Staff believes that there are areas of improvement which can be made in regards to the manner in which purchases are listed and then approved by Council. We will continue to pursue various alternatives and present them for Council consideration at a later date. For your information, I have attached the communications which prompted these discussions. Also attached, please find a listing of all City fund descriptions and account numbers . These numbers correspond to the descriptions found in your budget. If you have any questions, or require any information on this matter, please don't hesitate to call me. Have a wonderful Holiday! ! so/mjs MEMORANDUM TO: RIC MINETOR, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR FROM: SAMANTHA ORDUNO, CITY ADMINISTRATOR DATE: MARCH 26, 1991 RE: MAYOR'S REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ***************************************************************** Mayor Linke has requested background information on the purchase of a can crusher listed in the Just and Correct Claims . Please provide background information on this item in time for the packet on Wednesday. The listings on the Just and Correct Claims are somewhat misleading in terms of several purchases listed on one purchase order. Got any ideas for improvements? Thanks for your prompt attention in this matter. so/mjs MEMORANDUM Memo To :Samantha Orduno, Clerk-Administrator From :Ric Minetor, City Engineer/Director of Public Works Date :March 27, 1991 ci46g0g ; t:- Subject :Can Crusher Purchase Attached is the invoiceof concern for the $100 can crusher. As you will notice the can crusher was $18.99. This model holds several cans to be crushed and is an extra heavy duty model . The other item on the invoice is listed as "OUTLET_MARKED #3731" . This is a hydraulic spool valve used on the front end loader. The cost of this valve is $79.99. As with all entries on the AP list for Council, only the first item on the invoice is listed and the totalamount of the invoice. Oftenan item such as a can crusher or a pencil order will be the first item but the total may be upwards of hundreds of dollars . It would seem providing the item name actually misinforms the Council when there multiple items on the invoice. Possibly the item description on the AP list should be the account name, i.e. equipment supplies or office supplies, etc. I am concerned that the current system may contribute toward a reduced level of trust between the Council and staff. While I an discussing APs, I would suggest that it may be more efficient to approve APs by motion. The current need to approve by resolution causes the resolution index to be cluttered with AP approvals . The motion could be structured to include date approved and vote record. • . . ..... , . . . . .. • . .. .. . . . .,. .. . . • • • • ,•• . ... -.... orthern ... Handyman's Headquarters (REMIT TO: P.

MEMORANDUM TO: DON BRAGER, FINANCE DIRECTOR FROM: SAMANTHA ORDUNO, CITY ADMINISTRATOR DATE: MARCH 26, 1991 RE: MAYOR'S REQUEST ***************************************************************** Mayor Linke had a couple of questions regarding two items on the Just and Correct Claims . He would like more information regarding the purchase of printers listed on page 5 . As I looked over the budget, I noted that the purchase was a budgeted item, but would you please provide some background data for the Mayor. In addition to this request, the Mayor has also asked for a listing of fund descriptions and account numbers. Please prepare this listing and we will provide it to all Councilmembers. I realize that this request is rather time consuming, especially at a time when the auditor's demands are so great, but please prepare this information as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. SO/MJS TO: Samantha Orduno, Clerk - Administrator '1. )e\FROM: Don Brager, Finance Director - Treasurer DATE: March 26, 1991 SUBJECT: Request for Information Regarding Check 33151 Pursuant to your request check 33151, dated March 26, 1991, payable to Computerland Corporate Offices in the amount of $1,971. 68 was payment for two computer printers for use by the Finance Department. The first printer was an Epson LQ 1010 24 pin dot matrix printer which will be shared by Mary Tatarek and Kitty Hickok. Until the purchase of this printer Mary and Kitty did not have a printer for their use when doing PC applications such as Lotus 123 or word processing. The computer system that has all of our accounting systems could only be used to print accounting system reports. The adopted 1991 budget of the Finance Department provided $900. 00 for this purchase. The actual purchase price of $566. 96 was $333 . 04 under budget due to some smart shopping by mary and Kitty who were able to purchase it for less than the State of Minnesota contract price. The second printer was a Hewlett-Packard Laserjet IIP printer which will be used by Dorothy Peterson. Previously Dorothy was sharing a printer with Barbara Benesch, Michele Severson, and Paul Harrington. A laser printer was purchased in order that the City's financial reports and budget documents would be professional looking. The adopted 1991 budgets of the Water and Sewer funds provided $1, 520. 