EXECUTIVE SEARCH CONSULTANTS Preliminary Position Profile Clerk - Administrator City of Mounds View COMMUNITY Background The City of Mounds View is located in the northwest corner of Ramsey County, adjoining Anoka County. The present communities of Mounds View, Arden Hills, Shoreview, North Oaks, New Brighton and part of St. Anthony were all part of the original Mounds View township that included 36 sections of 23,000 acres. The mounds, visible in the area, gave rise to the township name. The largest of these can be seen near the present Twin Cities arsenal. The first township elections were held in May of 1858. In 1891, New Brighton incorporated to become the first village to break from the township. The township remained intact until 1951 when Arden Hills incorporated, followed by North Oaks in 1956 and Shoreview in 1957. After these villages had been formed, residents in the remaining 4 square miles voted to annex to New Brighton; however, New Brighton officials turned the plan down, which led to the incorporation of Mounds View village on April 2, 1958. Mounds View present boundaries are on the north and west, the Anoka County line and the suburbs of Blaine, Spring Lake Park and Fridley; on the south, New Brighton; and on the east Shoreview and Arden Hills. Demographics Mounds View is a heterogeneous community reflecting the rich diversity of an urban area • , much more than the neighboring suburbs. It has characteristics of both the more mature suburban areas and the "boom" growth areas. The community contains more than the average number of seniors as well as a very high percentage of pre-schoolers. It has a large base of affordable housing which continues to attract young families. Both the community's location and it's history have contributed to make it one of the more unique areas in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The City has a blend of both blue collar and white collar households. The former is the largest occupation set in the City; the latter group, when all the other occupations are included, constitutes a majority. As a result, the average income, while lower than the norm, is much higher than the demographic mix suggests. Mounds View draws its residents from a variety of sources. Its latest influx is composed of many short-termers who came to the City in search of a location close to their jobs. There are large numbers of young families moving from other suburbs who choose the community because of its housing and school qualities. In comparison with other communities, Mounds View faces a unique set of problems.,It is much further along the"life cycle" than many of its neighbors. Its declining school population,residential aging,and open space planning are definitely not problems Mounds View must address. However, infrastructure and taxes/services are key questions. The challenge for the future is to maintain those aspects of the community which attract new residents and convincing the population that prudent investments will be necessary to keep the quality of life high during the times ahead.

PAUL. MINNESOTA 55101 •612/224-7000 • FAX 612/223-8079 r Citizen Survey In a recent citizen survey, Mounds View residents rated the quality of life in their City as • very high. They are comfortable with the direction things appear to be moving in and feel confident they can impact City decisions. Because of the geographic location,Mounds View provides a great appeal to many residents. Many current homeowners and renters are attracted because of the easy access to the rest of the metropolitan area. They are also there because of affordable housing. The housing mix was perceived to be a problem by the ' community residents as maturing families moved to larger home to accommodate expansion and lower cost housing options become limited. Population, Housing The City encompasses an area of approximately 4.25 square miles. The City has experienced a moderate growth population since 1970. The 1970 census showed a population of 10,599; in 1980 the population was 12,593; estimates for 1989-1990 is approximately 12,800. Mounds View is approximately 90% developed with the majority of land being developed as single family housing. In 1987-88 new starts for single family housing accounted for 39% and 16%, respectively, of the total estimated cost of construction in the City. Market values of single family homes range from$65-$150,000,with the average in the$75-$85,000 range. Economy. Transportation Since the City is primarily residential, many residents are employed in other parts of the metropolitan area. Interstate highway 35W and U.S. 10 traverse the City providing easy access routes for commuters going to and from the area.

Within the last four years the City has increased the assessed valuation by some $50 million in new commercial, office and retail construction. Education Public education for the City's residents is provided by Independent School District 621, which had an 1989-1990 enrollment of 11,403.

