stigney) Motion carried. 34
35
E. Resolution 6965 Approving Change Order No. 36 for the City Hall 36
Rehabilitation Project 37
38
Public Works Director Lee explained that Change Order No. 36 is comprised of six ASIs ranging 39
from minor electrical work to relocating sprinkler heads. Staff has reviewed these ASIs and 40
finds them valid except for ASI 106 that pertains to painting and miscellaneous items and Staff 41
has not received valid proof that these are reimbursable expenses to the contractor. He further 42
indicated that Staff recommends approval with the exception of ASI 106. He also noted that 43
there will be change order No. 37 for heating coils, roof reworking of ceiling panels, electrical 44
work, and any additional signage for adding in lettering for the finance department. 45

Council Member Flaherty indicated that it irks him that the wording used states that it is 2
inevitable that rework will be necessary. He then said that it seems to him that is a blank check. 3
He further said that the contractors and architects need to stand beside their quotes and Staff 4
needs to tell them that there is not another dime coming. 5
6
Council Member Flaherty said that he would like further information on ASI 106 for 7
clarification. 8
9
Public Works Director Lee explained that Staff is contesting some of the items under ASI 106. 10
11
Council Member Stigney asked if the signage is in front of City Hall or what the signage 12
reference is for. 13
14
Public Works Director Lee indicated that SEH is proposing to either repaint that signage or add a 15
backer to make it more visible. He then said that the Council dais and outside signage is coming 16
back to Council for consideration. 17
18
Council Member Flaherty asked about ASI 95 and then said that the building officials are in the 19
building and asked whether they were conferred with when the plans were prepared. 20
21
Public Works Director Lee indicated that a permit was issued by the Building Inspector based on 22
the plans submitted. 23
24
Mayor Marty indicated that Council Member Flaherty had said that it is inevitable that minor 25
adjustments must be made to the scope of the project and he agrees with that but now the City 26
has been back in for a while so he would think that everything would have been done by now. 27
28
Mayor Marty said that someone needs to be held accountable for this because things just keep 29
coming on this project and he continues to be concerned about the things that keep popping up. 30
31
Council Member Gunn indicated that she had asked if all the items are done but Arcay has 32
continued to submit items submitted by subcontractors and she would like to know if the 33
contractors are inspecting or if Staff is finding these things or how these things are coming up. 34
35
Public Works Director Lee indicated that there was a meeting with Staff, Arcay and SEH to 36
finalize the items. He then said that after the final four items to come with the next change order 37
there will be no more items coming forward. 38
39
Council Member Flaherty said that all piping gets insulated in Minnesota and it should come 40
standard with the bid and it should not have been an oversight. 41
42
MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6965 43

Development 40
41
Mayor Marty indicated that he has talked to Director Ericson about the fact that there are 42
townhomes going up everywhere in the area but there are no assisted living buildings or units in 43
this area and that was proposed as a possible alternative. He then said that the housing market 44
has gotten soft right now especially in condos and townhomes. 45
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 8
1
Mayor Marty indicated that he would like to approach the developer to see if they would 2
consider changes because Johnson Hitch is closed and that property is up for sale. He then said 3
that he would like Staff to contact them to ask them to consider the changes suggested. 4
5
Council Member Gunn indicated she watched the Planning Commission meeting and it was 6
unanimously approved for this development and the preliminary plan shown had everything that 7
they were concerned about previous to this meeting including a concern with lighting that was 8
addressed. She then said that they have stepped forward with a ton of landscaping around the 9
property and there will be 19 homes with enough room for fire trucks and other emergency 10
vehicles and they are putting up a privacy fence around a lot in the rear to address that issue and 11
it will be owner occupied with an association. She further said that she does not think it is 12
reasonable to go back to the developer at this time to ask him to change his mind. 13
14
Mayor Marty said he is not asking the Council as a body to ask Staff to go and recommend the 15
changes but he would like to have Staff discuss it with him. 16
17
Community Development Director Ericson said that the reason it has taken so long is that the 18
developer was exploring other plans and even considered selling the project but has decided that 19
the best course of action is to move forward with the development based on the original plan. 20
He then said that the thoughts of the Mayor were considered but they felt it would be in their 21