00 for this purchase. The actual purchase price of $1,247.76 was $272.24 under budget due to some smart shopping by Dorothy who was able to purchase it for less than the State of Minnesota contract price. Should you have any further questions regarding this purchase please do not hesitate to contact me. MEMORANDUM Memo To :Mayor and Council Members From :Ric Minetor, City Engineer/Director of Public Works C Date :March 29, 1991 /�� Subject :Resolution Authorizing Purchasing of Lift Station Components from a Sole Source Supplier The reconstruction of the lift station at Bronson Drive and Raymond Avenue is scheduled for this spring. As a part of this reconstruction we are proposing the lift station be connected to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system at the Public Works Shop. The system will then be able to monitor the lift station operation and provide automatic call out of personnel in the event of malfunction. This is handled the same as the water system mulfunctions. The computer receives the alarm from the remote terminal and automatically calls the 'stand-by' person. If the stand-by person does not answer, the dialer will then call the Public Works Foreman and Public Works Director until the call is acknowledged. We have found this to be a time saving feature, and the case of a lift station malfunction it could be the difference between restoration of operations and backup of sewage into homes. Since the equipment to connect the lift station to the SCADA system needs to be compatible with our existing equipment, I am recommending that we negatiate the purchase with Automatic Systems Company. This will eliminate the general contractor from putting 'overhead' charges on the equipment. Another benefit is our ability to work directly with the supplier to insure the equipment is exactly what is needed for the lift station. I recommend that the City . Council authorize the City Engineer/Director of Public Works to negotiate the purchase of equipment from Automatic Systems Company for the lift station at Bronson Drive and Raymond Avenue; and that the Council approve the attached resolution finding that Automatic Systems Company is the sole source of equipment manufactured by Auto-Con necessary for this project. RESOLUTION NO. 4066 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF LIFT STATION EQUIPMENT FROM A SOLE SOURCE WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View has an existing Supervisory Control and Data Aquisition system which utilizes Auto-Con equipment; and WHEREAS, the reconstruction of the lift station at Bronson Drive and Raymond Avenue is to be connected to this existing system; and WHEREAS, the equipment at this lift station must be compatible with the existing SCADA system equipment; and WHEREAS, the dealer and sole source of Auto-Con equipment is Automatic Systems Company; NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Mounds View, Minnesota, that the Auto-Con equipment is "non-competitive equipment" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 471. 36, and therefore is exempted from the competitive bidding requirements; and that the City will negotiate the purchase of this equipment from Automatic Systems Company who is the dealer for Auto-Con equipment in the area. tit2411 MEMO TO: MAYOR & COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: MARY SAARION DATE: MARCH 25, 1991 SUBJECT: LAKESIDE PARK OPERATIONS Spring Lake Park Director Jay McCluckey and I met recently to brainstorm ideas for operating Lakeside Park this summer. The lake water conditions are less than adequate for any type of beach swimming this summer. The lake is down from last year. Last year, the use of the beach for swimming purposes was almost Hill. The condition of the lake is such that it would behove the cities to discourage swimming. Therefore Jay and I met to provide a proposal for alternative uses of the beach this summer. An ideas was originated by Councilmember Wuori which was discussed and digested. I bring this idea operations of Lakeside Park this summer 1991. We still wish to provide some kind of a lake activity to the public. Therefore, as suggested by Councilmember Wuori, we wish to look into the purchase and subsiquent rental of water equipment such as water bikes, canoes and dry sailboats. In this way the public could still have fun using the lake as a means of aesthetic exercise and wildlife observation in a lake environment. It would need to be a regulated rental activity requiring waiver forms, adult supervision etc. The money currently budgeted for lifeguard staff could be used for the purchase of new or used rental equipment. This equipment would then be available for use even if the lake