This sign was to be along highway 10, adjacent to the west softball field. I reviewed the proposed location with a representative of the Lions Club and also reviewed the sign code regarding this sign. In my opinion, the code does not require a permit for this sign; only Council approval of the sign and location. City Attorney, Mark Karney, reviewed my opinion and concurred. We also felt the Council had informally approved of the sign and location and that there was no need for further formal action. In discussing this issue with a council member, it became apparent that at least some of the Council feel there_ needs to be additional discussion and approval of this request. \:;4114/1/L'' /46 MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL 411 FROM: ADMINISTRATION SECRETARY/DEPUTY .Cd - '�' DATE: OCTOBER 31, 1990 SUBJECT: HOLIDAY OFFICE SCHEDULE With the holiday season fast approaching employees are questioning the holiday office schedule. Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve both fall on Mondays . In the past the City Council 's practice has been to close operations at 12:00 Noon on both December 24 and December 31st and provide the employee with four hours of paid holiday even though the City's Personnel Code does not recognize Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve as holidays . Further, any employee wishing to have the morning of Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve off should submit a request to their Department Head for vacation or comp. time. Every effort has been made in the past to accomodate all requests, however, all departments have had to have adequate staffing levels during these days. Staff will await Council direction regarding this matter. • /mjs MEMORANDUM Memo To :Mayor and Council Members From :Ric Minetor, City Engineer/Director of Public Works Date :October 29, 1990 /e4 Al Subject :Joint Powers Agreement between Blaine and Mounds View Regarding Street Authority for Certain Border Streets The attached Joint Powers Agreement lists the authorities and responsibilities required under resolution 3024 and also adds concerns about Coral Sea street where it borders Mounds View. I included Coral Sea street since we have talked to Blaine about their concerns in the past with Mounds View properties accessing Coral Sea street which is wholly within Blaine. They had previously indicated their desire to be reimbursed costs associated with Mounds View traffic using Coral Sea street. This agreement appeared to be an appropriate time to resolve this issue as well as the concerns expressed in resolution 3024. In addition to authorizing the Joint Powers Agreement, the resolution attached addresses the concerns about the level of traffic that will cause Mounds View to exercise authority over Airport Road, Red Oak Drive, Ardan Avenue, or other City streets in the area. The traffic report prepared by Short-Elliott-Hendrickson indicates we can expect up to 2400 Average Daily Trips on Red Oak Drive south of 85th Avenue, up to 3300 Average Daily Trips on Red Oak Drive north of Hillview, up to 1000 Average Daily Trips on Ardan west of Red Oak Drive, and up to 900 Average Daily, Trips on Ardan east of Red Oak Drive. I recommend that the traffic levels listed in this report be considered a maximum allowable traffic on these streets; therefore, if the volumes are greater than 90% of the listed volumes, the City should meet with residents to discuss alternatives for traffic control. Traffic volumes would be monitored on a yearly basis. Options would include closing Airport Road extension, traffic diverters, one way streets, And any other reasonable concept that both the neighborhood and the Council can support. A neighborhood meeting can be held before traffic volumes exceed the levels recommended in the report. (See attached references on diverters, traffic circles, etc. ) I recommend we submit the joint powers agreement to Blaine and obtain their concurrence prior to acting on the resolution ourselves . This allows us the flexibility to change the resolution to concur with the final Joint Powers Agreement and add any specifics we feel are necessary after the Joint Powers Agreement is finalized. 7 _____ .. ......... . .......T.::''.....:::„, . ..... ... . • ...........:„. ... -- - _\ � slat �'' • / �f ., .. `' • _ ..:..... • ::..........„, .. k dsly _ . \4,• L:. } r/ ..,,..... ,../. „• tc.—;( - - -ijr- —:.- ---.7.-/-''',--'.,-----..:-#4,,,,,,g,:,---EL::::., , , , t,,,,,,,,, :, ; , ,--., , , _ Ipir 4 t 1 1 4% 1 ,t.,. ... 1:..:-..-- . .-:-.,---.--.--.:: :::::-!....-.-- ,i.,-, ,, _ ‘ ,._,s'i .., 111747, ._.....

Prevention is best done by assuring that the channelization covers a significant part of the intersection,thereby narrowing the area where illegal turn- ing movements can be made. • Emergency Passage. High speed emergency passage is generally difficult to provide for without also providing for easy violation of the intent of the device. However, emergency vehicles can usually maneuver around channelization without severe delay. • Pedestrians, Bicycles, and the Handicapped. Special care should be given to providing routes for bicycles through a channelized area;otherwise,cyclists will tend to make their own way, often in violation of the channelization and some- times at a hazard to themselves. Islands designed to give adequate refuge for pedestrians should also provide for ramps for wheelchairs. Diagonal Diverters A diagonal diverter is a bather placed diagonally across an intersection to,in effect,con- vert the intersection into two unconnected streets,each making a sharp turn(Fig.5.7).The primary purpose of a diagonal diverter is the same as that of forced-turn channelization— to break up through routes,making travel through a neighborhood difficult,while not ac- tually preventing it. If used at a single site,the diagonal diverter is effective only when the neighborhood it is intended to protect is a limited one.If the neighborhood is larger,with other continuous residential streets parallel to the"problem street,'installation of a single diagonal diverter may merely shift through traffic to another local street rather than to bounding major and collector streets.In actual application,this device is therefore often best used as part of a system of devices which discourage or preclude travel through a neighborhood. • The basic advantage of a diagonal diverter over a cul-de-sac is that,by not totally prohibiting the passage of traffic,it tends to reduce the circuity of travel imposed on local yyy j P • ^tel 1, �•��- {{ ♦� : �J - levo• ` ep71440 c • , • "kj• /♦ � .. : Figure 5.7 Diagonal diverter.