best interest to continue in the direction of the first plan they approached the City with. 22
23
MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To Approve Consent Agenda Item B, Set a Public Hearing 24
for Monday, December 11, 2006 at 7:10 p.m. to Consider a Preliminary Plat for the “Knollwood 25
Place” Townhome Development. 26
27
Council Member Stigney stated that he watched the Planning Commission and he likes the latest 28
plan and what it looks like so he supports the plan now that the aesthetics have been outlined and 29
the City has an idea of how it will look. 30
31
Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 32
33
C. Resolution 6967 Authorizing Out of State Conference Attendance and 34
Corresponding Budget Amendment 35
36
Council Member Stigney said that he has an issue with out of state seminars and he feels that 37
Staff can look into getting a manual or the materials from it rather than increasing the budget to 38
attend. 39
40
Council Member Flaherty asked Staff if there are classes at the University of Minnesota or a 41
community college that would gain the same knowledge as he would prefer a class over a 42
seminar. 43
44
Director Ericson indicated that there are not many good housing maintenance seminar or code 45
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 9
compliance programs offered locally and Staff is looking for them. He then said that Staff felt 1
this would be beneficial enough to justify recommending increasing the budget and allowing 2
Staff to attend out of state. 3
4
Council Member Stigney said that he would feel that some things would be different state to state 5
and he would prefer to see something that is Minnesota based. 6
7
Director Ericson indicated that is a good point but the basis of the program is nationwide for 8
what works across the nation not just in one state. He then said that Staff would need to be 9
careful to ensure that programs are appropriate for this state but they attract attendees from many 10
states not just from the host state and they address differences among states. He further said that 11
Staff feels that the benefits would outweigh any potential legal issues. 12
13
Council Member Flaherty asked who would be attending. 14
15
Director Ericson said that it would be Jeremiah Anderson. 16
17
Council Member Flaherty asked if there is a City vehicle that could be taken to save on mileage 18
because Madison is 200 miles. 19
20
Director Ericson said that the employee is willing to take a City vehicle to save some costs but 21
there will be gas and mileage to the City vehicle. 22
23
Mayor Marty said that he is not usually for this type of conference but, after reviewing the 24
information, he feels that there would be a benefit to Staff to attend this seminar. 25
26
Mayor Marty indicated that Code compliance is a tough job and the courses offered really look 27
like they would be beneficial for the employee on behalf of the City. 28
29
Mayor Marty said that Jeremiah Anderson is a valuable and effective employee and he feels that 30
this would benefit him and he would like to support him and the department by agreeing with 31
this conference. 32
33
Council Member Gunn agreed and said that, after reviewing the information, she feels that the 34
conference would be very beneficial. 35
36

45
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 10
Council Member Flaherty wanted this on public record to inform citizens of what is going on at 1
this location. 2
3
Director Ericson indicated that there is a lag time when municipalities acquire properties and the 4
City is responsible for the second half of the property taxes for 2006. He then said that Staff did 5
not budget to acquire this property but it came up and was done by budget amendment and the 6
taxes need to be paid. 7
8
Director Ericson indicated that Staff is obtaining a study to show potential development 9
opportunities for this and the adjoining parcels and that will be before Council at the next 10
meeting for review of draft plans. He then said that a public hearing should be scheduled with 11
residents to discuss the preliminary plans for redevelopment of the area. 12
13
MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6970, 14

9. JUST AND CORRECT CLAIMS 20
21
Mayor Marty requested information on Page 10 for mileage reimbursement of $35.00 because it 22
seems rather high. 23
24
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that most of the mileage was making multiple trips to 25
CTV15. 26
27
Mayor Marty requested information on Page 11 for Used Oil Recovery because he thought the oil 28
went to fuel the furnaces at public works. 29
30
Public Works Director Lee explained that this is noted incorrectly because it was for the solvent 31
tank for the parts cleaner for periodic removal of the solvent. 32
33
Mayor Marty requested information on Page 12 for $487.50. 34
35
City Administrator Ulrich indicated it was for review of the Minimum Assessment Agreement 36
for the Medtronic Project. 37
38
Mayor Marty requested information on Page 13 for a flexible pipe camera. 39
40
Public Works Director Lee indicated that this was for damage to a camera that suffered a fall into 41
the sewer. He then said that since then one person operates the hoist and retrieval of the camera 42
and another person was added to assist them to eliminate the potential for this type of issue. 43