at some time rises for swimming purposes. There are still questions to pursue regarding this endeavor. Liability, equipment security, waivers, rental pricing, etc needs to be further pursued. Lakeside Park will be used every night of the week for adult softball league games as offered by both SLP and MV Departments. Also, we have a joint sand volleyball league. reservations_alsahringc in park use - . •- :- - ear, we expect to see plenty of sun bathers at the beach. With the large number of expected park users, it is our intention that the park invest in a concession service. The same concession position could be responsible for the opening and locking of the restroom facilities every day. The beach house facilities would open at 1:00 p.m. and close at 9:00 p.m. This would service the rental equipment, concessions and facility availability as well as provide security to the park during those peak use hours. The park would basically be open the usual hours but would provide different services than in the pasts years. The concession services may have the potential of being a revenue producing entity, thus paying for the service. I would like to hear your initial ideas to this idea before moving ahead. 3 MEMO TO: MAYOR & COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: MARY SAARION DATE: MARCH 25, 1991 SUBJECT: HOCKEY RINK REPLACEMENT The Parks and Recreation Commission discussed the issue of replacement of the hockey rinks. The hockey boards are in very poor condition and need replacement if they are to continue as a recreation facility. A question as to the need for the present number of hockey boards was discussed by the Commission. Alternative facilities were discussed such as the possibity of a small youth baseball/softball field at Woodcrest in the area where the hockey rink now lies. It was the Commissions view that the neighborhood residents should be invited to the May Parks and Recreation Commission meeting in order to review options and receive their input in an effort to determine whether or not all of the hockey boards should be replaced. Does the Council concur with this idea? Please voice your concerns or concurrance at the agenda meeting. MEMO TO: MAYOR & COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: MARY SAARION DATE: MARCH 25, 1991 SUBJECT: PARK FLOWER BEDS I have discussed with Forester Wriskey the idea of changing the park flower beds to "park shrub beds". The reason to switch from flowers to shrubs is cost. The manhours of maintenance for flowers is high and the cost is every year. A switch to shrubs would be a one time cost and the upkeep for shrubs as you know is minimal. The major maintnenance hours is spent in watering flowers frequently. City Hall Park offers the only water source, sprinkling in front, and therefore it is presumed that the flowers could remain at City Hall if the council so chooses. I would like to discuss this change at the agenda session. The time for ordering flowers or shrubs is at hand. Again, this is offered as a cost savings. A financial sheet has been prepared by Forester Wriskey regarding the costs of upkeep of flowers. The Parks and Recreation Commission has discussed this issue and has agreed that it would be a wise consideration to replace the flowers with shrubs to be implemented this summer for cost savings for future years to come. MEMO TO: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY FROM: RICK WRISKEY, CITY FORESTER DATE: MARCH 14, 1991 SUBJECT: SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS OF ANNUAL FLOWER PLANTING PARKS AND CITY HALL Annual flowers have been maintained seasonally at all park sign areas and at City Hall entrance and side areas. The parks having flowers are: Silver View (at County H2), Woodcrest, Oakwood, Greenfield, Hillview and Groveland. The annual costs for flowers are as follows: 7 Park Signs City Hall Purchase $500.00 $175.00 Fertilizers, etc. 35.00 25.00 Labor: (planting & maintenance) 1,200.00 400.00 Equipment/gas 100.00 TOTALS $1,835.00 $600.00 Conversion-of-park sign-beds-to perennial(woody-or-ground-cover) plantings-would cost an estimated $210.00 per bed for the plant materials, fabric, and maintenance for one year. RW/SL Uyn 5 MEMO'TO: MAYOR & COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: MARY SAARION DATE: MARCH 26, 1991 SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF SCOTT DENTZ TO THE PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION Mayor Linke received a letter from Mr. Scott Dentz requesting appointment to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Mr. Dentz was recruited by Chairperson Burmeister. As you know, the Commission has been trying to recruit a seventh member to the Commission for over two years and has been unsuccessful in finding a willing person until this time. This is one of the goals of the Parks & Recreation Commission, to fill the empty seat. Mr. Dentz was invited to attend the last Parks & Recreation Commission meeting, and he did attend. As Mayor Linke indicated, even after he experienced a regular meeting, he still had the inclination to serve on the Commission! On behalf of the Parks and Recreation Commission I wish to recommend the appointment of Mr. Scott Dentz to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Mr. Dentz letter of application is attached. 