Parties. This Agreement is dated the day of 19 ; and is entered into pursuant to the provisions of the Minnesota 'Joint Powers Act, Minnesota Statute 471 . 59 , by and between the Cities of Blaine (herein after "Blaine" ) and Mounds View (herein after "Mounds View" ) ; each such City being a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Minnesota. II. Purpose. It is the Cities general purpose and intent under this agreement to cooperate in the regulation, maintenance, and status of certain streets on and adjacent to the border between the Blaine and Mounds View. The need for this agreement is based on location of streets partially or wholly within Blaine which serve as primary or exclusive access to properties within Mounds View. III. Terms. Now, therefore, Blaine and Mounds View agree to the mutual undertakings as herein after listed: A. Streets of concern in this agreement are , 85th Avenue (aka Ramsey County Road J) , Airport Road (as proposed between new County Road J and existing 85th Avenue) , and Coral Sea street (south of 85th Avenue) . B. Mounds View will maintain that portion of 85th Avenue (existing County Road J) that is turned back to the Cities by Anoka and Ramsey County and also will provide maintenance on the extension of Airport Road between new County Road J and 85th Avenue. The level and types of maintenance will be consistent with Mounds View's provision of maintenance to other Mounds View streets. C. Blaine will maintain that portion of Coral Sea street south of 85th Avenue and provide access to properties within Mounds View that abut Coral Sea street. D. Each City will have sole authority over the streets they maintain under this agreement to establish traffic controls including but not limited to, speed limits, traffic signs, and prohibition of trucks, if appropriate. E. Mounds View will have sole authority to determine the future status of that segment of Airport Road that Mounds View maintains under this agreement. This includes the possible closing of Airport Road to all traffic. • g • TO: Mayor & Council FROM: Don Brager, Finance Director - Treasurer DATE: October 31, 1990 SUBJECT: 1991 General Fund Budget At the October 15, 1990 Council Agenda Session the Proposed 1991 General Fund budget was discussed. A number of possible adjustments to balance the budget were reviewed and a number of adjustments were tentatively chosen which totaled $ 197, 535. A total of $207, 256 of adjustments is needed to balance the budget. An additional $9,721 in adjustments must be made to achieve a balanced budget. Attached please find a revised list of Possible Adjustments To Balance The Budget. This revised list contains the same list previously given to you but has added to it those adjustments that were tentatively agreed to at the October 15 Agenda Session. My October 12, 1990 memo on the General Fund budget indicated that the amount of capital outlay requests were $27, 694 more than the amount of revenues available for capital outlays. At the last Department Head meeting possible adjustments to the capital outlay budget were discussed. Staff offers the following • adjustments for Council 's consideration: Replacement of the puppet wagon $10, 460 Skid loader $18, 000 Aerial photographs $20,000 Lambert Park improvements $14, 000 City Hall Park softball field lighting $39, 000 TOTAL $101,460 Not replacing the puppet wagon follows logically from your previous decision not to continue the program in 1991. The skid loader was originally scheduled for 1992 in the Vehicle & Equipment Replacement Program. All other items could be deferred to a future budget year. Staff awaits Council direction on these possible adjustments to the 1991 capital outlay budget. One item that I have some concern aboutis the addition of a • police officer in the 1991 General Fund budget. At the outset I want to make it clear that I do not question the need for an additional police officer; rather I am concerned about whether the City can afford this position. The addition of a police officer is a long term commitment on the part of the City and the officer hired. A number of years of training of the officer is required before the officer reaches his full value to the City. This is recognized in the contract the City has with Teamsters Local No. 320. When first hired a new officer' s salary is 65% of a top patrolman's salary. If progressing satisfactorily the new officer will reach top patrolman's salary after three years of service to the City. I question whether the City can maintain it's present level of service to residents over the next few years and add an additional police officer to the Police Department. To hire an additional officer when it is questionable that the City will be able to afford the position beyond the next budget year seems unfair to both the officer hired and to the Department. My concern is that the future growth rate of City expenditures will exceed the growth rate of revenues available to the City over the next several years. This has proven to be the case in the past: City revenues have grown at a rate of between 3 - 4% while expenditures have grown at a rate of between 8 - 9%. The City has no control over approximately 74 .4% of General Fund revenues: property taxes have State imposed limits on the amount which may be levied and local government aids are also controlled by the State. Both the property tax and local government aid have increased at a rate of approximately 3-4% the past few years. The effects of having expenditures increase at a rate that is greater than the rate that revenues are increasing is already being felt by the City in preparing the 1991 budget. Payment for certain • services are being shifted to user fees(recreation and storm water management) and certain servicesare being reduced or eliminated. Under such circumstances I do not believe that the City will be able to maintain the current level of services to residents in the future as well as adding an additional officer to the Police Department. Should the Council wish to add an additional officer to the Police Department I believe that you will be faced with the prospect of reducing a service provided in order to continue to be able to afford that officer. The Mayor suggested that the City request the Legislature pass legislation authorizing a special property tax levy for the DARE program and drug enforcement activities. I believe this to be a viable option. Should the City prove to be successful in that endeavor an additional officer could be added atthat time. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