44
Council Member Flaherty asked about a warranty. 45
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 11

Public Works Director Lee indicated that there was no warranty. 2
3
Mayor Marty asked about the DVD purchased entitled Ollie Saves the Planet. 4
5
City Administrator Ulrich explained that it was for a recycling DVD purchased through SCORE 6
funds to be shown at the schools. 7
8
Mayor Marty asked for clarification of the Wells Fargo financial lease payments on Page 24. 9
10
Director Ericson indicated that it was likely for the copier lease. 11

27
A. Reports of Mayor and Council 28
29
Mayor Marty announced that there are openings on the Planning Commission, the Parks and 30
Recreation and Forestry Commissions. The deadline to apply is December 15 and applications 31
are available online and at City Hall. 32
33
City Administrator Ulrich noted that there will be some openings on the Charter Commission as 34
well. 35
36
B. Reports of Staff 37
38
City Administrator Ulrich announced that Ramsey County League of Local Governments annual 39
recognition of outgoing elected officials is scheduled for December 15, 2006 at the Maplewood 40
Community Center. He then explained that the School District would be conducting a recount on 41
Thursday based on a citizen’s petition. The recount will be done at the County offices. 42
43
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that the legislators have asked that the meeting with Council 44
be moved into January and Staff will work to schedule that meeting. 45
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 12
1
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that the City is getting good local support for administrative 2
offenses legislation so Staff will continue to work on that. 3
4
City Administrator Ulrich indicated that the Mayor had called and noted that there are issues with 5
the cable TV station bulletin board not functioning due to a software issue. He then said that 6
Staff has begun looking into the solution to the problem but it may not be an easy or cheap 7
solution. 8
9
City Administrator Ulrich announced that Tim Pittman, Public Works Foreman has submitted his 10
resignation so that will need to be discussed at the work session. He then said that the City 11
wishes him well as he begins his new position as Public Works Director for the City of Falcon 12
Heights. 13
14
Council Member Stigney said that the cable rebroadcasts that he has been watching the last few 15
weeks show a lot of distortion in the podium microphone and the microphone on the other end so 16
he thinks there should be a monitor or something to see what is happening. 17
18
Mayor Marty said that Staff should have a monitor so they can hear what is going out. 19
20
City Administrator Ulrich said that there is a live monitor that picks up what the residents are 21
receiving but it does have a five second delay. He then said that it does help for periodic 22
monitoring of what goes out to the residents. 23
24
Mayor Marty asked Council to consider getting plaques for outgoing council members for years 25
of service because this is a rather thankless job and he would like to acknowledge the service and 26
provide a record of appreciation from the City. 27
28
Council Member Stigney said that he does not think that it is necessary but would approve of a 29
certificate. He then said that he does not want a plaque when he leaves. 30
31
Council Member Flaherty said it would be a nice memento of time serving the community. 32
33
Council Member Stigney said that commissioners do not get paid but Council does and he feels 34
this is not needed or required and the City should not be spending money on it. 35
36
Mayor Marty asked that this be referred to the work session for further discussion. 37
38
Public Works Director Lee said that at the last work session TMobile gave a presentation and 39
that presentation was given to the Parks Commission and Parks provided a recommendation with 40
conditions for Council consideration. He then said that Staff is seeking direction for the tower in 41
Groveland Park as to whether this should come to Council or go before the Planning 42
Commission for a special use permit. 43
44
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 13
Council Member Stigney indicated that the Code requires that the tower be available for multiple 1
uses and this proposal is not. He then said that the code requirements should be resolved prior to 2
asking for a location. 3
4
Director Ericson said his question would be whether Council supports this or not before TMobile 5
goes through the CUP process. 6
7
Carol Mueller, council member Elect, of 8343 Groveland Road asked Council not to put a 8
lightning rod in their community park or any community park. She then said that doing so would 9
be a safety hazard and she does not feel that the funding that the tower may provide would be 10
worth the safety risk. 11
12
Council Member Gunn agreed and said that this would open the door to others coming in. 13
14
Council Member Flaherty indicated he was not big on putting it in the park but it would interest 15
him to look further at the Arden area. He then said that putting it into a park setting may create a 16
safety issue but he would consider looking at Arden Park. 17