2748 Laport Drive Mounds View, Minnesota 55112 March 7, 1991 Mayor Jerry Linke City of Mounds View 2401 Highway 10 Mounds View, Minnesota 55112 Subject: Park Board Dear Mayor Linke: I recently spoke with Mr. Wayne Burmeister who told me of vacancies on the Mounds View Park Board. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my services and request appointment to the Board. I and my family have been residents of Mounds View for five years. With children ( ages 3,6, and 9 years ) I have a sincere interest in maintaining and improving the park facilities and recreation programs. I have worked as a professional engineer for eight years and in the civil engineering and construction field since 1977. I feel I have considerable knowledge in construction techniques, contract administra- tion, civil design, as well as, experience working for and with consulting engineers, and contractors, and municipalities. Should you have any questions, I will be pleased to speak or meet with you. I can be reached during the day at 623-8156 and evenings a4-786=0362. Yours truly, go4 _ E. Scott Dentz, P.E. W 6 • TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL /�- FROM: SAMANTHA ORDUNO, CITY ADMINISTRATOR 9a"` DATE: MARCH 27, 1991 RE: SPRING CLEAN-UP DAY ***************************************************************** Plans are in motion to begin the promotional efforts for the City's Annual Spring Clean-Up Day. In researching the services provided the public, costs incurred, money budgeted and revenues generated on a pay-back basis for this event, I would like to brainstorm with the Council at the Agenda Session prior to finalizing the fee schedule. I will have additional information at the meeting, including costs for the clean-up days in 1990 and a proposed fee schedule for 1991. SO/MJS MEMORANDUM Memo To :Mayor and Council Members From :Ric Minetor, City Engineer/Director of Public Works Date :March 26, 1991 Subject :Discussion of Building Inspector Position The short term resolution of the vacancy in this position is utilizing the Planning Technician to provide housing inspection services and provide building inspection services through the City of Blaine by reimbursement of their costs. The agreement with Blaine includes their inspector using a City of Mounds View vehicle while making inspections in Mounds View and utilizing our office space for plan review. Mounds View will reimburse Blaine on a percentage of fee for plan reviews and on an hourly basis for field inspection. This arrangement should be in effect through April; a long term solution is being reviewed. The long term solution of providing building inspection services is open to a number of different possibilities. The most obvious is to hire a full-time building inspector. Services would be provided as in the past. However, the possibility of review of the position and of utilizing a different approach as a cost effective alternative is appealing. The various options include a part-time inspector, contracted services, reorganization of the duties in the department, and sharing a position with another city. Jim Tobias had indicated that the workload for building inspection was significantly lighter than in past years . Residential construction is significantly less and commercial construction is lagging as well. The city has reached a level of 'bui-ld-o-ut' a+- suggests a low level in residential construction for the foreseeable future. Commercial construction levels are tied to the current Business Park and adjacent sites. Once these are built out there will be a lessened workload in this area. Housing inspections are theone area of stable or slight growth. These inspections do not require a certified building inspector and can be performed by the planning technician. Planning activities are related to construction activity and there is a downturn in certain planning activities due to reduced residential and commercial development. Utilizing the planning technician for housing inspection offers an ideal solution to both workload areas. Actual building inspection is not addressed in this scenario. Building inspection and plan review services need to be provided by a certified building inspector. The possible options include a part-time position, an independent contractor, or sharing a position with another city. The feasibility of a part-time position could only be tested by actually advertising. There is no way to know in advance the quality or number of interested parties. An independent contractor may be more feasible. The third possibility is sharing a position with another city. A shared position