The City's practice is to certify these to the County for collection with taxes payable next year. If Council approves continuing this practice a date should be set for a public hearing to consider certification of these unpaid bills to the County. Staff suggests December 10. A letter will then be sent to all persons with delinquent utility bills and unpaid tree removal invoices advising them of the hearing and allowing them to pay the amounts owed prior to the hearing. RECOMMENDATION: Set a public hearing for 7: 05 p.m. on December 10, 1990 to consider certification of delinquent utility bills and unpaid tree removal invoices to the County for collection with taxes payable 1991. Further direct staff to send notices of the hearing to all persons having delinquent utility bills and unpaid tree removal invoices.

DATE :OCTOBER 25, 1990 SUBJECT :POLICIES FOR PREPARATION OF CITY NEWSLETTER The City Newsletter is published every two months. A memorandum to staff is distributed approximately two weeks prior to publication regarding article assignments and deadlines for submission of these articles. City staff and Council have approximately two weeks to prepare their copy for the upcoming newsletter. The newsletter staff then has approximately three to four working days to prepare the final copy which goes to the printer in a "camera ready" form. This process of presenting the copy in "camera ready" form provides for a considerably less expensive publication in comparison to a typeset format. Therefore, as many of the submitted articles are of a timely nature, it is imperative that they are given to the newsletter staff by the deadline. When articles are submitted past the deadline, during the keylining and paste-up phase of the newsletter, they are often done in haste in order to meet the printing deadline. All of the newsletter copy is subjected to a grammar and spell check word processing mode. However, sentences can be grammatically correct • and still be inaccurate and change the meaning of the sentence, i.e. "not" as compared to "now". It is unfortunate when these typographical errors occur, but it is felt that by stringently abiding by the deadlines, two factors will occur: 1. The newsletter staff will have adequate time to type, format, keyline and proofread submitted articles. 2. Individuals contributing articles will have sufficient time to proofread their own articles prior to publication and thus eliminate inaccuracies. Staff recommends that a policy be set in which articles not submitted to the newsletter staff by the indicated deadline date, be withheld from that newsletter and published in the next newsletter; provided the information is still accurate and timely. /RM 410 MEMO TO: MAYOR & COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: STAFF • DATE: OCTOBER 25, 1990 SUBJECT: POLICIES FOR PREPARATION OF THE CITY NEWSLETTER There seems to be a need to set a policy regarding the preparation of the City Newsletter in an effort to encourage compliance to the deadlines and to ensure error-free text. Two suggestions for policy in the preparation of the City Newsletter is offered in this memo. One policy is the strict compliance to the schedule of deadlines. A schedule of dates and assignments is distributed to staff and council in most cases at least two to three weeks in advance of the deadline dates. It has been experienced that a few individuals tend to delay the process of the printing due to late submission of their material. In a recent case, the publisher was standing, waiting in the office for the material to be handed to him as it was being printed. This leaves inadequate time to proofread the material. In another case, the delay of an article resulted in the material • being faxed to the printer and the need for it to be typeset at an additional cost to the City. There has been many occasions where one article held up the printing of the newsletter by a couple of days. It is suggested that a policy be made so that deadlines be adhered to strictly and that any material submitted after the deadline will simply be omitted and held for the next newsletter. The second policy which is suggested requires the author of each article to be responsible for proof-reading the printed copy. This would put the responsibility of corrections on the author. A special deadline date for proofread material will then be incorporated into the timeline. This added step will hopefully provide an error-free City Newsletter. Staff recommends that the City Council approve by motion these two policies regarding the preparation of the City Newsletter. V( MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY DATE: OCTOBER 25, 1990 SUBJECT: REQUEST TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE PRINTING OF THE 1991 CITY NEWSLETTER Staff has prepared for your review specifications for the printing of the 1991 City Newsletter. The only change has been the options regarding the paper stock. It is assumed that the council wishes to continue with recycled paper. Therefore, the non- recycled paper bid options were not requested. In order to keep on schedule with the printing of the January/February Newsletter, it is requested that the Council approve the specifications at the November 5, 1990 agenda session so that the information can be distributed and bids returned by November 21, 1990. Staff will then provide the bids to the City Council for consideration at the November 26, 1990 Council meeting. • 411 INSTRUCTION TO BIDDERS Bidders are required to submit their bids in accordance with the following conditions: • PROPOSAL The bidder shall submit his proposal on forms as furnished in these specifications. Only proposals which are submitted on the original form attached hereto will be considered.