18
Public Works Director Lee said that TMobile said it would not work at Arden Park. 19
20
Mayor Marty indicated that he is not in favor of this because the parks are valuable to residents 21
and other communities are trying to buy property for green space and this City seems to be 22
selling it off so he is not interested. 23
24
Public Works Director Lee indicated that TMobile would like to present plans to the Council for 25
consideration. 26
27
Mayor Marty indicated that he is not interested in commercializing the City’s parks. 28
29
Public Works Director Lee indicated that the proposal has changed based on Park Commission 30
comments and they plan to incorporate this with the existing park building with the same block 31
structure attached to the park building. 32
33
Council Member Stigney said that would raise insurance questions but his first question goes 34
back to whether this is single use towers or multiple use towers and until that is addressed he 35
does not think it should move any further. He then said that if it goes there that is MV property 36
and it should go to the general fund not just to Parks. He further said he has overriding issues of 37
multiple towers throughout the City and the planning committee should look at that. 38
39
Park and Recreation Commission Member, Cindy Palm, of 2266 Terrace Drive said that she is 40
not in favor of this because of precedent that this may set. She then said that since the 41
Commission met there was a new proposal from TMobile and it was 10 x 12 and now it is 12 x 42
15 and then in a different location as a 12x10 and now it is a 12x20 structure right behind the 43
Groveland building. She further said that Park Commissioners wanted to make sure that when 44
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 14
you walk out of the Groveland building residents would be able to view children on the play 1
structure and putting the tower building in that location would obstruct that view. 2
3
Ms. Palm indicated that she feels that park fees benefits all residents but she is concerned about 4
location and impact for the parks. She then said that the proposal does meet some conditions but 5
there are outstanding issues and she is not in favor of the proposal and does not think that it 6
belongs in a City park. 7
8
Council Member Flaherty said that if Park and Recreation said that they would like Council to 9
look at this he would consider it but the opinion he is getting is that this does not need to go 10
further at this time. 11
12
Council Member Stigney said that because of the questions and issues not resolved he could not 13
support going forward with it. 14
15
City Administrator Ulrich asked whether there was a vote or an informal recommendation from 16
the Park Commission. 17
18
Ms. Palm indicated that several were supportive under a variety of conditions including that the 19
building not interfere with future funding, future use of the park, and that the fees go into the 20
park fund. She then said that other conditions were that it would benefit the park by use of 21
lighting or something but not detract from park use now or in the future and the current proposal 22
does not do that. 23
24
Ms. Palm indicated that five of the Commissioners were supportive under the listed conditions 25
and she voted no that she did not want this use in the parks. 26
27
City Administrator Ulrich said that Council should consider the recommendation at the next 28
meeting and address it at that time. 29
30
Staff was directed to have the request come to Council for final consideration. 31
32
Director Ericson indicated that there was an article in the Star Tribune regarding the City of 33
Rogers and their practice of providing business subsidies to lure business to the City. He then 34
explained that there was a table as part of the article showing Rogers was number one for TIF 35
usage in the state and Mounds View was listed as number three. 36
37
Director Ericson indicated that Staff was concerned to see Mounds View listed as number three 38
and did some research into the data used for the article. He then said that the data was 39
cumulative data from the Citizen’s League and was not current data. He further explained that 40
Mounds View has reduced its percentage of TIF down to 16.18% making Mounds View number 41
28 in the state for TIF usage. 42
43
Director Ericson indicated that he spoke to the reporter noting that the way the information was 44
presented could confuse the residents but the reporter stated that the information was to highlight 45
Mounds View City Council November 27, 2006
Regular Meeting Page 15
Rogers at the top of the list and it was the data available to him at the time of the writing of the 1
article. 2
3
Director Ericson noted that the figure for TIF usage will go down again in 2007 and welcomed 4
residents to contact Staff to discuss the matter further. 5
6
Mayor Marty asked for information for 2008 and 2009. 7
8
Director Ericson said it will be higher due to Medtronic coming online. He then said that, worst 9
case scenario, it looks like the City could hit 24% in 2008 and 29% in 2009 assuming that 10
nothing else is done with the existing three TIF districts. 11
12
Director Ericson indicated that the rates will drop down in 2013 and 2014 down to approximately 13
17%. 14