would require that the city sharing this position be physically close to Mounds View. The obvious candidates are Arden Hills , Blaine , Fridley, New Brighton, Shoreview, and Spring Lake Park. Arden Hills uses an independent contractor who apparently is at a saturation level at this time. New Brighton and Shoreview indicated the their work loads do not allow sharing a position. Blaine and Spring Lake Park have indicated an interest in discussing a shared position. This solution has the capability of benefiting a neighboring city as well as our city. It would also be prudent to consider training of other employees to perform at least residential construction inspection services. The assistant engineer, planning technician, and/or department secretary could perform some or all of the plan review and field inspection for residential construction after certain training courses. North Hennepin provides these classes and an initial analysis suggests it may take up to 2 years for an individual to complete the necessary course work. This would not be a near term solution; but definitely can be considered as part of a long term resolution of the problem of providing building inspection services. t UkQ/vv15 TO: Mayor & Council FROM: Don Brager, Finance Director - Treasurer DATE: March 26, 1991 SUBJECT: Update on Collection Policy For Delinquent'Utility Bills Resolution 4015, adopted December 10, 1990, provides a collection policy for delinquent utility bills.

The agreement for installment payments(Promissory Agreement) , which is attached, states that " . . . failure to make any payment(s) on or before the date(s) specified in this agreement will result in discontinuance of utility services. " This has been the past practice of the City. This point was not specifically addressed in the collection policy. Should this practice be continued? Staff awaits Council direction on this matter.

Utility Customer Address Phone UtbVeil MEMORANDUM Memo To :Mayor and Council Members From :Ric Minetor, City Engineer/Director of Public Works Date :March 27, 1991 401 , Subject :Administrative Wetland Permits The Council adopted revisions to the Wetland Zoning Ordinance earlier this year. The revisions create an administrative permit process which allows for certain minor permits to be issued without Council review. These permits are for work in the buffer zone not impacting the wetland and for maintenance of existing uses which were lawfully created. The process of issuing an administrative permit will include review of the location of the requested work and a review of the work to determine impacts on the wetland. The current building permit process includes both of these functions. All building permits are reviewed for location in order to assure proper setbacks from lot lines, flood plains and wetlands. The work requested is also reviewed for adequacy to perform as desired. Since the current building permit process reviews the same information as an administrative wetland permit, I see no need for an additional fee to be charged; and the administrative wetland permit could be issued concurrent with a building permit. Staff Recommendation: Administrative wetland permits shall be reviewed and issued concurrent with building permits for the work involved and that there be no additional fee for this type of wetland permit. LehArrl MEMORANDUM Memo To :Mayor and Council Members From :Ric Minetor, City Engineer/Director of Public Works Date :March 26, 1991 Subject :National Public Works Week National Public Works Week is being celebrated the week of May 19th through May 25th this year. The theme of this years celebration is "Quality of Life through Public Works" . We will hold an open house at the public works shop (2466 Bronson Drive) on Wednesday, May 22nd. The public is invited to stop by for coffee and to view equipment and offices of their public works crew. Activities in our department affecting the quality of life include safe buildings, street repairs, litter control, drinking water quality and safety, efficient sanitary sewer operations, safe aesthetic parks, and support services to other City departments. Many of these activities are not a daily concern of residents, but without the efforts of the public works employees there would be a lower quality experience in our every day activities. In. recognition of National Public Works Week, I am requesting that the City Council consider the attached proclamation. THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW OFFICE OF THE MAYOR PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, public works services provided in our community are an integral part of our citizens' quality of life; and WHEREAS, the support of an understanding and informed citizenry is vital to the efficient operation of the public works systems and programs such as water, sewers, streets and highways, public buildings, solid waste collection, and snow removal; and WHEREAS, the quality and