The bidder may view past copies of the newsletter upon request. BID SECURITY No proposals shall be considered unless accompanied by a cash deposit and/or certified check in the amount of five percent (5%) of the tendered bid. All forms of bid guarantee shall be made payable to the City of Mounds View. The bid guarantees of unsuccessful bidders will be returned following action by the City on the award of the contract, and to the successful bidder upon execution of the contract. In case the successful bidder fails to execute such contract within ten • (10) days after the date of the award, the amount of his bid guarantee shall be forfeited to the City of Mounds View as liquidated damages. NET BID Net bid shall be for furnishing the units as specified. DELIVERY The number of days to complete publication will be a determining factor in making the award. PAYMENT Payment in full, for the publication received, shall be made by the City within thirty (30) days of the completion of each of the six publications, acceptance by the City and receipt of itemized billing from the vendor. Billing shall be made on a per page cost. • k SPECIFICATIONS FOR PUBLISHING SIX CITY NEWSLETTERS • FOR THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW, MINNESOTA 1.

REMARKS: NAME OF FIRM BY TITLE ADDRESS • DATE Uteml 12— MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL • FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY/DEP.:U 'Y RK DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 1990 SUBJECT: CITY LOGO Staff has been checking inventory on stationery, labels, envelopes, etc. in preparation for ordering supplies for the coming year. Many of these supplies will be depleted in the near future. In having stationery, labels, etc. printed, the cost is higher for the City of Mounds View because we use a two color logo. Staff questions if the Council is happy with the current logo or would like to look at changing it. Staff took the liberty to have an outside company, at no charge, draw up two logos for your review and comment, if interested. The logos attached could be printed in black which is a less costly than the two color ink (sample attached) . With all the recycling concerns, it seems only appropriate to have the option of using a one color ink that could be used on recyclable paper and be less costly to the City. The black and white stationery could be used for large mailings and more informal • correspondence while the City could still keep in stock for more formal correspondence to agencies, etc. the two color stationery. Acting Clerk-Administrator Minetor will have samples of recycled paper, a book with sample logos in it and the originals of the drawings of the logo with him at the November 5 agenda session. Staff will await Council direction. - -/mks _ • ,01-1--y ©v NElAJ 1-0GO DESIGN yo3Gg, . .......1] phone: (612•),78'f-3055 0 0 • Fax= (612) 78't-3'f62 - - 2401 `Higlhway IQ . `/4curids- 'Vier/, 'MN 55112 11199! 1-1-Pt-D&U - L ck W 7 • a. • �� Tt`� f �Q')�'� It 0 otinds 1//te til 24101 Ni9Away 10 • Mounds View, MN 551/2 GATEWAY TO YNE NORTH • • printed on+ecyc/dpaper • ugp.c= T .STRT►0NE12y pir cf ck s.