effectiveness of these facilities, as well as their planning, design and construction, is vitally dependent upon the efforts and skill of public works officials; and WHEREAS, the efficiency of the qualified and dedicated personnel who public works departments is materially influenced by the people's attitude and understanding of the importance of the work they perform. NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jerry Linke, Mayor of the City of Mounds View, do hereby proclaim the week of May 19 through May 25, as "NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK" in the city of Mounds View, and I call upon all citizens and civic organizations to acquaint themselves with the problems involved in providing our public works and to recognize the contributions which public works officials make every day to our health, safety and comfort. Given under my hand and the Seal of the City of Mounds View this 8th day of April, 1991. MAYOR A'F1'1 ST: CLERK-ADMINISTRATOR 1 , ' Ute/Yrill P TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: SAMANTHA ORDUNO, CITY ADMINISTRATOR DATE: MARCH 27, 1991 RE: PROPERTY ACQUISITION FOR FIRE STATION SITE IN J"" SPRING LAKE PARK ***************************************************************** The Fall 1990 Fire Bond Referendum provided for the construction of two new fire stations, the remodeling of 3 stations and the purchase of additional and replacement equipment. The current station site in Spring Lake Park is much too small for the proposed upgraded station and further eliminates any possibility of future expansion. The Administrative Committee, consisting of Don Poss, Don Bush and myself, in conjunction with the Council liaisons from the participating cities, have been exploring alternatives for dismantling the current station and rebuilding the new station on the current, rather small, site. The Committee has pursued two alternative courses of action: 1. Acquisition of the lot adjacent to the current fire station. Although the additional lot would provide additional space for the expanded fire station facility, it is questionable if the area would accommodate future expansion or, more importantly, provide for adequate access to and from the station. The adjacent lot is currently for sale with the appraisal at $135,000. There is an additional cost associated with r mova4—of the building-en the corner of hat lot. Also in question, is the loss time for fire calls and other emergencies if the station is demolished and another is constructed on the site - down time could be critical. 2 . Acquisition of a new site. The lead person for the Administrative Committee, Don Poss, has been negotiating with the owners of the Haben Tire site on Hwy. 10, just west of the current fire station. This site is large enough to accommodate current and future facility needs as well as being visibly and access viable. The owners of the property have had the property on the market for $240,000 . The appraisal came in at $197,500. Mr. Poss has a tentative agreement with the owners for a purchase price of $210,000 . J MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAGE TWO MARCH 27, 1991 Purchase of the new site appears to be very attractive in terms of cost, accessibility and uninterrupted service delivery. Since the equipment bids came in over $200,000 lower than had been anticipated, there are funds available with which to acquire the alternative site and construct a station which will reduce the need to acquire additional land in the near future. None of the details of any of the property transactions are complete at this point. However, the Committee members wanted to update their respective Councils with regards to the alternatives currently being pursued.

As usual letters and flyers and posters will be distributed to residents living in the vacinity of Silver View Park requesting their help in the clean-up. The other neighborhoods surrounding the neighborhood parks will also be encouraged to clean-up their neighborhood park. The Lion's Club will be requesting the Irondale High School Band to help in cleaning up Greenfield Park as part of their service for Lion's contributions. Another activity which is being held on Saturday, April 13, 1991 is the placement of bluebird houses at the property corners of the north side of Silver View Park trail. This will provide a visual marker depicting City versus Manor Homes property and will also serve as a wildlife project. The bluebird houses were constructed by local Boy Scout Troops and will be installed by the Boy Scouts and anyone else who wishes to help. Wayne Burmeister, Parks and Recreation Commission Chairperson is a surveyor by trade. He has agreed to provide instruction to the Scouts about the surveying process. A number of the Commissioners along with myself, the Scouts and their troop leaders will be completing this project. The Manor Homes residents will receive a letter inviting their participation if they so incline.
